I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/02/2026: A welcoming restaurant with a beautiful open kitchen. The risottos are the best I've ever had in a restaurant, paired with excellent wines, and Diletta is truly kind. We can't wait to return.

05/01/2026: An intimate and well-kept restaurant. Attentive and friendly service. Truly exceptional food; we opted for the tasting menu: - Glimpses of flavor: tomino cheese, zucchini blossom with anchovy, and mozzarella, both delicious. - Tasting of three risottos: honeyed chestnuts with speck and mascarpone ice cream, turnip greens with sausage and caciocavallo cheese, Franciacorta with citrus zest, and shrimp carpaccio (the latter was exceptional). - Desserts: salted caramel tiramisu (I'm a tiramisu lover, among the best I've ever had) and lemon and basil ice cream (artisanal, incredible basil, delicious). The choice to focus on risottos is innovative; gluten-free options are also available. The chef is truly talented. High-quality products, fair prices. For two, with two glasses of wine, €75 total. I absolutely recommend it, a new favorite.

25/02/2026: I highly recommend it. Go for it. Refined atmosphere. Delicious pizza. The owner and staff are exceptional.

20/02/2026: Gorgeous place, charming atmosphere. Despite the crowd, we didn't wait long for service, and we're talking about a table of 21. Good pizza, delicious desserts. Fantastic staff, kind and helpful, and always smiling!

08/03/2026: IT IS NO LONGER THE FAMOUS BAR DA PAOLO OF THE PAST, while you are having an aperitif or breakfast, there is an invasion of pigeons that walk under the tables, breakfast is expensive and aperitif is very expensive, the calzone like the pasticciotto pugliese are no longer as good as they once were, TO AVOID There are many superior ones, clean and with an excellent balance between price and quality

25/01/2026: Very nice and tasty snacks, puzza, rustici. Large selection. At very good prices.

14/02/2026: A truly lovely evening of dinner, the warmth and kindness were top priority, and we found the staff to be truly helpful. The atmosphere was truly beautiful, and the food was excellent. See you next time!

16/11/2025: Enjoyable dinner at Estia Restaurant, where the dishes are carefully crafted and presented. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed, and the service is courteous and professional.

30/03/2026: Very good pizza. The owner and waiters are really friendly. Highly recommended.

08/02/2026: I have to report two unfortunate incidents: I know the restaurant thanks to The Fork, and after eating there a couple of times, I decided to return and book through the The Fork app. First incident: I booked through The Fork on New Year's Eve with the regular à la carte menu and a 20% discount, with confirmation of the reservation via email. I was contacted a day before and told that the reservation could be confirmed, but the discount would not be applied, and the à la carte menu was transformed into a fixed menu at an unreasonable price. Obviously, my refusal resulted in the cancellation of the reservation, ruining New Year's Eve (but that's understandable). Second incident: Last night, I booked through The Fork for two with a 20% discount, and 1 hour before the booked time, I was contacted and told that they had an issue with the portal and that my reservation could not be confirmed (even though I have the restaurant's confirmation email)! Nor do I speak to friends who use The Fork, and they too have received last-minute cancellations due to technical problems on other days. Repeat offender!!! The doubt remains... and the disappointment is profound!!!

26/08/2025: Good place to relax and kindness along with many delicacies

17/07/2025: Just the way I like it, affordable, good food Friendly staff, simple atmosphere. It's best to book.

30/09/2025: We chanced upon this restaurant while walking after dinner, and stopped for a drink and to enjoy the beautiful view of the port and peaceful side of the fortified wall area of Otranto's historic centre. Based on that enjoyable experience we dined there the following evening; it was wonderful. It's a beautiful setting, the service was excellent, and the food was very good; I had a vegan dish, tofu tataki, which was very tasty and filling. For dessert we shared tiramisu and it was literally the best one I've ever had; somehow light and not overly sweet or gooey, just a beautiful balance of flavours. Perfect! Because it's a little off the beaten path it's quieter than some other restaurants in the tourist area, which was delightful.

28/09/2025: Very attentive service and fine food.

15/12/2025: Very welcoming place, kind and professional staff, excellent homemade dishes of various kinds, I highly recommend.

13/12/2025: Highly professional staff, well-kept and intimate environment.... Courtesy, attention to the customer.

24/10/2025: A fairly enjoyable evening with friends. "Excellent" isn't the only reason we ended up at a karaoke night where you had to shout to speak 🤣 Welcoming atmosphere. A classic local trattoria, with local dairy products and wines. Professional and polite service. Very good appetizers, fantastic first courses. Spaghetti with seafood, penne all'arrabbiata, both delicious. Sliced ​​meat and side dishes cooked with love and dedication. Recommended for families and couples. It might seem like a "spartan" place, but it's not. It's family-run. The wait staff is polite and professional.

15/10/2025: Excellent food, everything good... pizzas, price, etc.
