I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

07/09/2025: I must have been unlucky, but I didn't find all the excellence of this place. Fried Salento dishes were tasteless and soaked in oil, the house wine was warm, the spaghetti with almost seafood was unpresentable, floating in a green broth (I would have sent them back, but my husband didn't want it), the fresh pasta with passable sheep's milk sauce was overcooked. The heat was stifling; what can I say? It's been a while since I've had such a bad experience.

06/09/2025: In a historic village, a highly respected restaurant. High quality and local specialties. Spacious dining room with a terrace overlooking the valley. Prices match the quality.

05/07/2025: "If you remain silent while eating, it means it's good" Modern place, well-kept and clean environments. Alessandro and all his staff are formidable. The menu offers local products and very fresh fish. Good wine list. Original and expertly studied combinations. We appreciated the purple shrimp tartare with its sauces, the burrata, the fresh pasta filled with grouper and roasted cherry tomatoes, then arriving at the grilled shrimp and scampi, finishing with a decidedly sublime chocolate, rum and orange dessert. We left with a smile after dinner and with a wonderful memory to take home. Retro Gusto ABSOLUTELY recommended! Thanks Alessandro, Marco and Silvia (Milan)

03/07/2025: Everything EXCELLENT THE BEST RESTAURANT IN OTRANTO

14/07/2025: Da tanti anni che andiamo in questo ristorante e ci siamo trovati sempre bene,ma questa sera ci siamo ricreduti.Abbiamo ordinato antipasto mare e terra che doveva essere x due persone ma da come ci è stato presentato non bastava nemmeno x mezza persona ( es. Un pezzetto di polipo di 3 cm può mai bastare x due? e così altre pietanze tutto minimal) .per non parlare poi della frittura di calamari presentata in piccoli pezzettini ( x farvi capire dei mini calamaretti che non sono indicati x la frittura duri e senza sapore).Chiediamo spiegazione al cameriere il quale va in cucina dallo chef per avere una risposta, ma non lo vediamo più. Chiediamo ad un'altra cameriera più esperta che ci delucita sul fatto che loro usano i calamari di piccola taglia in cucina e ci vuole rifare un'altra porzione di frittura ma noi rifiutiamo. Dopo per compensare ci offre un amaro che accetto volentieri. Vado a pagare il conto e mi ritrovo a pagare anche l'amaro . Insomma una vera amara serata.

14/07/2025: Siamo stati davvero molto bene! Il servizio è stato puntuale nel rispettare l'orario della prenotazione e soprattutto molto attento nel far mangiare le bambine per prime e insieme, anche se avevano ordinato piatti differenti gesto da noi genitori molto apprezzato. Il misto fritto era davvero buono e leggero. Ottima anche la pizza, anche se personalmente l’avrei preferita un po’ più sottile ma resta comunque ben fatta e digeribile. I dolci sono una vera chicca, consiglio vivamente la millefoglie e il tiramisù, entrambi davvero deliziosi. Servizio gentile, attento e impeccabile. Una serata piacevole Consigliato

02/10/2025: Thank you for the wonderful dinner on October 1st...it's us...the seven members of the CAI Varese walking the Salento trail. Excellent appetizer and excellent spaghetti...excellent value. A great way to get going!! ...thanks for the historical and entertaining explanations!!!

28/09/2025: The staff is efficient, friendly, and professional. The food is excellent and carefully prepared. We ate excellent fish, generous portions, and you can feel the passion in what they do. They exude a love for their local area.

13/09/2025: Very nice place, clean, very welcoming

23/08/2025: The rooms lack a little modernity but they are very very very clean. For everything else, nothing to say, it's perfect. The team is very friendly and helpful. If you like peace and quiet and have a car, it's the ideal place to spend a pleasant stay, whether you are a couple (like us) or with children and/or pets, it's very secure. Thank you to the staff for their kindness

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 .

