I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

18/10/2025: Everything was great, except they don't have decaffeinated coffee.

16/10/2025: Great experience at Vera Tipica! Warm welcome, attentive service and delicious dishes made with fresh produce. 🌿 A truly traditional meal that I highly recommend!

23/09/2025: Informal restaurant, friendly staff, excellent dishes from appetizers to desserts, fair prices. The only negative note was the house wine offered that was not appreciated, which was pointed out immediately if bottled wine was provided. Definitely worth returning.

10/09/2025: The food was excellent, both in quality and preparation. The restaurant was beautiful, with a pleasant terrace and a large, convenient parking lot. The service was slow, and that's understandable. Unfortunately, we (a group of eight) were the victims of a mistake because, as we were candidly informed after a two-hour wait after eating our appetizer, our order had been lost. When we complained about the long delay, we were told, in an almost intimidating and arrogant manner, that it was Saturday night and it was fine if we waited. Then the cherry on top. The same person (acting like the owner, probably the owner) repeatedly yelled at us as we were walking to the parking lot, saying, "But you never make mistakes in your job." A terrible experience. What a shame.

07/11/2025: Honestly, I expected more. The food is good but not wow-worthy. The staff is smug. Not suitable for groups or people who speak loudly. Suitable for couples.

02/11/2025: We had lunch here, choosing the tasting menu. The food was truly good, especially the raw fish and the tagliolini with lemon, stracciatella, and shrimp tartare. As for the service, it didn't live up to the cuisine. One unpleasant incident: the waiter who served us the wine completely ignored the idea that a woman might understand anything about wine, showing the label and allowing only the man to taste the wine (a bit too sexist in 2025).

02/11/2025: A lovely restaurant offering an antipasti menu with several small appetizers. Ideal for two people to start with. The Pezzetti di cavallo was excellent, as was the fresh pasta with tomato sauce and ricotta. Simple service and good wine recommendations. We would have liked to see more smiles from our servers. Eating outside is a good option if the weather permits, as the street is quiet.

21/10/2025: Nice food, but the prices were a bit high for what they have offered.

09/11/2025: Vague memories of a lost identity

09/11/2025: My family and I had lunch at Gustavo's and were truly satisfied. The set menu was meticulously prepared, with every course beautifully presented, everything delicious and made with quality ingredients. The attention to special dietary needs was also excellent: there was a gluten-free version of the menu, with equally delicious alternatives. A restaurant where you eat well and are welcomed with kindness—we'll gladly return!

19/10/2025: A wonderful location surrounded by greenery, just a stone's throw from Gallipoli, a rustic establishment offering simple yet refined dishes. The quality of the food is excellent, from the appetizers to the first and second courses. The antipasto was rich and delicious, and the first courses were excellent. We opted for the meat course, which was delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful. We were very satisfied.

13/09/2025: We were thrilled with the cuisine, service, and location at Calamate. We stayed in Gallipoli for 12 days, and we ate there four times. It was undoubtedly the best dinners of the entire trip. The appetizer selection—the burratina, the homemade orecchiette, and the bombette (which we tried breaded and baked here)—were all exceptional, as were the grilled red tuna and the pasta with scampi. The ingredients are excellent, and the price, in my opinion, perfectly in line with what's on offer. If you're in Gallipoli, it's worth a visit!
