I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

09/05/2026: The pasta was excellent, al dente, and the wine was €4 for a quarter-liter, a real bargain. I'll definitely be back – a great find!

04/05/2026: Restaurant overlooking a square at the foot of the castle and by the sea. The pork bombettes were very good. The restaurant was very quiet on this Sunday evening in early May.

06/04/2026: Unparalleled customer service. A wide-ranging menu and, above all, excellent value. Definitely worth returning!

06/04/2026: I've reserved another Easter Monday before writing a review, and I have to say that nothing has changed since last year. The staff is quite rude. The guy who takes reservations, I think, should calm down. I think he should remember that he's dealing with customers, and kindness pays off in every way! The wait was interminable. The waitress told us 5 minutes and then she arrived, I think. We waited 45 minutes in line! Perhaps it could be a great place if they could review the staff and wait times.

30/10/2025: I found it a bit expensive and a little oily. Panino tomato tuna €9, café americano €3.50, perhaps because I had something similar yesterday in Lacco Ameno that was cheaper and tastier.

14/10/2025: We went there while strolling through the streets, the panini was very good, very crispy, the best. The service was good, two girls were at the bar very nice

15/04/2026: I'd been there before, during the Queen night. It was a very special, beautiful place. Efficient staff, excellent food, and reasonable prices. The owner was incredibly friendly! I highly recommend it! I had a lovely evening with friends. Thanks, Arahnos. By Stefania.

23/02/2026: Congratulations, everything is super excellent

14/12/2025: Greeted by a waiter practically in his pajamas, a bottle of spoiled Cappello del Prete, and rude manners. Don't worry, I didn't make a mistake, it's you guys.

25/10/2025: One of the best experiences in Salento: authentic food, super fresh fish, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll become regulars!

22/03/2026: WOW! The food is wonderful 🤩 Everything is delicious. The only flaw is in one of the off-menu dishes, the spaghetti with lobster. The lobster is very chewy, but otherwise it's a spectacle. Trust me and go there.

09/03/2026: The food is excellent; it's simple, traditional cuisine, with a seasonal menu that respects the ingredients. The seafood linguine is excellent. The restaurant is located in Acaya, a small village in the province of Lecce, a short walk from the castle. There's a lovely fireplace. The service is friendly. 100% recommended.

10/05/2026: The restaurant enjoys good attendance, a sign that it knows how to attract customers, but our experience left us with some concerns about several aspects. Regarding the food, the prices are affordable, but we expected better quality: the fish didn't seem particularly fresh and wasn't listed as frozen on the menu, the pasta was a bit overcooked, and the fried shrimp could have been cleaned more thoroughly. The service also had some challenges: the staff's attire was rather informal, the wait times were longer than expected, and we noticed that some tables arriving after us were served early. The waiters also seemed unsure about their dish assignments, which contributed to some confusion. At the time of payment, we would have appreciated a brief feedback on the experience, a simple gesture that always makes a difference and underscores the young woman's awareness of failure on multiple fronts. At this point, I wonder: are there still places that prefer quick and easy profits to things done well? For what purpose?

27/04/2026: I had lunch at this beautiful restaurant with a sea view. The staff was very friendly. The menu was excellent, from appetizer to dessert. The season has just begun, and we'll be happy to return.

18/05/2026: A seaside-style restaurant in the center of Otranto. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The mussels and catch of the day are highly recommended. The grilled fish is truly superb, a must-try. Fast and attentive service.

06/05/2026: Highly recommend! So impressed tasty food great service. We ordered the special of the day pasta with cubed fresh monkfish cooked in a flavorful light yellow tomato sauce which compliments it perfectly, hubby had the perfectly grilled octopus in a broad bean purée & chicory.

27/12/2025: A venue in the center of Gallipoli, packed with young people. On the busiest nights, there's little organization.

19/12/2025: The girls are very kind. Drinks and appetizers lived up to expectations.

27/12/2025: A delicious fried dish, preceded by delicious spaghetti with mussels.

21/10/2025: Very good restaurant with design, no sandwich, as well as a bar on the other side personal, smiling, welcoming, very beautiful, decoration A sufficient variety of products an impressive generosity on the meat for a very cheap price 3-4€ for a sandwich overflowing with filling)

27/05/2026: Their menu is very inviting and the food came out as good as it says. The service is very good. The owner recommended us a perfect rose for our meal.

23/05/2026: Had dinner here last night. There is nothing authentic or Italian about this restaurant. It was a pretty mediocre experience. I ordered a carbonara - the worst carbonara I’ve ever tasted. Other dishes weren’t good either. I’d say avoid - there are better places around.

02/05/2026: If you love fish, you absolutely must go there; it's a bit pricey, but very delicious.

07/04/2026: I had a truly wonderful meal, with excellent appetizers and high-quality raw fish. The first courses were tasty and plentiful, the roasted cuttlefish with vegetables was a real treat for those who want to limit their fat intake, the seared tuna was excellent and beautifully presented, and all with a wide selection of wines. Top 👍🏻 Prices in line with the quality of the products.

19/01/2026: We waited an hour and a half to eat

12/01/2026: Professional, helpful and the food is good
