I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

06/05/2026: The gentleman who took our order was understanding and willing to help us eat what we could (vegetarian) despite not speaking English. We greatly appreciated this gesture. The pizza and focaccia were both delicious and fresh.

03/05/2026: Very nice, very good pizzas!!! Very friendly waitresses who go out of their way to help tourists in their own language

12/05/2026: A lovely place across from the Basilica of Santa Caterina. The service was excellent; they were kind and friendly! The iced coffee with almond milk was excellent, and the pasticciotti were a must! A great place to stop for a bite to eat!

28/04/2026: Beautiful place, welcoming staff, friendly owner. We were treated well and will definitely be back. I'd love to invite you to come.

25/03/2026: Good products, classic and welcoming bar, courteous and friendly bartender. Excellent!

11/01/2026: Ottimo non c'è nulla da dire. Da visitare

23/12/2025: One of the best pizzas in the area. Gluten-free pizza dough also available. Friendly and helpful staff, cozy place.

19/11/2025: There were 6 of us and we ordered 6 different pizzas, one of which was gluten-free, and we were all happy. The pizza was very good, and the fried food was average.

23/04/2026: A very nice restaurant with very, very friendly hosts! The food was excellent!

24/03/2026: "Sascianne is a true hidden gem in Galatone! This restaurant is a unique culinary experience, where the food is prepared with love and attention to detail. I tried their tasting menu, and every dish was an explosion of flavors and colors. The presentation is impeccable, and the service is friendly and professional. The place is steeped in history, as it's one of the oldest structures in Galatone's historic center, dating back to the 1500s, with frescoes inside the courtyard. The ancient, rustic atmosphere of Lecce stone and carparo stone makes you feel at home. The price is more than reasonable, considering the quality of the food and service. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to try Sascianne. It's an experience that will stay in your heart (and on your palate)!" 😋 I should point out that the negative reviews I've read are due to the old management; the restaurant is now under new management, and the staff is absolutely up to par: friendly, kind, and they make you feel right at home, in addition to the excellent quality of the food and pizzas. In the summer, you can enjoy a beautiful outdoor terrace. La Baritonessa ♥️

01/11/2025: I don't recommend it! We ordered a portion of orecchette (we had eaten elsewhere and liked them) and a portion of lasagna, and when they were brought to us we were surprised that they didn't bring us the parmigiano, only after we requested them and waited for a while. The basil was burnt on the edges (a sign that it had been put in the oven with the lasagna, but unfortunately we overlooked this "detail"), and the portion of orecchette was swimming in a soup of something that was supposed to be a sauce. What was annoying was that the orecchiettes were cooked differently (some soft and others very hard) and when we told them this they said they couldn't do it, then that if we wanted we wouldn't pay for them, then that they would bring us more, finally the woman who served us didn't come to the table and sent the bar boy to collect our bill (in full of course) who told us that we had eaten the portion anyway so it had to be paid. We asked for someone to come and discuss it with us and things had already escalated. We asked to pay and we left with a bitter taste. Total lack of professionalism.

24/10/2025: I tried the “Gnocchi di patate al sugo” and they were delicious—very flavorful with an excellent texture. For dessert, I had tiramisu and I really liked it too. The prices are great — I paid 20 euros in total — and the service was very friendly and fast. They also have the traditional orecchiette, which look amazing as well. I’d definitely repeat the experience!

24/03/2026: A casual trattoria with simple, traditional dishes and excellent, local ingredients. The horsemeat steak and pan-fried vegetables are excellent. Fair prices. Recommended.

08/03/2026: Excellent cuisine without too many frills, you eat well

11/12/2025: Great family experience. We went with friends (other families) and had a great time. Excellent service and helpful staff, great location, truly a beautiful place. Well done...I would recommend it.

28/07/2025: Terrible place to eat. The owner is truly arrogant and presumptuous. He mocks customers and says untrue things. The food was truly awful and the price was high. I ordered bombette and he brought me a stewed meat that was spicy and extremely salty, practically inedible. I strongly advise against it.

06/05/2026: They make the best crepes in Lecce. The crust is delicious and soft, and the Nutella is generous. The prices are disappointing; €4 seems excessive to me. Shortly thereafter, they went from €3.00 to €3.50, and finally €4.00.

01/05/2026: You have to put the Dolce di Latte

26/12/2025: I'm sorry to have to share my negative and disappointing experience. On December 22nd, I went to the store and placed an order for a deli for Christmas Eve, clearly specifying the pickup date. When I went to pick it up, I discovered that the order wasn't available because they had marked the wrong date. I understand that there's a lot of confusion during the Christmas period, but that's precisely why we expect greater attention, especially when it's such an important date. The result was that I was left without what I ordered, resulting in considerable inconvenience. It's a shame because the quality of the products could be good, but the organization and order management definitely need improvement.

24/12/2025: The cakes for my 50th birthday were delicious, decorated with skill and elegance! The phone arrangement with Davide was excellent, given the impossibility of ordering in person. Thank you! Ilaria

11/04/2026: Excellent place, we had a pizza (tuna and Emmental), a first course (tonnarello with lobster), and a grilled Fassona rib-eye steak with a side of grilled vegetables. The rib-eye steak was generously portioned (it must have been about 350g), excluding the bone. It was cooked to the required level, perfectly aged, and anyone who knows rib-eye steak knows how important it is to allow you to eat it without having to bite into it. 😅 The first course was really good and plentiful, with a nice sauce and candied cherry tomatoes. Furthermore, there was half a lobster with the claw already well cracked (this isn't always the case), and the pizza was perfectly cooked (not toasted). The mozzarella was mozzarella, not stringy cheese, and the Emmental was Emmental, so in addition to having an excellent dough and excellent cooking, it was topped with quality ingredients that enhanced the overall flavor. For dessert, we ordered a stuffed crepe (off the menu) and fresh seasonal fruit. The fruit platter was plentiful and varied (kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, and oranges), sweet and not tart. The crepe was a pleasant end-of-dinner treat. The Staff We were served by a young woman who knew how to combine discretion and attentiveness, intervening when needed without ever disrupting the dinner. Proactive and always smiling, she truly managed the evening independently and confidently. Thank you, Francesca!!! Finally, we're not from Galatina, but we'll definitely be back in the future because places like this make you go home with a full belly and a smile on your face because they bring happiness. Compliments to the owner, the chefs, and the waiters.

27/02/2026: Very well-kept and well-organized place. The staff in the dining room are very kind. It's a shame about the pizza which for me gives the sensation of piadina... pizza.... But it could be my personal taste.

19/12/2025: 10 out of 10! Excellent service and products.

29/09/2025: Very well-stocked wine shop, also offering taralli, pasta, and more. Two very knowledgeable young men welcomed us, giving us directions and recommending wines. You can also order online, and you can also buy wine in bulk. We'll be happy to return. 😊 Matteo and Luciana, the Rome-based team at B&B Ad Maiora

31/01/2026: They serve what they catch, which is a tempting feature, so the menu is always changing. Authentic food, well-cooked and beautifully presented. The location is also beautiful.

07/12/2025: ...we happened upon it by chance, and found a truly lovely little place. The dining room was small but welcoming, the staff friendly, and the food truly excellent. I was pleasantly surprised that they denied my request for fried fish... simply because the daily catch was different... What was served was delicious, especially the mackerel parmigiana. We'll be back soon. Thank you so much.

01/05/2026: Welcoming place, very kind owner and staff, quality food

14/03/2026: One of the best restaurants in the province of Lecce. High quality and great prices.
