I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

18/06/2025: I am updating the review after 6 years, with great pleasure, we were welcomed even though it was almost 11pm and this is already an extra point. We had the famous and long potato croquettes, really very good, handmade, I would have liked more mint but at that time you can't expect anything 🙂 followed by a round of pizzas for three of us and a puccia for the fourth. Here too, nothing negative to say, good and light dough, rich and tasty toppings. The puccia also received nice compliments! So compared to the review from 6 years ago (which I leave below) deserved stars, recommended! Review of 2019: A little disappointed! Family evening tasting the phantom Soleto croquettes which in the end were not such a great specialty. Spartan location but nice overall. The service? Leaves a little to be desired, slow and not very organized. We had octopus and meatballs, eggplant and olives Ascolana meatballs but again nothing special. Good pizzas but mine was soupy because of the buffalo mozzarella and too much sauce. Sausage and turcinieddhi .... To try again maybe it was a bad day.. I don't feel like advising against it in fact it is definitely worth visiting together with the town! Soleto is beautiful and lively. However I rate it THREE STARS AND NO MORE!

15/06/2025: In Search of Lost Time would be the title of this wonderful experience in this trattoria in Soleto. Courtesy and professionalism are the backdrop to a quality of food and an abundance of portions that are now out of time. Back 40 years in flavors and atmosphere. Thanks guys

18/06/2025: I only ate ice cream, few flavors but excellent!

18/06/2025: Good aperitif but not very good. The bathroom cannot be seen It's a shame for a historic bar of this magnitude Everything should be cared for and preserved

01/06/2025: A beautiful experience and the service was impeccable

18/05/2025: Mi dispiace dover scrivere questa recensione, soprattutto perché in passato ho mangiato più volte in questo locale e ne ero rimasta soddisfatta. Purtroppo, l’esperienza recente è stata ben lontana dagli standard a cui ero abituata, sia per la cucina che – soprattutto – per il servizio. Avevamo prenotato un tavolo per 10 persone con largo anticipo, e ci era stato garantito che avremmo mangiato tutti insieme. Peccato che, al nostro arrivo, ci sia stato comunicato – con poca cortesia e ancor meno dispiacere – che non sarebbe stato possibile. Durante la cena, i piatti sono arrivati in ordine sparso: l’ultima persona ha ricevuto il suo ordine un’ora dopo che la prima aveva iniziato a mangiare e ha dovuto mangiare solo, gli edamame sono arrivati insieme al dolce. Evidentemente c’è stato un errore nell’ordine, ma anche in questo caso nessuna scusa da parte del personale. Quanto al cibo, devo ammettere che non mi ha convinta sia nei piatti principali che nel pesce crudo che potrebbe essere quello di un qualsiasi all you can eat... con la differenza che qui il conto è molto più salato. Era davvero un posto che amavo ma per ora, difficile pensare di tornare.

30/06/2025: Wonderful restaurant. Welcoming and attentive staff. DELIGHTFUL food. Amazing view!

28/06/2025: I celebrated my wedding anniversary... wonderful evening, impeccable service and high quality food

03/06/2025: Su indicazione di un amico del posto Abbiamo deciso di cenare in questo agriturismo. Sebbene il locale non ci abbia entusiasmato molto, la qualità delle portate è stata davvero ottima. Molto buono il polipo su crema di fave e altrettanto buona la seppia arrostita sul letto di piselli. Anche i primi ci sono piaciuti molto, sia quello di terra, le sagne con le polpettine di carne, e quello di pesce. Consigliatissimo.

11/05/2025: I stock up here every Sunday and couldn't be more satisfied. The pasta factory offers a vast choice of fresh pasta, always of the highest quality. You can feel the craftsmanship in every format, from the simplest to the most sophisticated. In addition to pasta, there are also really delicious ready meals, perfect when you want something good without having to cook. The staff is always friendly and helpful. A guarantee of goodness and tradition!

25/03/2025: The best pasta factory in Lecce

28/05/2025: Great vegan options, lots of stuff is made with marzipan of a very good quality, everything we tried was good

11/05/2025: Excellent gluten-free products, specialists in pastry production

16/05/2025: Disappointing experience Excessive prices for what is offered. The pizza was poorly stretched, more like a pinsa, and the "La grande abbuffata" dish for two was barely enough for one. The €2.50 for a small bottle of water and €3 for the cover charge are absurd. Too bad, I would have gone back, but it really seems like the goal is to squeeze the customer as much as possible, offering the bare minimum. I do not recommend it.

12/05/2025: Very large venue with expert staff

29/06/2025: Very good restaurant, very interesting sea view. Excellent choice of wines.

29/06/2025: I'll start by saying that I always went to eat at this place in the past, now I'm asking if they've changed management. To be honest, the food was very good, no complaints, but the service was one of the worst in my life, the waiters didn't even know the table numbers, there was a confusion in the service that left us amazed. One of the waitresses, I think she was Ukrainian, was shouting into the radio like she was a soldier, they were asking each other for the table numbers and where the dishes were going. They even made customers move from one table to another while they were eating, which was really strange. I repeat, the food was really excellent, but the dining room was in total chaos. The bartender who looked like Shaggy from Scooby Doo was priceless.

13/07/2025: Three of us had lunch at this restaurant based on a recommendation from locals. We can say we had a great time. The location is small but charming. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Fresh pasta dishes typical of the Salento tradition. The portions were adequate. The quality food was further enhanced by the skill of the chef, who evoked emotions in me that I had forgotten. Prices were average. I recommend it.

13/07/2025: A small gem in the heart of Lecce, distinctive with its vaulted ceilings and stone walls, meticulously crafted decor, and authentic flavors. The meat is also delicious. I recommend booking to be sure, as the place isn't large.

10/05/2025: Nice place, even if from the name you expect a very different atmosphere from what you find when you enter. The place is still nice and clean. I got a cut and liked it.

08/05/2025: Good food, good atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thank you!

16/06/2025: Fantastic fish, so-so vico appetizer, excellent service and very nice location, an experience to repeat.

13/06/2025: Welcoming place, typical of Salento with courtyard houses, excellent pizza and kind and helpful staff. Top.

06/06/2025: Again a place with honest and delicious food. And: not often on the menu, but the horse meat stew was very tasty!

20/04/2025: Characteristic location, typical of Salento with wonderful star vaults, well-kept. Cozy environment! Courteous and professional staff. Let's get to the kitchen... The right place to taste traditional cuisine. The house appetizer varied and tasty, the first courses excellent! We will definitely return and talk about you... In fact we went back and this time too we ate very well 👍

27/03/2025: Good sandwiches, pizza with onion and mustaccioli! Cozy and unique place.
