I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

01/06/2026: Excellent pastries and friendly staff. It's a shame for the owner: witnessing an employee humiliated and berated in front of customers was embarrassing and unworthy of someone who should be running a business. A boss is known by how they treat their employees, not by how loudly they yell. If this is the atmosphere every morning, it's little wonder the staff seems to work with fear. Excellent products, but the human management definitely needs revising. A lesson in respect would do more good than any business management course. ★★☆☆☆

21/04/2026: Friendly and courteous staff. Very good pastries.

15/06/2026: Excellent fried foods... high quality meats... and excellent pizza

06/04/2026: Well, what can I say? Eating at Chernobyl would have been healthier. Easter Monday, set menu for €25. We were sitting inside, there wasn't much room, the tables were crowded together, one person getting up could easily block everyone else's path. On the tables were small plates of rather shoddy cured meats, placed there who knows how long ago. They were also on tables where no one was sitting. The fried foods were the only decent thing, because they were definitely frozen. The first course was a sticky pasta dish with a sauce vaguely reminiscent of the one in the kindergarten cafeteria, disgusting, so much so that even the neighboring tables complained. The mixed grill was a total disaster. Burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. No salt, and it wasn't even on the table. We refused to eat dessert either. The NAS likes this element.

18/05/2026: Poor customer awareness and attention.

22/04/2026: Quick snack, excellent value for money, the girl in the dining room was courteous and kind.

10/10/2025: I went to Svizi Cotti for lunch. There's nothing to complain about about the food, a truly wide selection for all tastes. The only thing I can say about desserts is that, aside from an apple pie and fried "pittule" with sugar, there's nothing else, and that's a shame. It's really not much. One or two cheesecakes, in my opinion, would give you that extra choice! Unfortunately, I have to say the atmosphere is very noisy. It's a place where you grab a quick bite and then leave, but at times, when it's really crowded, it becomes difficult to converse with the person sitting across from you. Regardless, I recommend it.

14/07/2025: Excellent food...the quality/price ratio is unmatched in the area. Great idea, well done!

24/07/2026: The puccia with octopus is not bad, the others rich in cured meats and sauces are too tasty, often with an excess of salt, the service is spartan but fast

19/07/2026: Beautiful and tasty pucce. Wide variety to choose from. Friendly and helpful staff with fast, high-quality table service. The restaurant is in good condition. A family atmosphere.

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.

08/03/2026: Welcoming atmosphere, we had very good pizza, pieces of horse meat in sauce, also very good

22/11/2025: Excellent professionalism...clean, good and friendly...but above all the pizza and not only that, is EXCELLENT...spectacle

01/05/2026: Excellent and fast service, tasty food, and fair prices. Beautiful view facing the castle. I recommend it.

01/05/2026: The food wasn't bad, but the portions weren't entirely satisfying; even the bread served was the bare minimum, but overall, the value for money wasn't bad. I had no complaints about the service, however. Finally, I didn't find the atmosphere particularly comfortable.

11/10/2025: Very bad food, just a waste of products, poor service, typical tourist trap.

17/09/2025: A very elegant, welcoming, and refined restaurant with the renowned chef Peppe Macchia in the kitchen. Here you can find delicious and original dishes, seafood, and excellent wines and champagnes for an unforgettable and unique dinner. The cuisine is both seafood and meat. Recommended!

26/07/2026: 👎🏻It's a very expensive experience, but it lacks adequate services. Parking is far away and expensive, and after parking, you have to take a shuttle to the beach. The beach is huge and very long, but there's only one bathroom for the entire area, too far for at least 80% of the people. There are no showers, except for one at the main entrance, which also requires a fee. 👎🏻 Furthermore, the price of an umbrella increases based on the distance from the entrance, but in my opinion, it's absolutely not worth it. 👎🏻 Compared to other facilities, this place offers nothing special. I personally strongly advise against it. 👎🏻

25/07/2026: Public land, you have to pay to get there. I mean, it's a dirt field used as a parking lot, filth everywhere, I pay €8 for parking, not even a fountain to rinse off the sand. Bar, no comment, rip-off prices, a beer that at the supermarket costs €1.10, here €6?? A spritz is €9?? This doesn't mean whoever manages it can't raise the prices, but this is authorized theft!! People staring at you, rude people and tourists, who knows you?? You think you're so smart... you're pathetic!!! Go to the public beach, bring everything from home, at least you don't have to see certain people. For goodness sake, we're losing our manners and respect... it's a total disgrace.

19/04/2026: A lovely, rustic and authentic restaurant in Cocumola, with a lovely fireplace that makes the place even more charming. The menu is simple yet substantial, featuring traditional Salento dishes. The pizzas are also delicious, particularly thin and light. The tubetti with mussels are amazing. Good service, and there's street parking in front of the restaurant.

22/02/2026: Everything good and very very kind

15/06/2026: Very good pizza, precise and punctual

14/06/2026: We're from Milan but came to Lecce on vacation, and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of their exceptional pizzas. Well done! Perfect service and kindness! Thanks for discovering you 🙏🏻

11/07/2026: The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful. The cuisine is splendid and special! We tried the fritto misto, which was a spectacle, and the maritati with seafood ragù and fresh tomatoes, which were top-notch! We recommend everyone to come and try it. We'll definitely be back! Gisella and Toni

11/07/2026: Quiet place. Kind and friendly. Fair prices and note the right amount of space between one umbrella and another. Beautiful day.

04/09/2025: Great place for holiday shopping. Very wide range, helpful staff and you can get a Puccia + drink at the bar (which is more of a bistro) for €6, which is an irresistible offer.

02/09/2025: Roberto's comment is completely out of place.... Are you normal? Exorbitant prices??!?! Where? You're at the seaside in Salento. The prices are much lower than any market in Bologna. If you come from Egypt and the prices seem high, that's your problem..... A tenner consumed at the bar is charged as if it were bought in the store. The store is stocked with everything you need. If this bar/market was missing, I would give Torre San Giovanni 3 stars. Great. Fresh vegetables, fruit, cold cuts, sandwiches, beers and spirits of all kinds. What more do you want at the seaside???? But look at the price of a beach umbrella sold by them....10 euros. The service is highly considered!!!!!! You feel at home!!!!!!
