I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

21/09/2025: quiet, clean and well-maintained, great service

09/09/2025: The beach is accessible to four-legged friends. The low rating was due to lunch: two pasta dishes weighing under 50g each, and two fried dishes with water, two spritzes, for €115. But not even in a Michelin-starred restaurant would I have left feeling as hungry as I did here! Never again!!!

11/10/2025: A very charming location, nestled in the greenery of Salento. The staff is friendly, approachable, always available, and attentive to their customers. The food is excellent, from the delicious appetizers to the meticulously prepared, sophisticated, and even exquisite first courses, to the truly delicious second courses, especially the meat-based ones. Finally, the pizzas are simply worth trying, each one better than the last. Stop by and you'll be sure to be satisfied. First of all, I'd like to extend my compliments to the entire staff, and especially to Cosimo and Andrea, their excellent hosts.

07/10/2025: Succulent dish and local cuisine.

18/10/2025: Great bar near the sea, breakfast 🔝 aperitifs at 🔝 excellent staff 🥰

03/10/2025: While passing through during a motorcycle road trip, I came here for breakfast for three days. Excellent cappuccino and pastries. The waitresses were very kind and welcoming despite my difficulty with Italian.

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.

19/07/2025: Fantastic atmosphere, quality food, and great prices! They also have gluten-free options, suitable for those with intolerances or celiac disease! Compliments to the friendly staff, they make you feel right at home!

28/10/2025: Nice food, nice atmosphere, nice service — simple words, perfectly delivered. We spent a few hours in pure harmony, savoring both the dishes and the company. Highly recommend — proof that sometimes “nice” is exactly what you need.

20/10/2025: We found it by chance and were tempted by the burrata. Not knowing what to expect, we sat outside and ordered burrata and two glasses of wine. It was delicious, as was the kindness and friendliness of the waitress who served us. Highly recommended!

10/08/2025: My partner and I stopped by one evening for pizza and were charmed by the homemade pizza, the variety, the options for customization, the prices, and the owners 😄 Having different pizza preferences, we ordered a half-and-half, which turned out to be delicious and very generous with cheese (if you're not a fan, feel free to ask for less)! We also bought some absolutely sensational ham and cheese croccettas; we slightly regretted not having also bought the Nutella ones 😂 The prices were more than reasonable (€5.50 for the margherita, €2 for the croccetta). Everything is handmade by this lovely couple, yet their prices are lower than the frozen tourist food near the beaches 🥹 We spoke with the owner and he was lovely, with a wonderful attitude and a kind heart <3 We'll definitely come back!

29/08/2025: I came with a friend this evening. We tried an arancini with sausage and mushrooms, but I can assure you that their other flavors are spectacular too. I've ordered from them several times. I highly recommend them.

23/08/2025: Arancini of various types, all expertly made, served hot in a beautiful and welcoming setting. The owner is very kind and helpful. A special mention goes to their cannoli, filled to order with ricotta cheese flown directly from Palermo—simply fantastic. Recommended.

24/05/2025: Most people flock to the commercial spots in the center, but this place truly deserves a 5-star rating for its pasticciotto and coffee. The atmosphere is amazing, with a genuine local vibe that makes the experience special. The service is exceptional—friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. A big Bravo to the team at L'incontro for doing such a great job. I loved the place so much, that the next day I went again for a rustico 😋 don't miss it! PS: check out the puffs in the tall fridge on the right hand side, they're awesome!!!

25/04/2025: Great bar and excellent pasticciotti

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

24/05/2025: Poche 5 stelle per questo locale,dove il personale ( Gianfranco, Fabio,Eleonora e tutto il team) cibo,servizio e location, hanno reso la nostra cena un' esperienza indimenticabile! Noi ci ritorneremo presto,ma mi sento di consigliare a chi è nei dintorni di San Simone di provare questa esperienza!

26/03/2025: Bella location, personale gentile, ottimo cibo con piatti locali ben preparati e ben presentati. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliato!

31/10/2025: I haven't been there personally but my niece was a guest for an eighteenth birthday party and she spoke highly of it.

30/09/2025: What can I say? We've had a lot of ceremonies. Unfortunately, something ABSURD happened to me at my last ceremony. We booked in the main hall since February, but she called us back in September to decide on the menu, and the owner with whom we booked told us that the main hall was no longer available and that they had booked the room for other families. Well, I won't say anything else. A month before the ceremony, I have to find a venue. THANK YOU...

24/08/2025: Exceptional products (bread, puddings, and biscuits). For me, the best.

21/07/2025: The Pucci and strudel biscuits are excellent!

26/09/2025: Excellent food and friendly staff, unfortunately I do not recommend it in summer due to the heat and the lack of air conditioning, despite the presence of air conditioning.

18/09/2025: A very well-kept location surrounded by greenery. We dined in the interior of the farmhouse, and it's a truly charming setting. We had a wonderful meal, the food was top-quality, and the waiters were friendly! Recommended!!!

20/10/2025: Great pizza, delicious, fresh fried shrimp. I highly recommend it, come and see for yourself :-)

16/10/2025: I can recommend it. We ordered takeout and the pizzas on site. We received a warm welcome. While the pizza was being prepared, we were given small snacks, which were very good. The ingredients were freshly prepared, and the pizzas were fresh and delicious. I'll be back next time I'm in Castro. Thank you.
