The only weak point is the so small sign on the street with deformed letters! Difficult to find! All the rest was Bravissimo.

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

Amazing service, incredible food and wonderful olive oil (believe it or not, that’s not easy to find in restaurants in Italy).

Honestly, 5 stars aren't adequate to sum up this incredible place. Absolutely everything was perfect: the cool, cavernous space, Marcel and his impeccable, attentive staff, and the food -- OMG. It is edible art. The dishes are so beautifully presented that I hestitated to put my fork in them so as to disturb the look. Never, ever have I been one to take photos of my meals, and at La Bocca, I took pictures. La Bocca is fine dining, but feels both elegant and casual at the same time. My husband and I can't wait to go back. Perfetto, truly!

The Gnocci was the best I ever had. The service is top notch. The main dish was good but a bit expensive for what it was.

This fairly new restaurant has very high aspirations - but some details need attention. On arrival there was an uncomfortable wait to be shown to our table, and a main course was served at the same time as a starter. Service was very formal; a touch more warmth was needed. The food was interesting, but a fish course was under seasoned. Hopefully they will get things fine tuned as the team gains experience of working together.

The attention to detail and charismatic hosts was something that I have not experienced in a very long time. I have been to Michelin star restaurants my entire life and this had surpassed my expectations on every front. Grazie Mille.
