Service

Deliciously interesting food offered in a perfectly situated spot in Nard&ograve;&rsquo;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 Nard&oacute; again. Grazie Rintocco!

Highly recommend to try the gamberi tartar and the tiramisu.Amazing, we came two years ago the quality of the food did not change !

We 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.

I went for lunch and it was so good I returned for dinner.  I had the costata di cavallo for lunch and pasta for dinner.  Both excellent.  You must try Alberto&#39;s rose wine...delicious.  And, just let Alberto pick the dolce for you.  I will return!

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

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.

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

I arrived at an evening where I had the restaurant for myself (Monday). The food was enjoyable and highly creative done at a presentation worth its money. You should visit this place before the Michelin inspectors will do it resulting in a climb in the ranks and the prices. Highly recommended but a bit difficult to find (I used the navigation  app of my smartphone)

This 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!

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

Excellent restaurant, the fish is fresh and the price is very fair for what they offer. I had an amazing lobster there.

The food here is exceptional, especially the grilled meats and pizzas. The service is attentive, and the outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a meal in the summer.

The food here is simply delicious, with a focus on traditional dishes that highlight local flavors. The welcoming environment and attentive service make it a must-visit.

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.

charming locaton. decent food. Quick and freindly service. very reasonable prices. every visit the experience is a good one so that&#39;s why we return !

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!!!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

The food was very good, sushi amazing but also everything else. The place is really nice and clean.People are kind.We took a mix between sushi and other dishes and we enjoyed very much, the service was quick. Small note sushi arrived later than the rest.Highly recommended!GrazieEnrico

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.
