I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

19/11/2025: Tourist trap!!! Foreigners AVOID at ALL COSTS!!!

15/10/2025: One coffe and one orange juice : 9.50 euros. I left my American husband to pay as I went to the bathroom. I came back to find the ridiculous price . I called the waiter and asked “how much is an orange juice ?” “4.50” “and a coffee?” “Well a coffee… why?” So I showed him how much I was charged. He went to take care of it and refunded me the money . Apparently a mistake . But I know it wasn’t a mistake it is the game “let’s take advantage of tourists and screw them over”. What a shame . We have a house nearby , we will never go back. The waiter who refunded us the money was nice though, but we all knew what really happened there. (Also if the mistake was that they charged us for two orange juices and a coffee the total is not 9.50 either)

15/09/2025: Good for a quick meal, nothing amazing but the flavors are there. Service a little rushed but not unpleasant.

07/09/2025: Catastrophic!!!! A typical Italian restaurant, with no fresh produce... The server was rude and lacking in empathy. Not even a thank you or goodbye.

23/11/2025: Why so expensive? And the food was cold? And took long. Nice waiter though

09/11/2025: Don't look at the low ratings given by others who didn't mention the food. This deli was recommended to me by a resident of central Lecce, and it proved to be EXCELLENT both for the quality of the products and the attentive, friendly service. All the typical dishes were carefully and kindly explained by the waiter. I tried the orecchiette with turnip tops, which my companion, who is from Puglia, also loved. He found them expertly cooked, with an excellent blend of ingredients that brought out the flavor. All this in a beautiful little square in the historic center, where you can sit indoors or outdoors. The recommended local wine, a Negroamaro, was also excellent. I highly recommend it!

24/09/2025: Super delicious salad, very creative salad, sandwich and pucce (Apulian bread) creations.

17/09/2025: Absolutely charming staff! Very beautiful setting!

06/10/2025: The pizzas were long-awaited, it seemed like you were eating biscuits, there was very little toppings, there was no danger of them falling off the plate.

27/09/2025: Amazing!!!😃 Excellent super light pizza I highly recommend 👌

03/11/2025: Wonderful Japanese restaurant with an à la carte menu just outside Lecce, right on the northern ring road. Welcoming and modern. The menu offers many interesting options, and the ones we tried were very good. The grilled gyoza are unforgettable. Fast and friendly service. Great prices considering the quality of the food. Free parking a 3-minute walk from the restaurant.

12/10/2025: Quiet and cozy restaurant. We were two lactose intolerant people and they advised us very well. They even adapted a dish for us. Highly recommended.

10/12/2025: The restaurant is located on a narrow street in the small historic center of the town that gave birth to the genius of Leonardo. The space is spacious, with two large dining rooms, but a bit spartan, although the exposed grill in the kitchen is truly unique. The menu offers few unique appetizers and first courses, but stands out for its second courses. The prosciutto appetizer, crostini with Tuscan sauce (served separately), and the accompanying focaccia are quite good. Among the first courses, among many dishes more suited to tourists and with little to do with Tuscan tradition, I would recommend the excellent pappardelle with wild boar. The restaurant's strong point is the grill, with the ever-present Florentine steak (which, however, is served on a spectacular hot grill that unfortunately continues to cook it...a tourist-friendly idea, but not for those who like it rare), the tagliata, the cockerel, and the rabbit. Off the grill, the wild boar stew is truly remarkable. For those craving dessert, you can finish with their tiramisu (truly delicious) or some excellent Prato biscuits with Vin Santo. I opted for the wild boar (on pappardelle and stewed)...Top. The wine list is not bad. The service is good. I recommend it to anyone who loves grilled meat or wild boar.

08/12/2025: Dishes prepared with quality food and cooked to perfection, nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, this isn't a flaw but a virtue: the steaks and all the grilled meats are served on a very hot griddle, so they continue to cook at the table. This gives the pleasure of tasting the meat perfectly, but your clothes become stinky. The price of tasting good, I repeat, perfectly. The price of the dinner is more than fair. Highly recommended.

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.

27/07/2025: Attention! It's not a daytime pozzeria! Weekend only and from 6 p.m.!!!!

12/07/2025: Very tasty, highly recommended. The Pizza da Lodo was amazing.

13/11/2025: Terrible experience, we waited over two hours for four pizzas, not to mention the place is stuck in the 1970s, with broken chairs and post-war tables. In 40 years, I've never found a place this run-down...

29/07/2025: Pizzas and insalata di mare are very good, the service too, the noise is sometimes a little too much but there small covered terrace allows for more peace and quiet, the prices are good.

11/10/2025: Service first class, amazing home made lasagna. Wine selection was very interesting local and international options. Pier has an encyclopaedic knowledge of wines and is just such a lovely man.

16/09/2025: Average food and a bit slow staff

29/09/2025: Dissatisfied: - Green and inaccessible pool (no warning) - Poorly insulated room - Doorjamb not secured (fell on my head) - Bad slope in the shower = pool (there it is!!) - Water not always hot.... - Very average €15 breakfast -....

05/07/2025: Hotel with great location near the best beaches from 5 min to 20 min to reach them. Very good restaurant food. Very kind and helpful staff.

30/11/2025: Very nice location. Everything was delicious; we chose the all-you-can-eat option. The staff was friendly and very honest, including the Japanese woman who, by mistake, came to ask about our order (they had mistakenly ordered 130 pieces). I recommend trying the Peking duck, gunkan with fried shrimp, and mille-feuille. The only downside is that the temperature is a bit cold.

23/11/2025: The food is good, but the service is very slow.

24/09/2025: Very tasty food. The pizza is absolutely amazing.

16/09/2025: We went for dinner in mid-September. We had a fish starter and a grilled fish dish. The starters were good, and the main course was decent. Nothing special, but still good, fair enough. The location was nothing special. Prices were average, in my opinion, for what we ate.

08/11/2025: I went for a coffee, I would say it was quite good, I don't mind the table service but I do complain about the toilet facilities not being up to standard, I hit the corner of the towel mounted too low and cut my forehead without the owner caring if I needed anything.

05/11/2025: Excellent products, friendly, and prompt service! We ordered lunch boxes for a group and had a great time. Piero is truly kind and helpful, and his products are delicious. The pastries are mouth-watering! We'll definitely be using them again.
