I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

24/04/2025: Non sono abituato a scrivere una recensione di getto ma la pasta e patate con scampi appena servita è da urlo. Con quella nota piccante c he non sovrasta assolutamente la comunione di sapori perfetta e piena di gusto con sapori autentici. L’antipasto molto buono ed una nota particolare sui crostoni alla cipolla. Trovato grazie ad un commento carpito sulla spiaggia. Da provare se si è in zona. Prezzi onesti per la qualità proposta. Servizio impeccabile.

23/02/2025: Una serie di errori e disattenzioni soprattutto sull’aspetto gluten free, ma anche nel servizio, tuttavia a parte alcuni dettagli dei piatti si mangia abbastanza bene, ma ci sono aspettative troppo alte.

10/11/2025: Very satisfied. Very good food! I recommend the saffron ravioli with meat filling and the desserts! I would also include a side dish of your choice in the price of the cutlet. Excellent service, kind and attentive staff! We'll be back.

12/10/2025: We dined at the Gandula Restaurant in Cesate, a charming location surrounded by a large green space, making it an ideal destination for important events such as weddings, first communions, and so on. The restaurant has a welcoming indoor dining room, a covered outdoor area, and—the real highlight—a vast, illuminated garden that creates a magical atmosphere. The service is attentive, and the menu is simple yet sophisticated. We ordered risotto with ossobuco (very good) and excellent paccheri with cherry tomatoes and stracciatella. We will definitely return to try the cotoletta alla milanese: we saw some magnificent ones paraded between the tables, and it will be our next stop. Although some dishes are a bit pricey, the quality of the cuisine and the ambiance are worth the visit.

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.

11/10/2025: Excellent place for quality and service.

11/10/2025: The pizza was good, but everything else was rather mediocre. The service was inattentive and not particularly friendly.

26/10/2025: Sunday dinner in late October, one of the few places open in the area. A pleasant surprise, both the orecchiette with meatballs and the tripe were excellent, but above all, the delicious almond and fig spumone! It's a shame I don't live nearby, but I'd love to go back.

15/10/2025: the hamburger meat had an unbearably bad smell.

12/10/2025: My hamburger was spoiled and smelled bad. I sent my plate back to the kitchen. The boss, with whom I argued, made me pay for my meal... I'll never go to that restaurant again.

18/10/2025: If you've ever dreamed of a timeless experience, where the concept of quick service is treated like an urban legend, this is the perfect place for you. I ordered a sandwich—not a gala dinner, not a 12-course tasting menu, but a sandwich—and after more than an hour, I'm starting to develop an emotional bond with the table. The staff is kind... in the sense that they ignore you with an almost artistic grace. Maybe they're still teaching bread the meaning of the word "toasted," or maybe they're personally raising the cow for the cheese—I don't know, maybe it's the hallucinogenic effects of the wait. In any case, congratulations: not everyone can transform a simple dinner into a forced meditation experience. When it finally arrives, I look at it: plot twist! It's identical to the one my mother makes me at home. Only at hers it takes me five minutes, and there's even a goodnight kiss included in the service. If you want to explore the limits of human patience, book here. Bring a book. Or two.

09/08/2025: We went to this place for dinner with friends (nine of us). We were served by a young man who was a novice and did a great job despite his obvious awkwardness. The menu is definitely TOO long; none of us really read it, but we chose based on our instincts. I'm sure that if it were slimmed down a bit, it would be better for the manager, waiters, and chef, as well as the customers. Everything was good, but the most absurd thing is the rock-bottom prices. I can't understand how they can keep them so low. We spent €12 each and couldn't finish everything, despite how generous the portions were! The atmosphere is certainly not that of a romantic dinner, but for an evening with friends without too many expectations, it's perfect!

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)

26/09/2025: Trattoria in Porto Badisco, one of the many beautiful locations in Salento.

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

11/08/2025: A guarantee within reach. Friendly staff, fair prices, fantastic quality.

29/07/2025: Attentive service, high-quality meat

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.

24/10/2025: Great welcome for a really good Italian breakfast!

02/10/2025: It was nice to come back. I had been shunning it for years due to the rudeness of the previous owner. Now that it's under new ownership, it's a whole different story. The breakfasts and coffee were excellent. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: If you go to Lecce, you absolutely must go to Mamma Rita's! You'll enjoy excellent dishes, and the pizza is a must! The best! Friendliness, professionalism, cleanliness—it has it all. I recommend making a reservation because there are so many people who want to eat there from opening to closing!

27/10/2025: Mrs. Lucia is always ready to welcome her guests with her sweet manner. I feel at home. I recommend it... Excellent service. The atmosphere is peaceful and the rooms are a reflection...

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.
