I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

30/09/2025: It was a delightful discovery. Invited to dinner by some friends, I had the pleasure of sampling the dishes prepared by Oliviero, the owner, in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it for horse meat lovers.

27/09/2025: Friendliness, speed, flavor, and conviviality. Here, you don't choose the dishes; they choose you! Highly recommended for those who love to feel at home.

14/10/2025: The Tiramisu was amazing, absolutely recommend if you crave for a fabulous Tiramisu

14/10/2025: The ice cream is okay. We've had much better ice cream elsewhere, but also worse ones. The servers weren't smiling at all. And when we wanted to sit on the terrace to eat our ice cream, they came to tell us that this place is reserved for those who eat salty food. Even though it's October and three-quarters of the terrace is empty. So personally, I won't be going back.

27/07/2025: We've been regulars for years, and we've always had a good experience, probably because until now we've always dealt with Mr. Vito, an excellent and always very kind host. Last night, however, we were "lucky" enough to encounter a rude waiter. We'd simply asked to be moved from one table to another, as the one assigned to us was too close to some plants and had no air circulation, given the sweltering heat. After much insistence, the arrogant waiter was about to grant us our request, until the owner intervened, informing us in an arrogant and nervous tone that he, not us, decided on the table assignments. Ours was merely a request, not an imposition. We left, because courtesy and respect come first. We obviously won't be returning.

13/07/2025: Vergognosi! Maleducati, una donna incinta con un’urgenza di andare in bagno a cui è stato chiesto necessariamente una consumazione. Dopo che il compagno più volte ha ribadito che fosse incinta e che avesse un’urgenza è stato spinto dal titolare. Successivamente sono seguite intimidazioni da parte del titolare verso il compagno.

17/11/2025: Slow, so much so that you lose your hunger and your desire to experience a moment of joy and conviviality.

05/11/2025: There is plenty of great pizzas in Galatina, and this isn't one of them.

11/10/2024: Needed a quick stop for a sandwich and a salad, and found this place brought along the waterfront. Everything was fine. The food was good. The beer was cold. The only problem I know that they cannot control all the stinking flies.

09/10/2024: Great location, terrible food. We had two chicken salads - and even that simplest of dish was off. Chicken tasted dry and double fried, watery salad felt straight out a supermarket bag. One of those places that seemingly don’t put any effort on what they serve you.

08/09/2025: The place is quite remote but close to the beach, but the place is very average and not very clean. The food is homemade and very good, but when we paid, they charged us whatever they wanted. There's no price list and they don't even give you a receipt or anything. The staff was friendly, but I think they just gave us a hard time because we were tourists and we didn't speak the language. I don't recommend it at all, or ask the prices before starting to eat.

07/09/2025: The bar seemed nice, and we ordered a sharing menu. This was questioned several times, and we confirmed it. We received the primi in a small portion, followed by a large plate of secundi. In the end, he charged us for two full menus, even though we only had one and had only ordered one. We felt ripped off!

18/08/2025: A beautiful place, perfect service, good food and good prices. I recommend it.

09/08/2025: Lorenzo bene - be polite - try some Italian. They will look after you. Best pizza in scorano

21/04/2025: Leckeres preiswertes Essen ,sehr freundlicher Service in einem kleinen Örtchen in der Nähe von Lecce. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.

01/02/2025: If for some reason the restaurant is closed, when it appears open on the internet, deactivating the automatic booking of the restaurant on Google would be appreciated... Thanks anyway

27/10/2025: Cala Marin Bar was a huge disappointment. It's the bar attached to the lido, so you'd expect slightly higher prices than average, but what's truly disappointing is the poor quality of the food served. The food offering is very limited, and what little there is is sloppily prepared and poorly executed. We tried a few items on the menu, and unfortunately, almost everything was inedible. Dry sandwiches, less-than-fresh ingredients, and no attention to presentation or flavor. Everything seemed prepackaged and hastily reheated, with no regard for the final quality. The price-to-service ratio was simply unacceptable. The only positive exception was the rustico leccese, which at €3 was at least decent compared to the rest. However, one decent item isn't enough to save the overall experience. The service is slow and inattentive, with long waits even when there are no customers. Cala Marin Bar seems to thrive solely on its location, but it's completely lacking in attention and professionalism. I don't recommend it, and I don't think we'll return. There are much better options in the area.

21/09/2025: We visited a beachside bar in Italy as a group of six gay friends, and unfortunately, we had a very unpleasant experience. When we ordered tequila with salt and lime, the waiter realized we were gay and made a rather offensive remark, saying that “salt and lime is a lady’s thing, not for men.” He then refused to bring the accompaniments we asked for. This kind of attitude is unacceptable and shows a level of prejudice we did not expect to encounter. So here’s a heads-up to other LGBTQIA+ customers looking for a welcoming environment: sadly, this place did not treat us with the respect everyone deserves.
