I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

06/08/2025: Super tasty and filling Panuozzo

05/08/2025: Recommended by a colleague. Although a bit hidden, it's well-kept and welcoming. The pizza is top-notch. The location is truly charming and suitable for all seasons and ages. The owners are wonderful people. I'll definitely be back.

03/05/2026: So, a wonderful experience. Delicious pizza. The menu, perhaps not too extensive, but excellent choices. The staff is not only attentive but also super fun, they immediately put you at ease. Highly recommended.

28/04/2026: A top place to spend an evening; the cocktails, atmosphere, and staff are all excellent.

11/06/2025: Typical tourist lunch (in the good sense) on tables in a characteristic street, excellent food and very kind staff. Prices consistent with the good quality food. We had an excellent and generous Hawaiian poke. 2 Pucce "Primitiva" and 1 Hamburger di scottona with chips, wonderful. With two bottles of water, two cokes, two small bottles of beer and a glass of iced tea we spent 64 euros. In general... highly recommended.

02/06/2025: Highly recommended for those who, like me, are gluten intolerant. I was finally able to taste an excellent parmigiana (the aubergines had not been floured and fried) and a very tasty dish of broad beans and chicory. The place is only apparently small (there were eight of us and we had a good time) and the selection of wines is exceptional. The owner, then, is an exquisite person.

12/05/2026: I've been meaning to write a few lines about Facula for a while, and finally I do. Besides being a first-rate rotisserie, they serve truly excellent Roman pinsa and calzones, which are hard to find this good in the area. But it's when you sit down and order pizza that the quality really rises. The pizzas (customizable) are fragrant, with a light, well-leavened, and well-cooked dough. It stays crispy without being dry, the crust is airy and fragrant, and you can tell they take great care in cooking and use a quality oven. Those working behind the scenes make the difference—well done! The toppings are top-notch and well-balanced, with fresh ingredients, well-made fior di latte mozzarella, and a perfect balance of flavors. Nothing overdone, plenty of substance. Both the classic and more elaborate options are tasty and carefully prepared. The atmosphere is familiar and relaxed, even though it's located on Corso Roma. Inside, there's a relaxed atmosphere, with courteous, efficient, and unhurried service—just how I like it. In short, a reliable, centrally located establishment with excellent value. No frills or over-the-top pretensions, just substance and well-made products. It's become a regular stop for me every time I'm in Gallipoli. If you're passing through, I highly recommend it; you'll leave happy.

03/05/2026: Warm heart cake without a warm heart

11/05/2026: Excellent pizza and friendly, helpful staff! Also try the pizza by the meter! They also host karaoke nights, soccer games on the big screen, St. Martin's Day and New Year's Eve parties, and much more! :-)

14/12/2025: Aperitif with appetizers, rotisserie, high-end grotto. Very friendly staff. Price... I don't know if they made a mistake, but it was very cheap.

10/01/2026: It's a nice place for both the first collection and for an evening aperitif with a good variety of appetizers and rotisserie.

20/10/2025: This small pastry shop in Gallipoli's historic center deserves a special mention for its excellent products at extremely competitive prices. You'll find both traditional products and standard pastries; we tried the pasticciotti and found them delicious!

01/10/2025: Great pasticciotti and coffee at an affordable price

12/04/2026: Delicious pizza, friendly staff. The only downside is that it's a little too hot.

04/04/2026: excellent pizza 😍🔥 very digestible 🤤

04/05/2026: Excellent rotisserie, congratulations 👏

19/03/2026: The Zeppole di San Giuseppe were absolutely delicious! Light and not too sugary! The staff was incredibly kind!

06/09/2025: Olimpia and Stefano, the owners, are very helpful. The atmosphere is very relaxing and surrounded by greenery.

25/08/2025: The place is run by rude people, especially Olimpia, who disregard public order rules. The place is located in a residential area, surrounded by private homes. The music (the place is open late, so we're talking about disturbances after 10 PM, sometimes until 1 AM) is often too loud, sometimes incredibly loud and unbearable. A few weeks ago, I alerted the police, after several attempts over the years to politely ask them to turn the volume down. And I will do so again, if necessary. This place is unbearable!

08/04/2026: Very kind staff, highly recommended coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker, or at least I'm not the picky type, but their coffee is delicious, so much so that I asked where they buy it from. 😀 It's excellent coffee in every way, and for someone who knows nothing about it, that says it all! Delicious even without sugar, a real treat! I recommend it. The friendliness, helpfulness, and hospitality are also top notch, so I definitely give it 5 stars!

07/05/2026: Simply cozy! Uncomplicated service, interesting interior, delicious pastries, and reasonable prices.

06/04/2026: We waited 30 minutes without being served, even though table service is supposed to be good (I asked). What's more, the servers forget the table order and serve just anyone. Absolutely terrible.

04/05/2026: Lovely place, very friendly staff, Delicious pizza

02/05/2026: We went in to make a reservation, they told us there was no room, then they told us to wait because there was a table at the Amari. We said we were outside in the park, and every now and then we went to check on the table, and they still told us to wait. After more than half an hour, we went in and found it free. They told us that the table we had reserved belonged to another group of 8. Moral of the story, they rudely kicked us out with 6 hungry children, when they could have warned us at the beginning that there was no option for dinner there. There is no organization, much less communication between colleagues. A shame because the location is gorgeous, but the staff is rude. A total disappointment because let's remember that attentive staff, among many other things, is the key to a good restaurant. We were truly disappointed, especially for the children.

08/03/2026: IT IS NO LONGER THE FAMOUS BAR DA PAOLO OF THE PAST, while you are having an aperitif or breakfast, there is an invasion of pigeons that walk under the tables, breakfast is expensive and aperitif is very expensive, the calzone like the pasticciotto pugliese are no longer as good as they once were, TO AVOID There are many superior ones, clean and with an excellent balance between price and quality

25/01/2026: Very nice and tasty snacks, puzza, rustici. Large selection. At very good prices.
