I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

13/06/2025: I haven't been to this bar often, but I've heard a lot of good things from friends and people who know the place. They say it's a quiet, tidy and always welcoming environment. The breakfasts are delicious, the aperitifs are carefully prepared and the bar is always well stocked. The guys who work there are polite, smiling and close to the customers. The owners care about people, they are simple and friendly, and they create an atmosphere where you feel at home. I myself have only been once for a drink, and it left me with a very good impression – fast service, good drinks, clean environment. A place where I will definitely come back again.

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.

26/09/2025: Superb location Friendly staff Good cafe in Ghiaccio Highly recommended

12/09/2025: The restaurant is located right near the castle entrance, at the entrance to the historic center. We ordered an espresso and a shaken coffee, and for dessert, a delicious pasticciotto con crema, sitting at one of the tables in front of the windows overlooking the sea. The waitress was very kind and helpful, even giving us recommendations for lunch.

19/09/2025: Modern and beautiful restaurant with discreet service and exceptional cuisine.

02/06/2025: Very good pizzas, family atmosphere. Very good value for money.

01/09/2025: Terrible service, non-existent... very long waits, very poor quality

31/08/2025: We had already been to this restaurant with a positive experience but in the change of name and management something did not work, we had asked for a table in a sheltered position due to the presence of elderly people but unfortunately they did not give us a table as per our request, we asked for fried food and they arrived but they were terrible after a long wait we had to call the waiter for the orders, limited menu with little choice, an experience definitely not to be repeated

05/07/2025: Great for breakfast, with salted caramel croissants or really delicious kinder bueno

02/07/2025: This is where we tried rusticos for the first time. Having eaten them elsewhere since, I can say they know how to prepare them well. But my 5 ⭐️ stars aren't just for the novelty, or for how much we enjoyed the snack, but also because this place was a true oasis on an extremely hot day. The place is spacious and quiet. The staff is attentive and efficient. They definitely saved the day.

12/09/2025: I like the pizza and taste and stuff….very good atmosphere 😊thanks to all

24/08/2025: Excellent pizza and the owner Michele is always smiling despite the hard work, professional and friendly

14/10/2025: Pleasant crowd, good pizza for a low price.

21/09/2025: We ate at this restaurant after seeing it on a TV show. Located in the center of Lecce, it's easy to reach on foot through the narrow streets of this beautiful city. Welcoming and very sumptuous, truly beautiful to look at, to my taste, although the presence of so many objects hanging here and there makes it impossible to clean effectively, with traces of hidden dust. Otherwise, the restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms. Fast service, always very helpful and friendly staff, including the owner's husband, who is very friendly. The menu is quite extensive, featuring typical local dishes, lovingly cooked by the owner. I wasn't impressed by the orecchiette, a typical Apulian dish; it was good, but not memorable. A simple, homemade appetizer, a must-try for anyone who wants to sample some of Lecce's local products. For my second course, I had strips of meat with arugula and parmesan, and I must say it was truly delicious and flavorful. For dessert, I couldn't resist the tiramisu, my favorite, but I have to give this one a failing grade...what a shame. The prices are a little high, but we're in the center of Lecce, so no complaints. My review is purely personal, so I invite you to visit the place and decide for yourself, because it's worth it.

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.

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

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

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.

09/09/2025: The puccia with mortadella is good and the prices aren't too high.

07/09/2025: Good cocktails, unfriendly staff. The welcome needs rethinking.

22/06/2025: Review made after three visits, two of which were 6 years apart. Excellent trattoria in the historic center of Nardò. I tried many of the dishes offered on the menu and found each one exquisite. I recommend the octopus meatballs and the cavatelli mussels and beans. The atmosphere is rustic but well-kept. If you sit on the terrace there is a high probability that a local kitten will stop by to visit you; there is a colony that seems to particularly love this place. The service is reasonably fast and the staff is extremely welcoming. A ritual stop for every time I am lucky enough to visit Salento.

18/06/2025: We were there six years ago and we returned this year for two more times! Always everything delicious, high quality cuisine and ingredients. For those in the Nardò/Porto Cesareo area it is an absolutely recommended stop for a good first course that is meat or fish. We also really appreciated the second courses and appetizers (not to mention the wine!). We will definitely return as soon as we have the chance!

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.
