I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

17/02/2025: 5 of us went for lunch, we ordered various things, the food was really very good but a dish that we had asked for twice didn't arrive, furthermore when we asked for the menus (since the online one wasn't working for us) they responded in a rude and annoyed way. The waitress often looked at us, perhaps because we were all 5 minors, but this does not justify treating us sufficiently. I would also like to point out that at the end, when paying, instead of giving us twenty-seven euros in change they only gave us 15, DISRESPECTFUL, we were in a very hurry because of the bus and that's why they managed to cheat us. How do you think about fooling kids?

14/02/2025: Exceptional food although there was little variety. The waiter boy is difficult to communicate because he barely speaks Italian and he had to call the other girl who spoke little more Italian

05/03/2025: Siamo stati a cena durante cammino del Salento, siamo stati consigliati da un negozietto del luogo, attratti dal menù del giorno dobbiamo dire di aver fatto ottima scelta, rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo come anche la cordialità, se non fosse per i più di mille chilometri che ci separano, ci torneremo sicuramente.

03/01/2025: Siamo andati x caso in questo ristorante ma è stata un’ottima esperienza! Personale gentile e servizio perfetto, gentili anche con i bimbi. Abbiamo preso spaghetti alle vongole e linguine frutti di mare, molto ben condite e porzioni giuste! Anche i secondi molto buoni, abbiamo ordinato frittura mista e polpo su purè di fave davvero ottimi! Tempismo del servizio ottimo. Sui dolci non tanta scelta ma comunque buoni. Assolutamente consigliato.

12/03/2025: Very nice beach with very convenient parking! Excellent restaurant!

16/10/2024: Location esclusiva sul mare con ombrelloni e ristorante sulla spiaggia. Ottimo pranzo con pesce fresco dove si può accedere anche con bambini molto piccoli, personale accogliente e preparato.

01/02/2025: Excellent choice, pizza by the meter for 4 people, very very good. Try the craft beers, fast and very friendly service

19/11/2024: Last night we went to eat a pizza in this place, 4 adults and a 7 year old girl. We took a small appetizer plate (two slices of courgettes, two slices of aubergines, two mozzarella cherries, two fried potatoes) 12 euros. A meter of mixed pizza, 27 euros, they didn't have loose wine, they didn't have beer in 66 bottle bottles, forced to Draft beer. 3 medium, is 3 small. 86.50 is an authorized scam.

26/09/2024: Das Personal und der Inhaber sind sehr freundlich. Das Essen war von guter Qualität. Wir würden hier wieder Essen gehen.

06/09/2024: Da originario del posto sono tornato a mangiare in questo locale. Cibo locale e non solo, molto apprezzato e vario: dalle pizze ( anche gourmet) alla cucina tipica, tutto molto buono. Staff gentilissimo capitanato dal grande Gino! Consigliatisdimo!

23/02/2025: Very long wait, for a pizza, 2 and a half hours before it was served to us, even though the reservation had been made at the beginning of the week they put us in a cold room.

07/01/2025: Esperienza pessima. Servizio imbarazzante e cibo assolutamente da rivedere. Grigliata mista surgelata e carne alla brace cruda ( non al sangue ). Sconsiglio vivamente!

16/03/2025: Very good and light pizza, great prices, fast service

04/01/2025: Very friendly and helpful staff...frittini, sandwiches, pizzas and desserts all of excellent quality...even the bill was right...I recommend it and we will definitely return.

05/03/2025: The waitress didn't even smile, actually annoyed because there were too many of us... The pinsa is good... but it can be found everywhere... no particularity... Starters arrive 1 dish every 15 minutes... Very slow cooking despite the empty place...

13/02/2025: Excellent food: large variety of pinse, all delicious, which are the main product served. Digestible doughs and quality ingredients. The definition of "tavern" is rather misleading. Too bad about the service, which absolutely needs to be reviewed: from the entrance to the payment, rude staff who pay little attention to the customer's needs; at times the feeling is that of being an unwelcome guest. Price perhaps a little high, but it could be there if the service was adequate. Sin.

25/01/2025: Nice place, average pizza but exaggerated prices, too bad

04/01/2025: Very welcoming location and helpful staff. The frittini are very welcome, for the pizzas I urge you to improve the filling ingredients. However I recommend it

22/10/2024: TOP service! Aperitifs, snacks and menu dishes, dreamlike just a few meters from the sea!

