I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

31/10/2025: We stopped by Sascianne for its reopening. We were welcomed by Giovanna and Claudio, two hosts worthy of the name. We ordered an appetizer and ravioli. We'd already won us over with the appetizer, but the lobster ravioli in shrimp ragù absolutely blew us away. Everything was exquisite and carefully prepared, but above all, light and flavorful. We finished with a Nutella panna cotta. In short, we'll definitely be returning to this little restaurant in a truly unique location.

06/10/2025: Terrible restaurant!!! We ordered a seafood appetizer with six courses, and after a bit of a wait, one course arrived every 10-15 minutes. Over the course of over an hour, we received five courses, only two of which matched the ones listed on the menu. We ordered white pasta for the kids, and they brought us half-cooked orecchiette.

01/01/2026: ....Not recommended! Trust me....New Year's Eve Party 👎🏼

26/08/2025: While strolling through the town streets before dinner, we stumbled upon this truly charming and unique bar. The many positive reviews of their drinks piqued our curiosity, and we can confirm: they're truly worth it! 🍸 Michele, who looked after us, was kind and attentive, as well as very skilled at making cocktails. He also recommended some local gins, making the experience even more enjoyable. A truly memorable place, definitely worth a visit.

24/08/2025: Rude waiters and owner. There are much friendlier places all around that serve happy hour aperitif with food included in their drink price. View is not great.

15/09/2025: Two hours—and I mean two hours—of waiting, and when it finally comes, the insult comes: three out of six items are missing, paid for and forgotten. The food, let's be clear, isn't the problem: good, with a varied and tasty menu. Two hours of waiting can still pass, albeit with difficulty, but discovering that, after so long, what we'd already paid for had been "forgotten" is a far greater affront than the slowness. It's not a matter of distraction, but of disrespect: the customer is not an optional extra to be treated lightly. The sore point, however, isn't limited to the wait or the inefficiency. What makes the experience truly indigestible is the attitude of the ladies at the counter: a lethal cocktail of rudeness, arrogance, and impoliteness that manages to sap even the last vestige of appetite. The feeling isn't of being welcomed, but barely tolerated, as if the customer were an intruder and not the very reason for the business. Bottom line: the food is good, but there's no fried food in the world worth two hours of humiliation and waiting. If patience were edible, I'd leave feeling full.

26/08/2025: Excellent food, a little small in the place as there is limited seating. Takeaway is more convenient.

15/09/2025: Discreet and welcoming place... Good service and courtesy

14/09/2025: A quiet place to eat well without pretensions. We'd say it's medium-low, but the small garden elevates the location a bit. The mixed fried food and antipasti are delicious, and we continued with pucce and pizzas. They have a little bit of everything and cater to everyone, so you're sure to find something here. Recommended for quiet evenings after the beach or before a stroll around Torre Lapillo.

30/09/2025: I've been coming here every day for eight years when I'm in Salento. It's excellent for anyone looking for a healthy or tasty lunch. I can't find the same speed, quality, and flavor anywhere else, even though I travel around Italy every month.

21/09/2025: Unfortunately not always open even though it is stated on the door.

09/11/2025: All it took was reading the reviews. I ate a takeout tray of seafood salad with a colleague of mine, who had fried food instead. He was fine, but I wasn't. I had food poisoning and am still very ill. Still undecided whether to report the incident, but I'm thinking about it!

21/09/2025: By far, in our experience, the best retailer of frozen and deep-frozen fish products in the province of Lecce.

24/11/2025: Large place...fast and excellent service

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!

08/09/2025: We tried to order from this place twice, and both times they were out of stock. Only a few pieces of rotisserie, days old. The place is poorly maintained. The staff is disinterested and sloppy. A terrible experience.

18/08/2025: A small restaurant in the center of San Foca. You can order takeout or sit down, as we did. We had the Apulian bombette, with a side of fries and salad. The bombette were delicious, but it's a shame they didn't have much cheese inside. Their calzone is also very good, with a flavorful crust and a generous filling. Recommended!

22/11/2025: It's a shame there's no gluten-free option.

02/11/2025: Excellent pastry shop, excellent coffee shop, very kind staff and owners. I love fruttatone and I think the one at Estro e Dolcezze is the best I've ever eaten, delicious! Congratulations!

15/03/2026: A bar that offers anything you can think of, plus a pizzeria that lives up to your expectations.

03/01/2026: I'm sorry, it was a terrible evening. Perhaps this was the only time we danced given the limited space in the rooms, and honestly I've never been to a dinner where there wasn't even a countdown to midnight... not to mention the rest. Nice music, but absolutely not suitable for a New Year's Eve dinner. I'm sorry, but it was a terrible experience, not to be repeated.

01/01/2026: Wonderful family Christmas, top-notch cuisine, delicious food and lots of it in a luxurious farmhouse surrounded by greenery. We will definitely be back soon, so keep it up.

26/01/2026: A perfect evening in great company. We shared dinner with friends, a relaxed atmosphere, and excellent food. Every dish was carefully prepared, from the appetizers to the first courses, from the pizzas to the main courses, and even the dessert. The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and unobtrusive. We felt at home. We'll be back soon.

25/10/2025: Pleasant atmosphere, traditional but high-quality cuisine and pizza. Noise within limits, considering the size of the room. Careful and fairly wide wine selection. Positive note (for my needs): non-alcoholic beer is also served.

23/07/2025: Negative. (1 star, and it was a gift.) I absolutely do not recommend it unless you want to make a bad impression. I had ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday, and I had promised her a character-themed cake. I'm traveling, and we had planned a party down to the last detail. Moral of the story? I was supposed to pick up the cake as agreed with the bakery (ordered a month in advance). I got there and it was closed. No cake. What a disappointment.

31/03/2025: Welcoming and above all clean place, the waitress served us with great kindness and professionalism. The desserts were beautiful to look at and to eat with a great variety to choose from.

21/02/2026: Urban Café is one of those places that feels "yours" from the moment you arrive... and for me, it always has. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, relaxed yet refined, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment. It's the ideal place for a relaxing aperitivo or an evening with friends over excellent pizza or a well-made drink. The food is truly delicious; you can taste the quality and attention to every detail. But the real difference is made by them: the staff. Highly trained, professional, always kind, and with that genuine smile that makes you want to come back. Urban Café isn't just a place, it's an experience. If you're looking for a place where you can feel at home but with something extra... this is it. ❤️

21/02/2026: The drinks are good, the food is even better. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is friendly. Recommended!
