14/08/2025: The farmhouse is beautiful, as is the pool. Few amenities, and cleanliness could be improved. Excellent location.

12/08/2025: We stayed here for 6 days. It's a quiet and private place in a typical Salento farmhouse. The room was comfortable and cozy, the pool was just steps away, and it was well-kept and not crowded. Convenient on-site parking was available. The location was perfect as a base for a tour of Salento. Thank you, Carlo, for your support and availability.

13/03/2026: If two people go to eat, you expect to eat together. But no, two first courses, served 10 minutes apart! I'm not in the habit of criticizing, but the service needs to improve. Furthermore, the dishes shouldn't even be served by a 7-8 year old, I presume the owners' son!

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

24/02/2026: Hi, I'll start by saying that I intend to return because I basically liked it and would like to know if it's just an isolated incident. We had a fried meatball appetizer and, on the recommendation of the waiter—who I might add was very good—long potato croquettes they call panzerotti, which were very good. A portion of fried potatoes could have been cooked a little more, but they were good. The Negramaro rosé wine in a carafe was very good, but I'm usually wary of bulk wines. The sore point is the meat. We had two steaks, one chicken and one beef. When ordering, we joked with the waiter, saying, "Well done!"—obviously, that shouldn't even be said about the chicken steak. The result was a chicken steak with some raw pieces. The beef steak was well done, but it wasn't beef steak, but beef strips with arugula and parmesan. The meat was also a bit calloused, so not suitable for a steak. We didn't say anything; we didn't want to argue. The prices are good, average. I repeat, I want to go back to eat those panzerotti again and try the meat again. The service was perfect and very fast, too; I honestly wasn't expecting that given how many people there were. It's a nice place, maybe a little noisy, but that's okay; it's not huge. I'll be back.

08/02/2026: We've been there several times for both lunch and dinner. What can I say? Everything was excellent. The staff was very friendly, kind, and professional. I highly recommend it. Thank you for everything.

04/09/2025: The place has a sea view and is of excellent quality. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly.

03/09/2025: Clean environment, very helpful and kind service, well-prepared and abundant dishes, quality and price on par, highly recommended to try

11/11/2025: A fantastic experience for San Martino! 💫 I went to this restaurant to celebrate San Martino, and I must say it was a truly special experience! The food is all typically Salento, prepared with genuine ingredients and with that authentic flavor that makes you feel at home. From appetizers to desserts, every dish was carefully prepared, rich and plentiful, a true celebration of flavors and tradition. The local wines were also excellent, perfect to accompany the dishes. A special thanks to Antonio, the owner, always welcoming, kind, and attentive, and to Timo, the chef, whose skill brings the soul of Salento cuisine to the table. A warm and convivial place, ideal for an evening with friends or family. Highly recommended for those who want an authentic experience and enjoy true Salento cuisine, characterized by abundance, quality, and conviviality! 🍷🍇✨

05/11/2025: Last week, I went to dinner with some friends. It's hard for me to return to this place. The welcome was very pleasant and different from usual. The new autumn pizza was the best (cream of pumpkin, scamorza, and pancetta, delicate and crispy dough with red cabbage) along with the cabbage salad as an entree, really not bad. Once we were seated and chose our beverage (the wine selection is very respectable, even though I rarely toast anymore), the classic pittule to break the wait for the main courses: ravioli del plin with stew, fish in a salt crust, pecorino cheese with tomato sauce, seasonal vegetables cooked in every way. Dessert and coffee to finish. Everything was sooooo good. The bill was very fair. The staff was friendly. Thank you, and see you next time. PS: I'm not attaching photos of the dishes because my hands and cutlery were busy with the courses and, if necessary, sharing the dishes. 😋😋😋

29/07/2025: Siamo stati in questo ristorante a cena con tutta la famiglia. È stata una meravigliosa scoperta. I camerieri gentilissimi e simpatici ci hanno accolti con limonata fresca. Dopo un gustoso amuse bouche, abbiamo gustato diversi piatti a base di pesce tutti abbondanti e ricercati. Ci ha sorpreso la quantità di pesce fresco presente in tutte le portate. Dall' antipasto al dolce è stata un' esperienza culinaria memorabile.

25/07/2025: Ieri, io e mia moglie, siamo andati a cenare, in codesto rinomato ristorante. Abbiamo ordinato due fritture Senza spine, 19,00 euro cadauno due contorni, uno di patate e l'altro misto di broccoli carciofi carote ecc. Un'acqua minerale naturale e un calice di vino rosato. Le fritture 19,00 euro cadauno, nella norma, senza infamia e Senza lode, il vino non particolare 7,00 un calice, acqua panna 3,00. Coperto 6,00. I contorni, rifiutati in quanto non mangiabili, pertanto la signora alla cassa , ha avuto l'onestà di non conteggiarli. Costo finale 54,00. Delusione, in base alle recensioni, ci saremmo aspettati altro. Peccato,forse era una serata storta, oppure ognuno ha il proprio livello.

12/01/2026: We had lunch on New Year's Day, sitting down at 1:30 PM and being served at 3 PM. The food didn't live up to expectations; in fact, it was quite poor. We were very disappointed.

23/12/2025: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An authentic experience in the heart of Lecce We dined at Locanda Arcu te Pratu and the experience exceeded our expectations. The setting beneath the historic arch is very evocative and creates a truly special atmosphere. The cuisine is authentic, prepared with quality ingredients and well-balanced in flavor. The service is professional, friendly, and attentive, while the good selection of wines perfectly complements the experience. A restaurant recommended for those seeking quality, tradition, and a characteristic setting in Lecce. We will definitely return.