25/09/2024: Giornata di relax .siamo stati qui una giornata ci siamo trovati bene ,e non abbiamo trovato L arroganza che qualcuno dice ,tutto sommato abbiamo passato una giornata piacevole ,ritorneremo,grazie

14/12/2024: Delicatessen and breakfast of the highest quality, the owner is an exquisite person. I highly recommend it

10/12/2024: History of the pastry chef in Arnesano, the indisputable quality... the environment is history... and it's beautiful for this reason!!!

16/02/2025: Excellent bar with an exceptional view. Cristian is a professional person but above all kind and attentive to the customer's needs, a plus for this bar.

09/02/2025: Excellent sweet-savory mix Delicious calzones and pastries!! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Well done 👏👏

20/09/2024: Lovely couple and their daughter, made us feel so welcome, coffee perfect! Delicious croissants etc

17/09/2024: I recently had a rather disappointing experience at the "Caffè Oriente di Micella Paola Giovanna" bar in San Cesario di Lecce, and I feel the duty to share it to warn other potential customers. Poor Service First, the service was extremely poor. The owners seemed annoyed by any request, and their irritability was palpable. When I asked for information about the products, I was answered with disdain, as if my questions were a nuisance. Such an attitude is not acceptable in a place that should be welcoming and hospitable. Exaggerated prices As for the prices, they are really exorbitant compared to the quality of the service and products offered. I ordered a cappuccino and a pasticciotto with cream and jam, and was surprised to find that they also charged me for the glass of water that accompanied the drink. This is truly unacceptable! Disappointing mess The pasticciotto, which should be a highlight of the place, turned out to be a big disappointment. The jam clearly predominated over the cream, making the dessert unbalanced and unsatisfying. I expected a harmonious taste experience, but unfortunately this was not the case. Lack of Comfort Furthermore, I noticed that there were not even tissues on the table to clean your hands, a detail that may seem insignificant, but which actually contributes to the overall comfort of the customer. This additional element made the experience even more unpleasant. Conclusion In conclusion, I strongly advise against consuming at the "Caffè Oriente di Micella Paola Giovanna" bar in San Cesario di Lecce. The service is poor, the prices are exaggerated and the quality of the products does not justify the expense at all. There are other places in the country that offer better service and a warmer welcome. Avoid this place if you are looking for a pleasant experience!

04/01/2025: Piatti gustosi, ottimamente preparati e in porzioni anche troppo abbondanti. Servizio attento e sollecito. Ristorante dall ‘ atmosfera famigliare. Dopo 20 giorni di permanenza in Salento e innumerevoli ristoranti sperimentati, di varie categorie, ritengo molto favorevole il rapporto qualità prezzo de “La Lanterna”. Consigliatissimo. Mi permetto solo un suggerimenti per migliorare ancora di più l’esperienza e che riguardano esclusivamente la sala: con il massimo rispetto per chi li ha dipinti, ma i quadri che decorano le pareti sono di qualità più che modesta. Allora meglio delle foto (ma professionali!) o degli specchi con belle cornici o, al limite, le pareti bianche. Io, comunque, all’occasione ci tornerò perché il cuoco e il personale tutto … merita.

14/09/2024: Continueremo ad andarci ogni qualvolta ci troveremo a San Foca e ogni qualvolta saremo nel Salento, anche se si tratterà di fare molti chilometri! Ottime pietanze di pesce , antipasti da gustare con pane saporito e primi spettacolari! Gentilezza top !

15/03/2025: I regretfully have to express our latest experience at this place. Let me start by saying that we are regular customers, in the sense that we go for lunch once/twice a week! In the last two months, just because a good friendship was created with a waiter, every time we crossed the threshold of the place we were laughed at and made fun of!!! (I would be called, your friend) Dishes that arrive on the table flying, thrown by a waitress and then run away. Competition between colleagues! They shout at each other that everything can be heard in the room. We place the first order as always and everything is ok! at the second order we notice something strange in the Philadelphia, we point it out and the owner, and the kitchen staff shout and abstain that by now they have prepared them and we had to eat them! Summary we all felt bad!!!! I just want to remind the owner that the customer should not be treated like this, and if the waiter entertains the customer with a few friendly chats it is synonymous with education and humility! reluctantly never again!!!!

05/02/2025: Very nice and welcoming location. The cuisine is very good and the dishes well presented. Each table is equipped with a tablet to browse the menu and order independently. Good and fast service. With the All you can eat formula you can taste everything.
