I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

08/12/2025: Everything was good, prices were reasonable, the staff were friendly and helpful, the fried foods and pizzas were excellent, and the place was welcoming but not particularly elegant!

15/11/2025: We waited 1 hour and a half for two pizzas…pretty good

20/10/2025: Restaurant/pizzeria serving first and second courses, and excellent Neapolitan pizza, which I've tried. I don't know about the other dishes. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly. Prices are average. I recommend it.

07/10/2025: Best pizza in town - once upon a time! Yesterday's pizza was still half-raw and had canned mushrooms...nothing like it used to be, unfortunately! The specialty pizza is no longer available either. Sadly, this was my last visit there.

17/11/2025: 50 euros for a plate of pasta with mediocre sardines and a tasteless octopus leg; a small glass of wine was 6 euros. They served us late for lunch, but that's no excuse for such mediocre food and rushing us to leave. Not recommended at all.

06/10/2025: Good cuisine with seafood. The wine and desserts were good choices.

24/06/2025: Beautiful and welcoming, my favorite bar, try it and tell me what you think

14/06/2025: Luogo accogliente dove passare una piacevole serata, con amici o in famiglia. Che dire poi della gentilezza del personale? Anna , Arianna e Silvia! Consigliatissimo

17/07/2025: Slow and incorrect cooking of baked meat and potatoes that were actually boiled

06/04/2025: I tried the Mexico tour, I wasn't able to finish it because everything was too plentiful. We need to reduce the quantities on the plates. Helpful and trained staff Very long service between one course and another, it becomes unnerving. The garden is beautiful. Honest account.

29/08/2025: The owner refused to give us an umbrella because we had small children and a stroller (which could be folded). He also said we couldn't open a small basin in the shade for our newborn. This is absolutely disgusting, insensitive, rude, and discriminatory behavior toward children. We have reported this to the authorities. Stay away from this place.

29/08/2025: The owner's service is terrible. Very aggressive and defensive when faced with a polite request. I don't recommend it at all. I don't understand how he retains his customers. Another owner should open the same location because it's beautiful.

13/11/2025: We stayed at this wonderful beach, which had a special agreement with the hotel where we spent our vacation. Turquoise sea and an exceptional seafood restaurant!

22/09/2025: Fantastic place! I highly recommend it. Beautiful beach, clear water, and a bar run by a lovely Italian family. They really encouraged us to speak Italian (we're still learning), made delicious drinks, and were very helpful. Subtle music played through the speakers... reasonable prices, delicious menu.

20/10/2025: What can I say...in my opinion, Davide is the pizza artist...the best pizzas ever ooooo. If you come to Lecce, you must stop at the Mediterranean to enjoy a truly authentic pizza and above all with natural leavening like our grandmothers used to make.

11/10/2025: Great location, great food, loved the terrace, ideal for family.

16/11/2025: We were skeptical at the start, given the somewhat negative reviews, but we were satisfied after tasting our sandwiches. The only negative was the cold bread. Everything else was fine.

29/10/2025: ▶️ After the pasta school session, in next door restaurant BALU (same owners) we did eat our own made pasta orechiette. ➡️ Everything was so well done, excellent wine 🍷 and also a bruschetta was served 👌

05/12/2025: We had dinner here tonight. You can tell it's a traditional, family-run trattoria, a place frequented by locals. The quality was excellent and very affordable; everything was delicious. The pizzas were delicious, baked in a wood-fired oven, and the breaded meat was very tasty.

02/12/2025: I have nothing but love for this place! I don't know where to begin, because to say that "La Perla" is just a pizzeria is an understatement. It's an experience, and honestly, it's my favorite place in Lecce. If you're tired of the same old chewy or heavy pizzas, you absolutely must come here. The real magic is in the hands of Francesco, the pizza chef/owner. He's an artist! So much so, he's been in the newspapers. His pizzas, besides being incredibly good, are disarmingly light, thin like life's pleasures, and so easy to digest that I couldn't believe it the first time. I swear, I'm one of those people who sometimes feels weighed down by half a pizza, but here I can eat two whole ones without the slightest problem! You leave the table satisfied but not bloated. It's a deliciousness that goes beyond taste; it's a sensation of well-being. And speaking of Francesco: discovering his story left me speechless. This man has cooked and made pizzas for people of the caliber of Pavarotti, one of many! These aren't empty words; we're talking about someone with truly "golden hands" and unparalleled experience. It's not presumption, it's the reality: they are the best in this field. Besides the amazing food, the thing that keeps me coming back is the atmosphere. Kindness is a hallmark. Everyone is so genuine and approachable, they immediately make you feel part of the family. In an era where many restaurants are cold and impersonal, here you'll find a warmth and professionalism that deserves all the praise in the world. In short: If you're looking for a truly thin, light pizza, with the freshest ingredients, made by a master and served by exquisite people, "La Perla" is the only answer. Five well-deserved stars. Go there!

14/09/2025: Always a positive experience. We've eaten at this little restaurant several times and have always had a great time. Good quality at a fair price.

04/09/2025: Mediocre quality (mostly we were served reheated food, not cooked—it arrived promptly), below-average portions, and restaurant-like prices (even though it's just a chip shop). The prices are ridiculous for what you get. There are definitely better places nearby where you can eat well and get your money's worth.

26/07/2025: Ristorante all' aperto in piazza, staff gentile e preparato. Siamo venuti in vacanza in Puglia e abbiamo trovato questo ristorante su internet. Si mangia benissimo,prodotti freschi e preparati con maestria. Hanno accettato la richiesta fuori menù di mio figlio che ha chiesto la pasta alla carbonara e i ragazzi non hanno esitato avendo a disposizione gli ingredienti a cucinarla per lui! I tiramisù sono buonissimi e anche i primi. I prezzi sono giusti...😍ci tornerei con piacere

26/06/2025: Endroit sympathique pour un dîner, cuisine italienne. Serveurs très gentils et efficaces. On peut prendre du vin au pichet. Ambiance très sympathique sur cette belle place.

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.

11/06/2025: Typical tourist lunch (in the good sense) on tables in a characteristic street, excellent food and very kind staff. Prices consistent with the good quality food. We had an excellent and generous Hawaiian poke. 2 Pucce "Primitiva" and 1 Hamburger di scottona with chips, wonderful. With two bottles of water, two cokes, two small bottles of beer and a glass of iced tea we spent 64 euros. In general... highly recommended.

02/06/2025: Highly recommended for those who, like me, are gluten intolerant. I was finally able to taste an excellent parmigiana (the aubergines had not been floured and fried) and a very tasty dish of broad beans and chicory. The place is only apparently small (there were eight of us and we had a good time) and the selection of wines is exceptional. The owner, then, is an exquisite person.
