I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

16/08/2025: This place was recommended to me by locals as the best traditional restaurant in Vinci. We went for lunch today. Besides the typical Tuscan atmosphere, the kindness and hospitality typical of this area, we had a divine meal; the tagliata was excellent. The recommendation was spot on.

15/07/2025: I don't usually write negative reviews, but this time it felt necessary. At Ristorante La Torretta, near the Conti Guidi castle in Vinci, the experience was disastrous. Despite clarifying that we had two vegetarians, we were served platters of prosciutto and chicken liver pâté, along with pizza strips, bread, and focaccia. The first courses didn't improve the situation: raw pappardelle with wild boar and ricotta and spinach ravioli with a bitter aftertaste. The pork steak, served practically charred, made one of the guests feel ill, and he vomited shortly thereafter. As if that weren't enough, at a certain point the room filled with smoke from the kitchen, making it unbreathable. Finally, a hefty bill capped off this awful experience. Truly unpleasant, and I strongly advise against it.

02/05/2025: When creativity meets the glass, aperitifs are born that seem like small journeys. Heartfelt thanks to those who know how to listen to tastes, moods and desires and transform them into tailor-made drinks. Because sometimes a well-thought-out sip is enough to feel better. Thanks, see you soon.

29/04/2025: Strategic place to, let's say, sit down and eat something. Just enough aperitif... but very high cost, I will hardly go back.

27/08/2025: Excellent place where we ate excellently.... recommended

26/08/2025: A small but welcoming restaurant in the heart of the historic center. There were four of us—two adults and two children—and we chose a seafood menu, a meat menu, and two pizzas. The traditional dishes were delicious, and the pizza was delicious. The service was also excellent.

18/07/2025: We dined at Ci Sushi in Maglie yesterday, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience, except for the food, which was indeed excellent. Therefore, I'm giving it two stars, which are entirely due to the quality of the dishes. Upon arrival, we were greeted emotionlessly. No smile, no welcome; it felt more like an obligation than a warm welcome. Once at the table, three menus were literally thrown on the corner of the table, without any explanation, after which the waiter immediately left. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I raised my hand to ask how the concept worked. Only after three attempts did I receive an incomplete explanation, which didn't help me much. We ordered three colas and a bottle of water. The cola arrived after 10 minutes, but the bottle of water didn't. I had to raise my hand again and inquire about that as well. The waiter's reaction at that moment was downright unprofessional; a look of temporary indignation even made me want to leave immediately. Still, we decided to stay, hoping things would improve afterward. During our meal, we noticed that several dishes we ordered simply weren't arriving. Nothing was said, and no one came to check on us. To make matters worse, at one point a staff member came to our table and sternly announced, without any context or apparent reason, that we would have to pay extra if we didn't finish our plates. This, while we were simply enjoying our meal. Not long after, one of our tables was suddenly removed, forcing two people to sit upside down. Very bizarre and inappropriate. At that point, we decided to leave. As far as we're concerned, something is fundamentally wrong with the structure, organization, and management of this restaurant. The tension and dissatisfaction radiates from almost every staff member, and that significantly detracts from the entire dining experience. We felt unwelcome and certainly not valued as customers. Conclusion: the food is fine, but the overall experience is completely undermined by a lack of hospitality, organization, and customer focus. We'll definitely skip this restaurant in the future. It's a shame, because the kitchen's potential could be so much greater.

26/04/2025: Relaxing place, education and courtesy

19/06/2025: Tutto veramente buono, personale molto gentile. Posto perfetto per passare una serata in tranquillità. Lo consiglio

19/06/2025: Sono tornato dopo un anno ed ho trovato il locale migliorato sia l'ambiente che i piatti, con nuove proposte. Ho assaggiato la puccia n. 15 e del formaggio al vino. Ottimi. Sicuramente da indicare ad amici e conoscenti che vanno a Lecce e gradiscono cucina tipica.

08/08/2025: Ottimo ristorante,consigliatissimo! Abbiamo mangiato pesce delizioso. Location molto bella e personale gentilissimo e professionale. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

04/08/2025: Ottimi sauté e insalata di mare, pizza ben lievitata e ben cotta, tutto ok. Servizio come d'abitudine, veloce e cordiale. Location elegante fronte mare.

