I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/09/2025: I tried this pizzeria, which I already knew: they changed the flour or dough, and the pizzas are definitely better and more beautiful. They also serve tasty pucce and bombette. Excellent value; friendly and helpful waiters, and there's a nice room in the basement with a TV (no Sky).

24/08/2025: Exceptional pizzas and service. Friendliness, speed, and excellent ingredients. Excellent!

10/11/2025: Service a bit distracted at times, food average

05/11/2025: Mexal is a charming Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lecce: the atmosphere is authentic and meticulously crafted, with a colorful and welcoming setting that instantly conveys the warmth of Mexico. The menu offers tasty, beautifully presented dishes, with an average quality/price ratio. The staff is attentive, friendly, and helpful. I didn't particularly enjoy the quesadilla, which I expected to have fresh mushrooms instead of pickled mushrooms. My chicken burrito was good, but overall the cuisine remains solid and consistent with the offerings. A recommended restaurant for those seeking a genuine and convivial Mexican experience in a cheerful and refined atmosphere.

11/12/2025: Personale gentile, caffè molto buono.

25/10/2025: Poor chocolate, waiters who get my order wrong. Acceptable atmosphere.

11/01/2026: We spent a quiet evening with friends. A plus is that they accept tables even at 10:30 PM, which is very useful for those who get off work late.

07/11/2025: The wait for pizza delivery was crazy: more than 1.5 hours for the first slice. What can I say about the service? Long waits, often orders forgotten, and even mix-ups between tables! In my opinion, to improve, you need much more professional and hard-working staff, and even a couple more to speed up orders.

27/12/2025: A venue in the center of Gallipoli, packed with young people. On the busiest nights, there's little organization.

19/12/2025: The girls are very kind. Drinks and appetizers lived up to expectations.

14/09/2025: Excellent pizzas. Very good. Just a little slow but worth the wait.

14/08/2025: Great calzones, great prices, wonderful welcome...the owners are super friendly and professional...🥰

26/09/2025: We returned several times during our seaside stay and can't wait to return next year... excellent homemade food with top-quality ingredients, from appetizers to desserts, including wines, everything very good and digestible, generous portions and always well-presented, very clean place in a beautiful historic villa, fair prices, very knowledgeable and friendly table service, compliments to the chef Salvatore and Desdemona, a delightful person. Well done, keep it up!!! Highly recommended.

20/09/2025: We visited this restaurant and had a very positive experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined; the staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive to the customer's needs. The food is excellent: dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. The value for money is more than good. It's definitely a place to return to and one I'd recommend.

16/07/2025: Menu sfizioso, perfetto per gli amanti della carne e dei piatti della tradizione salentina. Servizio cortese, veloce e attento. Eccellente rapporto qualità/prezzo

12/07/2025: Un contesto di campagna piacevole, soprattutto di sera quando non si vedono gli ulivi morti. Un edificio di notevole impatto, con grande capacità suggestiva. La cucina è semplice, senza svolazzi, adatta a chi si adatta. Personale che va capito, prezzi fondamentalmente corretti.

18/01/2026: Couple's dinner, seated at 9.05pm and ordered at around 9.20pm and hence the LONG WAIT and not only that... Ordered a 0.40 OTTOVOLANTE beer and I received another 0.33 GORDON beer, asked the waitress and she told me that the chosen beer was not there, I was changed the beer but only the glass, they brought me the same beer with the glass brand of the previously ordered beer, oh well... let's forget it!! Waiting time for pizzas for 2 people 1 hour and 15 minutes, after several requests to the waiter who gave me an answer after 10 minutes The pizzas arrived, 1 without chips (but added to the request) and 1 pizza ordered with burnt wheat and arrived with coal 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ DISORGANIZED STAFF!!! At the bill the cashier asks me If I had liked the beer, it turns out the substitute was a Gordon, which I hadn't asked for!!! I also reported the mistake with the pizza dough, which was wrong, and he doesn't even say SORRY!!! At least a little humility. It was the second one after 8/9 years, but I WILL NEVER GO BACK. A piece of advice: try to stop for a moment and take stock of the situation, because besides us, there were complaints from 2 other tables next to ours.

17/01/2026: Excellent dough, unfortunately the pizza was a little wet because the mozzarella had released water during cooking.

14/10/2025: Wonderful place. Great food. The service from Odette was first class!

29/09/2025: Disappointing. A place with a nice view and a good location, but the food is despicable. My wife and I ordered a burrata appetizer that was just OK (10 euros). For 5 euros, you can get something better at the market. The biggest disappointment was the gnocchi with salmon and pistachios. Simply one of the worst dishes I've had at a restaurant in years. The gnocchi was doughy and tough. The red sauce was worse than store-bought ones. Salmon and pistachios? In name only. All this for 18 euros. Terrible, terrible, there's no other word for it.

27/08/2025: Beautiful café, spotlessly clean and welcoming, the staff are very kind and knowledgeable, and the service is impeccable. I always order the cream croissant, which is delicious, and the coffee is excellent. The water that accompanies your drinks is served in glasses, a special touch for those who are eco-conscious. Well done.

01/08/2025: Marco, a trusted name for decades. The cocktails are always excellent, not the junk those kids around here make you drink.

20/07/2025: Excellent in everything, excellent cocktails, excellent prices, I will definitely return as I have been doing for a long time now, highly recommended

18/12/2025: A great place to relax and chat after exploring Lecce. Frankly, I'm surprised there's no menu. Sure, they can make any cocktail and there's a good selection of beers, but do you have the right to know the prices? I don't think it's even legal...

29/09/2025: Sadly the craft beer on draft wasn’t what we’d expect and being told to sit outside was a bit rubbish.

24/10/2025: Very disappointed. Tasteless bowl, just salad, 3 pieces of mango, 3 pieces of avocado, and 3 cashews... For 14 euros... shameful!

18/10/2025: Great drinks and friendly staff!
