I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

15/02/2026: The waiter pretended to be serving one dish, but in reality, he was serving something else. The same waiter took orders and gestured at people's heads, arrogant and rude. Terrible service. Excellent value for money, mediocre.

20/01/2026: Welcoming and quiet, the atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Service is prompt, courteous, and well-organized. Delicious appetizers, fried foods, and truly top-notch pittule! Excellent pizza and pan pizza, with a light, expertly-made dough. Abundant mixed roast meats. Excellent bottled wine from the De Castri winery (a guarantee of quality). Highly recommended.

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

09/01/2026: An example that should be followed.

09/10/2025: Friendly and helpful multiethnic and multilingual staff

02/10/2025: I have tried at least 6 difficult dishes and 2 different desserts. Everything was delicious in a rustic sense. Zero flaws. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. Try their grilled food.

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!

13/01/2026: Nice place, friendly staff and good food

03/01/2026: Delicious and very inexpensive. Sweetest wait staff, amazing fries, table wine is so ridiculously cheap. Ate here 2 nights in a row because I enjoyed it so much. Also they offer multiple meat options which is almost impossible to find here. Love this place!

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.

12/01/2026: We had lunch on New Year's Day, sitting down at 1:30 PM and being served at 3 PM. The food didn't live up to expectations; in fact, it was quite poor. We were very disappointed.

23/12/2025: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An authentic experience in the heart of Lecce We dined at Locanda Arcu te Pratu and the experience exceeded our expectations. The setting beneath the historic arch is very evocative and creates a truly special atmosphere. The cuisine is authentic, prepared with quality ingredients and well-balanced in flavor. The service is professional, friendly, and attentive, while the good selection of wines perfectly complements the experience. A restaurant recommended for those seeking quality, tradition, and a characteristic setting in Lecce. We will definitely return.

11/11/2025: A fantastic experience for San Martino! 💫 I went to this restaurant to celebrate San Martino, and I must say it was a truly special experience! The food is all typically Salento, prepared with genuine ingredients and with that authentic flavor that makes you feel at home. From appetizers to desserts, every dish was carefully prepared, rich and plentiful, a true celebration of flavors and tradition. The local wines were also excellent, perfect to accompany the dishes. A special thanks to Antonio, the owner, always welcoming, kind, and attentive, and to Timo, the chef, whose skill brings the soul of Salento cuisine to the table. A warm and convivial place, ideal for an evening with friends or family. Highly recommended for those who want an authentic experience and enjoy true Salento cuisine, characterized by abundance, quality, and conviviality! 🍷🍇✨

05/11/2025: Last week, I went to dinner with some friends. It's hard for me to return to this place. The welcome was very pleasant and different from usual. The new autumn pizza was the best (cream of pumpkin, scamorza, and pancetta, delicate and crispy dough with red cabbage) along with the cabbage salad as an entree, really not bad. Once we were seated and chose our beverage (the wine selection is very respectable, even though I rarely toast anymore), the classic pittule to break the wait for the main courses: ravioli del plin with stew, fish in a salt crust, pecorino cheese with tomato sauce, seasonal vegetables cooked in every way. Dessert and coffee to finish. Everything was sooooo good. The bill was very fair. The staff was friendly. Thank you, and see you next time. PS: I'm not attaching photos of the dishes because my hands and cutlery were busy with the courses and, if necessary, sharing the dishes. 😋😋😋
