I migliori ristoranti in Lecce

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.

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.

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.

01/11/2025: Halloween Night A venue with entertainment and live music, average food, and a limited wine selection. The octopus and potato salad was average, the chopped beef was so-so, the Angus asado was nothing special, and the tiramisu was forgettable. Overall, unfortunately, the quality/price ratio was inadequate for the offerings in a beautiful setting. Beware of the €3 cloakroom fee per person, which isn't specified at the entrance!

01/11/2025: The place and the staff are very polite and cheerful with everyone. As for the atmosphere, I'm absolutely satisfied. 🌟 There are, however, a few things that didn't leave a good impression on me, especially considering it was my first time here: 1️⃣ They told us they would store our coats and jackets, but they didn't specify that we had to pay to collect them. This is a mistake, because all costs should be clearly disclosed to avoid unpleasant surprises. 2️⃣ I ordered octopus with potatoes, but they brought me another, more expensive dish, with small octopus in a sauce that wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't what I'd asked for, and it was also the most expensive of the similar dishes I'd mentioned to the waitress. Sure, some might say, "You could have brought the dish back." But I'm not so miserable as to bring a dish for just €6 or €7 more. Oh well! Anyway, it's not pleasant to ask for one thing and get something else. Luckily, the food was always good. I ate it all. 3️⃣ I recommend checking your receipts carefully 🧾, because they added a burger we never ordered and wanted to charge us for it.

16/04/2025: Excellent, very digestible pizza. Top-quality ingredients and prompt service. Would definitely return.

04/11/2025: I have been going to this bar for years, to buy various items, to enjoy a good aperitif or to sip an excellent coffee, plus it is open 24 hours, excellent I would say

14/10/2025: I worked in this WONDERFUL place Massimo and like a father to me still today the 2 brothers Stefano and Carlo 2 exceptional guys have always treated me well and today if I am this type of bartender it is only thanks to them thanks for everything recommended place

12/09/2025: Fantastic rustic dishes that you absolutely have to try

05/09/2025: Really good freshly baked rustici. Breakfast included cappuccino and a delicious, still-warm pasticciotto. Well done!

13/12/2025: Excellent food and a wonderful experience. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were spot-on, clearly made with high-quality ingredients, and cooked with real care. Everything we tried was delicious, and the food easily stood out as the highlight of the visit. I would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent Italian cuisine.

09/12/2025: Meal with pasta and seas food was good. Starter with parmigiana and squid was not my favourite. Price on the high side.

28/07/2025: Esperienza culinaria indimenticabile! Sono stata in questo ristorante per la prima volta e ne sono rimasta entusiasta. L’atmosfera è accogliente, curata nei minimi dettagli, perfetta sia per una cena romantica che per una serata tra amici. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: personale gentile, attento ma mai invadente. Il cibo? Semplicemente eccellente. Ingredienti freschissimi, presentazione raffinata e sapori bilanciati. Ogni portata è stata una scoperta, davvero straordinario! Rapporto qualità-prezzo giustissimo per il livello offerto. Tornerò sicuramente. Consigliatissimo!

24/07/2025: Purtroppo un' esperienza non positiva! ho provato a cenare e dopo essermi accomodato al tavolo prenotato ho dovuto chiamare il giovane cameriere per aprire la mia ordinazione chiedendo consiglio sul pescato del giorno e chiedendo di orientare la cena sul cotto e non sul crudo, mi viene consigliato UNA bruschetta di stracciatella e gamberetti come antipasto e DUE paccheri con rana pescatrice come primo ed il secondo da valutare con calma, in più un semplice rosato da quasi una quindicina di euro. Ok! Nell' attesa il tavolo di fianco fuma sigarette come se non ci fosse un domani (la buona educazione dei cari camerieri accaniti per i loro validi motivi a questo tavolo avrebbero tra " dovuto placare questo continuo fumare) Arriva la bruschetta solo stracciatella i gamberetti quasi a dire inesistenti Ok pazienza! Arrivano i primi credetemi a me piace la cucina "cucinare" ed ho vissuto molti anni della mia vita nella ristorazione. Però purtroppo trattasi di paccheri al pomodoro con una pescatrice scotta, quasi pappina che ho lasciato nel piatto senza finire di mangiare. Al chè mi alzo chiamo il giovane e gentile cameriere e chiedo di andare via perché stava andando tutto male "in modo molto silenzioso ed educato" dichiarando che non ero assolutamente soddisfatto del mangiare e dei fastidiosi "turchi" fumatori del tavolo accanto stop. Giustamente si intromette nel discorso una persona forse il proprietario da dietro il banco del pesce (ci mancherebbe...) gli spiego il tutto anche a lui sempre in educazione e sottovoce nella sala. Mi viene data risposta che il pesce è fresco e non è colpa loro che i clienti fumano. Ci credo! non lo metto in dubbio! però la qualità come dice Lei, va saputa preparare, per l amore di Dio può capitare un piccolo intoppo, ma io da buon ristoratore e buon salentino avrei rimediato in maniera elegante e superiore. Al semplice e quasi volgare alzare i toni nel locale e sbattermi il pos in faccia Di 100 EURO PER UNA BRUSCHETTA DUE PRIMI ED UNA BOTTIGLIA DI 14 ERUO UNA RECENZIONE PERSONALE POI MAGARI CI STA IL PASSANTE TURISTA DI TURNO CHE AFFAMATO MANGIA E TACE. Ragazzi si può dire quello che si vuole mille ragioni e mille torti! Mi dispiace ma non è così che si tratta un cliente che ha una lamentela o un problema. Poi se si lavora sul passante la qualità non ha valore. PURTROPPO NON LO CONSIGLIO 'DICIAMO' che nella confusione non ho avuto lo scontrino ma solo la ricevuta pos che allego POSSO AVERE LO SCONTRINO PER CAPIRE I DETTAGLI SONO CURIOSO GRAZIE. Non dovrebbe essere un problema averlo, dato che ho "cenato" stasera Ps: Ho dovuto terminare la mia cena in un altro locale.

06/07/2025: Rude is an understatement, when I asked if the bread was fresh (meaning if it was daily) they laughed at me making jokes among themselves. There is little to laugh about. Learn to work with the right respect for people (which you do not have).

21/06/2025: The only flaw is the banal environment. Everything else is top notch. Lots of bread but also lots of baked goods that are always tasty
