I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

17/10/2025: Overpriced, burnt, and flavorless pizzas! Terrible experience!

05/10/2025: I'm sorry to say this, but compared to a few years ago, the quality of pizza has significantly declined. Lately, I've always found pizza with very dry, thin dough, and very little sauce and even less mozzarella. I hope this review helps us improve, because Verlaine pizza used to be a guarantee of excellence.

31/10/2025: Paola and Mr. Nino are wonderful people ❤️

19/08/2025: One of the best pasticciotti leccesi I've eaten recently. A historic place for a relaxed breakfast.

26/09/2025: I was enjoying the pasticciotto...sitting down...then, they brought me the sweet ginseng. Excellent location, delicious pasticciotto....

09/09/2025: The best pie in Galatina and the province, I recommend it

30/09/2025: A small, unassuming village restaurant, but the food is good and the prices are very reasonable! Warm welcome and service!!

18/09/2025: Everything was to our complete satisfaction.

14/11/2025: I can only confirm the quality, the taste and the homely atmosphere!

12/11/2025: Food choices were delicious and server was friendly and extremely helpful.

22/09/2025: I've been to this pizzeria a couple of times. Both times we ordered pizzas and dessert. The pizzas were very good, and the speed with which we were served was excellent (especially considering it was September, so it wasn't very crowded). I was pleasantly surprised that, when ordering desserts, a food allergy was mentioned, and we were promptly informed of the ingredients to find the safest option. The cheesecake was excellent, and the tiramisu was a bit overdone, but good. The location, in my opinion, is very popular, right in front of the stadium and in a very quiet area. We were very satisfied with the evening!

12/09/2025: Good takeaway pizza at a fair price

06/10/2025: Excellent place in St. Peter's Square with a beautiful view of the Basilica. We ordered two salads, delicious and very generous portions. The guy who served us was very kind and helpful. The coffee was good. I recommend it. Marco A.

04/10/2025: Excellent pasticciotto in the Galatina square

25/10/2025: Very kind waiters, good food, and a lovely atmosphere. Recommended.

15/10/2025: I'm calling because I'd like to celebrate my birthday here with about fifteen friends. I'd like to come around 10:00 PM for a round of drinks, some snacks, and to open the cake (I should point out that the place only allows sitting down after dinner for a drink). The owner tells me that for birthday parties, they usually accept a maximum of eight people, so the only way would be to split us into two or three tables. Unconvinced, and needing to think about it, I don't book right away. I call back and decide to book despite the separate tables, because I frequent the place often and find it unique and (I was wrong) welcoming. But here's where the problems begin: the owner asks me to limit the number of friends, since he rightly believes I shouldn't celebrate with whoever I want because he can't push two tables together. But let's move on to the restrictions: "It's best not to bring a cake that needs to be refrigerated, because we don't have space," "if you come at 10 pm, you have to leave at midnight because we're closing," and last but not least, the gem: "we can't keep your table free until 10 pm, so if you arrive and there are people still sitting, you'll have to wait until they're free. We'll do whatever we can, but try to keep your friends busy." A little confused, I confirm the reservation, but over the next day, I realize how arrogant and unprofessional the owner has been, so I call to cancel and am met with a slammed down phone, accusing me of being rude because I should have called earlier. I should point out that it's impossible to contact the restaurant before 5:30 pm because it's closed and the phone is off, and my call came in around 6 pm, just half an hour after it opened. Before I get hung up on him, I try to point out to the gentleman that I hadn't compromised his reservations in any way, because he himself had reiterated several times, just the day before, that he would NOT keep my table free. In a word: TERRIBLE!!! You've lost a loyal customer...

11/10/2025: Guys, everything is great...but be careful...(see photo)

01/10/2025: The proteins here are honest. Maybe even too much so. And that's fine. Grilled meat without frills: the right cuts, perfectly cooked, generous portions. Direct flavor, lively heat, just enough salt. No special effects: you come here for the meat, period. Friendly service, fast pace, spartan but clean atmosphere. Warm bread, two basic side dishes, honest house wine. Fair prices for what you put on your plate. Important note: watch out for Tito... he bites 😅. He's a guy who tells things as they are: don't come here to be refined. Golden rule: don't ask for arugula on your sliced ​​steak. Here the meat speaks for itself and doesn't need leaves to cover anything. If you're looking for a real grill, with character and substance, go ahead. You'll leave full, happy, and with that aroma of the grill that already tells the story of the evening. 5 stars.

20/10/2025: We've read rave reviews about this pastry shop's pasticciotti, but we haven't had a chance to try them yet. We were on vacation in Salento and stopped by the Turi pastry shop on purpose. It was 10:30 in the morning, and we asked for two pasticciotti. They looked at us like aliens because we'd have to reserve them at that time, and they advised us to reserve them and come back the next day. After all, we should have realized their products are artisanal. Now, I understand fine pastry making and craftsmanship, but given the profusion of pastries and cakes on display, should I have assumed that the ones on display weren't artisanal? If the pasticciotto is their flagship product, how is it possible that it's already sold out by mid-morning? Speaking with friends, they happened to have the pasticciotti, but since they wanted six to take away, even though they were available, they didn't give them to them because they hadn't reserved them. Anyway, we opted for the fruttoni, which were very good, by the way.

24/09/2025: It's been a few months, but I wanted to write this review. The cake is gorgeous and delicious, and it matched perfectly with the colors my daughter chose for her confirmation. The donuts, too, were delicious, nice and fresh, and a great alternative for those who didn't want cake or for younger children.

05/09/2025: The reality surpassed the image: a spectacular and delicious cake, with attention to every detail and quality ingredients. The staff fully understood and realized our idea.

29/08/2025: I've tried several products. I have to say there's a difference between croissants and pastries. The pistachio croissant has a very sweet cream; you only taste the sugar, with little discernible pistachio flavor. Pastries, including pastries, have very good, well-balanced creams.

10/09/2025: The place was closed even though the hours were written on the door: 7am-2pm, but at 12pm it was already closed.

12/09/2025: The environment here is very bad, the food is not good, I have been here but it is not good.

22/08/2025: Rude staff. Told us “I dont wash dishes” when we didnt know where to put our mugs, why the attitude? Mediocre food and coffee

26/10/2025: It's hard to find a restaurant in Salento where you can eat badly, but I found one. Two things: poor quality and high prices.

24/09/2025: The service was disappointing, the dishes were not well-prepared, and the flavors were nothing special. The prices were high! Highly not recommended!
