I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

21/06/2025: We went to this restaurant because of google recommendations and we didn't regret it. The food, service and atmosphere were more than excellent. The owner was approachable and ready to help. Communicative, but unobtrusive. He praised our daughter's choice of dishes several times and it meant a lot to her🤩 Even though we don't speak the same language, they tried to communicate and make our stay there enjoyable! The food is perfect, both in presentation and in flavors. A must visit!!!

17/06/2025: We have been coming to Italy with great pleasure for almost 30 years. Now after 3 weeks in Salento we have again had many beautiful and tasty (fish) dishes.... but this was really such a restaurant that is unforgettable in the list. The Aragosta alla Catalana at this great proud Sardinian host is a real topper! Delicious lobster prepared in Sardinian style. Delicious. Service is extremely correct and friendly. Host a 10+, exactly how you want to be treated as a guest! In addition to the lobster we had a great starter, beautiful Sardinian Vermentino and as a gift a Torrone from the house with liqueur. You have to eat here!

22/08/2025: The braid of the day is delicious

05/08/2025: Super dairy products. Excellent quality and good value.

03/10/2025: It was very tasty, we would love to come back.

04/09/2025: Delicious aperitif, with plentiful hot and cold delicacies. Courteous and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

22/09/2025: They don't make pasticciotti with shortcrust pastry.

17/08/2025: Without a doubt one of the best breakfasts in Lecce.

29/09/2025: We dropped in for takeaway pizzas but ended up enjoying the pizzas fresh out of the oven in the garden out front. Nice fresh ingredients on a thin crust perfectly cooked in the wood firef oven. Well priced.

11/09/2025: Pizzeria with good quality and well-made pizzas; does not offer table service

13/08/2025: Excellent experience! The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, especially the owner, Mr. Raffaele. The dishes were delicious, carefully prepared, and plentiful: the secret, he told us, was his mother's cooking. There are very few restaurants like this in Salento. Highly recommended!

01/08/2025: The food was good, everything was delicious.

29/08/2025: I came with a friend this evening. We tried an arancini with sausage and mushrooms, but I can assure you that their other flavors are spectacular too. I've ordered from them several times. I highly recommend them.

23/08/2025: Arancini of various types, all expertly made, served hot in a beautiful and welcoming setting. The owner is very kind and helpful. A special mention goes to their cannoli, filled to order with ricotta cheese flown directly from Palermo—simply fantastic. Recommended.

04/08/2025: This wasn't what I expected. After my initial visit, I expected a perfect pizza. The pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven. The atmosphere was pleasant. We ordered takeout. The dishes were prepared quickly, and the service was very friendly. After tasting the first pizza (Capricciosa), it turned out to have a distinct... fishy flavor that practically dominated everything else. The pizza was certainly fresh, and the seafood ingredients were probably added by accident. The Bralesaola, on the other hand, was dominated by the sharp flavor of the cheese, which was of good quality. But the bresaola wasn't noticeable. They certainly don't serve bad pizza there, but expectations were much higher. And the Capricciosa certainly shouldn't have a strong fishy aftertaste. In any case, if you're hungry, feel free to come in and try it. Don't expect fireworks, though.

05/07/2025: Good food, classic Italian pizzeria, competitive prices

25/10/2025: Excellent pizza, friendly and helpful staff, and a nice and welcoming owner. A place I'll gladly return to from time to time.

31/08/2025: Very nice and simple place... the pizza and fried foods are very good... the service could be improved, as not all the waiters pay attention to the tables and it's difficult to get their attention without calling them. I recommend checking the beverage refrigerators, as I received warm beer and, to my disappointment, was told that they were all at that temperature without even changing it... what a shame. Anyway, I want to give you my trust and I'll be back from time to time...

09/09/2025: I know it exclusively as a wine shop selling wines and spirits. The store manager is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in introducing local producers. Highly recommended.

08/09/2025: The place is well stocked with wines from all over the world, not just local ones, and the lady is very kind and knowledgeable.

20/10/2025: Great pizza, delicious, fresh fried shrimp. I highly recommend it, come and see for yourself :-)

16/10/2025: I can recommend it. We ordered takeout and the pizzas on site. We received a warm welcome. While the pizza was being prepared, we were given small snacks, which were very good. The ingredients were freshly prepared, and the pizzas were fresh and delicious. I'll be back next time I'm in Castro. Thank you.

21/09/2025: quiet, clean and well-maintained, great service

09/09/2025: The beach is accessible to four-legged friends. The low rating was due to lunch: two pasta dishes weighing under 50g each, and two fried dishes with water, two spritzes, for €115. But not even in a Michelin-starred restaurant would I have left feeling as hungry as I did here! Never again!!!

11/10/2025: A very charming location, nestled in the greenery of Salento. The staff is friendly, approachable, always available, and attentive to their customers. The food is excellent, from the delicious appetizers to the meticulously prepared, sophisticated, and even exquisite first courses, to the truly delicious second courses, especially the meat-based ones. Finally, the pizzas are simply worth trying, each one better than the last. Stop by and you'll be sure to be satisfied. First of all, I'd like to extend my compliments to the entire staff, and especially to Cosimo and Andrea, their excellent hosts.

07/10/2025: Succulent dish and local cuisine.

18/10/2025: If you've ever dreamed of a timeless experience, where the concept of quick service is treated like an urban legend, this is the perfect place for you. I ordered a sandwich—not a gala dinner, not a 12-course tasting menu, but a sandwich—and after more than an hour, I'm starting to develop an emotional bond with the table. The staff is kind... in the sense that they ignore you with an almost artistic grace. Maybe they're still teaching bread the meaning of the word "toasted," or maybe they're personally raising the cow for the cheese—I don't know, maybe it's the hallucinogenic effects of the wait. In any case, congratulations: not everyone can transform a simple dinner into a forced meditation experience. When it finally arrives, I look at it: plot twist! It's identical to the one my mother makes me at home. Only at hers it takes me five minutes, and there's even a goodnight kiss included in the service. If you want to explore the limits of human patience, book here. Bring a book. Or two.

09/08/2025: We went to this place for dinner with friends (nine of us). We were served by a young man who was a novice and did a great job despite his obvious awkwardness. The menu is definitely TOO long; none of us really read it, but we chose based on our instincts. I'm sure that if it were slimmed down a bit, it would be better for the manager, waiters, and chef, as well as the customers. Everything was good, but the most absurd thing is the rock-bottom prices. I can't understand how they can keep them so low. We spent €12 each and couldn't finish everything, despite how generous the portions were! The atmosphere is certainly not that of a romantic dinner, but for an evening with friends without too many expectations, it's perfect!
