La Strada Del Vino Wine Bistrot

Reservation Available

TheForkUserQuaint little wine bar on a side street near Piazza Sant'Oronzo. Proprietor and staff very friendly and attentive. Warm, comfortable and close seating area that encourages conversation with fellow guests. enjoyed a small (singolo) taglire misto which was plenty for two to enjoy for antipasto. we were going to go elsewhere for dinner but after the meat and cheese decided that we weren't all that hungry still and instead ordered appetizers of fave e cicoria and melanzane parmigiana. In particular the parmigiana was excellent with a beautiful homemade tomato sauce. Overall a very nice experience.

A Locanda Tu Marchese

Reservation Available

TheForkUserThe restaurant sits within a beautifully preserved 17th-century residence in Matino’s historic center, offering an enchanting, historically evocative ambiance.For our appetizer, we shared the Entrée della Locanda, a generous selection featuring crispy fried bites, local cured meats, and artisanal cheeses. For the main course, we opted for Salento-style skewers and a tender slice of horse steak, both expertly grilled to perfection. As a side, we enjoyed a portion of crisp fries.Our meal was accompanied by natural water and a bottle of the house red wine, which complemented the flavors. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the authentic local cuisine, made for an unforgettable dining experience

La Sapore

Reservation Available

TheForkUserGreat decor, very intimate setting in a backyard style garden. Classic traditional food cooked very well. Everything you would expect from a Trattoria, with style.

L'Obelisco Ristorante Pizzeria

Reservation Available

TheForkUserWe like it here, the food is always authentic Italian, Very nice place to eat, never had a bad meal, and the owner always remembers his customers… from the outside you wouldn’t think it is as big as it is! We will go back a few times before returning back to UK , but we will always be back here…

Osteria Della Divina Provvidenza

Reservation Available

TheForkUserFood was excellent! Service was as well, considering the large tour groups to be accommodated. Made for a somewhat noisy meal.

SalentOsteria

TheForkUserExcellent restaurant for a tastefull dinner with family or couple. The menu is not so full of dishes but they are very refined, you can surely taste all the best "pugliesi" dishes. The waiter was very polite and suggested us tipical and local plate The prices are in line with the higt quality of this restaurant . Strongly suggested plate: spaghetti with nero di seppia, burrata and shrimps, wonderful!

Agriturismo San Martino

Reservation Available

_TI***nsA charming place with a welcoming vibe and delicious dishes. The mixed antipasto was mega delicious, and I can't wait to return to try their pizza.

Terrazza Laurus - Cocktail Bar Gallipoli

TheForkUserStunning view and atmosphere. Management had issues with overbooked restaurant but managed the situation highly professional with exemplary service orientation!

Li Risi

Ristorante Art Nouveau

Reservation Available

TheForkUserThis is the best seafood restaurant I have visited in years - tasting menu was superb and the wine pairs were very well consider - finally the desert finished me off - awesome

TerreAmare Agriturismo

TheForkUserPeaceful location. Service is good very attentive. Food tastes amazing! There were some ants, but that is what you get for a dinner in the fields. We didn’t mind.

Agriturismo Le Tagliate

TheForkUserThe service was very good. Good food if you want a family style evening without frills and thrills.

Pescheria Con Cottura

Reservation Available

TheForkUserThis was a new experience for us. The staff was very ready to explain how one could either pick their fish and method of cooking or one could choose something for their ready menu. The food was delicious. An amuse bouche of fried anchovies was light and tasty. We chose some fried sardines as an appetizer. Our dishes were orecchiette with octopus and pasta with mussels, ( already out of their shells) Very good. The restaurant is very pleasant. I would categorize it as casual, white tablecloth. Would definitely return.

Pizzeria Carpe Diem

Reservation Available

TheForkUserYou 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'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'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

Duo Ristorante

Reservation Available

TheForkUserOne of my best meals in Julia. Don’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’d like, but I opted for the à la carte choose your own adventure style. especially since I don’t like desserts, I thought this was a much better value around €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’s plenty of time in between courses to digest. But, overall, if you’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!

