7.5/10Corto Maltese 22 is a small restaurant with some tables on the outside pavement. Staff is nice, kind and hardworking. Unfortunately food was not what we expected. We had three starters which one of them was really salted, mussels came extremely soft (were they cooked multiple times?) and courgette flowers were too battered. The main was quite dry and did not taste of clams. As overall, food was not really tasty. A shame considering the reviews read.

This week's temperatures have caused quite a few problems for our dishes and especially the Fresh Mussels suffer it in the first place, alas they must necessarily be opened to be able to serve them a Soutè and we do it at the moment as they require a preparation of 1.5 minutes so it would be ridiculous to cook them before, the zucchini flowers as shown on the menu are in batter and therefore like any fried in batter that respects itself they are nice loads, I don't know about those main courses I'm talking about to be able to give them an answer but I'm sorry that you didn't like our simple trattoria cuisine.

10/10Abiamo mangiato buonissimo! Il cibo espectacolare! La pasta fresca, il polpo e amaro fatto in casa. Grazie mille. If you are in Lecce you have to visit this restaurant, the owner is amazing he offerd us home made appetizers and amaro to finish our delicious lunch. Real italian food with regional dishes.
