Service

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

Excellent 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 &quot;pugliesi&quot; 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!

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

We 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&hellip; from the outside you wouldn&rsquo;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&hellip;

A charming place with a welcoming vibe and delicious dishes. The mixed antipasto was mega delicious, and I can&#39;t wait to return to try their pizza.

Quaint little wine bar on a side street near Piazza Sant&#39;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&#39;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.

The restaurant sits within a beautifully preserved 17th-century residence in Matino&rsquo;s historic center, offering an enchanting, historically evocative ambiance.For our appetizer, we shared the Entr&eacute;e 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

This 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.

Peaceful 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&rsquo;t mind.

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

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!

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.

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

This 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

We&rsquo;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&rsquo;ve had so far ever in the world. Worth a star for food, ambience and service. We came back twice in 5 days! There&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t wait to be back.

Great service, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food! Highly recommend this sushi restaurant for when you need a break from pasta and pizza.

Beautiful place , food is very good and not too expensive.

We 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 &ldquo;we don&rsquo;t do that in Italy, you just pay the bill&rdquo; which we found fairly rude. I&rsquo;ve been to Rome, Milan, and Florence where I&rsquo;ve always been able to tip. So just a note to not assume that guests haven&rsquo;t been elsewhere in Italy/around the world or be standoffish when they&rsquo;re trying to compliment the restaurant.. definitely hurt the vibe a bit.

The 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&mdash;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&rsquo;t forget. Cooked to perfection, tender and deeply flavourful.Overall, the combination of warm, helpful service and outstanding food made Barbecue a pleasant discovery.

Had a delightful and delicious meal in a small room adjacent to the terrace. The decor was pleasant and the food was excellent. With a waitress who wanted to make sure we had a great time, we were sure to remember and return to this restaurant. Delightful.

Very chic hotel, slightly on the outskirts of Lecce, but that made for easy parking. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable waiter, wonderful food (light but tasty) and sophisticated surrounds.  Definitely somewhere to come back to.

Highly recommend trying the Martina Franca pizza with hemp dough; it was amazing! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring a delightful dining experience.

We have eaten here several times and we always get excellent food and service. It is run by a lovely local family and I would highly recommend itElizabeth Jessop

Really poor, some of the food was obviously reheated Nd the pasta my partner ordered was overcooked. Would recommend just staying in Lecce as much better

36th wedding anniversary. This is our go-to special occasion restaurant. Although not billed as a sushi restaurant, their sushi menu is extensive and among the best in the city.

This 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!!!

Really good food with a special flair and  twist from the chef. Service was excellent, very professional and warm. The location is perfect for a small borgo in Lecce. Highly recommend it. We will be returning!!!
