I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

11/06/2026: A lovely, well-kept place with a relaxing atmosphere. We found this little restaurant by chance and decided to stop in. The value for money was truly excellent, considering we had a plate of fresh pasta with catch of the day (a generous and tasty dish) and ciceri e tria (chickpeas and tria). The owner was really kind, offering us pittule (a type of pasta) while we waited for our first courses, and even coffee. I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy a dish made with fresh ingredients!

09/06/2026: The food was delicious, and the cocktail you recommended was also very tasty. Everything was delicious, from the bread served before the meal to the spaghetti and beef dishes. The texture of the spaghetti noodles was excellent. The sunset viewed from the plaza in front of the restaurant was also wonderful. It appears that parking is available in the plaza during the evening hours.

10/06/2026: Excellent coffee...in fact, "de più" Without exaggeration, among the best coffees.

06/06/2026: If you want a typical place to have a Leccoso coffee and eat a pasticchotto, I recommend this place!

14/07/2026: I thought I'd eaten the best mussels with pepper sauce somewhere. I have to think again. The Oscar-winning Imperata and sagne with eggplant and cherry tomato ragù deserve 18 stars. Friendly and attentive service. Compliments to the kitchen and the dining room. We'll be back. Average prices.

11/07/2026: We had a nice dining experience here. The menu is broader and authentic Italian compared to what the name “Pizzeria” suggests, and the prices are very reasonable. The Pappardelle Fresche con Ragù di Cinghiale and the salsiccia from the Grigliata Mista di Carne were particularly delicious. However, the Contorni salad was very plain and uneventful. I would come back here for the pasta and to try the pizzas!

01/07/2026: Outdoor seating area is beautiful. Service is the rudest/worst I’ve experienced in Italy (and I’ve visited 7 times to different areas). One server was very demeaning. She ruined the meal. I would only recommend eating here if you are about to die from hunger. Food was average. Also very strange to pay for tap water that tasted funny.

30/06/2026: A welcoming and tastefully decorated restaurant Very good and friendly service Top-notch cuisine, typical Salento dishes made with care and, above all, high-quality ingredients In addition to all the information that would already be enough to give you enough information to go and try it, I'd like to add that this place puts the customer first—it's not the norm at all restaurants—and then Massimo, with his hospitality and intelligence, as well as the delicious cacio e pepe... which... is absolutely worth trying! Will we be back? Always... always... always

22/10/2025: Traditional cuisine of excellent quality, the owner is very kind and helpful

15/09/2025: Authentic and delicious. The server spoke French and gave us excellent advice. The fish was fresh and well-cooked, all at very reasonable prices.

14/09/2025: Delicious sandwiches, quality ingredients, absolutely fair prices, and a qualified and professional staff. This favorite sandwich shop has become a regular stop for us in Nardò. It's a truly well-maintained, high-quality establishment, with a great focus on customer service. The other night, the owner even prepared the Paulaner sandwiches before pouring them into a glass, carefully chilled, something virtually no one does around here. A detail that truly elevates the service. I'm not giving it 6 stars because 5 is the maximum.

31/08/2025: Really good sandwiches! Excellent service.

07/07/2026: Excellent quality fried food and vegetables. Recommended.

05/07/2026: Very nice place. Lovely staff. Excellent food. Fair price. Nothing to add. I highly recommend it.

20/05/2026: A very pleasant spot in the old town. The zucchini blossoms with ricotta were delicious and not greasy. The dishes are prepared in an original way.

19/05/2026: I visited this cozy restaurant in the historic center of Lecce for the first time on Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised. The service was super attentive, helpful, and fast. The owner recommended the first courses we should try, as they also make their own fresh pasta, and we were truly impressed by the quality of the filling and the freshness of the pasta. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back again.

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

04/07/2026: The food was outstanding—beautifully prepared, exceptionally fresh, and of the highest quality. Every dish reflected the care and passion that goes into the kitchen. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the attentiveness of the staff. The service was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Antonio, who is the epitome of an Italian gentleman. His professionalism, style, and effortless elegance are remarkable. He has a wonderful, discreet smile that immediately puts guests at ease, and watching him serve and pour wine is like watching a true expert at work. His attention to detail and gracious manner elevated the entire dining experience. We would also like to thank the lovely lady who looked after our table. Her warmth and kindness made us feel completely at home, and her welcoming nature was just as memorable as the excellent food. Alex Restaurant offers not only exceptional seafood but also hospitality of the highest standard. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience.

02/07/2026: Excellent restaurant! Everyone is professional and knowledgeable! Excellent and refined dishes.

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.

17/07/2026: I've visited this place before, and it confirmed my fond memories of excellent gelato and attentive service. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy an excellent freshly ground 100% Arabica coffee... you can taste the difference.

04/07/2026: Wonderful pastries, I highly recommend them!

18/07/2026: What can I say? We dined outdoors in a wonderful, typical Salento atmosphere. Excellent food, generous portions, and a fair price, with very kind and helpful waiters. All in all, a wonderful evening.

03/07/2026: I'm writing this review to save others from the same disappointment. The food was terrible. An insult to Italian cuisine. The pasta dishes weren't fresh. They tasted like ready-made meals without any seasoning. Desserts were served frozen.

07/04/2026: A little slow because there are take-out orders, but it was worth it in the end... Pizza doc

02/04/2026: Excellent pizza, tasty and easy to digest, the owner is friendly as are the waiters, recommended, for fun on Fridays there is also karaoke 🎶
