I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

07/11/2025: Very well-stocked butcher shop. Excellent quality meat and always fresh produce.

26/06/2025: Cleanliness, seriousness and availability towards the customer. I will return with pleasure!

03/08/2025: Nice atmosphere, clean and welcoming, young, dynamic service, fresh food (and frozen, depending on the product). Worth a try, especially for young people.

20/09/2025: There was only one waitress (zooming around!) so it was half an hour before ordering, which seemed longer when hungry! Food was fairly good but dollops of marmite with beef is seriously lazy cheffing and not very nice! Seemed a little bit of Emperor’s new clothes to be honest - would not recommend in a country where food is taken seriously… wines were great

19/09/2025: An exceptional little restaurant in the center of Lecce, on a secluded street. The atmosphere and food are truly superb.

18/10/2025: I couldn't book because no one answered

14/09/2025: We recommend taking a short detour to Vernols to find or try some pizza. It's very good and the staff is super friendly and multilingual.

06/11/2025: Excellent food, I'm sorry to say, but as a pizzeria, everything needs to be revisited, from the dough to the cooking. I would have preferred not to order it rather than leave it. I'd like to point out to the pizza chef that it was cooked at biscuit temperature on the bottom and raw on top. NB: It's a beautiful place, the staff are wonderful at serving and always smiling, the food is truly good. I hope this message comes across in a constructive and not destructive way. Congratulations, I highly recommend it.

26/10/2025: Nice place, but I think I ate one of the worst pizzas of my life, despite the incredibly long wait (over an hour and a half for a buffalo mozzarella). Very sour tomato sauce, mediocre dough, and flavorless buffalo mozzarella. I had to resort to Gaviscon after eating it. A real shame. First and last time.

20/11/2025: Sammie to go, my hubbies favorite, the Italian grinder, loaded with various meats and cheeses, tomatoes, all the goodies. Fair price. I'll go back again. And again!

26/10/2025: Pizza was amazing!!! Waitress was friendly, and service great!!

24/10/2025: Most expensive drinks and food for the quality they provide. Apperol @ 8 EUR + 3 EUR copperta is a ripoff.. Tagliatelle at 28 EUR also on the high side. Quality is marginal. Wouldn't recommend

19/10/2025: Delicious food, friendly service, and good wine. They serve large glasses of wine. Cozy patio with a heater (great for autumn, so we could still sit outside).

02/11/2025: I'm giving it a total of 4 because the reception staff, restaurant staff, bar staff, and kitchen staff are wonderful! Kind, helpful, and hardworking, they welcome you with courtesy and so much professionalism and kindness! And they know how to do their job very well! Unlike the owners, starting with Mr. Alosi Sr., his wife, and daughter, who, alas, are snobbish and don't even notice you. If you say hello, they barely return your greeting, or better yet, they just walk by (heads up and silent), not even a smile! But back to the point: a former motel converted into a hotel... I stayed there for 8 days (I left the property yesterday, November 1st). We had to change the first room because it hadn't been cleaned. They assigned me another room that was supposed to be better, but instead, no comment! (I won't post photos for privacy reasons, but I have everything documented). And this is where the skill and professionalism of the staff comes into play: the front desk intervenes promptly, they try to make you feel comfortable and not leave. Because believe me, I had already paid for my stay as soon as I arrived at the hotel, but I had to leave. Leave for the rooms, nothing else. Lastly, the food is good, the breakfast is decent, and the location is strategic, even though the gas station is just a few meters from the hotel entrance. And if you can sleep on a spring mattress that was provided to the post-war barracks, if you can store your clothes in a room without a closet, if you don't sleep on the parking lot side, where the sounds of the car wrecking yard start behind you as early as 3-4 a.m., then okay... I repeat, the guys, the kitchen staff, the waiters, and the reception are the best! Our heartfelt thanks to them and best wishes for success in life; you are unique and made our stay in Lecce memorable! 🫶

20/10/2025: Very good value for money. It's far from the center, but there's a bus at the door that takes you there.

23/10/2025: Simply fantastic. Starting at 3:00 p.m., the restaurants in Otranto go into siesta. The small bistro Il Maestrale remains open. It's a great atmosphere. A beautiful view of the small marina. The food is delicious. The service is very attentive and friendly. A definite recommendation.

18/10/2025: Cool place - atmospheric with nice music and heating, very good service, snacks ok 👍🏻

21/08/2025: I stumbled upon Bar New Tandem in Cavallino almost by chance while looking for some sweets for my mother-in-law, who was taking them with her to Naples. It was around 9:00-9:30 in the morning, so a fairly normal time for breakfast, but upon entering, I immediately noticed that the display case, despite being very large, was almost empty: just a few pasticciottos and a few other sweets. I must admit that the initial impression wasn't the best, especially considering the place is quite well-known and well-reviewed online. Luckily, we managed to grab the last pasticciottos available, which we tried right away and took away. And I must say, the product itself is truly delicious: the crumbly pastry, the perfectly sweet cream, and a flavor that reveals the quality of the ingredients and the artisanal craftsmanship. This is precisely why it's even more disappointing not to have found a larger display case, because it's natural to think how unfortunate it would be to limit yourself to trying just a couple of desserts when the entire lineup is probably truly worth it. The prices are fair, and the staff was friendly and helpful, which definitely adds to the overall experience. All in all, I'd say the place is worth a visit, but perhaps it's best to go at a slightly later time than I did, when the sweets are fully stocked. If you happen to be passing through Cavallino, it's definitely worth stopping by and sampling their products, starting with the pasticciotto, which remains a guaranteed success.

25/08/2025: I'd like to sincerely thank the owners and all the staff at Agriturismo Santa Chiara. They were always kind and helpful, ready to help us or check in. They offered us a beautiful room overlooking the pool. The included breakfast was delicious, with a nice mix of sweet and savory. Sometimes the lady cooks for guests, and I must say she's truly excellent. I absolutely recommend staying there for dinner, as it was a delicious and warm experience. The agriturismo is large and welcoming, perfect for taking photos or reading a book while relaxing in the sun by the pool. I found a bit of my hometown in them, as they are family-like, kind, and welcoming—just what I was looking for in southern Italy. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe, and welcoming place.

23/08/2025: A charming place surrounded by nature for a completely relaxing holiday. We were welcomed by kind and helpful hosts who catered to our every need. Close to wonderful beaches.

21/07/2025: As a non-fish lover, I can assure you that coming here, in Puglia, is an EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED. A wide selection of products (all fresh, of course), you choose the cooking method, there's also sushi, and above all, it's COMPLETELY GLUTEN-FREE, meaning it's heaven for those with celiac disease.

20/07/2025: Fresh and good fish, a little expensive

22/08/2025: As far as I'm concerned, it's an experience I'll never forget...terrible, from the food to the welcome...I would have preferred the owners to say, "I can't accommodate you." It would have been a gift to us. I strongly advise you to reconsider your planning.

20/08/2025: Impeccable service and excellent food. Welcoming atmosphere. I recommend it to everyone.

23/08/2025: The rooms aren't much, but the pool is large and beautiful. The residence is a wonderful place to stay, and it's just steps from Baia dei Turchi. The location is excellent and the place is very, very beautiful.

17/07/2025: The rooms and bathrooms need renovation...the pool is top notch and the outdoor spaces and parking are excellent too.
