I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/10/2025: Fantastic and welcoming... as if you were at home

11/09/2025: The owner pretends to be friendly, it's a typical foreign tourist spot, the fish is frozen, I don't recommend the appetizer recommended by the owner or the waiters; for me, it's an insult to Italian and Salento cuisine, and Neapolitan neomelodic music is played throughout the meal. The owner slammed me for not being a football fan. Absolutely not recommended.

29/07/2025: Siamo stati in questo ristorante a cena con tutta la famiglia. È stata una meravigliosa scoperta. I camerieri gentilissimi e simpatici ci hanno accolti con limonata fresca. Dopo un gustoso amuse bouche, abbiamo gustato diversi piatti a base di pesce tutti abbondanti e ricercati. Ci ha sorpreso la quantità di pesce fresco presente in tutte le portate. Dall' antipasto al dolce è stata un' esperienza culinaria memorabile.

25/07/2025: Ieri, io e mia moglie, siamo andati a cenare, in codesto rinomato ristorante. Abbiamo ordinato due fritture Senza spine, 19,00 euro cadauno due contorni, uno di patate e l'altro misto di broccoli carciofi carote ecc. Un'acqua minerale naturale e un calice di vino rosato. Le fritture 19,00 euro cadauno, nella norma, senza infamia e Senza lode, il vino non particolare 7,00 un calice, acqua panna 3,00. Coperto 6,00. I contorni, rifiutati in quanto non mangiabili, pertanto la signora alla cassa , ha avuto l'onestà di non conteggiarli. Costo finale 54,00. Delusione, in base alle recensioni, ci saremmo aspettati altro. Peccato,forse era una serata storta, oppure ognuno ha il proprio livello.

27/11/2025: Spectacular quality. Highly recommended....

29/09/2025: Living in Minervino di Lecce, far from your office, I've only had the opportunity to try the grain-filled friselle baked in a wood-fired oven. Excellent product!

01/11/2025: Good restaurant, located in the heart of Lecce in the pedestrian zone near the cathedral; the dishes are delicious and original. The service is cordial, efficient, and friendly. The tuna tatacce was excellent; you can eat either outside on the terrace or inside, which is also nicely decorated.

29/10/2025: We spent a very pleasant evening at the Passo Duomo Food and wine was excellent at a very reasonable price and very friendly service We definitely recommend it

03/11/2025: I was at this restaurant during a party, and I have to say I had a really good time. I tried the pizzas, and they were delicious; you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The staff was very friendly, and it's nice to see the guys and girls who, despite being busy with their jobs, have such beautiful smiles, and you can tell they're happy with their work. Recommended, and I hope to return soon.

20/10/2025: We were honestly impressed by the quality of the pizza, soft and well-topped, and the fried foods, light and not at all greasy. We were on vacation in Porto Cesareo and this pizzeria was recommended to us; we've been back several times even though it's about ten minutes away.

30/11/2025: Very kind and helpful staff, excellent food.

21/11/2025: Yumi Apparently, they even go to the trouble of responding in kind to negative reviews, hoping to make those who check believe that everyone who writes is actually crazy. Today, November 21, 2025, I'll tell you my story: I called in the morning, at lunchtime, specifically asking for a private table upstairs and not at the counter, explaining that it was my son's birthday and that I'd prefer a private table so we could enjoy the moment. He asked me what time we'd arrive, specifying that, apparently, they work staggered hours. I scheduled it for 8:00 PM. When we arrived promptly, we found it closed; in fact, they opened at 8:10 AM. Finally, inside, they told us we had to move to the counter, still upstairs, since one of the only two private tables for four people had been taken and therefore couldn't be occupied. Naturally, I pointed out that I had specifically requested the table (otherwise, I swear, we would have gone elsewhere), and finally they sat us down. Now, do you think that's the end of it? Of course NOT! Between consulting the menu and having a cigarette, I reach my parents, whom I'd already told what I'd like, and ask if they'd ordered, but no: the waiter/waitress hasn't shown up... so I ask the young man, and his only response is to turn and approach the couple, who arrived much later, and take their order. Then, calmly (so the wait is now over half an hour), he approaches us to give us a hearing. You're already thinking you've reached your limit, but NO, we're still just getting started! After ordering quite a few dishes, repeating the order list, the food started to arrive but very slowly, so slowly that when, after at least half an hour, the birthday boy's dish hadn't arrived, we tried to be patient despite my son's hunger, so I started asking the waitress three times why, and she told me to go and ask, but nothing... at the fortieth minute I went down and spoke to the manager/waiter, who asked me what we had ordered 🤣🤣🤣 (here I laugh but I assure you I had to do everything not to go crazy), so I looked at him in astonishment and in response asked him if he had answered the phone call in the morning and that knowing it was the child's birthday, he would have realized! After another 10 minutes, he came back and told us that the dish would arrive in 5 minutes: the food arrived after a quarter of an hour... Do I need anything else to understand that I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT? Let's get to the ratings: - LOCATION 1 star: The place is small and smelly, so much so that you'd have to factor in the cost of laundry after the meal if you ever decided to go. The bathroom is small, horrible, messy, and dirty. - SERVICE 1 star: While I find it absurd to only have two people working in a full place, they were still distracted, absent, and rude, given their disregard for the birthday boy! I find this absurd and I don't accept the excuses I've been given repeatedly. - PRICES 1 star: The price is high for the average/low quality, for my overcooked ramen, and the salmon so red it looked colored: I find the prices presumptuous. I must say, however, that for the mess they made and the ruined birthday party, they gave us a small discount. P.S. If I had been able to speak to the owner, I wouldn't have hesitated: what happened today IS OUT OF THIS WORLD, but who knows what they'll say... I'm curious!

