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. 😋

The food is not only delicious but a work of art … presentation beyond expectation. The outdoor seating is on a quiet street away from the Lecce crowds. Pleasant music is playing at a reasonable volume. It was a lovely experience.

I arrived at an evening where I had the restaurant for myself (Monday). The food was enjoyable and highly creative done at a presentation worth its money. You should visit this place before the Michelin inspectors will do it resulting in a climb in the ranks and the prices. Highly recommended but a bit difficult to find (I used the navigation app of my smartphone)

The food was exquisite and the service attentive but not overly so. I am gluten free. This was no problem with gluten free bread and crackers served. The amuse bouche was adjusted to be gluten free and I was served tiny warned gluten free biscuits with my coffee. Faultless. Thank you for making me feel like a normal diner.
