I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Lecce

26/01/2026: Visited out of season. Friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food.

12/01/2026: We had a wonderful meal at this cozy little restaurant. All the ingredients were top-quality, and special mention goes to the octopus alla pignata, which was truly exceptional.

07/01/2026: Excellent food. The atmosphere is lovely thanks to the elegant and welcoming setting.

27/12/2025: Overall, a positive experience: a bright dining room with a large fireplace that enhanced the atmosphere, making it welcoming. The menu was extensive and well-structured, especially the appetizers. We started with a rich selection of appetizers, but the first course was definitely the highlight: Sgonfiotti Cavour (ravioli stuffed with salmon and shrimp). Attentive service, a varied menu, and refined cuisine.

20/11/2025: The pasta was cold and hard for my taste.

09/11/2025: We had an amazing lunch here.. my wife had pasta and I ate a steak (not a favorite fan of seafood), and everything was delicious.. the city, the atmosphere, and this restaurant are all related.. great place, fair prices.. definitely worth it

17/01/2026: We ate here tonight. We had gratinated mussels, which arrived barely warm. The tagliolini with clams was completely unseasoned and tasted poorly. My companion had a rather disappointing raw ham and rather overcooked seafood pasta. The bill was 80 euros. A disappointment!!!

09/01/2026: Excellent food, very friendly staff, and a restaurant located in the most liveable area of ​​Gallipoli.

17/01/2026: The evening begins like this... I call and make a reservation for 9:30 PM for 4 people. They tell me over the phone that the wait is 5 minutes, which is just enough time for the table to be free. I arrive promptly and they tell me to wait 10 minutes. At 10:17 PM, I ask how much longer and they tell me to wait until the table is free since they had asked for the bill. After a long (and unwanted) wait, we manage to sit down at 10:23 PM. The place is nice, with seating near the sea. We order at 10:46 PM. The dishes arrive at 10:52 PM. Very fast service. Excellent sushi and excellent mixed seafood appetizer. We ordered a bottle of Chardonnay "Lama di Pietra" white wine, which was delicious, served in the right way and left in the seau à glace (which is not a given). The first courses arrive later: paccheri with monkfish and sagne with almonds, cherry tomatoes, and cod. A few pieces of monkfish were not... Skinless but not bothersome The first courses are also excellent The quantity of fish in the first courses was higher than expected, and therefore generous with the seasoning I would have added a few more paccheri Next came the fried foods The anelletti and shrimp were good For the mixed seafood, most of them were good Just a few were full of bones and difficult to remove We close with the sweet and sour dishes The sweet and sour dishes were good, and the amaro del capo was served chilled in a chilled glass. All in all, the place wasn't bad. The food was good, the price was fair, the service was fast but "cold" (not a bad thing, each waiter decides how to treat the customer), and the bill was reasonable, with bitters offered after checking the order. 4 stars because there's always room for improvement. Keep it up!

21/09/2025: A good restaurant with a magnificent view, prices a little high but hey you are in a very touristy area...I recommend it.

05/01/2026: Great experience, friendly staff, spacious and spotlessly clean rooms, and new furnishings. Top of the line.

18/12/2025: Good restaurant, a little expensive

11/01/2026: Entering Anima & Cuore means crossing the threshold of a place whose name embodies its most authentic promise: a cuisine that doesn't simply nourish, but also tells a story, welcomes, and restores its identity. Located in the heart of Galatina, in a historic building adorned with mosaics and a warm, refined atmosphere, this trattoria-restaurant has become a go-to place for those seeking contemporary Salento cuisine, respectful of tradition yet never lacking in creativity. The fresh pasta dishes—from spaghetti alla Grika to orecchiette with burnt wheat—show a confident hand, showcasing the raw ingredients without overpowering them. The wine list is extensive, with a keen eye on Apulian wineries and a selection of national and international wines that balance the seafood and meat dishes. The staff is attentive, quick, and friendly: a welcome that contributes to a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, unpretentious yet professional. The ambiance, with its indoor dining rooms and panoramic terraces, offers a different experience depending on the season: intimate in the winter, bright and airy in the summer. Prices are in line with the quality of the offerings.

