Then shared a mixed grilled meat platter (including some very good French fries) plus grilled seasonal veggies. Service was prompt and friendly and available in English . Prices were very reasonable. Including two bottles water (it was very hot and humid) plus a half liter of white wine came to € 46 for two of us. I'm sure we could have eaten for less but the location and service were worth it. Definitely recommend this after a busy day of strolling the streets and navigating the tourists.

It is on the outer edge of the old part of Lecce. We were sent by recommendation from a local. We hoped it would be a great find...you know off the beaten track with great food, but sadly it is edible and not special. The view was of modern and insignificant buildings. The older part of the city is so beautiful and vibrant, I'd rather be in the older part if eating average food. One waitress was sweet, but forgetful. The other staff did their best to ignore us. I watched people sit and leave because they couldn't get served despite having only a couple of tables filled. Plenty of other options in Lecce. Did not work for us.

You feel that warm hospitality that is so common in this region and it's festive, even when it's not St. Paddy's. They play all kinds of music, especially 60s-80s. So fun! I ordered two frieselle, a tomato/olive and a vegetarian (loaded with squash, radicchio, and tomatoes). I appreciate how generous they are with all the veggies and olives. A sprinkle of oil and salt make this so delicious and satisfying. Paired with a glass of wine... how good can you get?

I know my Belgian beers, and what they're serving is not what they're claiming it to be. The place was almost empty on a Saturday night with a World Cup match on (which tells you everything you need to know) and it still took the waitress 20+ minutes in between visits to the table. Finally had to go to the bar for service. Literally anywhere in Catania would be better for food, beer, and especially service.

Happened upon this place while wandering in Old Town. A local tour guide with a group of 10 was…read moretalking with what ended up being the owner about possibly having the group enjoying lunch there. The owner Gianni was very animated and after a few minutes it was decided that the group would reconvene in a half hour to eat there. While Gianni was talking to the group I noticed a Harley parked by the restaurant and motioned to the shopkeeper beside him to see if it was his bike. He shook his head and pointed to Gianni. Now I'm a car guy, but I appreciate nice motorcycles as much as anyone. I caught Gianni's glance and motioned to the bike. He came right over and we talked, well gestured, and conversed as best we could, given the language barrier. He motioned the lovely K and I into the restaurant and showed us another older Harley that was in the back corner. Turns out he has quite a collection of Harleys as well as bicycles. I only point this out to give you an idea of the man that owns the place. Proud of his treasures and more than happy to talk, as best as we could, about them. It's more than a business, it's his livelihood and his passion. All that said the food was excellent, the wine even better, and the service great as well! Not to mention the show that went on when the 10 tourists showed up to have lunch with the local guide joining them. I could go on about the place, the service and the food, but suffice it to say if you are in the old town of Pecce, you just have to go there. Tell him the guy and gal with the yellow '72 911 told you to go there! You'll be glad you did, and if Gianni's there say hi for us!

The neighborhood in Lecce is extremely charming, and it is pleasant to sit outdoors here on a hot summer day.

Would recommend for a delicious meal.
