I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

24/09/2025: Excellent pizza! Excellent dough. Recommended.

27/08/2025: Nice place and excellent pizzas

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.

11/09/2025: We wanted to book through The Fork, but when we couldn't, we asked the owner if we could get the same discount, which he claimed didn't apply at lunchtime. The prices aren't at all what they advertise on The Fork. Nevertheless, it was really good. The owner is very friendly, and the setting is very pleasant, with a vaulted room playing pleasant music. It's worth the detour.

23/08/2025: Extremely poor value, mediocre quality, and high prices... A false sense of etiquette isn't enough to justify high prices. Two perfectly identical fish forks and a paper napkin—somewhat amateurish mistakes. The waiter poured the wine into your hand when offering to taste it. The shrimp were obviously frozen, alongside a few authentic ones. The execution of the dishes was acceptable, but could be improved. Overall, a slightly disappointing experience.

24/05/2025: Most people flock to the commercial spots in the center, but this place truly deserves a 5-star rating for its pasticciotto and coffee. The atmosphere is amazing, with a genuine local vibe that makes the experience special. The service is exceptional—friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. A big Bravo to the team at L'incontro for doing such a great job. I loved the place so much, that the next day I went again for a rustico 😋 don't miss it! PS: check out the puffs in the tall fridge on the right hand side, they're awesome!!!

25/04/2025: Great bar and excellent pasticciotti

28/10/2025: Nice food, nice atmosphere, nice service — simple words, perfectly delivered. We spent a few hours in pure harmony, savoring both the dishes and the company. Highly recommend — proof that sometimes “nice” is exactly what you need.

20/10/2025: We found it by chance and were tempted by the burrata. Not knowing what to expect, we sat outside and ordered burrata and two glasses of wine. It was delicious, as was the kindness and friendliness of the waitress who served us. Highly recommended!

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!!!

20/09/2025: Excellent pizza, as was the location. We'll definitely be back. When we booked, I was told we'd be seated inside, but when we arrived, we found the tables set up outside in the cool. Thanks again.

28/08/2025: Good pizza. Welcoming place. Average prices.

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!

16/10/2025: Decent hotel with a large and refurbished room but with bits to fix and a balcony. Breakfast room is unfortunately located 150m away and breakfast is not suitable with no ceramic coffee cups, no pastries, untasty cakes, bad and fill of water juices and no service whatsoever ... definitely not 4 star hotel

15/10/2025: Very good hotel, sea view from the balcony, parking, tasty breakfast

02/11/2025: A charming atmosphere just steps from Piazza Mazzini Baroque Fourth Selection Coffee Wide variety of tasty desserts

29/08/2025: I went for an aperitif. Very generous food and friendly staff. Quiet atmosphere.

23/10/2025: Simply fantastic. Starting at 3:00 p.m., the restaurants in Otranto go into siesta. The small bistro Il Maestrale remains open. It's a great atmosphere. A beautiful view of the small marina. The food is delicious. The service is very attentive and friendly. A definite recommendation.

18/10/2025: Cool place - atmospheric with nice music and heating, very good service, snacks ok 👍🏻

15/07/2025: Here I began my journey through Salento with an excellent dinner of well-prepared typical local dishes and pleasant service.

15/06/2025: They need to update the information. Today, Sunday, June 15, at 8:15 PM, it was listed as open on Google, but it was closed.

26/08/2025: A trip to Lecce to see the city? To celebrate Sant'Oronzo? No. The wife is looking for a shop, in August, with the heat, the half-hour, and the children asking for the bathroom. I slip into an unknown and anonymous café that had struck me with its 1980s-style window. I meet Mr. Bruno, an octogenarian pastry chef, who tells me about his life and his desserts. A wonderful experience.

17/08/2025: The coffee was fantastic, the service was quick, and it was very local, from another era. The mini sfogliattela was delicious.

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.
