I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

23/08/2025: The absolute best bar in Salento. Ideal for a sandwich, the products are of the highest quality, and the ingredients are unmatched, something you won't find anywhere else. Excellent service, expertly prepared drinks, and a wide selection of top-quality options. Special thanks to the two owners, Silvia and Vincenzo, who maintain a high level of commitment and dedication to quality. Returning to them is always a pleasure, an unmissable stop that makes us appreciate this wonderful land even more.

18/06/2025: I recommend it to those who love eating quality products.

06/06/2025: Highly recommended 👍👍👍 The food was delicious 😋 The value for money was great 👍 During our stay in Puglia, we ate here on a Saturday evening. Unfortunately, the opening hours shown on Google are incorrect. We wanted to go again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday, but after checking by phone, the restaurant was closed on those days. Therefore, it's best to call ahead and reserve a table if necessary, as it gets busy. A menu is only available by scanning the QR code. We'd be happy to come back when we're in the area 🫶

15/05/2025: Clean place..good and fresh food and low prices

22/09/2025: Service was quite cold might have been because we didn’t speak much Italian but we were trying servers seemed quite frustrated with us but we tried. We ordered a few dishes the stars were the baked mussels 10/10! And the Irish beef with Bree and potatoes was excellent the cook on the steak was perfect and we enjoyed both dishes thoroughly. We also had the lobster pasta dish which was good but the lobster wasn’t cracked and didn’t provide any utensils to get into the legs and claws so was quite difficult to eat.

06/09/2025: We had a lovely girl’s night dinner here, so here is a breakdown of how it went: We were greeted promptly and seated at a table in their whimsical garden. There is an extensive wine list, we opted for a sparkling rosé which was just perfect for a warm evening. For starters we shared the octopus alla Luciana - it was cooked to perfection : Tender, flavourful, and crispy in the right places. The chef is very creative with her flavours but it’s not overpowering at all. We also shared the cozze gratinate: very interesting twist on the classic, using smoked provolone cheese. Delicious ! I had the calamarata with swordfish and tuna, basil, tomatoes and pangrattato - now I’m not sure what these comments saying the fish isn’t fresh come from - the fish was VERY fresh, and I live here so I know the difference. The pasta was perfectly cooked, 10/10. My girlfriends had the lamb, which was very good and served with cherries, and the Ombrina fish in limoncello butter sauce - divine. I know it sounds weird but the flavours are delicate and very well balanced. We didn’t get dessert because we met up with other friends after, but were offered some shortbread cookies on the house. Thank you to the staff for this unforgettable experience ! I will be back.

01/10/2025: Fantastic and welcoming... as if you were at home

11/09/2025: The owner pretends to be friendly, it's a typical foreign tourist spot, the fish is frozen, I don't recommend the appetizer recommended by the owner or the waiters; for me, it's an insult to Italian and Salento cuisine, and Neapolitan neomelodic music is played throughout the meal. The owner slammed me for not being a football fan. Absolutely not recommended.

29/06/2025: Very good and fresh food. The girl in the dining room was very efficient!

28/06/2025: Pasta was great, seafood fresh and location was central hidden in the shade and with nice windy breeze. Priced a bit more touristic. Overall a solid 4+

25/08/2025: Truly excellent pizzas – crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked. Friendly service, highly recommended!

15/06/2025: Very good pizza! Always fresh and quality ingredients, light dough. Friendly and helpful staff, there is always room for a smile and a heartfelt gesture. I will definitely be back!!!!

06/09/2025: A grill restaurant with an open butcher's counter. Top-quality ingredients; the Black Angus steak and meatballs in tomato sauce were succulent. They also offer a pizzeria and takeout service with a wide-ranging menu. Attentive and professional staff. Highly recommended.

05/09/2025: Clean and welcoming place... As soon as we entered, a young man welcomed us and, seeing my poodle arrive, he already went out of his way to give my dog ​​water without me saying anything. This place already deserves 5 stars... We had some delicious cuts of meat, you can also find the butcher shop on display inside. I had a very good pizza, the pistachio and melon liqueurs on the house were excellent... Mattia, the young man who welcomed us, was full of attention to the entire service from start to finish... To conclude, he gave balloons to my children, a small gesture but for my children it was super. Thanks again Mattia, number one...

09/10/2025: Poor quality, too expensive for the quality

05/10/2025: Pleasant place, very well located. Lunch was nothing special. Coffee and pastries were very good.

06/10/2025: Yet another terrible experience. 1) the waitress was irritated and impatient, especially towards the older person at the table. 2) the desserts were terrible quality. 3) the cream-filled pasticciotto had cinnamon added or I don't know what else! Attention! ⚠️ You have to tell us the ingredients! What if I was allergic? 4) Expressino: No Comment! ...the name remained... and the appearance!!! It's so true that... not everyone knows about quality! Yet another time of Dissatisfaction!!! And, unfortunately, it's the same bad experience that my acquaintances and friends had... ouch! More seriousness and commitment! Thank you

27/09/2025: Excellent pastry shop, really good pasticciotti and rustici!!!

03/09/2025: I walked in and was mesmerized by the display cases filled with beautiful pastries and cakes. The flavor was wonderful, too. I took home some amazing pasticciotti. Top-notch pastry shop.

30/08/2025: Dinner with friends, everything was delicious! From the fillets to the pizza! Excellent service. I recommend!

14/10/2025: We were guests at this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and ate typical Salento dishes, each dish expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients. Everything was delicious and tasty. Highly recommended!

08/09/2025: I just wrote a review for Lu Spilu. I'll do it again. This restaurant, both traditional and otherwise, is excellent. The ingredients are top-quality, the owners are kind but not intrusive. The lady who prepares the desserts is very imaginative and original. You won't find it on the tourist circuit. It's located in Andrano on a small street. You won't regret trying it.

22/09/2025: Excellent service, raw materials, kind and knowledgeable staff. If you pass by Sannicola, this restaurant will not disappoint you.

18/09/2025: Like every year, we couldn't miss the event at Villa Excelsa. Beautiful location, excellent food, and above all, wonderful people!

22/07/2025: Cena tipica immersi nella pace. Sono in gravidanza ed il personale è stato estremamente gentile e attento. Servizio eccellente e molto veloce. Consiglio l’antipasto misto, il purè di fave e ottima anche la carne. Bellissima esperienza

18/07/2025: Agriturismo salentino con piatti tipici locali ben preparati. Dall'antipasto al dolce. A Veglie, poco distante da porto Cesareo.

27/08/2025: We were pleasantly surprised by the extreme availability and flexibility of the home delivery service. Despite placing our order late in the evening, the pizzas were delivered promptly. Special mention goes to the delivery man, who bravely ventured into the rugged countryside of Neviano, where we were staying, without hesitation.

21/08/2025: You can eat outside, fast service, good food

25/10/2025: We stayed here for a friends' wedding. Castello Monaci is an enchanting venue, nestled among vineyards and centuries-old olive trees, combining history, elegance, and nature. The property is impeccably maintained, and a fairytale atmosphere reigns from the moment you enter. The interior rooms are refined, the outdoor grounds are meticulously maintained, and the perfect setting for unforgettable weddings. The staff is highly professional, always available, and attentive to every detail. The cuisine is top-notch: refined dishes, local ingredients, and meticulous presentation. Each course was a true culinary experience. A strong point is undoubtedly the organization: nothing is left to chance, everything is coordinated with precision and kindness, making guests feel welcomed and pampered from start to finish. I highly recommend Castello Monaci to anyone looking for a dream location in Puglia.

16/10/2025: I've been to a wedding and they were impeccable
