I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

22/09/2025: We tried this place and were pleasantly surprised. The kindness of the staff and owner is evident from the moment you sit down. We had already planned on trying the horse meat, and since we're from Abruzzo, we were pleasantly surprised when they offered us an off-menu dish of horse fillet skewers. They were excellent, incredibly flavorful, and perfectly paired with the traditional mutton skewers. Then we went for the chicory puree and the classic bombette. What can we say? We left feeling truly satisfied and chatted with the owner. Overall, we highly recommend it, especially since it's family-run. We'll see you again next year.

21/09/2025: Everything was delicious! Family-run restaurant, friendly staff, very helpful in explaining all the dishes and recommending the perfect pairings. Abundant food of excellent quality!

03/09/2025: Positive experience, good food, and flawless service. It would be even nicer if all the tables were set out in the garden, surrounded by greenery, with softer, more diffused lighting instead of the current "stadium lights" 😂😂. With that added touch of charm, the atmosphere would be truly perfect. All in all, a lovely evening.

28/09/2025: One of our favourite dinners from our trip! Charming outdoor seating, very romantic. The staff were friendly and funny, fast service although it was busy. The food was delicious. I had the red lobster linguine (there’s an option of red lobster and just lobster and the staff recommended the red lobster to me as it’s local) - and it was delicious! My partner had the spaghetti with squid ink which was also lovely. We finished with the tiramisu although the other dessert looked gorgeous, but we didn’t have enough space left!

04/10/2025: Spectacular as always. The best.

08/06/2025: We stayed at the Masseria for a week. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Giulia and Ferdinando are warm and attentive hosts. The room was clean and quiet. A highlight was the food. The breakfast was delicious; nothing was missing. We also ate dinner there every day. It was delicious and always fresh and locally sourced. A wonderful stay! Highly recommended.

04/05/2025: È appena terminato il nostro soggiorno alla Masseria Lacco e non posso non recensire più che positivamente la nostra breve vacanza ospiti di questa fantastica Masseria. La location, il cibo, l'accoglienza sempre gioiosa dei proprietari e, soprattutto, il grande amore per gli animali. Una menzione a parte merita il gustosissimo pasticciotto della signora Giulia! Noi ci siamo sentiti come a casa. Da tornare assolutamente e da consigliare a chi vuole passare una vacanza da ricordare.

03/10/2025: A great evening at Verdi Experience! Fresh fish, carefully prepared and incredibly tasty dishes, extremely friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Excellent value. Highly recommended for those who love well-made sushi 🙌

30/09/2025: An elegant and refined restaurant, with a relaxing atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness. The sushi is simply exceptional: incredibly fresh fish and balanced rice. Each dish is presented with care and flair. The waiters are friendly, prompt, and always smiling, ready to satisfy every request. A complete experience that combines quality, courtesy, and beauty: a well-deserved five stars!

21/09/2025: A good restaurant with a magnificent view, prices a little high but hey you are in a very touristy area...I recommend it.

20/09/2025: Pampered by the food and the waves #giusyerricotouristguide

23/08/2025: Beautiful location in a typical Salento square. Friendly but distracted staff. Excellent and well-paired appetizers. The first courses were disappointing. The spaghetti with sea urchin was completely tasteless. The menu was very varied but the prices were too Milanese. The Gallipoli pink prawns were 9 euros each. At first, we thought it was the main course, but when we asked how many pieces were included, we were told 9 euros each (I understand that the price depends on availability, but it would have been better to recommend something else). The idea is that of a Salento-style tourist trap. It's a shame, because the foundation is there to do better.

16/08/2025: Enchanting location, dining in a wonderful and characteristic Salento square. The wait staff is highly competent and the kitchen service is very fast. I would have expected to spend more for two people, but instead it was €93 for one appetizer, two first courses, and one second course, with one bottle of wine worth €20. It all depends on what you eat and, above all, what you drink. Overall, a super positive experience.

16/08/2025: Decent service, fresh fish but very overcooked and salty pasta

15/08/2025: They serve good pizza with high-quality ingredients. The spacious wood-fired oven allows for many pizzas to be baked at once, so service is quick.
