I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

22/08/2025: I normally don’t leave reviews but for this place I have to. The food was exceptional, the ingredients were incredibly fresh and the waitstaff is very attentive. Also, the place is beautiful! We went a couple of times when we were in Lecce and tried different dishes, all delicious including the sushi (one of the best I’ve tasted) and the amazing tiramisu. Definitely a must if you are in Puglia!

21/08/2025: Attentive service, delicious dinner, beautifully presented plates, a pleasure for the eyes and the palate.

02/07/2025: We had a wonderful experience at Sud Kitchen! Excellent and attentive service with an incredible, focused, menu. Definitely check this place out, just a short walk from main areas. We shared a classic orichetti, gnocchi and curry prawn raviolis. Everything was super flavorful and delicious.

28/06/2025: Very refined and delicious cuisine, prepared by a very approachable chef! We enjoyed everything from starter to dessert! The wines by the glass are also excellent! The value for money is unbeatable: we highly recommend it!

05/08/2025: I didn't have a good experience... I saw a menu online with good prices. You show up in person and a pasta dish with mussels costs 13 euros more, which is a bit more expensive.

05/08/2025: We've been back when we're on vacation in the area; it's a must. Dinner for four, location with a spectacular view, excellent food as always. If I may recommend something, I think the paccheri and the mixed fried rice dishes are great for everyone, so gluten-free. All dishes are also available gluten-free. And last but not least, the service was excellent and knowledgeable. See you next time.

25/08/2025: We ordered takeout, they didn't call us when it was ready, we ate a good pizza but it was cold...

25/08/2025: We came to eat in this superb place! Warm and understanding welcome regarding the language barrier. Delicious meal! Thank you to the entire smiling and welcoming team.

17/08/2025: Discovered the bar thanks to the B&B where we stayed. Highly recommended, never had Pasticciotti like theirs. Don't miss it if you're in the area!

27/07/2025: This pastry shop has watched me grow up; I've been a regular there since I was no taller than the tables. They have sublime delicacies—not just the pasticciotti!—and the owners are courteous.

07/07/2025: What can I say, everything is good and the ingredients are quality, when we want to eat well our choice always falls on CAPOCCIA'S even if we are not really close. Fam Leone.

07/07/2025: We had a great time for lunch. They prepared social meals to our taste. The quality is exceptional (of food and service). Thanks again

16/08/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, where Walter, with his warmth, kindness, and professionalism, made us feel right at home. 10/10 and highly recommended. A year later, even though the management has changed, we were warmly welcomed and enjoyed quality food.

11/08/2025: Superb restaurant, very good food at a very affordable price...to do without hesitation

09/08/2025: Very friendly staff and excellent food. Excellent location, in the historic center of Otranto. Ideal for couples and those seeking tranquility.

09/08/2025: Excellent restaurant in the center of Otranto. Very friendly staff and a location with both indoor and outdoor seating, with the option of dining in a secluded area away from the main pedestrian area. The dishes are predominantly seafood, but all are fresh and delicious. The quality/price ratio is definitely favorable: if you go to Otranto, go here, and I recommend booking because it fills up quickly.

31/08/2025: Not far from Lecce Unassuming from the outside, but very nice inside and with an outdoor area The prices are very reasonable... Karaoke is offered, and the atmosphere is very nice.

22/07/2025: Trattoria con offerta di piatti locali, semplici ma ben realizzati. Molto attenti anche nel servizio. Ci siamo fermati per l'ultima sera in Salento sennò saremmo tornati. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

17/07/2025: A traditional and welcoming osteria. Fresh, high-quality seafood. Fast and friendly service. A welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth returning.

07/08/2025: Exquisite, beautiful place, very good service!

05/08/2025: We come to this restaurant every time we vacation in Puglia: it's a true feast, the likes of which are increasingly rare, in a place where you can experience a genuine welcome and truly enjoy your meal. We started with the house appetizer: a riot of local specialties served generously and expertly. From golden pittule to potato pitta, frittata, peperonate, fava bean purée with chicory, and a slew of other rustic delicacies, every bite was a tribute to tradition. We also ordered two burratas on the side: creamy and incredibly fresh. For our first course, we chose orecchiette with Tropea red onion and a touch of Negroamaro: an original, fragrant dish with an intense and enveloping flavor, with a perfect balance of sweetness and character. Then for our second course: the skewer. A mixed grill of sausage, bombetta, pancetta, pork tenderloin, and chicken... all cooked to perfection, succulent, and flavorful, and served with house fries, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The service was attentive, friendly, and very helpful (as always). The staff is present but never intrusive, ready to passionately explain each course. Here, you're not treated like an ordinary customer, but like a welcome guest. And you can sense their pride in their cuisine, their desire to make everyone feel good. Those who come here should know that it's not just about the food: it's an experience of authentic flavors, sincere hospitality, and true abundance, the kind that leaves you happy, satisfied, and smiling. A tribute to good food and the art of making people feel at home. We'll definitely be back, like every year we visit Puglia.

21/06/2025: The ice creams are spectacular. We tried the fig, the pineapple and mint, the walnut and fig, and the basil, which was wonderful. 100% recommended.

21/06/2025: Mango and Watermelon ice creams are fabulous!!!

29/07/2025: Pizzas for €10.50 are amazing! Crispy, fresh and delicious! Accompanied by a fruity Italian rosé at €15 a bottle! The setting isn't amazing, but honestly, the most important thing is what's on the plate. Ps: a good sign... there are some locals, so it's not a tourist trap!

29/06/2025: The arancini are spectacular! The pizza is also excellent, even the one with gluten 😉
