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.

The dinner was fantastic!!
6.0
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.

Food was so bland, not what it should be considering the price. Very disappointed.

It was better than I expected. Honestly our best dining experience in Lecce and we dine in Manhattan often. If you’re in Lecce it’s a must.

Everything was great
10
Everything. The food is simply amazing, the staff are amongst the very best I have ever encountered and the ambience, set in a beautiful converted courtyard of an ancient Palazzo, recently converted to a luxury boutique hotel, is the cherry on the cake of a culinary experience which is hard to come by. Well done to the team.

This was HANDS DOWN the best meal we had during our week-long stay in Puglia. The website describes La Bocca as a gastronomic experience...and it truly was just that - a thoughtfully orchestrated and perfectly executed meal from start to finish. From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable and each course a delight to the senses. I had celebrated by 30th birthday the night before at a restaurant I was disappointed by. This made up for it 1000%. They made my birthday feel so special, it is hard to put into words how much we loved and appreciated this meal and entire experience. 10/10 would recommend! You need to come here if you come to Lecce.

The location, set up, menu, etc is top rate. BUT I was having dinner in one table and another couple arrived and sat by my table. The maitre, who did not even talk to me when I arrived, made a speech to the couple, explaining things about the restaurant, and did not know what more to say to please them. I felt totally discriminated and it was disgusting.

We went to La Bocca without expectations and we were blown away! The dining was superb and we ate some fantastic combinations. What was even better than the Food, was the excellent service and allround friendliness of the staff. When we revisit Puglia next year, we will come back! Thank you so much again!

Excellent service, delicious food. Amazing ambient! Tiramisu made my day!

First visit - we did not know what to expect - but a couple of reviews made it look attractive. It was better than attractive. Magnificent setting in old vaulted palazzo. Well-spaced tables, skilled lighting, attractive ambience - just the right setting for what was a truly excellent meal. Food to suit most palates, superbly prepared. Local produce. And great care taken to ensure any individual needs were met (- one of us has some allergies!). An excellent wine list, and particularly good on local wines. Helpful advice from sommelier. Service could not be improved. Indeed, so impressed were we that we returned 2 nights later. We look forward to a future visit to Lecce and to La Bocca.

It is a very good restaurant, excellent food. Very good service.

Wow cannot believe how fabulous this dinner was and very reasonable in price. We had the homemade ravioli starter and the pork belly main. Each were a Michelin star quality of food and presentation. Service was immaculate. The dinning room is stunning and gorgeous!

+1One of the finest meals we have had at home and abroad. The presentation was exquisite, the selections highly original, and the combinations of tastes and creativity captivating. This was as good as anything we have had in the last 30 years, and the cost was an absolute bargain. Our hats are off to Suzanne and Marcel who served us perfectly. We are going back tomorrow to sample the excellent wine list and more courses.

Fantastic food and great service in a delightful space beneath an old palace. We loved everything about La Bocca - just the right balance between high end professionalism and relaxed friendly service. The food was outstanding - many traditional dishes given a modern twist but retaining the warmth and reassurance of a trusted old friend. The tuna starter was amazing, ravioli smooth, unctuous and delightful. The tiramisu was the best I have ever had with a playful take on tradition and change. Great value for money this restaurant deserves to do well. Go there if you can. Congratulations to the chef and all the staff.

We had a wonderful dining experience here. Excellently prepared food; friendly and efficient staff; and an enjoyable dining atmosphere. Will recommend La Bocca Bistrot to our friends when they visit Lecce.

The food was really nice. We liked how you needed to read the dessert menu. The way they presented the tiramisu and "fruit" dessert were really cool. Also very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend
