I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

30/09/2025: We chanced upon this restaurant while walking after dinner, and stopped for a drink and to enjoy the beautiful view of the port and peaceful side of the fortified wall area of Otranto's historic centre. Based on that enjoyable experience we dined there the following evening; it was wonderful. It's a beautiful setting, the service was excellent, and the food was very good; I had a vegan dish, tofu tataki, which was very tasty and filling. For dessert we shared tiramisu and it was literally the best one I've ever had; somehow light and not overly sweet or gooey, just a beautiful balance of flavours. Perfect! Because it's a little off the beaten path it's quieter than some other restaurants in the tourist area, which was delightful.

28/09/2025: Very attentive service and fine food.

15/10/2025: Not a negative experience. Perhaps the tone and expectations were too high compared to what was actually proposed. Perhaps a second test is needed.

12/10/2025: And a great place to go absolutely pizzas more than excellent

12/10/2025: Rude staff, poor hygiene, stay away!

25/09/2025: TERRIFYING! We were regulars at the bar/ice cream shop, but after what happened, not only will we never return, I fear I won't even be able to eat ice cream for a long time to come. While I was enjoying a Black Cherry ice cream (which already had a different flavor than usual), what I thought was a candied cherry turned out to be a COCKROACH, complete with legs. The horror and disgust are indescribable. As if that weren't enough, when I understood my reaction, the owner not only didn't apologize, but dismissed me with a chilling: "These things can happen." The fact that an insect could wander into a restaurant is questionable enough, but finding one in a food served to customers is unacceptable. Never again, Coco Loco.

22/09/2025: Always kind and helpful. Delicious fried appetizers. Good meat and excellent prices.

10/09/2025: Passing by on our way from Santa Maria di Leuca to Maglie, we decided to stop for lunch, attracted by the good reviews and its location in the center of Alessano. But once we arrived, we found the shutters down, even though Google Maps said it was open continuously from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. A waste of time.

18/10/2025: A bit late getting served. Normal....it was very crowded. The croquettes were unbeatable, too good. The rest of the food was average.

16/09/2025: Returned to this place after 30 years. Everything has remained the same. The appetizers were good, expensive but with no indication of the ingredients. The roast beef was excellent. The service was beyond words! It was a Friday night, prime time, so not even peak time.

02/10/2025: Welcoming place and knowledgeable staff. We ordered a vegetarian pizza, removing the mozzarella because we were intolerant. To keep it from drying out too much, they recommended adding tomato sauce to the base. A surprise on the bill: a full euro more for the tomato sauce! And the mozzarella we removed? We didn't notice it right away, otherwise we would have pointed it out. It's like being lost in a glass of water!

08/09/2025: Delicious pizza. We went for a family get-together. You can sit inside or outside. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Also perfect for celebrating confirmations, birthdays, etc.

16/10/2025: At 2:30 pm the cafe was already closed, but the sign said it was supposed to be open until 3:30 pm.

17/09/2025: A guarantee! Every dish is excellent! The owners are friendly and kind. Compliments. Highly recommended.

21/10/2025: It's not a pickup point, even though it says so. So don't waste your time if you need to go specifically to ship packages. Otherwise, it's good.

24/08/2025: The courtesy and friendliness make you feel at home. The quality of the food is excellent.

26/10/2025: Very nice, clean, and large pool. Awesome location!

15/09/2025: A high-quality facility with highly trained instructors. Semi-Olympic pool, children's pool, and conference room. Competitive teams: FIN, ACSI, and freediving. Gymnastics and lifeguard courses available. Recommended.

24/09/2025: Excellent meal, with fresh produce and authentic cuisine, far from the tourist traps, I highly recommend it if you want to treat yourself! Adorable waiter!

24/09/2025: A very beautiful location, very simple food, but my god it's good!!! and the server is very nice, I recommend it with my eyes closed.

17/11/2025: Four out of five stars. We ordered two pizzas with burgers. Overall, it was a positive experience, but I'd like to point out that the burger, cut into wedges, was far too small and thin considering the €8 price of the pizza plus €2 for the cover charge.

26/08/2025: We spent an evening at this pizzeria. The pizza was excellent and the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it.

19/10/2025: Limited menu. Only grilled meat and appetizers. No first courses, pizzas, or pucce. The pizza chef is on vacation, so either you order meat and fried food or you go elsewhere.

12/09/2025: Everything was excellent, the horse meat pieces in sauce were fabulous, and what can I say about the croquettes? It was the first time I'd eaten them, and it was a surprise. Excellent service, very affordable prices, and normal wait times. I'll definitely be back.

19/08/2025: As always, a guarantee...every time I come from Milan, even if it's far away, I come to Lecce for your top calzone!!!!!

12/08/2025: We ended up here by chance while looking for a quick pizza before visiting Lecce. Delicious pizza, perfect quality and quantity of ingredients! We also had the fried calzones. Everything was perfect. The owners? Fabulous and incredibly kind! Keep up the good work! Congratulations!

14/11/2025: I'm very satisfied with the friendliness, professionalism, kindness, and helpfulness of the entire staff. They were completely willing to give me the space to create my entire setup. Furthermore, on the occasions I've had the pleasure of being here to sample their food, I've been equally satisfied. Truly, everything was excellent.

31/08/2025: Excellent and plentiful appetizers Pizza by the meter is a great idea, but they should also offer a traditional round pizza (they only make it for those with food intolerances). Slow service, about an hour before taking the order.

01/10/2025: A very simple but charming place for a meat dinner. You order at the table and then, if desired, choose your meat at the counter. Over two evenings, we tried several dishes, and everything was very good: meat, pucce, and vegetables. The staff was quick and very friendly, but the prices were moderately high for the type of food offered, and choosing alone could mean you'll either order too much or too little.

30/09/2025: Nice and welcoming place The girls serving the tables were truly exquisite and attentive to every need The pucce are truly excellent and well-stuffed The meat is really good; you can choose what and how to eat it at the counter The atmosphere is family-friendly, without too many clichés. In short, if you want to spend an evening with friends, drink beer/wine, and eat good meat, I highly recommend it!
