I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

24/12/2025: A unique experience, with a knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional staff. The dinner was sublime, starting with the appetizers, a treat for the palate, and continuing with the delicate yet persistent first course. The second courses were an explosion of flavors, both the lamb and the cooked veal. The inevitable dessert was a must... In short, you have to try it to understand. Compliments to the chef and his team.

09/12/2025: The location is very unique. The aperitif was served in a former quarry dug into the ground and later covered with a barrel vault. Dinner took place in the cellar, where enormous oak barrels, each holding 6-8,000 liters, are stored. The simple yet refined dinner was appropriate for the unique setting.

08/12/2025: Unique. After making my baby's baptism special in 2023 by impressing our guests, my birthday was equally special, this time with catering. The food arrived hot and perfectly arranged. We thought we'd ordered too little, but the guests were thrilled because there was truly an incredible amount of food and variety. Highly recommended. Infinite thanks to the owner, Antonio.

02/12/2025: Unforgettable experience made the wedding fantastic

25/09/2025: It's truly a quiet place, excellent home cooking with ingredients just like home, generous portions, impeccable service. The appetizer menu is varied, and the fried fish is excellent. Compliments to the chef; I'll definitely be back next summer.

17/09/2025: Small, homemade restaurant for a pleasant evening with friends, tasty local products, mussels au gratin and decent fried fish.

04/01/2026: A beautiful and meticulously maintained facility just steps from Otranto. The spa is well-designed and, in addition to the classic sauna, Turkish bath, and whirlpool, also features a Kneipp path and emotional shower. All this in a truly pleasant, relaxing, and immaculately clean environment. The various areas of the masseria are beautiful, from the charming internal courtyard to the pool surrounded by greenery. The restaurant is equally impressive, offering a refined and delicious menu. The staff deserves special mention: they are courteous and very helpful. I especially want to thank the receptionist, Valentina, who is very professional, kind, and attentive to the needs of her guests. I thank her for her suggestions and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend this facility!

04/01/2026: A flavorful experience that only Masseria Bandino can offer: moments of pleasure that pass from the palate to inner and spiritual well-being: it remains unique in every way.

07/09/2025: Discovered by chance, a true delight for the palate and the eyes, just steps from Piazza Sant'Onofrio. Excellent dishes, made with fresh ingredients, carefully prepared and plated. Impeccable service, in a refined setting. Highly recommended.

01/09/2025: Top location, every dish is a work of art. Highly recommended.

14/12/2025: Great place with amazing pizza! We really enjoyed our visit. The pizza was delicious fresh ingredients, perfect dough, and great flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to and recommend to friends.

01/11/2025: Great place, delicious pizza, exceptional service and location. Very affordable prices.

04/10/2025: Incredibly friendly and service-oriented staff, very keen to ensure we had a good experience. The food was very good, but on the more expensive side and (compared to other restaurants in the area) small portions. However, the taste was incredible, and outweighed the quantity of food.

18/09/2025: Excellent dinner! The veal ribs melted in your mouth, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The creamy scampi casseroles were simply extraordinary: delicate, creamy, unforgettable. The staff were extremely kind and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. A restaurant that leaves you smiling. Thank you so much!

12/01/2026: One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, and among pizzerias by the slice, it's the best!!! The flavors are different every time, although the Margherita remains my favorite. Luigi, the pizza chef, is truly EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!

09/01/2026: Spectacular pizzas, a wide selection including gourmet options. Warm welcome and exceptionally friendly service, atmospheric location with a stunning view. Highly recommended!

25/12/2025: Beautiful place, refined and delicate seafood cuisine. Attentive and friendly 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.

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.

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...