Lievito Madre

TheForkUserService 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.

Lazzaro and Caterina

TheForkUserWe’re OG Italians living in the US, foodies and lived and travelled the world, we know food. This is one of the best experiences we’ve had so far ever in the world. Worth a star for food, ambience and service. We came back twice in 5 days! There’s no shortage of good food in and around Gallipoli but the location, ambience and service at Lazzaro makes it exceptional. We starter with a wonderful aperitivo on the rooftop (strikingly beautiful and well decorated), followed by dinner in the stylish dining room on the ground floor. Chef knows what he’s doing. Everything on the menu is fresh and worth a try. From crudo di mare (elevated by presentation and subtle dressings), to amazing yet light pasta dishes, to a sublime stuffed calamaro. The gem is their pizza. We tried Ambra the first time and one with nduja and spicy sausage the second time. The well crafted dish description cannot make justice to what you are going to eat once presented with the dishes. Pizza is light, not loaded, yet so flavoursome. Michelin-level everything! Well done to the staff and chef. We can’t wait to be back.

63 Osteria Contemporanea

Reservation Available

TheForkUserThis restaurant was just outside the city walls so felt more like a lovely neighbourhood restaurant than a touristy one. The staff were lovely, strong English and explained various dishes on a menu that was varied and more inventive than alot of the restaurants we have been to in the old city. The food was superb, reasonably priced and special mention to the lemon and raspberry tirimisu....delicious!

Rintocco

Reservation Available

TheForkUserDeliciously interesting food offered in a perfectly situated spot in Nardò’s main square in its historic center. The staff and kitchen were very accommodating of my dietary needs, gluten free, dairy free, and allergic to crustaceans. Yikes! At first glance, their menu did not seem as if it would work for me, however our server quickly sorted out some slight alterations to a few dishes that worked out perfectly for me. Very happy and would happily return again should we ever find ourselves in Nardó again. Grazie Rintocco!

Alimenta Bistrot

TheForkUserThis restaurant is exceptional. The menu is varied and creative. The variety of flavors were delicious and the presentation different. The wine list very complete. The service was efficient and appreciated that they use personnel with special needs!!! They were all friendly and diligent. We consider alimenta to be the best restaurant in Lecce, Italy. You should not miss it!!!

Farmacia dei Sani

Reservation Available

_TI***p1This place is a hidden gem! The combination of delicious food and a beautiful outdoor dining area creates a lovely ambiance for any occasion.

Le Quattro Spezierie

TheForkUserWe loved the food and wine! There were many good options but we had the snapper and the sirloin, after we had an appertivo (the club sandwich). Such great flavors. Service was a little slow but was great up until the end. We were trying to pay the bill and asked if we could tip since we enjoyed everything, and our waiter responded “we don’t do that in Italy, you just pay the bill” which we found fairly rude. I’ve been to Rome, Milan, and Florence where I’ve always been able to tip. So just a note to not assume that guests haven’t been elsewhere in Italy/around the world or be standoffish when they’re trying to compliment the restaurant.. definitely hurt the vibe a bit.

Blu Notte

TheForkUserWe had a wonderful meal tonight. Started with Capres salad. Then we shared the swordfish and linguine with seafood. All delicious. Seafood is extremely fresh and well prepared. Great meal and great wine.

Barbecue

Reservation Available

TheForkUserThe staff at Barbecue in Lecce were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived. Friendly and attentive, they made us feel welcome straight away, happy to guide us through the menu and answer any questions. Their genuine enthusiasm really elevated the experience.We started with chilli and tortilla chips—absolutely excellent. The chilli was rich, full of flavour, with just the right amount of heat, and the tortilla chips were perfectly crisp. It was a great introduction to what turned out to be a memorable meal.The real highlight was when I tried Canadian bison for the first time, and it was an experience I won’t forget. Cooked to perfection, tender and deeply flavourful.Overall, the combination of warm, helpful service and outstanding food made Barbecue a pleasant discovery.
