I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

19/01/2026: The fish is incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. I recommend the sea bass in a potato and olive crust. Excellent! I'm back to this welcoming restaurant in the historic center of Lecce, under Porta San Biagio. The food is high-quality and well-prepared. The table service is also excellent, courtesy and empathy from Alessio and Francesco. Andrea's warm welcome was professional, courteous, and kind. The quality/price ratio is truly excellent. A must-try if you're in Lecce. Compliments, highly recommended.

18/01/2026: Disappointing! I hadn't been to this restaurant in a while. Unfortunately, the menu and the dishes were disappointing. The Blunotte linguine with stracciatella and shrimp tartare had a predominantly buttery flavor, and the fried ingredients were not crispy and had a strong oily taste. We asked for a change of pasta (fresh tagliolini) but were denied as it was unavailable. The desserts weren't satisfying either... The location appears dim and cramped. Our table was wedged into a recess with the chairs literally attached to those of the next table, making it cramped and suffocating. Courtesy of the staff. Needs improvement...

02/12/2025: Delicious pizza, even lactose-free. They're super tasty and light. Whenever we can, coming here on Saturdays is a must! Well-organized service!

28/11/2025: Great pizza, fast service, tight deadlines. 😋

07/01/2026: I have to thank my friends (Steve and Raffa) who introduced me to this restaurant in October, but I must also compliment the owner for the welcome he gave us and for the excellent cuisine! I wholeheartedly recommend going in and discovering flavors you will fall in love with forever. My compliments, truly.

05/01/2026: I've been back after a while and it's always top notch. The chef's recommendations are always spot on. The fish is exquisite, incredibly fresh, and divinely cooked. Abundance is the motto of this restaurant! We ordered calamarata with lobster and amberjack sauce, where the fish was truly abundant. The seafood salad and breaded anchovies were also incredibly fresh. The gratinated calamari was also exceptional. All this in the relaxing atmosphere of an elegant and refined restaurant. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Congratulations!!! I'll be back soon because it's worth it.

19/09/2025: Very nice view Very good food (the octopus is really amazing - fried and in salad both) People are nice Not so expensive Recommended !

18/09/2025: We came because the reviews were positive. But I don't understand why. The salad is almost entirely green salad and is served in a cardboard box... and for the octopus sandwich the bread was cold and not even toasted... it was bland. Poor value for money in my opinion.

11/11/2025: It was a fantastic dinner at this restaurant in Casarano. Delicious food and fantastic service. There were eight of us and we had a wonderful time.

24/10/2025: Friendly staff and good value for money food.

02/01/2026: Il Borghetto is one of those restaurants that immediately makes you feel right at home. A welcoming, refined atmosphere, reminiscent of home and tradition. Each dish speaks of its local tradition, prepared with quality ingredients and a passion that is evident from the first bite. You don't come here just to eat well, but to experience a moment of relaxation, conviviality, and true pleasure. A place you'll gladly return to, knowing you'll always find authentic flavors, attentive service, and the warmth that makes all the difference.

06/10/2025: Homemade food. The pasta was excellent.

15/12/2025: One of my favorite restaurants in the heart of Galatina.

26/08/2025: Perfect and delicious everything…✌️✌️✌️

25/08/2025: Not far from Lecce, this small restaurant has a lovely garden. The waitress was lovely, and we felt pampered from start to finish. The cuisine is excellent and refined. I highly recommend the tasting menu, which allows you to fully experience the chef's cuisine and the careful selection of ingredients. Very reasonable prices for fabulous food. Thank you, we'll be back as soon as we return to Puglia.

03/01/2026: Unfortunately, it was a bad experience. The food wasn't up to par, the atmosphere was cold. Luckily, the owner was very friendly and helpful. The pizzas were served first to the children at our request.

27/11/2025: A small, intimate trattoria serving excellent local meat and fish dishes. The owner is incredibly friendly. Excellent value for money.

03/10/2025: If you're passing through Gagliano del Capo, we highly recommend this restaurant. We had a wonderful meal there, from the "primo piatto" to the "dolci." The flavors are local and well-prepared! We received a warm welcome and the service was very attentive and friendly. Go there! ;)

18/11/2025: I've been coming to this place since it opened... But I just celebrated my birthday there... What can I say? Everything was perfect! The quality and abundance of the food, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, and the pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. If I had to give it a rating, it would be an A+! Marcella C.

14/11/2025: If you want to indulge yourself, go to Parmente in Casarano, you'll find it there.

20/09/2025: A wonderful experience. I loved everything about it and it fully met my expectations. The price of breakfast is commensurate with the quality of the ingredients and the deliciousness of the preparations. The service also deserves special mention. I highly recommend it.

06/09/2025: Ristorante Lilith is one of these place where you arrive and right away feel comfortable, the family owned restaurant just gives you the atmosphere of being at a friends place. The food is amazing and the same goes for the service. They‘re really friendly and professional. I definitely recommend to share as many dishes as possible so you can try more of these amazingly fresh plates where you taste every single ingredient.

10/01/2026: We ate typical Salento dishes. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous.

09/01/2026: We dined at this restaurant after a long journey from Lombardy. We were pleasantly surprised by the owners' kindness, who found us a table in just a few minutes even though we hadn't booked and the place was crowded. The atmosphere was simple, but the food was excellent and the staff were friendly. We ate delicious pieces of horse meat cooked in a pignatta sauce, accompanied by an unforgettable paparina. We highly recommend it. Francesco and Serena

05/01/2026: The food, service, and atmosphere are top-notch. Highly recommended!

04/01/2026: I Latini is a true gem in the heart of Lecce. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for both a quiet dinner and an evening with friends. The restaurant is meticulously designed, with a style that blends tradition and modernity, making you feel instantly at ease. The restaurant's strong point is undoubtedly the cuisine: dishes prepared with quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and thoughtful pairings. Each course is tasty and beautifully presented, with particular attention to local produce. The wine selection is also excellent, ideal for pairing with your meal. The staff is friendly, professional, and always available to offer advice, making the experience even more enjoyable. This restaurant is highly recommended for anyone who wants to savor the best of Lecce's cuisine, in a pleasant atmosphere and with impeccable service.

13/01/2026: The pizza is excellent, and they prepare it in two versions: crispy or with a Neapolitan-style crust. The staff is excellent. The price is perhaps a little high, but the final product justifies it. We'll definitely be back.

08/01/2026: Fun yummy piizza, with good vegan options for my mom.
