Lecce

Puglian restaurants in Lecce

  1. A

    Alle due Corti

    For a taste of sunny Salentina, check out this no-frills, fiercely traditional restaurant. The seasonal menu is classic Pugliese, written in a dialect that even some Italians struggle with. Go for the real deal with a dish of tajeddha (layered potatoes, rice and mussels) or ciceri e tria (crisply fried pasta with chickpeas).

    Borgo Antico

    Probably the most pricey place in Lecce, Borgo Antico is a tiny restaurant, again specialising in fish. Dine in refined rusticity on Gallipoli-inspired dishes such as maccheroncino with prawns and clams or potato gnocchi with shrimps.

    Blu Notte

    Highly recommended by locals, this place is famed for its spectacular antipasti and wonderful seafood. It’s a relaxed, pretty place, just by Porta San Biaggio at the edge of the bar district, with outside tables.

    Guido & Figli

    A big cavernous restaurant with well priced food and few pretensions. The self-service buffet with its large choice of antipasti is what everyone comes for although you can order off the menu or have pizza.

  5. Il Rifugio della Buona Stella

    A self-consciously rustic restaurant, decked out in gingham. It's friendly and popular and the simple local cooking is tasty, with dishes such as mushroom lasagne and lemon and pine nut pastries.
