I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

23/11/2025: Invited for a birthday celebration Clean, well-organized venue, friendly staff, quick service, and beautifully plated dishes made with quality ingredients. The only downside was the first course, which wasn't brought pre-plated; instead, the waiter passed by with a spoon, pouring two ladles for each guest. Try it and believe it.

10/11/2025: The restaurant is large but a little dated. The food is not bad even if it is very simple.

29/11/2025: An unforgettable culinary experience at this family-run restaurant! We found the typical Salento dishes authentic and incredibly flavorful, taking us on a journey of taste. But the real surprise was the meat: top-quality, tender, and cooked to perfection! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the family-style service is impeccable and warm. Special praise to the owners for their hospitality and the passion they convey. Highly recommended for those seeking the authentic flavors of Salento and excellent meat. We'll be back very soon! ❤️ Elsa Maruccia

10/08/2025: The meat quality is excellent but it is served cold...

28/11/2025: Are you home sick? This will bring you back memories , the place you left to travel abroad. The food and services are excellent , friendly and helpful.

23/11/2025: You should keep it cleaner...inside and out...but especially outside! Right in the city center, that passageway is so dirty!

02/05/2025: When creativity meets the glass, aperitifs are born that seem like small journeys. Heartfelt thanks to those who know how to listen to tastes, moods and desires and transform them into tailor-made drinks. Because sometimes a well-thought-out sip is enough to feel better. Thanks, see you soon.

29/04/2025: Strategic place to, let's say, sit down and eat something. Just enough aperitif... but very high cost, I will hardly go back.

17/11/2025: Evening ruined by a bartender who was nothing short of indecent. Let's just say he'd be better off changing professions.

13/10/2025: Good morning, I celebrated my 30th birthday and chose Ilex, and I'm super happy. Bruno, the owner, was impeccable, patient, and very helpful in satisfying me with every detail. The room was beautiful and very spacious. Thank you for making my 30th birthday perfect, thanks again.

08/08/2025: Ottimo ristorante,consigliatissimo! Abbiamo mangiato pesce delizioso. Location molto bella e personale gentilissimo e professionale. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

04/08/2025: Ottimi sauté e insalata di mare, pizza ben lievitata e ben cotta, tutto ok. Servizio come d'abitudine, veloce e cordiale. Location elegante fronte mare.

26/06/2025: Piccola trattoria come non ne esistono (quasi) più. Cucina… dipende da come se la cava ai fornelli vostra zia (o madre o nonna o voi stessi): se se la cavano bene andate piuttosto da loro. Se invece cercate soprattutto “colore” di un tempo che fu… è quello che troverete qui.

23/06/2025: Wohnzimmeratmosphäre. Richtig gute Hausmannskost. Nette „zie“. Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Unbedingt reservieren. Sehr zu empfehlen👍

29/08/2025: Very fresh and excellent quality fish, divinely cooked, impeccable welcome and service, very honest price, we will return

28/08/2025: Excellent restaurant with a seafront terrace, fast service, and good food. We found a table without a reservation. I highly recommend it; the price is in line with the quality.

06/09/2025: Good foundations, but there's a lot to do. Lured by the good marketing, we traveled over 30km to get to this place. Everything was average, nothing exceptional. So much more could be done! I'll be back next year.

02/09/2025: Beautiful atmosphere, delicious baked goods, and very kind staff. Thank you so much.

29/10/2025: Takeout pizzas, previously ordered, were ready more than an hour late. The dough wasn't kneaded properly, and my pizza was missing an ingredient.

29/08/2025: The food was excellent. The pasta with tomato sauce and polpette were simply delicious and fresh. We followed it with fried fish, which was absolutely divine. The service was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

25/05/2025: Pizzas arrived after 1 hour of waiting 3 of 4 all almost cold then after another 15 minutes the fourth pizza arrived cold after having rejected it waited another 20 minutes it did not arrive and we left in short totally negative But the biggest problem is the incompetence of the staff and the arrogance of the manager to our protests he did not apologize at all for the poor service in any case we have closed with this place definitively

10/12/2025: It's enough to make you want to tear your hair out!! The quality of the food is pathetic. Tough, fatty meat, full of oil, salty, and spicy. Everything is over-seasoned to mask its flavor. Who knows what ocean the octopus came from. Burnt lasagna. I advise everyone not to go there and order... PITY!

30/07/2025: Punctual delivery and excellent quality. Regarding quantity, my guests even ordered three dishes, and still had some left over. Excellent!

05/10/2025: A Saturday evening spent in suspense, a wait of 1 hour and 45 minutes even though the dining room wasn't entirely full. For such a large space, there was only one waitress bringing one pizza at a time to the table, and the pizzas were undercooked despite the quality of the ingredients being good.

12/09/2025: I had dinner at "La Torre" on a Saturday evening in August. As expected, the place was quite crowded, and unfortunately this affected the overall experience. The service was rather slow and a bit disorganized: there was only one waitress managing the entire room, sometimes supported by two others, but clearly not enough to handle the number of customers. The menu was also a slight disappointment: outside, there was a sign promising a wide selection of doughs (hemp, turmeric, whole spelt, charcoal, oats, cereals, etc.), but then at the table, there were only three options available. I expected more consistency between what was advertised and what was actually served. That said, the pizza was really very good, well-cooked, and made with quality ingredients. This certainly improved the experience somewhat. Overall, I think the restaurant has potential, but it needs to improve its service management, especially during peak periods, and be more transparent with customer information.

09/11/2025: A very negative experience. Sitting at a table that seats almost eight people, we pointed out, without any response, that there wasn't enough room to put down plates or glasses, even though we had a reservation. We ordered pizzas at around 9:20 to be eaten at almost 11:00 PM. Despite all the waiting, the pizza was barely edible, being extremely hard and burnt.
