I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

10/11/2025: Very satisfied. Very good food! I recommend the saffron ravioli with meat filling and the desserts! I would also include a side dish of your choice in the price of the cutlet. Excellent service, kind and attentive staff! We'll be back.

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.

06/09/2025: A charming place just outside Otranto, surrounded by Salento olive trees, where you can enjoy excellent fresh seafood dishes and more. Welcoming and professional family management. Thanks to Manuel, Ivo, and family for a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!

06/09/2025: An unforgettable place, excellent and fresh food, the best in the area...I highly recommend it and thank all the staff for their hospitality and professionalism, especially their son Manuel, who always puts his heart into what he does. Highly recommended.

07/12/2025: The pizza was very thin and very moist in the center, and the fried appetizers were all frozen. Never again to Vesuvius.

16/11/2025: The Neapolitan croquettes made by them, not frozen, are excellent. The pizza is delicious, the Faista is impeccable...

02/10/2025: Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious, beyond my wildest dreams! I was absolutely delighted… and I still dream of eating another piece!

07/09/2025: A quality artisanal pastry shop with an adjoining café. You enter an artisanal workshop open to all and experience the quality firsthand. I think it's one of the absolute best in all of Salento.

24/07/2025: I eat there every day, the home cooking is spectacular. Great company. Recommended.

11/06/2025: I came in to have a snack, or asked for two sandwiches with mortadella that were already ready, and inside the sandwich a green fly, how disgusting, the food on the counter was not protected, he put the film on it after having reported it, never again

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

08/08/2025: I ate the truly exceptional Salento puccia this evening.

18/10/2025: If you've ever dreamed of a timeless experience, where the concept of quick service is treated like an urban legend, this is the perfect place for you. I ordered a sandwich—not a gala dinner, not a 12-course tasting menu, but a sandwich—and after more than an hour, I'm starting to develop an emotional bond with the table. The staff is kind... in the sense that they ignore you with an almost artistic grace. Maybe they're still teaching bread the meaning of the word "toasted," or maybe they're personally raising the cow for the cheese—I don't know, maybe it's the hallucinogenic effects of the wait. In any case, congratulations: not everyone can transform a simple dinner into a forced meditation experience. When it finally arrives, I look at it: plot twist! It's identical to the one my mother makes me at home. Only at hers it takes me five minutes, and there's even a goodnight kiss included in the service. If you want to explore the limits of human patience, book here. Bring a book. Or two.

09/08/2025: We went to this place for dinner with friends (nine of us). We were served by a young man who was a novice and did a great job despite his obvious awkwardness. The menu is definitely TOO long; none of us really read it, but we chose based on our instincts. I'm sure that if it were slimmed down a bit, it would be better for the manager, waiters, and chef, as well as the customers. Everything was good, but the most absurd thing is the rock-bottom prices. I can't understand how they can keep them so low. We spent €12 each and couldn't finish everything, despite how generous the portions were! The atmosphere is certainly not that of a romantic dinner, but for an evening with friends without too many expectations, it's perfect!

21/10/2025: Very good restaurant with design, no sandwich, as well as a bar on the other side personal, smiling, welcoming, very beautiful, decoration A sufficient variety of products an impressive generosity on the meat for a very cheap price 3-4€ for a sandwich overflowing with filling)

26/09/2025: Trattoria in Porto Badisco, one of the many beautiful locations in Salento.

09/08/2025: Vengo spesso con la mia famiglia quì al Cool Garden di Torre San Giovanni. Che dire, se non "sempre perfetto!" sia nel menù alla carta che nelle cerimonie. Menù molto buono, pizze squisite, ottimi i primi e secondi . Ma la cosa che contraddistingue in eccellenza, è l'attenzione che tutto lo Staff ha per le persone con allergia e intolleranze. Ho 2 bambine celiache, e garantisco, il COOLGARDEN è il Top su questo aspetto! La location con la terrazzina all'aperto è molto gradevole, ma anche all'interno è tutto molto curato nei dettagli! Il personale è sempre attento, e veloce. Che dire...se dovessi trovare un difetto...impossibile! Cool Garden, TOP!

05/08/2025: locale molto carino personale cortese e accogliente. menu anche senza glutine sia ristorante che pizzeria. i prezzi nella norma del periodo.

15/10/2025: the hamburger meat had an unbearably bad smell.

12/10/2025: My hamburger was spoiled and smelled bad. I sent my plate back to the kitchen. The boss, with whom I argued, made me pay for my meal... I'll never go to that restaurant again.

08/10/2025: I went to Arryvo for coworking. Beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, and very affordable prices. Ideal if you want to have a few people around when you're too tired from working from home.

31/08/2025: A nice and hype place to have drinks with friends.

06/10/2025: Excellent chocolate shortcrust pastry. The girl who served me was very kind, and the place is beautiful. Marco A.

01/09/2025: Alessandro and the entire staff were incredibly welcoming. But can we talk about the pasticciotti and ricotta pastries, accompanied by excellent Lecce coffee? Always a guarantee for a great start to each day. Thank you!

24/09/2025: Away from the hustle and bustle of the historic center A beautiful terrace in a vaulted courtyard Homemade cuisine Diligent service, making an effort to speak French Delicious potato croquettes to accompany the delicious spritz Followed by homemade tagliatelle with mushrooms Excellent flavor Tiramisu also very good We would have had another type of pasta, but we were full We recommend Simple and good

17/09/2025: Superb restaurant, perfect for a romantic date. We came as a couple. The service is excellent; being French, a waiter was able to guide us and recommend dishes. We had octopus pasta and also tomato and cheese pasta. We had appetizers and wine. The location is splendid, calm, and pleasant. The price is quite high, but the quality of the ingredients was perfect, and the generous portions of the dishes did not disappoint. We highly recommend this establishment.

25/08/2025: I found myself as a tourist here in the village of Aradeo. We ordered several things to try, such as arancini, panzerrotto, pizza, puccia patatie, etc. Everything was good. I would only have cooked the puccia meat a little more, but overall, I recommend it! Recommended prices for those who want a full family meal without spending a fortune! The owner is attentive and kind. I recommend it!
