Except for the fresh raw prawns, all other items on the menu were mediocre at best. Seared tuna - overcooked, pasta - very average.

We loved the food and wine! There were many good options but we had the snapper and the sirloin, after we had an appertivo (the club sandwich). Such great flavors. Service was a little slow but was great up until the end. We were trying to pay the bill and asked if we could tip since we enjoyed everything, and our waiter responded &ldquo;we don&rsquo;t do that in Italy, you just pay the bill&rdquo; which we found fairly rude. I&rsquo;ve been to Rome, Milan, and Florence where I&rsquo;ve always been able to tip. So just a note to not assume that guests haven&rsquo;t been elsewhere in Italy/around the world or be standoffish when they&rsquo;re trying to compliment the restaurant.. definitely hurt the vibe a bit.

This is a very special and unique restaurant. You select your fish when you arrive and the style in which you would like it cooked &hellip; grilled, fried, Mediterranean. It is weighed and sent to the kitchen to be prepared. You also select the accompaniments. The fish is fresh, the preparation perfect. We went back a second night after our first visit. Don&rsquo;t miss this when you are in Lecce!

It felt like we found somewhere the locals would be eating. Authentic and excellent food with very professional and friendly staff. Highly recommended. We ate there two nights during our 4 night stay

Good food and a nice atmosphere. Worth a visit..

Had a delightful and delicious meal in a small room adjacent to the terrace. The decor was pleasant and the food was excellent. With a waitress who wanted to make sure we had a great time, we were sure to remember and return to this restaurant. Delightful.

We received  a very  warm welcome, we choose the tasting menu which was abolutely delicious, the wine recommended by the chef was equally very nice and the service impeccable - we had a. Great  experience.We will certainly recommend this restaurant to any of  our friends visiting lecce.

My wife and I went to dinner (mid-March 2024) at 1930. We were the only people present till 2030. The food was good and the service of the food efficient. The help with understanding the menu was not helpful...I asked for a copy of the menu in English but was told there wasn&#39;t one...very surprising. Every other establishment we ate in had a menu in English. There was a feeling that we were being tolerated rather than being made welcome. The music was truly dreadful, and I should have asked for a change. All in all, undoubtedly good food (especially the local ham and veal cheek ...lamb cutlets a bit tough) and our wine by the glass respectable but a poor sense of welcome (e.g. an offer to interpret the menu).

Lovely environment, friendly welcome and excellent food, passionately representing the region. We will return as soon as we can, with friends!

Nice place and fair service. Good food quality but price is way too high for what ypu get. Ok verall good experience but quality/price ratio is low.

I felt staff were a little officious and not customer focused. Service was slow but just about on the acceptable level. I probably would not return.
