We just spent 3 weeks in Italy and dined at a number of mid and high range restaurants each night and most days for lunch. My husband and I rate this restaurant as our number one choice for a number of reasons:- the host/waiter's (Giovanni) service was impeccable, the bread was all freshly made and delicious. We opted for the a la carte menu and each dish was fantastic. The price was very, very reasonable. We also had a great Puglian red Primitivo wine, very good and very reasonably price. Only 6 tables. You can see the creativity and care that goes into the food. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We love Crianza. We spent Christmas week in Lecce and this restaurant was one of a few that stayed open for guests. It is an informal place, run by a lovely young couple who take pride in their food. I can't say enough good things about. Good salads and sandwiches, all made with good ingredients. We liked it well enough to return another evening. It is not fine dining or haute cuisine, but it is excellent food. I definitely recommend it.

4. Osteria 203

Well, Iâm afraid I canât deliver my usual detailed review, concerning Osteria 203, as I didnât take any notes. The reason for this was a low-key incident, involving some fellow diners, whose conduct was at the very least - below par.Forensically inspect the final tally if you must. Have the usual tourist gripe regarding the standard Italian practice of âcopertoâ if you must but please - donât tell me that the reason for this behaviour was the desire to leave more - not less - than the bill requests. For that dear friends would require the table to ask questions such as, âI donât think they have charged us forâ¦â and not âWell I donât recognise thatâ and âDid we really have that many glasses of wineâ? And before anyone accuses me of eavesdropping, let me assure you that my wife and I would have liked nothing more than to NOT hear that loud braying - but it was impossible. Finally, if someone does intervene and asks the questions your lack of language skills prevents you from doing, a response to the friendly statement of âHave a nice tripâ when you leave, would have been polite.So what about the food?Well it was superb. My wife recalls a dish of Burrata, with warm tomates, which she said was delicious and I seem to recall octopus somewhere along the line? I did have a daily special of pork fillet, served in a deliciously creamy sauce. Portion sizes were gargantuan, to the extent that we couldn't even consider a dessert. Iâve even forgotten the name of the Primitivo I ordered but it was given the seal of approval from the owner and at â¬30 for an award winning bottle - a bargain. Service from the young, attentive waitress was superb. She did speak English but unfortunately was in the kitchen at the time of the âdiscussionsâ. As the party of five misanthropes left, the table at which they sat was moved to make-up a table for eight and pretty soon, the place was packed with locals. Soon after, yet another party arrived and were seated in the back room. This is all you need to know about Osteria 203 - a very popular locals favourite. Go there - you will definitely not be disappointed and most definitely NOT âripped-offâ. Thoroughly recommended.

On a recent visit to Lecce my wife and I had the pleasure of eating here. Even though it was close to the afternoon closing time, the staff readily accommodated us for a late lunch. The food was very good - the Lampini and pomodorini scatarrati were excellent.
