I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

27/09/2025: Braceria La Bottega della Carne is much more than just your average grill. Here, every dish exudes tradition: homemade pasta, authentic side dishes, and desserts prepared with timeless recipes. The meat is exquisite, carefully selected and cooked to perfection, capable of captivating even the most discerning palates. Grandpa Claudio will welcome you with his kindness and warmth, making you feel truly at home. The atmosphere is familiar, relaxed, and full of the kind of hospitality that is increasingly rare these days. A place that's more than just a dinner, but an experience: highly recommended for those seeking quality, tradition, and an authentic welcome. Greetings from Monopoli

24/09/2025: Claudio and Ivana, the two owners, are kind and helpful. They offer excellent quality dishes featuring typical Salento flavors. Orecchiette with turnip greens and lemon sorbet...unparalleled!!!!!

01/11/2025: We went to this lovely trattoria last Saturday and had a wonderful meal! Typical Salento cuisine with carefully prepared dishes. The homemade pasta is exceptional, as are the meat and vegetables. The service is friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

13/10/2025: I stopped by chance (in Puglia, the food is excellent, even by chance, ed.). It was empty, but only because not everyone stops in Lecce for lunch on a Monday. I ate very well, the grilled fish was excellent and very well cooked, with a mixed salad.

17/07/2025: Pizza eccezionale molto digeribile personale cordiale e professionale, posto tranquillo. Consiglio il posto ad altri.

14/07/2025: Consiglio le frittatine di pasta, sono veramente molto buone! Dopo l’antipasto ho mangiato la Pugliese ed era ottima. Si sentivano tutti i sapori: dalla marmellata di fichi al capocollo, fino alla burrata. Davvero buonissima! Abbiamo concluso la cena con la pizza fritta con sopra Nutella e crema. Dolce strepitoso! Avrei fatto volentieri il bis. Inoltre, il ragazzo che ci ha serviti è stato davvero educato e simpatico. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente!

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.

18/11/2025: Everything was excellent, the food was delicious. The owner was always attentive and friendly.

11/09/2025: Delicious food and delicious local beers! We'll be back!

20/11/2025: An excellent restaurant with a great atmosphere and a traditional fizika show from the Salento region

15/11/2025: I went to this restaurant for a business dinner, requesting a completely vegan meal. Even though the restaurant has a traditional feel, they adapted to my needs and offered a wide selection of delicious dishes! They were very attentive and thoughtful, making my experience excellent! I highly recommend it.

21/07/2025: Locale molto carino e personale gentilissimo , per non parlare della loro insalata di mare freschissima, veramente buona … peccato che non siamo della zona altrimenti verrei spesso a mangiare da Voi . Siamo veramente soddisfatti .. complimenti !

04/06/2025: Voor de 2e maal hier gegeten en was opnieuw super lekker. Je hoeft hier niet te zijn voor de hippe sfeer, sjiek of modern interieur. Maar voor een overheerlijke pizza met dunne deeg, lekkere huiswijn een bord met vlees dat smelt in de mond en vriendelijke bediening. Italiaanse keuken tussen locals.

29/05/2025: A place open even at night where you can find hot croissants at any time. If you are looking for a croissant with a nice puff pastry this is not the place for you, but if you want something exaggerated, maybe at four in the morning, this is definitely the place for you.

21/05/2025: Too good croissants, the best for me, warm and delicious cream, excellent prices, place needs a bit of modernization, I recommend it

25/10/2025: A great place for typical dishes Very pleasant and friendly waitress I recommend it 👍🏻

24/10/2025: Very nice place with outdoor tables where you can eat or have an aperitif while admiring the beautiful "living room" square of Nardò.

04/11/2025: Amazing restaurants, we got to select our beef, Pizzas are great and affordable as well 100% Recommended

27/10/2025: Very good wine at an affordable price (probably the cheapest in Otranto) 1l = 8e :) Delicious tiramisu! Pizza was okay.

26/08/2025: A trip to Lecce to see the city? To celebrate Sant'Oronzo? No. The wife is looking for a shop, in August, with the heat, the half-hour, and the children asking for the bathroom. I slip into an unknown and anonymous café that had struck me with its 1980s-style window. I meet Mr. Bruno, an octogenarian pastry chef, who tells me about his life and his desserts. A wonderful experience.

17/08/2025: The coffee was fantastic, the service was quick, and it was very local, from another era. The mini sfogliattela was delicious.

08/12/2025: We sat down for a drink. They brought us a triptych (that's what they called it, 3 little bowls: 1 with 5 taralli, 1 with 12 olives, and 1 empty little bowl). The waitress told us it was included with the three drinks, but at the cashier they made us pay for the duo...not just a triptych, €4.50.

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.

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!!!

29/09/2025: Everything was delicious, the prices were right.
