I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

26/08/2025: The best coffee in Galatina…by far!

28/06/2025: A worker made fun of me just because I asked for a glass of sparkling water

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.

30/09/2025: A small, unassuming village restaurant, but the food is good and the prices are very reasonable! Warm welcome and service!!

18/09/2025: Everything was to our complete satisfaction.

04/06/2025: Claudio and his family are a symbol of Piazza Bottazzi. The Bar Signore is a guarantee with all its delicacies, especially pasticciotti, fruttani and rustici... oh I forgot the fagotto alle mele!

28/05/2025: Excellent service, very welcoming atmosphere. Excellent pastries and rotisserie. The rustica is excellent. It's a spectacle of flavor and softness.

22/07/2025: One word, from the starters to the main courses and even the pinza... EXCEPTIONAL.

13/07/2025: Excellent, as the name suggests, quick lunch or genuine takeaway and very kind staff.

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.

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

14/10/2025: Drinks paid 4 euros first time, usually 2.50-3 euros

11/10/2025: Excellent food for a simple lunch. They had a spinach frittata that was very good. Has been missing such food in our trip. Everything we had was good, including the coffee. The location is not stunning as it is in a main road but the rest makes up for it.

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...

07/11/2025: Excellent pizza, light dough. Friendly staff, highly recommended! 🍕

15/10/2025: We went on a Saturday evening with family, and right at the door, no one greeted us, no one knew where to seat us. The waiters were completely chaotic, awkward, and disorganized, wandering around aimlessly, not knowing which table to take the dishes to. The pizzas arrived cold and with ingredients of dubious freshness: the pancetta in particular smelled and tasted terrible, it seemed stale. When it came time to pay, the owner left us waiting while she chatted calmly with a friend, completely ignoring us. When she finally gave us the receipt, we discovered it wasn't even a receipt, just the order! We went back to ask for an explanation, and, with great feigned surprise, she said she had "made a mistake." Of course, of course. Warning: they don't issue receipts.

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.

18/09/2025: Excellent pizza, with a light dough that suggests quality ingredients. Friendly staff and fast service. Highly recommended!

06/09/2025: I'm sorry to leave this review late, but I couldn't do it sooner. I ordered the gluten-free pizza a long time ago, and it was as good as ever, but there was a serious problem. We asked what was in the vegan cheese, but they certainly didn't tell us everything (unless they also changed the gluten-free label). I had a very severe allergic reaction during the night, and on Sunday morning I had to rush to the emergency room.
