Service

The best experience I have had in Lecce.Super friendly staff with wonderful and careful service, tailored to a romantic birthday upon request and with a fantastic gastronomic journey surrounded by charming pietre leccese.Highly recommended

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.

A wonderful, memorable dinner! Terrific food in a traditional, warm atmosphere with exceptional service.  Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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!

This restaurant offers a cozy vibe with excellent service. The food presentation is top-notch, and the quality is outstanding.

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

A bit more air con would help. Apart from that really good stuff guys highly recommended!

First time here. Recommended by a local. Really busy and it shows . Good food and service. Nice wine selection, would love more selections by the glass on these busy days. A couple of missing menu items but overall a good time. Local , hidden gem

Friendly and helpful staff helped navigate the menu.  Food and wine were very good. Good ambience with groups of diners of all ages

Lovely setting, great food  - menu is limited but it meant the boys tried different things which was great - good value as well and the staff were lovely. NB - Remember mosquito spray you are outside and it is warm

It looks like a grocery store with tables. Ambience is cold and informal. Service is polite but very slow. Food is decent. Probably better for take away.
