I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

03/01/2026: A nice place right in the city center, but some things could be improved. The food isn't bad, but it's not a memorable flavor either. The service is generally good, but having friends order ahead of the owner can be annoying. In our case, we had to wait 40 minutes for a coffee because a table right next to ours passed us simply because they were friends of the owner.

26/12/2025: A very charming place, if it weren't for the terrible service and the extremely low quality of the dishes. Entering a restaurant in the historic center, you'd expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere, but instead you find yourself in a place with no heating at all, no background music, a barking dog in the owners' restaurant, and a crowd of unsavory people using illicit substances right outside. I ordered a house appetizer, which is usually homemade, but as is often the case, it was a flavorless, low-quality frozen product. Not to mention the first course, which was trulli with basil pesto, dried tomatoes, and burrata. When it arrived, it was soaked in a sea of ​​basil oil, and it felt like pasta with olive oil. I don't mean to sound squeamish, but you can't serve dishes like that and leave them untouched without receiving feedback from the owner who was waiting the tables about the various remaining dishes. And as if that weren't enough, there was no coffee, sweet or bitter, to serve to your customers. Places like this should be on the tourist radar, as our baroque city of Lecce is. Entrepreneurs who think they have the skills to launch themselves into the restaurant world are a disgrace to the people who visit you.

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...

30/08/2025: A beautiful restaurant, with good food and a quality chef. Greetings from Portugal.

13/07/2025: Great place for families and excellent pizzas. Recommended

09/11/2025: Excellent seafood cuisine, try the seafood lasagna.

11/10/2025: My husband and I went there at the end of September. Words fail to describe the owner's kindness and professionalism, and the exceptional staff, especially Giovanni, and even the owners' children. The food was delicious, and the chef was excellent. We'll be back soon. We felt so pampered; we even celebrated our wedding anniversary, and they prepared everything so perfectly we almost cried. In short, everything was exceptional.

16/12/2025: I'm only speaking from my experience. So, when we arrived, despite having booked a table for five at 9:30 PM (via text), no one had noted our reservation. The appetizers arrived after about 40 minutes, and to top off the experience, some of us had our pizzas arrive at 11:16 PM, while those who had ordered sandwiches saw them arrive after another 20 minutes. After a two-hour wait, in my opinion, you'll definitely lose your appetite. The quality of the dishes was also decent, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for those in a hurry. In my very humble opinion, the kitchen, in addition to having an enormous menu, isn't capable of handling so many guests... otherwise, there wouldn't have been a two-hour wait.

25/11/2025: We visited this pizzeria and really appreciated the large outdoor space, perfect for summer evenings. The atmosphere is nice, but the service leaves a bit to be desired; there were probably too many customers and the staff couldn't keep up with everything. The wait was also quite long. The pizzas are good, though nothing exceptional.

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.

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

14/09/2025: A very nice surprise....delicious sweet and savory pizzas...pleasant and friendly welcome.....we highly recommend...thanks to the whole team!

02/01/2026: The atmosphere is super welcoming, warm, elegant, and makes you feel at ease. The service is friendly, attentive, but not intrusive. The chef is excellent.

21/10/2025: Excellent for spending an evening with friends, with quality food and courteous and professional staff... recommended!

14/10/2025: Perfect early start at 6:30 with delicious warm sweet pastries and coffee.

17/09/2025: We were there for a short break and had ice cream, which was really good; the staff were very kind. Two days later, early in the morning because it was time to leave, we had breakfast there, and the cappuccino and pasticciotto were excellent. I recommend it...

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.

03/08/2025: We stopped by chance, but it was a pleasant dinner... we waited a bit, but it was due to the lack of staff, which the owner immediately clarified, but it was pleasantly rewarded by the good pizza and the courtesy of the staff. We will definitely be back!

29/06/2025: Pizzeria Da Luigi - Where "Not the Best" Still Means Amazing (Because... Italy) In Tricase, saying a pizza place isn’t the best is like saying your Ferrari isn’t the fastest, it’s still a Ferrari. Pizzeria Da Luigi serves up a solid, delicious, can’t-go-wrong kind of pizza. Maybe it's not the single best slice in town, but honestly? That’s like ranking Michelangelo’s sculptures, some preferences are just personal. The crust is crispy, the ingredients are fresh, and the vibe is proper local. You leave satisfied, full, and wondering if you’re just a little too spoiled by Italy. If this exact pizza landed anywhere else in the world, they’d crown Luigi emperor and name a national holiday after him. But in Tricase? It’s just Tuesday.

03/02/2026: Nice little place, quiet to spend time with friends and family, very good pizzas, exquisite desserts, friendly staff.

20/01/2026: Excellent restaurant nestled in the Salento countryside. The appetizers are delicious, especially the fried cod.

05/04/2025: You can stay inside and outside in the open and green

16/12/2025: Ikarus...a great place for evenings with friends...a playground just a few meters away for families with children. The scent of the sea just steps away and wood-fired pizza, the perfect combination for your romantic evening 😍

23/11/2025: Excellent service right on the beach. Affordable prices.
