05/01/2026: After a day exploring the Christmas lights, we stopped by Leo's for a quick sandwich. We'd heard about it, so why not try it since we were in the area? We were greeted by friendly, smiling staff, and the place and restrooms were very clean and tidy. The mixed fries arrived first, incredibly crispy. The pulled pork, served on croutons, arrived. Excellent and incredibly flavorful. Finally, the beef burgers and my veggie sandwich arrived—I can't say enough about them, they were delicious. Everything was truly delicious, and if a vegetarian tells you so, believe me, because there was room for us at Leo's too.

29/11/2025: We went to Pub da Leo in Casarano for dinner, and the experience was truly amazing from start to finish. The restaurant is located right in the center, easy to get to, and has a welcoming, yet informal atmosphere, perfect for those looking to relax and those looking for a lively place to eat well and spend a pleasant evening. We ordered two Florentine steaks, and we have to say we've rarely found such good ones: cooked exactly to perfection, the meat tender, flavorful, and impeccably served. To top it all off, the freshest onion rings, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, truly a treat for lovers of properly prepared delicacies. We didn't stop there: we also ordered a piadina with scamorza and porchetta, flavorful and well-balanced, as well as an excellent entrecôte. Each dish arrived on time, hot, and carefully prepared. A cuisine that knows how to enhance simple ingredients without overdoing it, but with great care. The total for the evening was €150, an absolutely reasonable amount considering the quantity, quality, and service. One incident deserves mention: the system had mistakenly calculated €39, but we reported it immediately. The staff handled everything with extreme professionalism, thanking us for our honesty and always maintaining a friendly and helpful attitude. A detail that further enhances the restaurant and its staff. To end on a sweet note, we ordered two crepes: one plain with coconut and the other with white Nutella and pistachio. Both were excellent, with a light crust and delicious combinations, perfect for a final indulgence. Another plus is the staff: friendly, smiling, attentive, and always ready to accommodate requests. We had such a great time that we gladly left a tip for the waiter, a well-deserved gesture for the impeccable service. In conclusion, Pub da Leo is a place that deserves to be in Casarano's TOP 5 for the quality of its food, atmosphere, and professionalism of its staff. Highly recommended for those who want to eat well and spend a pleasant evening.

14/12/2025: A confirmation of my previous visit a few months ago... in a truly family-friendly atmosphere, excellent and varied zero-mile dishes of excellent quality and above all the discovery of new dishes and flavors unknown to me... the owner Giuseppe, together with his son, daughter, and wife in the kitchen, were so kind and helpful in accommodating us, even with our dog, now forgotten in other restaurants/trattorias... and above all in explaining and suggesting authentic foods and flavors new to my palate... truly recommended....

26/11/2025: The food wasn’t to my taste. In the pasta with turnips, all I could feel was a very strong bitter flavor. The pasta with meatballs was quite bland, and the meatballs themselves weren’t tender. What saved the situation a bit was the fritto misto, which was good. The temperature inside was very low, and we had to keep our jackets and hats on throughout the entire meal

15/01/2026: A get-together with colleagues and friends. Nice place, friendly staff, fast service, food lived up to my expectations, and reasonable prices. This time I chose the puccia, but next time I'll try something else. Highly recommended.

03/01/2026: Very good food, very kind staff

06/01/2026: We went with a group of 26 friends to lunch at this delightful little restaurant in the heart of Otranto on January 3, 2026. We were welcomed by Mrs. Doriana with warmth and kindness. The food and price were excellent. I highly recommend it.

03/01/2026: We wandered in by chance on a (very cold) December 31st, and without a reservation, they welcomed us and served us an excellent seafood dinner for New Year's Eve! Excellent value for money, attentive and unobtrusive service (despite the restaurant obviously being full).

14/10/2025: An excellent experience in every way! The food was simply delicious—every dish was prepared with care, flavor, and high-quality ingredients. Truly gourmet cuisine that captivates you from the first bite. The service was impeccable, professional, yet very human and friendly. We felt warmly welcomed and cared for. The value for money was also more than fair, considering the quality of the offerings. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking an authentic, refined, and satisfying culinary experience. We'll definitely be back!

29/09/2025: This was my second visit to this restaurant and I was completely satisfied. Excellent food, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, professional staff, everything was perfect. My compliments to the chef, and what can I say? I'll be back again.

07/11/2025: It says it's open and it's closed

26/10/2025: A beautiful venue with soft lighting and sofas for a relaxing end to the evening, perfect for couples. The staff is friendly and professional. We'll return time and time again.

23/10/2025: Interesting sandwiches and delicious wine. Very highly recommend lovely to sit outside watching people go by but quiet enough that it’s very relaxing.

21/10/2025: The best sandwich you can find in Lecce! Try the special sandwich with different tastes mixed on a single experience. Delicious!

05/01/2026: Disappointing food, New Year's Eve dinner costing €60 per person, I don't understand how the restaurant has such high reviews, they're fake

10/12/2025: I had lunch with my family on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It was a pleasant discovery: excellent food, impeccable service, and a very small and intimate location worth revisiting. Recommended.

08/12/2025: My favorite ice cream and creperie. I recommend trying the ice cream crepe (on an empty stomach because it's amazing). Thank you and congratulations! See you next time.

22/11/2025: Fresh, creamy gelato, rich filling, and a crunchy cone. Excellent! Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

06/01/2026: The puccia was forgettable (we ordered the one with burrata, capocollo, and zucchini) and the friendliness of the owners was nonexistent (despite the place being empty). Not a smile, and when I asked for a piece of bread to entertain my 8-month-old baby, I was told they didn't have any, so I had to buy an empty puccia. There are definitely better puccias and friendlier owners elsewhere in Lecce!

16/12/2025: We went with my son and had the Leccese and Salentina. Really good.

02/01/2026: Super food...welcoming staff...a lovely place...I highly recommend it!!!

01/01/2026: I had dinner on New Year's Eve with my family, we found the welcome and food top notch, I really appreciated the attention given to my 3-year-old daughter for whom the owner prepared an excellent "tailor-made" dinner, excellent service, excellent food and prices in line, all in a very nice place. I recommend it.

06/01/2026: We liked everything, the food was fresh and tasty, excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere, we will definitely come back again.

05/01/2026: Always fresh fish and original dishes. The best seafood restaurant in the center of Lecce.

08/11/2025: Superb setting, refined dishes, professional service

10/10/2025: The place is beautiful, certainly very pleasant in the middle of summer because it's under the trees :). The service is impeccable; they speak French if you prefer. The fish is very good. Perhaps some of the sauces lack a little conviction :). We loved the turmeric and seed bread, which enhanced all the dishes! The wine selection was very good :).
