I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

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)

07/10/2025: I don't know if Koreans will visit this place, but it's reasonably priced, delicious, and good. The view is also great, and the staff are friendly. Everything is perfect. Please refer to the photos for the atmosphere.

01/09/2025: Terrible service, super rude and above all indifferent staff. Basically they offered pitiful service with rudeness, a winning combination. It's a shame they can't give zero stars.

04/10/2025: Beautiful setting on the sea front, we had a whole sea bass with sides, superb. Was fun to watch the elderly owners orchestrating service, making sure everything ran smooth and it did. Loved Otranto loved this restaurant

28/09/2025: Restaurant on the seafront promenade, pleasant service with very friendly and smiling staff. Excellent food, pasta cooked al dente!!!! Very good..... Superb sea view For a good time on a well-placed terrace...... A must-do...

05/10/2025: Varied menu with plenty of choices, unique dishes, and a beautiful location! I highly recommend it.

30/09/2025: The restaurant is welcoming, with generally good food and friendly staff. Unfortunately, however, the tuna had an unusual flavor, and after eating it, both my brother and I felt unwell for several days. I find such a lack of control over food freshness unacceptable.

14/07/2025: I bought a surprise package from the app and wasted €15. It was a really bad experience. They sell leftover garbage from the day before in a surprise bag. I'm embarrassed to pay for something so stale.

16/10/2025: At 2:30 pm the cafe was already closed, but the sign said it was supposed to be open until 3:30 pm.

17/09/2025: A guarantee! Every dish is excellent! The owners are friendly and kind. Compliments. Highly recommended.
