I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

04/04/2026: Unfortunately, we were very disappointed! The staff (perhaps even the owners) were unprofessional and inattentive, to the point that we didn't have water glasses for everyone and we waited perhaps 15 minutes with dirty plates on the table between courses. The fish appetizers were decidedly not fresh, and the first courses were very oily and the fish wasn't fresh. Thank goodness for the view, which was truly stunning. The restaurant itself isn't worth it.

08/03/2026: Excellent seafood. The local red fish stuffed with tomatoes, olives and potatoes was amazing. Also the shellfish soup was a garlicky and buttery treat. The timing of all the courses was perfect. 2 1/2 hrs of leisurely goodness.

13/04/2026: Amazing service and food! The hosts were extremely nice and welcoming, and for the food we split about 7 dishes between the 4 of us, all of them amazing. Highly recommended :)

13/04/2026: Very friendly staff. Food is good but maybe not great. But good food in Italy, that means awesome

07/05/2026: I went to this restaurant with a group of colleagues. The food was excellent and refined, with seafood and meat dishes presented with imagination and originality. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it.

07/05/2026: An amazing appetizer: traditional and innovative at the same time

23/03/2026: Dinner last Saturday with friends. I was a little worried because I had recommended this restaurant, but instead I was inundated with compliments for the excellent choice. We chose a Margherita pizza as an appetizer (light, very digestible, superb, so good that some of us wanted more pizza at the end), followed by two specials of the day (a risotto and my farro tagliatelle with purple shrimp, truffle, and lime... DELICIOUS), pezzetti al pomodoro, a tagliata, and two more tagliatelle. We had bought the Cupeta (since it was a holiday in Giurdignano), and the hostess let us enjoy it at the table, very kindly. Of course, my friends ordered grappa. Excellent value for money. Quick service, friendly and helpful dining room staff. In short, I highly recommend it. Mrs. Morelli from Maglie.

18/03/2026: We went to Osteria degli Amici in Giurdignano. The atmosphere is simple, welcoming, and authentic, just as you'd expect from a true local osteria. We tried the cavatelli with beans and mussels: a truly exceptional dish, rich in flavor, well-balanced, and above all, filling. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in their preparation. The fava beans and chicory were also excellent, prepared to perfection, in full respect of tradition. We also had a pizza, which was very good, well-cooked, and tasty. The service was friendly and helpful, making us feel immediately at ease. Overall, a very positive experience: excellent food, generous portions, and a family atmosphere. Exceptional price. Definitely a place to return to and one I recommend to anyone who wants to eat well and savor local cuisine.

03/05/2026: I was pleasantly impressed by the place, which features a large olive oil press in the dining room and other traditional dishes. The food is homemade and excellent, the service is fast, and Sandro's friendliness is priceless. I'll definitely be back. TOP

19/04/2026: Truly typical products.... REALLY Salento flavors.... I'm amazed by their pittule..... Polite and friendly staff, very helpful. Alessandro, an exceptional host.

10/07/2025: Ritornato a cenare in questo bellissimo ristorante e fa piacere ritrovare tutto come sempre nonostante il cambio di nome. Ottimi piatti della tradizione salentina e servizio efficiente e gentile Prezzi in linea con qualità e ambiente

25/06/2025: Un locale stupendo, abbiamo mangiato all’esterno all’interno del cortile in un ambiente romantico e molto rilassante . Il menù offriva l’imbarazzo della scelta ma non potendo mangiare tutto 🤣 abbiamo optato per l’antipasto misto Casa Martino e due primi , Orecchietta Arrapata e "Minchiareddhro" del Marinaio. Buonissimo , ne siamo rimasta davvero contenti . In ragazzi in sala carini , gentili e molto disponibili .

10/04/2026: I had booked Bacaro & Zio for my birthday based on the reviews. Sadly, this restaurant disappointed in every aspect except one. The service was inattentive and disengaged throughout my whole birthday dinner with the gratuity bread not given to us and we had to ask for the basics (salt and pepper) with eyes being rolled at our request. In terms of the food, the highlight was the homemade French fries which were perfectly salted and delicious. My salmon was overcooked and dry and wasn’t served with lemon (and this was obvious when the lady next to me received massive lemon wedges). Dessert became the incredible gelato a short 3minute walk away. Thankfully we decided to celebrate my birthday the following night and the restaurant (also booked on The Fork) was incredible and received a 10/10.

10/04/2026: A disappointing restaurant of truly low quality, with our fish dishes dry and missing key ingredients, and no bread served. The wine we selected was unavailable, and we were advised to double the price. The service was non-existent. This place is not worth a visit, and not recommended due to the poor quality of the food we received.

13/04/2026: We had two coffees and were charged two euros for service. It's the first time in my life I've been charged table service just for sitting down to drink a coffee. And we didn't even get the cheapest one. And, truth be told, it gets worse: on the menu, table service costs 50 cents. The owner's indignant expression (because we weren't tourists and dared to take a table in his bar) when he asked us to pay spoke volumes; he let off steam by charging us double the cover charge. Apparently, he hasn't learned how to treat locals.

12/04/2026: An excellent bar well located on the street and after a walk or shopping in the nearby shops the right place to stop

03/05/2026: Extremely friendly and specialized staff and delicious wines!

29/04/2026: I only had the hotel breakfast. Good pastries.

09/01/2026: We were there in February. Great atmosphere, fantastic vibe, and amazing food. The price was perfectly reasonable for the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back.

06/01/2026: Food was great, staff were friendly (some even speak English), and the atmosphere was very cozy and relaxed.

12/04/2026: We had a fish-based lunch. Everything was very good.

03/03/2026: Excellent food Excellent service Refined location

09/04/2026: The food was delicious and served quickly. The only downside was that the protrusions in the tables were a bit uncomfortable when sitting.

05/04/2026: Best experience in Lecce! Very nice food, I reccomand!

12/04/2026: We were there this evening with friends, we ate an excellent pizza, compliments to the staff, all kind and professional.

05/04/2026: A very peaceful Easter lunch, a very refined atmosphere, excellent service, and an exquisite menu! Galatina is truly a little place to discover, just like this restaurant. We'll definitely be back. 🐣

18/10/2025: Fantastic dinner. We had the full Italian dining experience: appetiser, primi, secondi, and dessert. The wine was fantastic; the pasta and fish courses were perfect and the tiramisu was the best we had in Italy.

30/09/2025: Dream place, it looks fake because of how beautiful it is!!! Just look at the photos!