04/01/2026: In the ancient heart of Galatina, where the stones whisper centuries-old stories beneath star-shaped vaults, stands Anima&Cuore: a name that isn't merely a label, but a whispered promise, a confirmation that becomes reality in every dish. The exquisite blend of the soul of Salento fuses with the heart of those who cook and those who serve, in an embrace of care that envelops you from the first smile upon entry to the final greeting. Every detail is a poem: the delicacy of the gestures, the attention to every detail, the quality of the flavors that dance on the palate like the notes of a revisited ancient taranta. I've dined twice at this enchanted refuge, and each time I've felt the region come to life in authentic, fresh creations, steeped in sea and land. Now all I have to do is try their pizzas, and if this is their calling card, my mouth is already watering. Anima & Cuore is not just a restaurant: it's an emotion to be experienced, shared, and recommended.

27/12/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance, without a reservation, one day during the Christmas holidays. We'd heard good things about it, and it deserved its reputation: we had excellent raw seafood (compliments to the accompanying sauces), a first course (tagliolini spunsale and anchovy colatura), a second course (sea bass with chard cream), and two desserts. Everything was delicious! It must be said: the price isn't cheap. The service was truly friendly, both to us and to our dog. I recommend it for a special occasion.

08/12/2025: Lots of Japan influence in the food. A nice interpretation of Italian fusion food.

23/12/2025: My boyfriend and I went to this little restaurant in September. Fantastic place! We spent a bit because we didn't want for anything, but the quality of the food and wine was worth every penny. The fish was incredibly fresh, and they recommended the right wine to pair with the dishes. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service! High quality, definitely recommended.

20/11/2025: Quiet location Excellent value for money Friendly and fast staff

18/01/2026: I was truly satisfied with this amazing Sunday lunch! I loved everything, from the hot appetizer to the fresh red prawns from Gallipoli, from the very special first courses to the dessert. Highly recommended.

02/01/2026: Water and bread were served immediately. Then they spent over half an hour trying to order food. Eventually, we gave up.

14/10/2025: This restaurant always serves the freshest seafood, prepared with passion by Chef Tiziano. Lunch here is a fantastic experience. The service and attention to detail are top-notch.

01/10/2025: We ate there for two evenings, very fresh fish cooked by those who know how to handle the ingredients well. Stopping here is a must if you want to eat well.

17/01/2026: Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to expectations. The service was unprofessional, and the staff didn't seem to be at ease; they were clearly busy and disinterested. As for the food, the dishes were disappointing, and the mussels in particular were rubbery and flavorless, which completely ruined the experience. What a shame!

07/01/2026: I love everything about this restaurant, and whenever I pass through Castro, I can't help but stop in. In winter, the experience is even more enjoyable, because there are fewer people and the staff, always kind and welcoming, enjoys the more relaxed pace. The two sisters who own it are perfect hosts and make their guests feel at home. We last stopped by between New Year's Eve and Epiphany and enjoyed risotto, seafood spaghetti, and burnt wheat macaroni. This was followed by a generous grilled fish platter, excellently cooked and carefully selected, and a delicious and flavorful mussel and clam stew. We finished with fragrant citrus sorbets. Needless to say, the view from the terrace, directly overlooking the marina, is enchanting!

31/12/2025: Prompt, polite service. Friendly, excellent seafood meal.

26/12/2025: An osteria in the historic center of Gallipoli. The atmosphere is very cozy, intimate, yet surprisingly impressive. I went with my family for Christmas lunch. The staff was courteous and helpful. A selection of delicious seafood appetizers, and quality first and second courses. Top. I recommend.

26/12/2025: A guaranteed family lunch, we had a wonderful time. The waiters were very kind and professional, and at the end of the meal, the hostess offered us coffee and liqueurs to wish us a Merry Christmas. I'll be back for Epiphany.

25/12/2025: The food was pretty inedible: overcooked pasta with no flavor other than boiled meat. The same went for the second course, dry pandoro. They brought the full plates back to the kitchen without even apologizing or bothering to understand why, given the rather uneconomical bill. Loveless cooking, zero attention to detail.

07/12/2025: Excellent and welcoming restaurant. The staff is super friendly and the food excellent; we tried the pizzas and they were really good. The atmosphere is beautiful, both inside—warm and well-decorated—and outside, with an entrance featuring decorated columns (we went during the Christmas season).

22/11/2025: The pizza is very good, the appetizers are tasty and delicious, highly recommended.
