I migliori ristoranti di cucina vegetariana in Lecce

08/06/2026: Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Salento, featuring fresh, local produce. A top-notch set menu. The portions are generous (don't eat too much before you arrive, as they only seem to be open in the evenings). Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere… this was our second visit, and we'll definitely be back every time we return to the area. Thank you 🙏

03/05/2026: Very nice concept! Had a delicious meal!

26/10/2025: Kudos to the owners for the kindness they show their dear, kind, and friendly 7-year-old daughter! She's attentive to service and every customer request! At just 7, she takes orders! This is what it means to love your children; they're learning the true values ​​of life, respect, and a challenging profession! Delicious pizza! A welcoming and quaint place, with attention to detail, stunning vaults, and a very quiet atmosphere! A great place to spend a relaxing evening. We'll definitely be back!

04/10/2025: The food was delicious. The locals come here and are very friendly.

06/03/2026: The waitress/family was wonderful. She helped us by explaining in English some items on the perfect sized menu. All 4 of us liked the food and wine. Especially loved the savory the Antipasti Verdure.

19/02/2026: Dinner organized at the last minute. Excellent food, impeccable service, exquisite courtesy, family atmosphere, reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

25/01/2026: Very nice and welcoming place. Impeccable service, tasty appetizers and pizza!

24/12/2025: La Grottella is one of our absolute favorite places, a cute and super welcoming place where my family and I come so often—often even a couple of times a week! ❤️ We love the relaxed, family atmosphere, perfect for a quiet dinner or just spending time together. The staff is always friendly and helpful, making us feel at home every time we return. Roberta is fantastic. The cuisine is typical and authentic, with dishes that reflect Salento tradition, but the real star for us is the pizza: thin, thin, light, and truly delicious—well-seasoned and easy to digest. If you're looking for a place with local cuisine, excellent pizza, and a feel-good atmosphere, La Grottella is highly recommended. A regular in Melissano! 🍕🍷

31/05/2026: Yumi Izakaya is probably one of the best Asian restaurants in Puglia. The well-maintained restaurant is spread across two floors: the ground floor features an open kitchen, while the second floor features an elegant horseshoe-shaped counter. The latter, however, is almost intimidating: sitting there, you expect a chef intent on preparing the food with classic Japanese precision and kindness, but in the end, you find yourself faced with nothing, almost wondering, "So what?" For beginners, it's also not easy to figure out how to order. After several minutes, the waiter arrives immediately to take the order, when you'd expect someone ready to explain the process or how the menu works. Much to our disappointment, we then discover that the restaurant no longer prepares fresh fish from the catch of the day. And this is where, for many customers, a world closes in. Because that's what they went to Yumi for: a freshly prepared nigiri with fresh shrimp, or sashimi precisely sliced ​​in front of the customer. Today, however, the menu focuses primarily on fried foods and broths. The quality remains impeccable: the egg is soft and creamy on the inside, the eel is delicious, as is the blue crab, tender and flavorful. In conclusion, the food is excellent, but many say that after eliminating the fresh fish, the restaurant has lost part of its true identity.

30/05/2026: It was fun. The experience of a Japanese dinner with the opportunity to try multiple dishes was positive. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, and the food was definitely good.

04/05/2026: A very nice place, but it's not exactly quiet because it's full of kids. The pizzas are good, the service is excellent, the waitresses are friendly and fast, and there's not much staff and a lot of customers. The prices are average.

06/02/2026: Very noisy restaurant for what it is... the service is good and the food is absolutely excellent. I recommend it if you like pizza in a noisy environment.

10/05/2026: A quaint and welcoming place, with knowledgeable and fast staff and excellent, high-quality food. We'll definitely be back!

04/05/2026: Excellent service, exquisite food Wonderful owners, truly compliments! Varied menu from pizza to meat to Salento pucce, etc. 5 well-deserved stars!!!

04/03/2026: Before 1 p.m.they serve you the leftovers from yesterday. Do not go there. The service is very bad.

25/12/2025: The food was sour, 20 euros wasted.

09/06/2026: Exceptional pizza, pizza available by the meter and also has a gluten-free laboratory

05/04/2026: The owner is friendly and helpful, they offer good service and also have gluten-free products available!!!

09/05/2026: A very nice place with beautiful decor! The food was excellent!

06/05/2026: The best part first – they offer a really good house wine, a Vino Rosso. The appetizer, Frittura mista gamberi e calamar, was frozen and extremely dry. The pizzas were good. A cover charge for a 5-year-old is completely unacceptable.

12/06/2026: Top food, very nice atmosphere, kindness and courtesy

21/04/2026: Rocco, a kind, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable person! Top!! EXCELLENT food! .. thank you Paola

11/02/2026: The waiter comes to the table and rudely confronts me after pointing out that a very simple first course (pasta) arrived almost an hour after ordering, in a very sparsely crowded restaurant (on a Wednesday evening). The fish and chips appetizer we ordered (€27) was devoured in 5 minutes, and the wait for the first course was 48 minutes, as stated by the same waiter to whom I mentioned our inconvenience (he was desperate to be right). Does this seem normal to you? We're not talking about a risotto with special creaminess and long cooking times, but a very simple first course, quite mediocre, I must say, especially the cacio e pepe with prawns; the ciceri e tria was definitely more decent. From the heated discussion that ensued at the table, in the presence of other customers who also received their dishes very late, as they themselves stated, they consider it perfectly normal for the dish to be served at the table so long after ordering. Considering the discreet atmosphere and the price of each dish, I don't think such unnerving wait times are normal, much less the staff's rude response to our disappointment. We've also noticed that they're very good at not caring and just running the cashier as if nothing was wrong! 👏

08/03/2026: IT IS NO LONGER THE FAMOUS BAR DA PAOLO OF THE PAST, while you are having an aperitif or breakfast, there is an invasion of pigeons that walk under the tables, breakfast is expensive and aperitif is very expensive, the calzone like the pasticciotto pugliese are no longer as good as they once were, TO AVOID There are many superior ones, clean and with an excellent balance between price and quality

25/01/2026: Very nice and tasty snacks, puzza, rustici. Large selection. At very good prices.

11/06/2026: The best dinner during a week's vacation in Salento. The cuisine is exquisite: the authenticity of the dishes is evident from the first bite. The excellent cuisine is complemented by the owners' friendliness. Highly recommended.

11/06/2026: Excellent, traditional dishes. I recommend the cavatielli with mussels and beans, delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. Come, we had a great time!
