9/10Fine dining take on traditional Puglian food. Food quality very good with only one (very) small blip - the crème brûlée with apple that we had for desert tasted great but was slightly scrambled. Other than that - perfect!

10/10Amazing and very inventive fusion Italian food that works. The duck ragù over their homemade pasta is to die for…going back to have that again! Service is excellent. The dinning room is gorgeous and the suggested wine for our meal was perfect. Husband and wife owned, you can feel the love and passion in the food. Come here because they are surely in line for the Michelin culinary stamp of approval!

7.5/10Lovely restaurant. It appeared that the chef had dyed the olive oil to create some artistry. I found that a bit offputting to be honest. We were asked 3 times if we enjoyed to which we answered every time. Service was very slow when we first sat down. The food was very nice.

Thank you Mary for appreciating our restaurant and our cuisine. We would like to point out that our oil is served separately and is particularly green, as it is a high quality extra virgin Leccino oil. Our sauces, however, are all vegetarian and their color depends on the vegetable used. We are sorry for the slow service, due to a particularly busy evening. This is also why we recommend punctuality in arrivals and orders; in your case, you preferred to drink some cocktails and then order about 45 minutes after arrival, and this resulted in the order overlapping with those of the tables that arrived later, creating a bit of a delay, for which we nevertheless apologize.

9.5/10This was a tranquil oasis on a back street in Lecce. We were one of only two couples only in restaurant. attentive service. Food highlights: the amuse bouche of cold beet and potato puree with toasted corn was excellent. The carpaccio of salmon one of the best my husband has had. My handmade tagliolini (with 40 egg yolks!) and duck ragout succulent.

5.5/10The branzino type fish did not taste fish. We had a hard time selecting an entree that sounded appealing.
Vico del Cuciniere • Owner
We are sorry that you did not like the croaker fillet. Our cuisine reworks the raw materials by combining them with other flavors (in this case sweet and sour red onion and citrus fruits) and for this it's generally highly appreciated. We offer five different starters and a selection of cheeses, which are published on all our online pages and which we will be happy to recommend if you wish to return.

10/10This was one of our favourite meals in Puglia. The amuse bouche was delicious. Hubby was offered gluten free bread and they were happy to adapt the dish he wanted so it was suitable for him. Service was amazing.