23/07/2025: Un posto davvero bello , cibo di qualità e abbondante con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo . Per chi vuole variare nella zona super consigliato

22/07/2025: Siamo stati in questo agriturismo in una bella e fresca serata di luglio. L’atmosfera è molto accogliente, si respira sotto i pergolati una gran bell’aria. Ci ho ottimi, consiglio gli antipasti da condividere , abbondanti e buonissimi. Carne buona, anche se io ho preso un polpo con purea di fave e cicorie….da leccarsi i baffi. Tutto ottimo soprattutto il conto. Eravamo in tanti, tutti rimasti soddisfatti. Torneremo sicuramente

02/09/2025: I stayed with my family from August 20th to 27th. A simply wonderful, fantastic location, super quiet and well-maintained in every aspect. Absolutely excellent location for nearby Otranto and the nearby beaches of Salento. Giusy and Giuseppe, like all the staff, are exceptional people, always present and available. They make you feel at ease from the first moment. It's hard to find a flaw. The pool is superb, the rooms are spacious and always clean... breakfast, well, what can I say? Their products are top-quality. Wonderful holiday. We will return, but in a few days. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

19/08/2025: Superb location! Superbly maintained park! Impeccable cleanliness Great breakfast! Great pool! Super convenient pool bar! Small downside: the swimming caps! Anything else to say... We'll be back!

27/09/2025: They really should train their staff. Terrible customer service. They lack the attitude and tact with customers, and they take a long time to process orders. IN SHORT, POOR ORGANIZATION AND SERVICE.

25/09/2025: The restaurant makes a solid impression at first glance, but the service unfortunately left a lot to be desired. While the staff was polite and friendly, they weren't particularly attentive overall. You sometimes had to wait minutes before making eye contact with the waiter, which made the experience a bit tedious. I would simply like a bit more presence and attention here. The appetizer, octopus, was beautifully presented, as can be seen in the pictures, and promised a special taste experience. Unfortunately, the octopus was extremely tough and therefore barely edible – a huge disappointment, especially for such an attractively presented dish. The main course was also disappointing. My burger was very weak in flavor. A single lettuce leaf, an egg – and that was essentially it. Sauce? None. They only served a BBQ sauce on the side, which didn't match the burger at all and detracted from the overall flavor rather than complementing it. My wife's pasta was okay, but only partially satisfactory for €20. For this price, we would have expected significantly more – both in terms of taste and overall composition. The bottom line: A lovely ambiance and appealing presentation of the dishes – but unfortunately, the food was poor and the service still had room for improvement. Overall, it wasn't an experience we'd want to repeat.

03/09/2025: Beautiful, well-kept restaurant, excellent food, and wonderful staff. I highly recommend anyone in the area to visit.

02/09/2025: We had dinner in a quiet place. Homemade dishes like they used to be, with authentic flavors. We also bought 1 liter of their own extra virgin olive oil for its goodness.

11/09/2025: The owner pretends to be friendly, it's a typical foreign tourist spot, the fish is frozen, I don't recommend the appetizer recommended by the owner or the waiters; for me, it's an insult to Italian and Salento cuisine, and Neapolitan neomelodic music is played throughout the meal. The owner slammed me for not being a football fan. Absolutely not recommended.

03/09/2025: Gorgeous location, fantastic staff, and home-cooked monkfish tubes. The Zeus family will gladly return.

13/09/2025: We ordered two pizzas, and they were quick to prepare, even though it was Saturday night. The pizzas were cooked perfectly, the dough melts in your mouth, light and airy around the edges. I asked for advice on a pizza, wanting to try something different. They suggested the "DELIZIOSA" pizza, which includes plenty of stracciatella, prosciutto, walnuts, olive oil, and basil. What can I say? Truly delicious, we were extremely satisfied. Kindness and courtesy accompany the deliveries.

22/08/2025: The best pizza in Puglia!! 🤩 We tried the Diavola and the Romagnola, and both were incredible. Fast and very friendly service! 100% recommended.

22/07/2025: Cena tipica immersi nella pace. Sono in gravidanza ed il personale è stato estremamente gentile e attento. Servizio eccellente e molto veloce. Consiglio l’antipasto misto, il purè di fave e ottima anche la carne. Bellissima esperienza

18/07/2025: Agriturismo salentino con piatti tipici locali ben preparati. Dall'antipasto al dolce. A Veglie, poco distante da porto Cesareo.

27/08/2025: Poor quality food, precooked and overpriced appetizers. Unfriendly service.

27/08/2025: A very good experience with typical and really good dishes! Good value for money! Thanks to the very pleasant service, given our limited Italian skills 😅 Thanks again. I recommend this restaurant, well-located in a pleasant little town 😊

16/09/2025: Very good pizzas and a great welcome!

01/09/2025: The puccia I ate was good. Service was good. Price and quality weren't bad.
