I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lecce

11/09/2025: Delicious food and delicious local beers! We'll be back!

01/09/2025: Really good and friendly service. Amazing food, really good prices even adding a bottle of wine.

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!

02/11/2025: I was there yesterday with my wife. We found a dirty room. At first, they gave us a small table that was completely wobbly. I lifted the tablecloth and found cardboard boxes to hold it down, and a hundred feet on the tablecloth. The seafood appetizer was poor quality, with dirty au gratin mussels still with the rope from the remover attached. When we presented it to the waiter, we explained that they were expensive, so perhaps the manpower to clean them was reduced to keep costs down. The fried calamari was of terrible quality, which you can find much better in a street food shop. The service was approximate. Finally, the bill was disproportionate for what we ate and the quality served. They even charged us for a beer that we didn't even consume. A final point: we weren't given a menu to choose from. In short, it's not an à la carte restaurant, but a self-service restaurant in an industrial area.

22/10/2025: What is this restaurant? I wrote on their website to make a reservation: no response. I go: door open, lights on: they tell me it's closed. How absurd!

25/10/2025: Belami in Maglie was a major disappointment. The “catch of the day” was clearly old and smelled off, left by our table in hopes we’d choose one of those fish. We declined and decided to order an à la carte seafood pasta instead, asking if it could be cooked without wine due to dietary requirements. The waiter said the only option without wine was the Chianina ragù, as all other pasta dishes were already pre-mixed, unless we chose one of the smelly fish of the day. If the food were freshly prepared, the chef could have easily made a seafood pasta from the menu without wine. Most dishes seemed pre-cooked or frozen. I honestly don’t understand how this place can be mentioned in the Michelin guide. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but in this case, it was necessary.

28/08/2025: Belami Maglie is a true gastronomic gem in Salento. Under the guidance of the talented chef Tiziano Margarito, each dish becomes a memorable experience: the combination of creativity, refinement and respect for local ingredients is felt in every detail. The elegant atmosphere, impeccable service and wine selection perfectly complete the culinary journey. A place where passion and professionalism meet – certainly a restaurant that has all the assets to be a candidate for a Michelin star.

25/10/2025: One of the best experiences in Salento: authentic food, super fresh fish, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll become regulars!

18/10/2025: Probably the best panna cotta I’ll ever eat in my life, the consistency and flavour was amazing. Our sweet and helpful server Manuella said she’s the one who makes all the desserts herself - compliments ! The meals, decorations and atmosphere were homey and authentic-feeling — overall a very lovely dinner.

15/08/2025: Dinner with the family. We didn't use the rooms. As for the food, you have to like their vegan approach. For me (a carnivore), the appetizer was excellent, the first course was perhaps a bit too heavy, and the dessert was delicious. We didn't order the second course because we were too full. What's striking, however, is the tranquility of the place, a true oasis of peace just steps from the road. Add to that a lovely welcome from Francesca, and you've got a truly relaxing evening.

05/05/2025: Eating at Piccapane is a unique experience: a family environment surrounded by greenery where you can enjoy excellent vegan dishes prepared with attention and love. This was the feeling we felt yesterday at lunch, from the welcome from the very kind staff to the tasting of the dishes, in the choice of which we were carefully guided. The food is incredible, a joy of simple flavors with refined combinations. There is also a small shop where you can purchase their products. Finding an entirely vegan restaurant in Salento was a dream until recently. Piccapane is truly a virtuous example, spokesperson for a change that we hope will spread more and more. (access is also allowed to animals ❤️)

31/08/2025: Excellent and plentiful appetizers Pizza by the meter is a great idea, but they should also offer a traditional round pizza (they only make it for those with food intolerances). Slow service, about an hour before taking the order.

07/09/2025: Great restaurant, superb food, a unique atmosphere, and truly friendly and competent staff. You can tell the business is family-run.

05/09/2025: I'm giving one star because it's the minimum I can give, otherwise I'd give less. We waited 30 minutes for a bucket of ice that arrived melted, the wine was lukewarm, the liqueur was hot, and we also had long waits for the dishes. The quality of the food was mediocre and has even gotten worse since the last time we came. Never again.

17/07/2025: Slow and incorrect cooking of baked meat and potatoes that were actually boiled

06/04/2025: I tried the Mexico tour, I wasn't able to finish it because everything was too plentiful. We need to reduce the quantities on the plates. Helpful and trained staff Very long service between one course and another, it becomes unnerving. The garden is beautiful. Honest account.

24/09/2025: Excellent meal, with fresh produce and authentic cuisine, far from the tourist traps, I highly recommend it if you want to treat yourself! Adorable waiter!

24/09/2025: A very beautiful location, very simple food, but my god it's good!!! and the server is very nice, I recommend it with my eyes closed.

12/10/2025: 4 cheese pizza 🍕 the dough is not bad but the toppings are terrible.

29/09/2025: Excellent restaurant, impeccable service, quality, fair price, worth returning

14/10/2025: Perfect early start at 6:30 with delicious warm sweet pastries and coffee.

17/09/2025: We were there for a short break and had ice cream, which was really good; the staff were very kind. Two days later, early in the morning because it was time to leave, we had breakfast there, and the cappuccino and pasticciotto were excellent. I recommend it...

10/11/2025: The fish was incredibly fresh and deliciously prepared, the wine was heavenly, and the service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you. We'll be back!

12/10/2025: I stayed at this property and it was a horrible experience. A room that should simply be closed forever. Damp, black walls, cockroaches, rusty bathroom fixtures—it's a disgrace to rent a room like that. When I complained to reception, they couldn't change my room because everything was full, and other properties either didn't have room or the prices were exorbitant. We didn't sleep the entire night, waiting for daylight to break and escape. The room was booked on Booking.com, which described it as completely different. If you've booked or are planning to book this hotel, don't get room 12, the room of horrors.

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.

06/10/2025: Good cuisine with seafood. The wine and desserts were good choices.

24/09/2025: Bad service , Price Quality also bad
