I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

04/02/2025: We had the pleasure to stay here in September 2024 and it was stunning! The views are expansive and absolutely beautiful. The pool is a great place to relax for the day perched high on the cliff overlooking the blue sea with a drink in my hand. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we needed and were comfortable during our stay. We even brushed up on our Italian and learned some new words from them. We were treated like family. The food was simple yet delicious and the breakfast spread was the perfect way to start each day with homebaked goods and the most perfect eggs! The view from the dining room can't be beat either. Blue sea and sky as far as one can see! If you are coming to Castro and want to stay at a cute family run place with the most amazing views and friendly staff, this is the place to stay. I look forward to returning here one day. A special shout out to Alessandra who assisted me with a package that needed to be shipped to me in the US. She went above and beyond to make sure it was packaged securely and shipped off to me.

26/12/2024: The meals were good and plentiful, excellent value for money, the owners were very helpful and sociable, the only flaw was the welcome buffet, although it was quite generous there was no space to get close because it was too crowded, the DJ was very engaging and good

19/09/2024: Molto buoni i gusti gelato. Cortesissima al banco la signorina ha voluto prima fare assaggiare alcuni gusti prima di scegliere. Personale garbato e locale bello e pulito. Si prende l'ordine al banco e poi si consuma al tavolino

02/09/2024: Quiet place, beautiful sea, excellent prices, the only flaw is that you can't even bring a bottle of water, you have to consume it at the bar.

11/06/2025: An excellent breakfast! It never disappoints. Quality products and traditional pastries, the right combination. Highly recommended!

09/06/2025: They make us sit at the table when we were in line at the cash register and we take a plastic bottle of water for €1.50 paid for two. When we point out that the receipt says glass bottle we are told that it costs the same (obviously a lie but he felt smart at the time) because the night before we paid €0.50 less. Mediocre quality of desserts and ice cream that seems packaged.

17/09/2024: I have the pleasure of sharing with all of you our wonderful experience in this location: a warm, professional and at the same time familiar welcome from all the staff. Rooms of various types and locations, with breathtaking sea views. Personal space on the cliff, adequately set up, to fully enjoy the crystal clear sea of ​​the area. Excellent cuisine, rich in all the nuances of typical local cuisine. Excellent value for money. What can I say? We will definitely be back.

04/09/2024: Magnificent place to visit at least once in your life... Really nice and very generous and helpful staff, great food!

27/05/2025: Personally I liked the pizza (the only one among the 4) but woe betide anyone who questions the sausage (which to us seemed more like a wurstel but apparently it was sausage) otherwise the pizza chef comes to the table (as far as I know also the owner) with an angry manner and a firm voice, ready to reprimand anyone who dares to ask for clarification on the matter. Shame about the manners, positive note the waitress, always kind and helpful every time we went there.

14/04/2025: Finally also in Tricase I tried the real Neapolitan or Campania pizza. In addition to the excellent taste, smell, consistency etc.. the low price (in the north I pay 6.50 euros for a Neapolitan margherita smaller than the Verace one, here it is bigger and only 5 euros) the real Neapolitan one doesn't give me digestion problems even if I eat a whole one in the evening. Almost all other pizzas give me digestion problems, I get a stone in my stomach and I even sleep badly at times, the Neapolitan one wherever I eat it in Italy I digest it well, and this one from Verace is one of those good and light Neapolitan ones. Well done.

04/06/2025: It took a while to get served, so maybe it's better to order at the counter. Unfortunately, English wasn't helpful here, but with our broken Italian and a bit of miming, we were able to get by. The ice cream was pretty good.

04/06/2025: Food and ice cream was okay but nothing special, there are definitely better

21/03/2025: Ristorante come pochi. Qualità e buon cibo. Ambiente pulito, elegante e il prezzo giustifica il servizio e la qualità del cibo. Il numero di persone nella sala giustifica la qualità. Da ritornarci sempre.

22/05/2025: My husband, our 21-year-old daughter, and I stayed here in May 2025, and we absolutely loved it. The hotel is wonderful — it offers breathtaking views, a stunning infinity pool, and beautifully landscaped gardens full of quiet corners perfect for reading or relaxing. I booked a massage with Luigi, and he was incredible — one of the best I've ever had! Breakfast was excellent, and after trying it once, we ended up having dinner at the hotel every night — it’s the best restaurant in the area. The staff were consistently helpful and charming, adding to the overall experience. The surrounding area is full of great spots to explore. We especially enjoyed the nearby town of Castro Marino (don’t miss the amazing ice cream), the beach cove at Acquaviva (there’s a great little lunch spot there called Anam), and Porto Miggiano for swimming. Also, be sure to take the walking tour of Zinzulusa Cave — it’s a must-see!

10/05/2025: Small, very elegant resort managed in an efficient and discreet manner. Owners and staff extremely kind and affable. You can spend days of complete relaxation on the edge of an inviting "infinity" swimming pool overlooking the sea. The only limitation of the structure is the lack of a practicable descent into the deep and beautiful sea.

25/03/2025: Pas de pizza dans cette pizzeria mais tout était délicieux. Nous avons choisi les déclinaisons d antipasti, linguine aux langoustines et spaghettis aux palourdes . Tout en simplicité, ah oui aussi le gâteau de la grand mère en dessert.

12/03/2025: Ristorante carino come interni quasi sul lungo mare. D'estate immagino si possa stare fuori c'è una discreta scelta nel menù. Abbiamo preso pesce ed era buono. Servizio cortese ed abbastanza veloce

01/06/2025: • Totally poor fish (we left everything); • the wine is brought to the table without knowing its origin. If two glasses of wine are requested, the latter must be opened and poured in front of the customers! Ergo, unsuitable, odorless and tasteless wine! • Rude, arrogant and incorrect staff! • We left after about 20 minutes; I felt very bad; • After having POLITELY highlighted all these problems to the “very nice” “owner/waitress” she wanted to make us pay à la carte! 😂 • Following my debut: “I immediately called the “NAS” they decided to give us a minimal discount (even though they deserved not to have even a single euro) • Conclusion: we paid 35 euros each to eat nothing and feel sick! • Tomorrow morning I will go directly to the Carabinieri and Gdf command • I hope this place closes soon! • GOOD YES BUT NOT TO BE MADE FOOLS! You don't joke with fish!

11/05/2025: Dav I was really all good, I didn't expect it. Fresh food, delicate flavors and a large room furnished in wood. The bathroom sink is wonderful. I ate both cooked and raw, and I must say that everything was prepared to the expected standards. Highly recommended

27/04/2025: This restaurant offers real Apulian cuisine! The owner is very welcoming and the service is very competent (very good advice on choosing wine). The candied eggplants were the best I've ever had (I wish I had the recipe) and the pasta was delicious, as were the bombettes! I really enjoyed it and I recommend this establishment!

12/04/2025: Excellent restaurant. Original and delicious cuisine. Very friendly and efficient service. Magnificent room. Original and very beautiful tableware. A very nice experience.

24/05/2025: Very good coffee with delicious filled pastries (e.g. with pistachio cream)

30/12/2024: Why allow smoking (traditional and electronic cigarettes) in a closed place? When I reported it, the response was "this is an open place". Look at the pictures of the place to understand if it is closed or open. Desolate.

08/06/2025: Very positive experience, kind and reserved staff and, above all, excellent dishes.

03/05/2025: Davvero non avrei potuto mangiare meglio: la qualità del pesce ottima e l'esecuzione in cucina altrettanto. I crudi davvero ottimi e freschi! Chiaramente è più dispendioso di altri locali, ma ne vale la pena.