28/08/2025: Gallone Real Pub – it seems that everything is selected here, the best. The selection of dishes and drinks from all over the world is unusual for Italy, but as they say, everything made in Italy becomes Italian. From the impressive architecture on the outside to the authentic, yet modern and cozy interior inside – this place captivates from the first sight. The service is impeccable, and the dishes are prepared only from the freshest and highest quality products. The warm atmosphere invites you to come back again and again. The prices are really fair, especially considering how exclusive this place is.

16/08/2025: Very good food, nice atmosphere, one of Salento's historic pubs, in the square in Tricase and in a historic building. It's a shame about the service; this evening it was a bit lacking, other evenings it wasn't, but I highly recommend it. Worth a try.

14/06/2025: The best Parisian I've ever eaten in my life, thanks for everything!

06/09/2025: A quiet outdoor spot with good pizzas and very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the wait for the pizzas, after receiving the drinks, was quite long. The experience was also ruined by the unprofessional and arrogant behavior of the blonde waitress, who seemed annoyed by our presence. It's a shame, because we and our other colleagues would have stopped for coffee as well. Two stars because of the waitress...

05/09/2025: Truly delicious pizza. Wood-fired oven, fresh and plentiful ingredients. Extensive menu, including children's dishes! Attentive and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

27/07/2025: Excellent service, special thanks to waiter Yuri for his helpfulness, patience, and professionalism. We'll definitely be back. There was a bit of a wait for the sashimi, but it was worth it.

26/07/2025: Review updated after two years. The menu has changed and improved. They could find better cuts of raw ham and maintain consistency in serving it on the rocks (personal preference). Excellent dishes, I'm a regular customer and have never had any problems. I would space out the tables for two because when it's very busy, it feels like you're eating in a group when you'd prefer a bit of privacy. As for the service, it depends on who you're with. Besides the managers, there's a very calm and kind young man and woman, while two others almost throw plates at you. Other than that, everything was excellent! Thanks to the waiter who suggested the condensed milk with Chinese rolls 😋 What a discovery!

04/09/2025: Terrible sushi, sticky and chewy rice to the point where I couldn't finish it.

29/08/2025: IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR STOMACH, DON'T GO! BELIEVE ME! I've tried plenty of all-you-can-eat sushi, but I've never had anything as terrible as this in my life. I felt sick as soon as I finished eating, all night, and even for the next few days. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO ME! Evidently, cleanliness, etc., isn't a given there. But that aside, the service was TERRIBLE! Of everything we ordered via tablet, we only got half the items, and they were the wrong ones, and the quantities didn't match the description. The location was nice, but rather seedy and not very clean. Furthermore, the wait for the table was incredibly long, and there were very few people. Also, a tip for the restaurant: deliver the sashimi to your table, on a piping hot plate. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT! If you care about yourself, be wary of reviews that say it's delicious and they've eaten well. THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY NEVER EATEN GOOD COMMERCIAL SUSHI. I wouldn't go back even if they offered it to me or paid me to eat it.

17/08/2025: The place is amazing, as we ate at Lecce streets. The service was also very good. We ordered two burgers. They are fine and big, but not awesome, and there is no differentiation. We wish we could give 3,5 stars, because we think it’s better than 3.

09/08/2025: The best cocktails just steps from Lecce's most beautiful location.

26/05/2025: A local family business, run with love and friendliness! Simply cozy and delicious fish cuisine!

18/05/2025: Skip this place if you enjoy eating fish. The presentation is lacking and the food is nonexistent. The chef isn't good at delighting our taste buds. The bill is overpriced for both the food and the wine.

06/07/2025: Rude is an understatement, when I asked if the bread was fresh (meaning if it was daily) they laughed at me making jokes among themselves. There is little to laugh about. Learn to work with the right respect for people (which you do not have).

21/06/2025: The only flaw is the banal environment. Everything else is top notch. Lots of bread but also lots of baked goods that are always tasty
