Solid seafood spot. Plates are well prepared, ingredients are fresh. Service was efficient, got our order quickly. Good for a business lunch downtown. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

Their own olive oil is fantastic. You can really taste the difference it makes, especially on the simple bread they bring out. It&rsquo;s got this nice, peppery finish that just works.

The food is targeted for fish lover. The fresh fish is cooked in the oven with simple olive oil and herbs. This is wonderful. Additionally, the view is speechless.

The terrace is lovely and spacious, perfect for a sunny lunch. Just a heads up, my GPS took me to the back alley&mdash;the real entrance is down a flight of stairs.

Nice spot right by the water. The view was the real highlight for me. Had a simple pasta, nothing fancy, but it was good. Service was friendly and quick. A solid choice for the location.

Tried their take on classic pasta with local ingredients. Bold flavors, nicely done. A bit on the pricey side for a quick lunch, but the food came out fast. Got me in and out in under 30 minutes.

You would not expect a pizzaria in a strip mall to deliver this kind of quality. Not that it is impossible, but even most large houses do not take the trouble to source ingredients and provide caring service. Mauricio, as we learned, started his business on a shoestring 14 years ago. It has since blossomed post COVID. He expanded into the space next door. He sources the most exquisite cheeses from a young group of artisan cheesmakers from  the North. It&#39;s a king of gorgonzola that is dreamy, get some with your appetizer plate is coppocola, uncooked creamy prosciutto, and a craft beer and you are set to order one of his delicious pizzas. What a great time it was to hear of his philosophy and business success. If you don&#39;t feel like going out they also deliver. Super high quality ingredients, hell even the pepper is sourced from Madagascar. Skip the overpriced  fancy places in Lecce, dine like the locals , treat yourself to Pizza Carpe Diem

Cozy family-run spot. I appreciate how fresh the ingredients are in their salads. The greens were crisp, and the tomatoes tasted like they were just picked. A simple, wholesome meal.

Great food and wine. The restaurant was quite busy at lunch on a Tuesday so it has its reputation. We enjoyed the cold cut meat and a great Nero Di Trioa with our Primi. We recommend this place!

We had a nice meal here. The seafood was fresh and the portions were generous for the price. The service was friendly and prompt, which made for a relaxed evening. I appreciated that the tables were well-spaced, so it never felt crowded. A comfortable spot for a quiet dinner.

One of my best meals in Julia. Don&rsquo;t even hesitate to make a reservation here. The chef starts by walking around to greet the entire restaurant and tries to make a connection with every table. The menu can be a tasting if you&rsquo;d like, but I opted for the &agrave; la carte choose your own adventure style. especially since I don&rsquo;t like desserts, I thought this was a much better value around &euro;20 per dish. Every dish was a stand out. I particularly loved the sea urchin and mussel caccio e pepe. The kitchen uses local and seasonal ingredients and has beautiful presentation. The service was always on point, I never felt neglected or othered because I was a tourist. There was a good mix of Italians and English speaking tables. You do have to budget about three hours for the entire meal, as there&rsquo;s plenty of time in between courses to digest. But, overall, if you&rsquo;re looking for a really great meal to understand how food from this region can be upscaled and elevated, you must try eating at Duo. Grazie!

The rabbit rag&ugrave; pasta was incredible. So rich and hearty, with these little tender pieces of rabbit that just melted. I kept thinking about it for days. The octopus was good too, but that pasta stole the show for me.

We tried a few different pucce over a couple days. All so good! The variety is great. It&#39;s a really nice spot to grab something light with friends after the beach.

The food was really good, no question. But for the portion sizes, the prices felt a bit steep. My pasta dish was delicious, just not a huge plate for what it cost.

Service was responsive. They didn&#39;t have the cake I wanted, but offered to make a pasticciotto on short notice. It was well done. Efficient solution.

The live music on Thursday nights is a nice touch. It creates a good atmosphere for a business dinner. Service was efficient, and the location is very convenient.

Food was solid, ingredients tasted fresh. Service got a bit slow when the place filled up, but they were nice about it. Just a casual dinner.

Service was very good, food excellent. Toilet facilities needs improvements, urgently. Gents toilet had the pipe broken and the floor gets flooded each time you flush it.

The sandwiches and piadinas are the real stars here, honestly. I had the porchetta piadina today and it was fantastic. The crust was perfectly crisp. Pizza&#39;s great, but don&#39;t sleep on these.

The pistachio gelato here is so good. Creamy, not too sweet, with real nutty bits in it. Grabbed a scoop after dinner and sat outside watching the square. The perfect little treat.

Been coming here for years, and the mixed grill is always solid. Good quality meat, never disappoints.

The fish was so fresh, cooked just right. We managed without an English menu, the staff helped point things out. A real highlight from our trip.

Fried cod was the standout. Perfectly crisp outside, flaky inside. Roast beef and medallions were spot on too. Just a solid, satisfying meal.

Been coming here for years, and I keep coming back for the vegan menu. It&#39;s always solid. The staff remembered my usual order last time, which was nice.

The fava bean and chicory puree was lovely, really fresh. It set a nice tone for the meal. The tables are a bit close together though, which made it feel a little crowded. Still, a pleasant spot for a quiet dinner.

First time here and the roast beef sandwich was a real standout. Juicy, with this amazing horseradish sauce that had just the right kick.

Family-run place, nice for a drink at sunset. The Prosecco is a good price. Had a pizza, it was tasty and didn&#39;t cost much. Simple, relaxed spot.

Loved the vibe here, especially at night. The live band was really good, and the sea view is a plus. Had a nice cocktail that went well with the seafood platter. A solid spot for a relaxed evening by the water.

Loved the rustic vibe at this spot outside Copertino. The whole place has this cozy, countryside feel&mdash;exactly what I was hoping for. The buffalo mozzarella pasta was a nice touch. Prices felt fair for the setting.
