I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

26/09/2025: There's no escaping it: fresh, homemade products are worth buying...good, genuine, simple; pre-processed, industrial ones, especially if poorly reheated in the microwave, are almost inedible. It's a shame to find this gap. You have to know how to choose. Otherwise, they're down-to-earth, in a place that's not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but certainly does a lot of business. With a little more research, it could be even more enjoyable to return. Even when it comes to prices, some are out of line, while others are fair, if only for the quality.

23/09/2025: When your 22-month-old daughter...or everything she's eaten...says it's good...we can't help but come back every time we pass by. Thank you so much... Tecla thanks

22/08/2025: Forno Ruspante. If you're looking for Ruspini, you'll find it. You'll sell your soul to get a piece at 5:30 in the morning. The sign is the North Star of the direction. You walk in with a Ruspini smell that kills you inside.

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.

30/09/2025: Barista, I think he's also the owner of the bar, grumpy, coffee is like drinking pure poison, croissants are good but you can find them in any other bar where maybe they'll give you a smile and say thank you!

01/09/2025: A gem of a bar near the most beautiful beach in Puglia. Delicious Lecce coffee and a highly recommended hazelnut pasticciotto. Thanks Mattia for the tip! Extremely kind and honest with tourists, which unfortunately isn't always the case. A 110 with honors.

24/10/2025: Food was so good we came back twice! Staff here are super friendly which makes the overall dining experience even better. We had different pasta dishes each day. So happy I got to try the pasta with horse meat and I loved the pasta with tuna. I’ll be thinking about this place for a while and can’t wait to dine here again in the future!

26/09/2025: Ordered 2 pasta dishes and both were fantastic. Horse meat ragu was incredible as well as the tuna pasta. Staff is fast and friendly

30/10/2025: I found it a bit expensive and a little oily. Panino tomato tuna €9, café americano €3.50, perhaps because I had something similar yesterday in Lacco Ameno that was cheaper and tastier.

14/10/2025: We went there while strolling through the streets, the panini was very good, very crispy, the best. The service was good, two girls were at the bar very nice

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!

16/10/2025: In my opinion, this is the best restaurant I've tried in Italy. First-class service, excellent dishes, both pizzas and pastas, scallops, and the perfect tiramisu. A restaurant run by a very friendly family. The penne all'arabiata are a marvel... in a spectacular location.

04/08/2025: Un location che consente relax e tranquillità
