The food was creative, artistcally presented and excellent. The room was well designed and very comfortable. We have been in Italy for 3 weeks and have had great meals but this was clearly the best one.

The overall friendliest of the people working there, the quality and presentation of the food on our first visit made us immediately make another booking which was just as good again. If in Lecce it's worth a visit.

Lovely service. Good missed the mark, my scallops were over cooked and tough. The pork dish was inventive but too many ingredients seemingly at random. Tiramisu was good. Background music was soft rich with long loud guitar solos; not particularly pleasant or appropriate. Price was quite reasonable; just over 100 euros for two: 2 courses each plus one dessert and a bottle of wine.

Really excellent food. We ordered an antipasto, and three other dishes plus dessert. All were excellent and we would order all the plates again. They recommended a wine that was not on the wine list and it was wonderful. Exactly what we wanted. And, the bottle of wine was so reasonably priced. We thought the prices were reasonable for all the food, all of which were so thoughtfully and wonderfully prepared. Great flavors. The staff were all kind and attentive, and described each dish when brought to the table. Fresh home made pasta, fresh homemade breads. Desserts we had were fabulous and not too sweet! Menus available in Italian and English. Quiet area, just a short distance from the busy area of the historical center in Lecce. We will be back and we will recommend this lovely place to others.

Lovely restaurant. Fabulous food. Best in Lecce in my opinion for a very reasonable price. So good we came back twice. Particularly loved the scallops and cod and chicken dish but the cheese tart also delicious. 😋
