I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/10/2024: Last day in Italy, end of September 2024. Lovely beach and thought we would eat fresh fish. Had to take a photo of the menu, then enter personal details (??) and order. No, only plated dishes were still available. Fifteen minutes later now. Ambitions completely adjusted and ordered 2 simple dishes. Was okay. Pay at the bar, but there is a line of 4 for ice cream, coffee, etc. Bill after 10 minutes of waiting. Three wrongs. In short, how should this be done in high season? 🙈

30/09/2024: If only we could give a sixth star!!! for this sensational discovery I would put it firmly! Arriving by chance yesterday in the early afternoon for a little something to drink...and then seeing the wonderful dishes cooked by this BRAVIOUS Chef we stopped for lunch...Very kind, patient, polite and very fast staff!! Exceptional dishes!!!! I've never eaten so well (yet I'm a foodie and travel around Puglia far and wide...) What can I say...WHO LEAVES YOU ANYMORE!!!! PRAISEABLE AND THANK YOU!!!! for the beautiful memory of you and your professionalism! Rita and Stefano.

27/09/2024: Delicious pizza at normal prices that you can hardly find in the old town anymore.

21/09/2024: Swordfish killed and without flavor, came from the ocean. ..............

06/11/2024: posizione stupenda ,locale molto interessante e buona scelta di opzioni vegetariane e vegane, particolare anche la selezione di birre

04/10/2024: Servizio cordiale. Non abbiamo capito perché usare i calici da vino per la birra, ma era comunque buona! La scelta del cibo era particolare ma confusa, dovrebbe essere più in linea con lo stile del locale. Per il resto tutto buono, bella atmosfera e buona scelta di proposte plant based.

15/04/2025: I was there for an event. Beautiful location, the menu preparation has some sore points but nothing that can't be remedied with a little care

11/01/2025: We chose Tenuta Caradonna to celebrate my aunt Rita's 60th birthday, and we couldn't have asked for a better place for such a special occasion. The atmosphere was enchanting, elegant but welcoming, perfect for bringing the family together in an environment of absolute relaxation. The menu was impeccable, a journey through authentic and refined flavours. The Caradonna starters kicked off the lunch with an explosion of flavour, followed by two unforgettable first courses: the strozzapreti with seafood delicacies, very fresh and tasty, and the pappardelle with porcini mushrooms, crunchy speck, saffron cream and robiola, a rich and well-balanced dish. The second course, a slice of Gallipoli-style swordfish accompanied by prawns in kataifi and a garden of vegetables, was a true work of art, both in presentation and taste. To finish, french fries for the little ones, fresh fruit, sorbet and a delicious cake rounded off a memorable lunch. Special thanks go to Antonio, the Director who served us with great professionalism and extraordinary kindness. He helped make lunch even more pleasant, anticipating our every need with an ever-present smile. Tenuta Caradonna exceeded all our expectations: excellent food quality, impeccable service and truly rare customer attention. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to celebrate an important event in a place that conveys warmth and refinement. A heartfelt thank you for making Aunt Rita's birthday an unforgettable memory!

09/04/2025: Rather retro environment, certainly deliberately refined, certainly not chic, but high-level starters, first and second courses, all organic products. The friendliness of the owner completes everything. I will definitely go back. Fully satisfied.

30/12/2024: A very family restaurant... genuine people and excellent cuisine... we are a young couple but to celebrate our love we always go to them, where we feel at home and very pampered.

27/10/2024: As an aperitif café there is no comparison in the neighbourhood..

25/01/2025: One of the best coffees in the Lecce area. TOP

15/04/2025: Atypical decor and local cuisine at affordable prices.

14/04/2025: The food was average, the fried appetizer was anonymous, the orecchiette were insignificant, the fantasia di nonna tetti was acceptable, the turcinieddhri were good, the bread was terrible, the primitivo di Manduria wine was excellent, the total bill was out of proportion for what you got, the service was very friendly, the location on the upper floor was splendid, the bathrooms were terrible.

14/04/2025: Nice and welcoming atmosphere, the staff is very friendly. The pizza was excellent and the service was fast even though the place was full.

06/04/2025: Lovely waitresses - I'm delighted to have been able to enjoy a lactose and gluten free pizza. I recommend!!

17/03/2025: Si mangia buonissimo e simpaticona la ragazza Martina nn c'è posti più belli e cameriere simpatiche così si mangia buonissimo lo consiglio

16/03/2025: Well done Martina, we will be back.

13/03/2025: Mediocre quality take away food paid as if he cooked cracco... but please

09/02/2025: Always friendly and professional staff, excellent coffee and breakfast

15/03/2025: Ideal place for those with a sweet tooth for all types of desserts made well and....with fair prices and excellent service. Whether you stay there or take them home it's definitely worth the stop, thanks.

29/12/2024: I only reviewed the FOOD category because I was lucky enough to taste some fabulous sweets with grape jam, given to me by a friend…. Even though I was 1400km away, I felt at home and unlocked a childhood memory. ♥️ The only flaw is the transparent letterhead which, when placed upside down, makes it difficult to read the name of the pastry shop... But it becomes negligible when you are surrounded by the taste of pastries! Recommended 💫💫💫💫💫

15/04/2025: "Una garanzia! Sushi davvero squisito!!Qualità ottima e qualità del pesce eccelsa! Atmosfera molto rilassante,,location affascinante e il personale veramente preparato e gentile.Bravi"

11/04/2025: Ho pranzato con la mia famiglia domenica 6 aprile . Per noi è stata la prima volta, all’accoglienza ci siamo sentiti subito a nostro agio Gloria ci ha fatto accomodare al primo piano del bistrot. Il pranzo è iniziato con dei ricci e dei crudi freschissimi, l’ antipasto (ottimo) ed un primo con la cernia, sublime. I nostri ragazzi invece hanno degustato un sushi con la S maiuscola! Ci hanno spiegato che non aggiungono glutammato nei loro piatti in quanto hanno a disposizione la materia prima eccellente in quanto grossisti di prodotti ittici ( ittica demar). Ciliegina sulla torta i dolci della loro pasticceria. Torneremo prestissimo . Bravissimi continuate così.

14/04/2025: Fantástica cocina local, muy auténtica. El propietario era muy agradable y explicó los hechos sobre los platos. Las pastas eran fantásticas!

21/03/2025: Gita di famiglia a Lecce, con anche un piccolo cagnolino (che e' stato ammesso senza problemi). Cercavamo un locale in zona relativamente centrale, con cucina pugliese, che non richiedesse di accendere un mutuo. Abbiamo prenotato questo locale, che e' a distanza pedonale dal centro. Il cibo e' risultato veramente ottimo, dalla tartare di scottona, ai primi tradizionali. Il servizio molto veloce. Le porzioni non sono abbondanti, ma neanche risicate: sara' perche' era tutto molto buono, ma un po piu' di quantita' non ci sarebbe dispiaciuta. Il prezzo di listino e' nella norma dei locali di Lecce che abbiamo visionato (quindi un po' caro rispetto agli standard a cui siamo abituati), ma grazie allo sconto TheFork, il conto e' stato molto conveniente, con un rapporto costo/qualita' eccellente. Se torneremo a Lecce, sicuramente ripasserremo da questo locale.

06/10/2024: Antipasti plate of the house very very good!!!! A highlight of the holiday in terms of taste. Great view Reasonable prices. Very good service

03/09/2024: Magnificent view of the sea, the service is pleasant, reasonable price, too bad the cuisine is so basic.
