I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

21/10/2025: I'd give the food 10 stars, the same goes for the service, but for the ambience, one star is a lot, even if the location isn't the best, but cats between customers' legs while eating are out of the question in 2025, at least for hygiene reasons. It's a shame about this feline freedom; otherwise, everything else is excellent. Congratulations. I hope this serves as a suggestion.

02/10/2025: Excellent and plentiful food, kind and professional staff, spectacular service

02/10/2025: Disappointing cocktail and gloomy atmosphere 😞, I don't recommend it

01/10/2025: I was extremely satisfied with my experience. I found the service impeccable and the staff incredibly kind and helpful. The quality of the food is superb: I tried both the pizza and the meat, both excellent and cooked to perfection. The real added value of this place is that it caters to every need: it's ideal for everyone, including those with lactose or gluten intolerances. It's truly rare to find a place that is so attentive to every type of customer! I highly recommend it and can't wait to return.

24/10/2025: Very disappointed. Tasteless bowl, just salad, 3 pieces of mango, 3 pieces of avocado, and 3 cashews... For 14 euros... shameful!

18/10/2025: Great drinks and friendly staff!

28/09/2025: Excellent pizza and excellent cuisine, very nice atmosphere

16/08/2025: Delicious pizza, friendly staff, and short wait time! Well done 👏🏻

12/10/2025: We dined at the Gandula Restaurant in Cesate, a charming location surrounded by a large green space, making it an ideal destination for important events such as weddings, first communions, and so on. The restaurant has a welcoming indoor dining room, a covered outdoor area, and—the real highlight—a vast, illuminated garden that creates a magical atmosphere. The service is attentive, and the menu is simple yet sophisticated. We ordered risotto with ossobuco (very good) and excellent paccheri with cherry tomatoes and stracciatella. We will definitely return to try the cotoletta alla milanese: we saw some magnificent ones paraded between the tables, and it will be our next stop. Although some dishes are a bit pricey, the quality of the cuisine and the ambiance are worth the visit.

11/10/2025: A week after our wedding at this beautiful location, I can begin by saying that it has become a special place for us. From the moment we first arrived at Gandula, we felt a connection with Maddalena, who listened to us and accommodated us in every way (until the day before, I had some people in doubt due to health problems, and even then she was super, which is not a given). The wedding day was perfect and magical, from the ceremony to the aperitif to the lunch. All our guests complimented us on everything! We were happy and thrilled because everything was perfect! A huge thank you to Maddalena and all the staff, thank you for making our dream come true! Your spouses Silvia and Lorenzo

28/09/2025: Unfortunately, the service was very poor, with long waits and no communication at all. Even upon arrival, we weren't even noticed for a long time. The food was good, but the price (mixed appetizer platter) was too expensive for the product.

24/09/2025: Great food, great service! We were very happy with the pasta. Highly recommend the Carbonara.

07/09/2025: Great pizza served by the meter. Dessert is also delicious.

15/08/2025: Invited by friends to spend an evening, it wasn't difficult to find parking because the restaurant is located on a wide road on the edge of town. Service was relatively quick, welcoming us with a small plate of pittole. The pizzas (by the meter), light and well-cooked, were tasty. The price is PERHAPS a little (just a little) above average, but that's also due to the fact that, being an outdoor restaurant far from the town center, we found ourselves avoiding the August evening heat, and the children were able to play in the adjacent park.

25/05/2025: Decent assortment of sweets for breakfast although I expected much more choice. Good content of croissants, decent dough.

19/03/2025: I recommend it for an excellent coffee, but also excellent aperitifs.

19/08/2025: As always, a guarantee...every time I come from Milan, even if it's far away, I come to Lecce for your top calzone!!!!!

12/08/2025: We ended up here by chance while looking for a quick pizza before visiting Lecce. Delicious pizza, perfect quality and quantity of ingredients! We also had the fried calzones. Everything was perfect. The owners? Fabulous and incredibly kind! Keep up the good work! Congratulations!

27/05/2025: Courteous and helpful staff. Quiet little place. Varied menu, with many first courses available, from meat to fish to pizzeria. I attach some photos of the dinner served in this restaurant. The pizza is cooked in a wood oven, and in winter there is the possibility of dining next to the lit fireplace, which makes this restaurant my absolute favourite. The pizza topped with onion, dried tomatoes and chips, tortelli with gratin cheeses baked, pappardelle with porcini mushrooms, seafood salad and frying. I forgot to photograph the pizza, thin and well seasoned. Stupendous.

22/04/2025: The food is good and the atmosphere is welcoming and homely.

06/09/2025: The best focaccia ever! Not to mention the coconut and chocolate taralli. We'll be back!

27/10/2025: I often go to this bar to drink and have found the coffee to be excellent. The staff is professional, friendly, and courteous, and always greets you with a warm smile. Highly recommended...

22/08/2025: The pasticciotto is excellent (we're not from the area so we're not experts, but they're very good)
