I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

11/11/2025: They took a long time to deliver

12/10/2025: Definitely the most wholesome, delicious pizza around! The pizza dough is supposed to rest for 72 hours. This way, nothing sits heavily on the stomach, in my experience.

03/02/2026: I stop by often because the guys are really friendly and down-to-earth. Excellent pizza and super clean environment! Their smiles are that extra touch of deliciousness that fills your heart after a hard day's work. Highly recommended.

15/12/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Super positive experience at Pizzeria Calabash! Excellent food, tasty pizza, and quality ingredients. Fast, friendly, and always attentive service. Welcoming and refined atmosphere, ideal for an evening with friends or family. Passion and professionalism are evident in every detail. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back! 🍕✨

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

29/07/2025: Siamo stati in questo ristorante a cena con tutta la famiglia. È stata una meravigliosa scoperta. I camerieri gentilissimi e simpatici ci hanno accolti con limonata fresca. Dopo un gustoso amuse bouche, abbiamo gustato diversi piatti a base di pesce tutti abbondanti e ricercati. Ci ha sorpreso la quantità di pesce fresco presente in tutte le portate. Dall' antipasto al dolce è stata un' esperienza culinaria memorabile.

25/07/2025: Ieri, io e mia moglie, siamo andati a cenare, in codesto rinomato ristorante. Abbiamo ordinato due fritture Senza spine, 19,00 euro cadauno due contorni, uno di patate e l'altro misto di broccoli carciofi carote ecc. Un'acqua minerale naturale e un calice di vino rosato. Le fritture 19,00 euro cadauno, nella norma, senza infamia e Senza lode, il vino non particolare 7,00 un calice, acqua panna 3,00. Coperto 6,00. I contorni, rifiutati in quanto non mangiabili, pertanto la signora alla cassa , ha avuto l'onestà di non conteggiarli. Costo finale 54,00. Delusione, in base alle recensioni, ci saremmo aspettati altro. Peccato,forse era una serata storta, oppure ognuno ha il proprio livello.

06/04/2026: A perfectly normal place. Nothing particularly exceptional. More than anything, it's a historic landmark in the town.

30/10/2025: Hospitality is amazing no complains at all. Perfect little bar

22/02/2026: The Universo restaurant is truly a universe of flavors and Salento hospitality. I stopped for Sunday lunch and everything was delicious: fresh and tasty dishes, good house wine, and the orange and almond cake that finished it all was excellent. The staff were truly kind and helpful, never intrusive.

08/02/2026: A Sunday Lunch Between Seafood Flavors and Family Warmth There's nothing better than gathering the family around a table filled with the aroma of salt and tradition. Our lunch at Ristorante Universo was a true journey of flavor, an experience that celebrated the quality of the ingredients with a touch of creativity. The variety of dishes made sharing a constant pleasure: We started with a lively mix: from crispy mixed fried fish to classic mixed fried fish (always a surefire hit for adults and children), through to a refreshing octopus and shrimp salad and exquisite au gratin mussels, perfectly golden. The First Courses (The Heart of the Lunch): The real star was the seafood risotto. Perfectly creamed, with a vibrant touch of saffron and more. Equally worthy were the spaghetti all'Adriatica and paccheri agli abissi, rich dishes where the pasta captured every nuance of the sea. Even the French fries, served rustically, lived up to the standards of a carefully crafted lunch. We ended on a high note with a jar of tiramisu, creamy and authentic in flavor, the perfect way to cap off a special Sunday. Ristorante Universo confirms itself as an excellent choice for those seeking the legacy of tradition (the good kind, passed down from generation to generation) combined with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. A place where "eating well" means feeling at home, but with the privilege of having the best of the catch on your plate. Highly recommended for those who want to turn an ordinary Sunday into a wonderful memory.

29/03/2026: Promises kept: from social media to the table! As a Level 8 Local Guide, I always strive for the right balance between expectation and reality, and tonight 'Il Re della Pizza' in Gallipoli nailed it. I'd seen Cristian's viral videos, and while he's hilarious and captivating on social media, it's in front of the oven that he shows his true worth. The pizza is exactly as he describes it: light, easy to digest, and made with top-quality ingredients. It's not just marketing, it's true passion. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service makes you feel at home. If you're in Gallipoli, this is a must-see. Highly recommended!

23/03/2026: Simply fantastic pizza! Light dough and super fresh ingredients, you can taste the quality from the first bite. Fast service and super friendly staff. I'll definitely be back!

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.

19/03/2026: Excellent bar, premium coffee. Ask for the owner, Sciacchitano, a true coffee artist. All the coffee is made on-site, even the morning croissants are made fresh, not frozen. Everything is delicious.

26/01/2026: Excellent iris, congratulations

09/04/2026: Very nice place, clean and with attention to every detail. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to dessert. From one to ten, it's a ten for me. I'll definitely be back.

21/03/2026: We had dinner at this truly charming place, with the staff ready to welcome you at the door. The menu is set and includes a selection of appetizers, a first course, a second course, and dessert. Drinks are not included. The appetizers are delicious and beautifully presented. The vegetable tempura is good, the cheeses are excellent, and the veal with tuna sauce is excellent. Paccheri with tomato sauce and Colonnata lard are simple and flavorful, served in a baking dish to share. The second course, suckling pig with mashed potatoes, is also delicious. For dessert, there's chiacchiere with tiramisu cream. The atmosphere is very pleasant, especially near the fireplace.

24/11/2025: Delicious home cooking! Warm and friendly atmosphere.

29/10/2025: Excellent location, very kind and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

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!!!

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.