26/09/2025: Stopped in for breakfast at the counter and a small, tasty souvenir to take home. Stop by—excellent, tasty, reasonably priced, and the barista is very kind and courteous. Highly recommended... The pasticciotti are delicious...

14/10/2025: Not up to date with opening hours.... Great!

12/10/2025: Excellent food and friendliness

11/11/2025: 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.

09/11/2025: Embarrassing service! The wait staff was pushy and rude throughout, repeatedly dismissing our orders as "not profitable enough." This inappropriate behavior was capped off by the overall service when, when we asked for the bill without dessert, the waiter literally laughed in our faces, trivializing our request, along with his colleague. This serious flaw, which is completely at odds with the quality of the dishes, should be improved. We would have returned if we hadn't been given this terrible welcome.

01/08/2025: Durante una giornata di mare per ovviare ai soliti panini ed insalate abbiamo scelto Stella del mare per un piatto di pasta,servizio veloce abbiamo preso strozzapreti ai frutti di mare e orecchiette alla specchiese,vi consiglio entrambi e nell attesa abbiamo preso polpette di tonno deliziosissime

23/07/2025: Pesce freschissimo e di alta qualità, massima professionalità e attenzione per il cliente. Lo consiglio vivamente e ci ritornerò sicuramente.

21/10/2025: Great food! Gnocchi perfect and porcini pasta with mushrooms

09/10/2025: Dinner in this lovely setting. Service was quick, but the staff were unfriendly, almost annoyed by our presence. They served a variety of Salento dishes, but nothing special. The octopus meatballs were highly recommended.

27/11/2025: Good pizza in a quiet atmosphere. No cover charge. Excellent value. I recommend it.

24/11/2025: Excellent pizzas and fried foods, but their specialty—and believe me, I haven't found it anywhere else—is their second-to-the-minute accuracy with orders. We placed an order over the phone and had agreed to pick it up at 9:20 PM on a Sunday evening (I specify because the pizzeria was busy). Well, at 9:20 PM, they broke the clock and gave us our food. I've never experienced such punctuality. Highly recommended pizzeria.

16/11/2025: Terrible experience. I am, or rather, I was, a regular customer, but I won't be going there again. Customer honesty doesn't pay off. It's true that "the one who breaks the rules pays," but a little common sense every now and then doesn't hurt.

06/11/2025: I don't know what the hell they're doing at the supermarket entrance, and when they're at home, the burglar alarm goes off. Salary given away.

27/09/2025: Beautiful location suitable for weddings or large events. The food is decent, nothing special, the entertainment is excessive, noisy, and not very discreet...not my cup of tea.

21/09/2025: We celebrated our wedding at Tenuta Donna Sandra and it was a wonderful experience in every way. The location is splendid, well-maintained, and welcoming, making every moment of the day special. A special thanks to Michele and his daughter Marta for their kindness, availability, and professionalism: they looked after us with great attention and helped make our day unforgettable. We highly recommend Tenuta Donna Sandra to anyone looking for a unique and perfectly organized event.
