I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

03/09/2025: I honestly don't understand the cold or negative reviews for this restaurant. Splendid location near the Castle in a historic and truly characteristic square. All the dishes were more than good. Portions were not excessive but honest. We really enjoyed it. THANK YOU. P.S.: with The Fork discount, it's a crime not to go!

29/08/2025: We ordered pasta with mussels and cherry tomatoes...the pasta wasn't fresh, the dish was completely unprepared, and the mussels were tiny!! We also ordered an octopus salad...tasteless! Lastly, a three-year-old girl was even charged for the service charge without having consumed anything! The location is beautiful. The waiter was very kind and polite, but the young woman, who barely spoke Italian, wasn't so much as asking for feedback when she picked up her plate. It seems like a commercial place that tries to repurpose traditional dishes without the necessary love and tradition. The prices are high. The menu doesn't list frozen ingredients...you have to ask to find out what's fresh and what's not.

15/10/2025: Exceptional calzones!! The best in Salento.

21/09/2025: Excellent little place with a young staff. I tried the pork bombetta, which was well-cooked, but I advised the staff that pork, perhaps because I'm Tuscan, shouldn't be served bland, but should be seasoned with salt and pepper, or at least served with the option of adding one or the other according to taste.

17/09/2025: Tradition and flavors...envelop you at this agriturismo. The traditional cuisine invites you to taste dishes your palate never knew existed. Very good, authentic food. It was a great experience for me...even though I'm always out for dinner for work, this place made me feel at home. I'll gladly return, thank you. Belva

08/09/2025: Very touristy place, dimly lit and little attention paid to the presentation of the dishes

11/11/2025: Nice little place by the sea, with nearby parking. Open even in November. We had a wonderful meal. Plus, they threw a wonderful party with live Salento music! Compliments to the owner and staff! Very friendly and... enterprising! Really good! Recommended. We'll be back soon! Thank you!

09/11/2025: The food was very good, my compliments to the chef. The service could be much improved, as it's unpleasant to see waiters running (literally) from one place to another despite the limited number of tables. Despite their good intentions to speed up service, we still had to wait ages for our main course.

22/11/2025: It's a shame there's no gluten-free option.

02/11/2025: Excellent pastry shop, excellent coffee shop, very kind staff and owners. I love fruttatone and I think the one at Estro e Dolcezze is the best I've ever eaten, delicious! Congratulations!

28/09/2025: Excellent pizza and excellent cuisine, very nice atmosphere

16/08/2025: Delicious pizza, friendly staff, and short wait time! Well done 👏🏻

19/09/2025: Dear Owner, Thank you for your reply, but my intent was certainly not to offend customers, but rather to express the discomfort I felt on that specific occasion. I understand that the day included a special event, but perhaps it would have been helpful to communicate this more clearly, so that we could have made an informed decision whether or not to participate. Regarding the service, unfortunately, our experience was different from what you described: we encountered a certain disorganization and a lack of attention to requests, which was a negative impact. The food was good, and I acknowledged that, but the overall quality of the experience unfortunately did not live up to expectations. In any case, I wish you and your staff the best of luck. Best regards.

23/08/2025: We happened to be at this stretch of beach in not-so-great swimming weather, and we were hungry. The staff was very friendly and helpful – they immediately spoke to the children in a friendly manner and even offered a high chair. The food was excellent (fish, meat, pasta, salad). The prices were a bit high due to the fresh ingredients. Nevertheless, the restaurant is highly recommended!

14/08/2025: Alegría Park is a lovely place to spend time with family or friends. Conveniently located near Mancaversa, it offers a relaxed atmosphere with green areas and open spaces to enjoy the outdoors. It’s ideal for a walk, letting the kids play, and taking advantage of the activities available. The park is clean and well-maintained, although some areas could benefit from more shade on hot days. Its proximity to the coast makes it perfect to combine with a beach day in Gallipoli. Overall, it’s a nice option to relax and enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful, family-friendly environment.

01/07/2025: A Sweet Little Slice of Heaven This pasticceria is the kind of place that reminds you why dessert exists in the first place. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm scent of freshly baked pastries and the quiet hum of locals enjoying their morning espresso. Every pastry here feels like it was made with care, each bite is a small celebration. The service is kind and relaxed, and there's a genuine sense of pride behind the counter. Whether you're popping in for a quick pasta mandorle or sitting down for a leisurely cappuccino, this place makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. Highly recommended for anyone who believes life is better with a bit of sugar and a lot of heart.

24/06/2025: Excellent pastry shop always fresh and a pleasant place to relax even outdoors

13/09/2025: Excellent food and pleasant location.

11/09/2025: A family-run trattoria serving the authentic flavors of Salento. Exceptional!

25/08/2025: This is a seafood restaurant with an adjoining fishmonger's (different entrances for the two businesses). From appetizers to dessert, everything is delicious and expertly prepared. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The lady at the cash register is very kind and always asks if customers are satisfied. We will return whenever possible. Congratulations!

25/07/2025: Excellent restaurant! Delicious food and very friendly staff! You can taste the freshness of the fish! The staff is very helpful with recommendations for things to do in the area and must-see beaches. Highly recommended.

21/09/2025: This was our first time at this place. Nice but small. We made a reservation. We waited 40 minutes to order and over an hour from ordering to get our food. Terrible service, which needs to be addressed with the long waits, given the very small space. Lack of basic hygiene standards in an environment where food is served. There was a cat at the entrance.

20/09/2025: If you think you're going to La Pergola for an elegant restaurant, you're in the wrong place, but the only thing you can be sure of is that the pizza 🍕 is truly delicious. Highly recommended

29/08/2025: I'll start by saying that I've always loved the pizzas from Pizzeria Core a Core. I've had a good experience at all their locations, but not the one in Morciano di Leuca. The pizza was burnt, cold, and without toppings. I ordered a "scoglio" (a kind of seafood dish) and got two shrimp and two zucchini on top. The pizza was completely white and black on the bottom. I'll continue to go there in other towns, but this was the first and last time I'd even had to speak in Salento dialect on my cell phone. It's a shame about this inconvenience. My compliments, however, go to the pizzeria in Gagliano del Capo. Excellent pizzas, well-seasoned and tasty. The staff is very respectful of their customers, and the opening hours are always precise.

05/08/2025: Excellent pizza, ideal for takeaway!

18/10/2025: Nice atmosphere, good food at fair prices. The only flaw is that there needs to be good ventilation in the lower area of ​​the restaurant, otherwise you'll always smell the fumes from the meat on the lava stone.

02/10/2025: The owner is helpful and cheerful, like all the people of Salento. Thanks to the woman who brought me the dishes I chose and gave excellent advice. At this restaurant, you eat with recipes from the past, passed down from grandmothers. Excellent food, both in terms of quality and price.
