I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

27/05/2025: Courteous and helpful staff. Quiet little place. Varied menu, with many first courses available, from meat to fish to pizzeria. I attach some photos of the dinner served in this restaurant. The pizza is cooked in a wood oven, and in winter there is the possibility of dining next to the lit fireplace, which makes this restaurant my absolute favourite. The pizza topped with onion, dried tomatoes and chips, tortelli with gratin cheeses baked, pappardelle with porcini mushrooms, seafood salad and frying. I forgot to photograph the pizza, thin and well seasoned. Stupendous.

22/04/2025: The food is good and the atmosphere is welcoming and homely.

09/10/2025: We had already been there four years ago, and we've returned twice on this holiday to Castro, and it's always a confirmation. Beautiful location.

08/09/2025: There was only one thing I didn't like: besides paying the cover charge, which is right, they charge for the bread separately.

11/11/2025: A traditional, non-wood-fired oven, it offers takeout food, from bread and muffins to focaccia, pot pies, all kinds of friselle, and much more. The only thing that could be improved is the stuffed pulce, which are often too thin, like the whole-grain bread it contains, which, in my opinion, has a low percentage of grains compared to the wheat used.

12/10/2025: I recommend it for the texture of their bread, which is particularly soft compared to other bakeries. It's even better when eaten warm.

30/11/2025: Excellent restaurant. It's my favorite restaurant. Excellent meat and friendly staff.

10/11/2025: Beautiful rooms and lovely garden

15/06/2025: Kindness is their real success. Really very kind people. The food is prepared well, quickly and is very good. Well done!!!

31/05/2025: Place not suitable for vegetarians/vegans. Entered with enthusiasm, left with disappointment. I read "100% vegan line" and then I discover that the vegan burgers are cooked on the same plate as the meat. No, it's not a joke. I think it's right to point out that offering a vegan line also implies avoiding contamination, otherwise we can't talk about truly vegan dishes. It's a question of respect for those who have chosen a vegan lifestyle for ethical, environmental or health reasons.

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

02/10/2025: Disappointing cocktail and gloomy atmosphere 😞, I don't recommend it

09/11/2025: Pleasantly surprised! Excellent food, perfectly timed and non-painful service. You can fully appreciate the flavors of the food, without them becoming muddled and boring. Friendly and polite. My only suggestion would be to remove the Chinese lanterns, which don't match the elegant decor. Off-menu prices are a bit high, but the quality makes up for it.

07/11/2025: Positive experience. Very kind and attentive staff. Fair prices and excellent fish quality.

19/10/2025: A wonderful location surrounded by greenery, just a stone's throw from Gallipoli, a rustic establishment offering simple yet refined dishes. The quality of the food is excellent, from the appetizers to the first and second courses. The antipasto was rich and delicious, and the first courses were excellent. We opted for the meat course, which was delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful. We were very satisfied.

13/09/2025: We were thrilled with the cuisine, service, and location at Calamate. We stayed in Gallipoli for 12 days, and we ate there four times. It was undoubtedly the best dinners of the entire trip. The appetizer selection—the burratina, the homemade orecchiette, and the bombette (which we tried breaded and baked here)—were all exceptional, as were the grilled red tuna and the pasta with scampi. The ingredients are excellent, and the price, in my opinion, perfectly in line with what's on offer. If you're in Gallipoli, it's worth a visit!

15/11/2025: Small, cozy place, excellent food, friendly service, and jazz music. Recommended.

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!

07/10/2025: The Bar was much better when the old girls were there, it will lose a lot of people because of this

11/08/2025: I happened upon this bar by chance. I had a superb, expertly crafted cappuccino. I highly recommend it.

21/09/2025: Thirty minutes to order two coffees, despite reminders, nothing.

20/09/2025: I went for breakfast with friends a few months ago at Caffè Rudiae near Porta Rudiae, and I must say I was very impressed. It's a historic and truly unique place: charming retro decor, with myriads of clocks, toys, paintings, vintage objects, and much more that make it one of a kind. The place is very welcoming and has both an intimate and quaint indoor room and a spacious outdoor area that's perfect for al fresco dining in the summer. The display case is immense and overflowing with all kinds of desserts—the pasticciotto, of course, was a must. We tried the classic one and one with lemon cream, which was truly special, accompanied by an excellent cappuccino. The staff is extremely kind, professional, and helpful: they even patiently handled a friend of ours's change of heart without any problem. The prices are excellent and affordable. I'll definitely be back to try something else, and I highly recommend anyone passing through Lecce to stop here: not only for the uniqueness of the place, which alone makes a statement, but also for the quality and deliciousness of the products.

09/09/2025: We wanted to try some truly authentic food, away from the tourist hotspots. Our expectations were far exceeded. Friendly staff, good and patient advice, and delicious pizzas. And of course, there are always some complainers. In any case, we enjoyed our meal and will be back.

07/09/2025: The restaurant and pizzeria is located in a charming little square in front of the 1595 Duomo. The manager and staff are very helpful and kind. The traditional first courses are very tasty and delicious. The quality and price are appreciated.

12/10/2025: We wanted to try the pizza, especially the gluten-free version, which is hard to find with a homemade crust. We were completely satisfied with the gluten-free and traditional dough. The place is small, yet cozy, with only a few seats. There's no table service; everything is picked up at the counter. The menu lists a huge number of possible pizzas, perhaps around forty.

22/08/2025: A late stop on our return trip. As a family with two children, we received a very warm welcome, and the pizzas were delicious and the sandwiches generous. A great place.

16/07/2025: Cena ECCELLENTE . Agriturismo immerso nel verde della campagna sulla litoranea a sud di Otranto. Cibo genuino, del territorio e di qualità ottima. Sapori autentici in piatti presentati davvero bene. Porzioni abbondanti e rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo! Complimenti ai giovani ma già capacissimi ragazzi della cucina e ai gentilissimi titolari. Esperienza da ripetere! Consigliatissimo

15/07/2025: Mi è stato consigliato. Devo dire tutto ottimo: posto incantevole, personale gentile, piatto eccezionale. Il menù propone una vasta scelta tra terra e mare. Consiglio!!
