I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

02/06/2025: Un’esperienza quasi perfetta… se non fosse per un dettaglio Il ristorante si presenta accogliente, curato nei dettagli e con un’atmosfera che richiama la tradizione. I piatti sono prelibati, preparati con ingredienti di qualità e rispettano le ricette classiche con un tocco di raffinatezza. Un elogio speciale va al pollo semplicemente spettacolare! Morbido, saporito, cucinato alla perfezione. Sarebbe stata una serata perfetta, se non fosse per un episodio spiacevole. Sappiamo bene che i bambini sono responsabilità dei genitori, ed è nostro impegno educarli affinché abbiano un comportamento adeguato in un locale. I nostri erano seduti al tavolo, tranquilli, senza correre o disturbare gli altri ospiti. Avevano solo un "difetto": parlavano. Dopo circa mezz’ora dall’arrivo, ecco comparire il titolare, un uomo imponente ma purtroppo non altrettanto affabile. Senza troppi preamboli, ha iniziato a rimproverare i bambini, come se il semplice parlare fosse una mancanza di rispetto per l’ambiente. Un atteggiamento che ha rovinato l’atmosfera e ci ha lasciati perplessi. Un luogo con un’ottima cucina e un’ambientazione perfetta, ma che purtroppo sembra poco accogliente per le famiglie con bambini. Peccato, perché il cibo meriterebbe una valutazione eccellente!

27/04/2025: Sarebbe dovuta essere una serata con amici e figli tranquilla...ma così nn è stato! Siamo coppie con figli di 10 anni, che abitualmente escono con noi genitori, pertanto portiamo appresso fogli, colori ecc per farli stare seduti e nn disturbare nessuno! Ma questo nn è bastato!!! Il titolare è uscito prima ancora di fare l ordine, andando dai bambini e minacciandoli che se avessero alzato la voce nn gli avrebbe portato la pizza! Noi genitori stupiti, ma abbiamo raccomandato i NS bambini di nn alzare la voce, ma questo nn è bastato!! Siamo andati a pagare, il primo commento è stato della cameriera, dopo aver preso la mancia di Euro 5.00, ha esordito dicendo " menomale, che ve ne state andando!!!"per arrivare al titolare, informandoci che in molti ristoranti nn sono " ammessi" i bambini, Lui ci ha fatto una cortesia!!!! DOPO QUESTO COMMENTO, SIAMO ANDATI E SICURAMENTE NN CI METTEREMO PIÙ PIEDE!!! Pertanto Vi consiglio di frequentare questo posto solo se volete cenare DA SOLI!!

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.

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: Great bar near the sea, breakfast 🔝 aperitifs at 🔝 excellent staff 🥰

03/10/2025: While passing through during a motorcycle road trip, I came here for breakfast for three days. Excellent cappuccino and pastries. The waitresses were very kind and welcoming despite my difficulty with Italian.

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 👍🏻

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.

19/07/2025: Fantastic atmosphere, quality food, and great prices! They also have gluten-free options, suitable for those with intolerances or celiac disease! Compliments to the friendly staff, they make you feel right at home!

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!

10/08/2025: My partner and I stopped by one evening for pizza and were charmed by the homemade pizza, the variety, the options for customization, the prices, and the owners 😄 Having different pizza preferences, we ordered a half-and-half, which turned out to be delicious and very generous with cheese (if you're not a fan, feel free to ask for less)! We also bought some absolutely sensational ham and cheese croccettas; we slightly regretted not having also bought the Nutella ones 😂 The prices were more than reasonable (€5.50 for the margherita, €2 for the croccetta). Everything is handmade by this lovely couple, yet their prices are lower than the frozen tourist food near the beaches 🥹 We spoke with the owner and he was lovely, with a wonderful attitude and a kind heart <3 We'll definitely come back!

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.

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

26/09/2025: Excellent food and friendly staff, unfortunately I do not recommend it in summer due to the heat and the lack of air conditioning, despite the presence of air conditioning.

18/09/2025: A very well-kept location surrounded by greenery. We dined in the interior of the farmhouse, and it's a truly charming setting. We had a wonderful meal, the food was top-quality, and the waiters were friendly! Recommended!!!

21/07/2025: As a non-fish lover, I can assure you that coming here, in Puglia, is an EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED. A wide selection of products (all fresh, of course), you choose the cooking method, there's also sushi, and above all, it's COMPLETELY GLUTEN-FREE, meaning it's heaven for those with celiac disease.

20/07/2025: Fresh and good fish, a little expensive

21/07/2025: Locale molto carino e personale gentilissimo , per non parlare della loro insalata di mare freschissima, veramente buona … peccato che non siamo della zona altrimenti verrei spesso a mangiare da Voi . Siamo veramente soddisfatti .. complimenti !

04/06/2025: Voor de 2e maal hier gegeten en was opnieuw super lekker. Je hoeft hier niet te zijn voor de hippe sfeer, sjiek of modern interieur. Maar voor een overheerlijke pizza met dunne deeg, lekkere huiswijn een bord met vlees dat smelt in de mond en vriendelijke bediening. Italiaanse keuken tussen locals.
