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.

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!

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!

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!!!

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. 😋😋😋

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.

07/12/2025: very negative experience, incompetent staff, average quality food

12/10/2025: The owner was very kind, the place was really welcoming, the food was excellent and the service was great!!!

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.

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.

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.

15/12/2025: Pleasant atmosphere, exquisite food and very kind and knowledgeable staff.

01/11/2025: We celebrated our little Luna's baptism at L'Aura restaurant and... what can we say? We were completely won over! 💕 Super delicious food, incredibly fresh fish, impeccable service, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. A special thanks to Silvana, the hostess: professional, kind, and incredibly sweet—she made us feel right at home! 🥰 Everything was perfect, and we received so many compliments from all the guests. An unforgettable day, made even more beautiful thanks to you! From Elisabetta Stanley and Luna

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.

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

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