I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/05/2026: If you're looking for the luxury of appearances, look elsewhere; if you're looking for the luxury of substance, authenticity, and a family feel, then you're in the right place. We had lunch at Zia Nene's with my wife and our 5-year-old daughter and were blown away. The Cuisine Is Authentic and Endless ​Forget processed products or frozen food. Here, everything is cooked to order, and you can taste it. The philosophy is clear: uncompromising quality and quantity. ​My daughter was treated to a huge appetizer of locally sourced cured meats and cheeses, followed by a pasta with sausage ragù that she devoured with delight. ​For us, it was an incredible experience. We started with five fabulous appetizers, which we repeated several times (because here, "seconds" and "thirds" are the norm, not the exception). This was followed by expertly made fresh pasta, and finally, a homemade dessert accompanied by spectacular fresh fruit. The restaurant is informal and exudes a rare warmth. The owner's kindness is the real added value: she made us feel at home from the first moment, even going so far as to offer our daughter's meal, a gesture of elegance and sweetness from another era. Talking about "honesty" is an understatement: €25 per person for a feast of fresh, lovingly prepared products is a price almost impossible to find these days. If you want to eat until you say "enough" with the certainty of only healthy ingredients on your plate and a smile on your face, visit Zia Nene. We'll definitely be back! Thank you again for your attention to us, and especially to our daughter!!!

07/04/2026: I went to this place yesterday (Easter Monday) for the first time. I had a good meal. The food is homely and the management is friendly. The only "flaw" is the wait time between courses, but that's understandable because everything is prepared and served fresh (it's a bit like going to lunch at your aunt's). Aunt Nene is very friendly and kind; she certainly doesn't leave you without food; in fact, she brings you as much as she has.

31/05/2026: Well-maintained place. Very good pizzas. Quality ingredients.

25/04/2026: Excellent place, fabulous pizza, top-quality ingredients, superb service, fantastic mixed fried fish. The staff is friendly, courteous, and above all knowledgeable.

06/04/2026: Top-notch rotisserie, highly recommended! The large pizzas are also excellent.

01/07/2026: Outdoor seating area is beautiful. Service is the rudest/worst I’ve experienced in Italy (and I’ve visited 7 times to different areas). One server was very demeaning. She ruined the meal. I would only recommend eating here if you are about to die from hunger. Food was average. Also very strange to pay for tap water that tasted funny.

30/06/2026: A welcoming and tastefully decorated restaurant Very good and friendly service Top-notch cuisine, typical Salento dishes made with care and, above all, high-quality ingredients In addition to all the information that would already be enough to give you enough information to go and try it, I'd like to add that this place puts the customer first—it's not the norm at all restaurants—and then Massimo, with his hospitality and intelligence, as well as the delicious cacio e pepe... which... is absolutely worth trying! Will we be back? Always... always... always

12/06/2026: We stopped at this restaurant by chance. The raw fish was excellent, especially the risotto, which was delicious.

09/06/2026: Excellent cuisine, friendly and helpful staff in an elegant setting with a beautiful sea view.

07/01/2026: I don't think I can describe the taste and deliciousness of the pastry; you'll have to try it yourself to understand that you won't find anything better.

29/12/2025: Spectacular, but I would review the prices

31/07/2025: Delicious, fresh, and high-quality food, a quiet location, a wide selection of ingredients, and the ability to choose the ingredients to season your pasta is brilliant. This place is worth it.

31/07/2025: Fresh pasta and excellent quality, quiet place and welcoming owners

25/09/2025: Wow!!! An unassuming door that doesn't reveal what's behind it. Amazing pastries!! All of you who live nearby are lucky. Worth a detour.

07/09/2025: And always an absolute guarantee...the best there is!!

15/07/2026: Very well-stocked bar, friendly and helpful staff. I recommend it to anyone in the area. Congratulations.

08/07/2026: Bar from another era… very dated

31/03/2026: We discovered the place a few months ago, and since then we can't do without it, location, quality of products, atmosphere, everything is top notch, always a pleasure to go there, compliments to everyone

25/02/2026: Great Francesco, excellent sandwiches at a great price.

15/08/2026: Overall, a good experience. It was a pleasant evening. Perhaps our expectations were too high, and, as often happens, they weren't met. The atmosphere is very minimalist and understated; the internal cohort we'd heard about is gone. Our table was in the middle of the blast of two split air conditioners. Not ideal, but as soon as a side table became available, the maître d', after our formal request, moved us. The dishes were good, and some were truly remarkable—the sweetbreads. The prices are in line with Michelin-starred restaurants in international cities like Milan or Rome. Good, reasonably priced wine list.

15/08/2026: I'll admit that I'm not very accustomed to gourmet cuisine, unlike my sister and my partner, with whom we dined at Primo. After biting into the chef's rice, potatoes, and mussels, I understood what they see in Michelin-starred restaurants :-) The very kind and friendly maître d' recommended a bottle of wine at a fair price, understanding that we were three young people who wanted to eat well but without spending a fortune on expensive bottles. The service put us at ease; everyone was very friendly and ready to chat or ask questions about the dishes. The food was obviously good; we chose the surprise menu: not everything convinced us 100%, but the selection was varied, and we imagine some dishes were designed with a non-Italian audience in mind (after all, one pasta dish out of nine dishes is something a foreigner would expect). The €150 menu is a lot compared to what you'd spend on a rustico and a pasticciotto, but considering the small space, the number of dishes, and the complexity of the preparations, it's hard to imagine spending less. There are options for non-alcoholics, and they weren't shocked that I only drank water.

11/08/2026: Just like home... even the girls from Copertino appreciated this place 😘

11/08/2026: A wonderful gastronomic experience. I ordered the horse meat, which, along with the potato croquettes, is their signature dish. I was served immediately, the dish arrived piping hot, and the flavor of the meat was sublime—tender and well-preserved. The potato croquettes were incredibly sweet, almost melting in your mouth. A magical place nestled in the streets of Soleto's historic center. I highly recommend stopping by; you won't be disappointed.

12/08/2026: A fantastic bar for a sunset aperitif!

09/08/2026: 9 euros for a gin and tonic with Eurospin-level gin. Drink elsewhere if you can.

01/05/2026: More than just a sandwich maker! We're talking about a true meat gourmet here. Congratulations, guys! Sorry, but I only managed to take a picture of the burger because the appetizers and sandwich were devoured.

27/04/2026: Truly excellent burger joint, discovered by chance, and I'll be going there all the time from now on. The place is meticulously maintained and, above all, smells amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, the sandwiches and beers are truly top-notch. Highly recommended.

09/08/2026: A place that never disappoints! The staff is always courteous, friendly, and attentive to your every need. The food is simply excellent: from generous and delicious appetizers to first and second courses, all carefully crafted by the chef. The pizzas deserve special mention, from the classics to the more unique and customized versions, which stand out for their excellent flavor and fresh ingredients. It's the ideal place for any occasion, whether it's a family evening, a romantic dinner, a birthday, or a special event. Highly recommended, and congratulations to the entire staff!

24/06/2026: Everything was perfect! Excellent ingredients, tasty dishes, and excellent value. Pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service. Five stars well deserved!
