Gourmet restaurant that combines tradition and innovation in a refined and welcoming location. Wine list varied and cured. Meat, fish, vegetables, homemade desserts.

I was embarrassed I recommended this restaurant to my friends. No sparkling wine while selecting the menu set the tone for a disaster ahead. Expecting fine dining we booked the traditional tasting menu. Ritz biscuits as one of the appetizers! Over cooked pasta followed potato balls and potato cake. The only saving grace was the wine. Poorly trained young waiter. The chef in fairness offered dinner on the house but what an evening a real shame!

Street food/ vera cucina tipica/ primi e secondi della tradizione... panini tipici con ingredienti esclusivamente locali
Reviewed By b_robin5
I live in Lecce and have done for over 12 years now, so I know just about every restaurant in town. We are lucky in Lecce, as we have a lot of very good restaurants. However, there are only a few exceptional restaurants. There are even fewer reasonably priced and simple restaurants that are exceptional. Mezzo Quinto is about the only one. Small, simple, and unassuming, Mezzo Qunito boasts not just some of the best food in town, but some of the best food in Salento. Don't let the simple and unassuming facade fool you. They grow their own veg,, local varieties cooked in the Salentine style. All the other ingredients are also of the finest quality. You will have a hard time getting better Leccese food elsewhere. A must if you are in Lecce.

Lovely little family restaurant in a quiet residential area, well frequented by locals. Every care and attention from the owner and staff, everything we had was great - pasta with spicy soft cheese and tomato delicious. Good wine at a very tempting price - easy to order more than you really need!Thanks Mantony for your impeccable and useful review Goodbye from the Lerian staff

I ate lunch here at least 7 times during my stay in Lecce. The food is amazing-- delicious and diverse offerings, for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I particularly loved all dishes with eggplant--eggplant with pasta, eggplant parmigiana are two noteworthy offerings. The eggplant entree and a contorni (vegetable, for example, chicoria), cost 5 â¬. And the people who work here are marvelous!

We came across La Pocina through The Fork and weren't really sure what to expect. It's hidden at the end of a small, pot-holed street on the outskirts of Lizzanello, and we were a little wary when we arrived. However, we were pleasantly surprised on all counts by our delightful host/chef and by the surprisingly different food! The best way to describe the dishes is classic Italian with an exotic twist. They have great meat-lover options but also vegan friendly fare--I highly recommend the chickpea patties--absolutely divine! They make their own garam masala mix that gets thrown into the patties, and it's a delicious touch. I also recommend the house appetizer for a wonderful sampling of the breadth of delicious foods they offer. And the porcini gnocchi is hands-down the most delicious porcini dish I've tried--fresh porcini mushrooms in the fall!!

Rather intimidating amount of staff meet you, but they were very friendly and helpful. Meat and fish is charged per kilo, slightly confusing menu, which needed explaining. Exceptionally good steak on a hot slate, papaer thin veal wrapped around pine nuts, raisins and cheese delicious. We returned here twice, great desert, and good seating outside. Very nice wine and beer selection.

We visited here two times during our stay in Lecce. We were lucky enough to find a table outside where we enjoyed a beer while my husband went in to order the pizza. All credit to the guys inside who told us that a full pizza would be too big for two persons....they were totally right! They produced our perfect pizza and the proportions were exactly right. Great food, cold beer and an honest approach to customer service. Thank you!Ciao Cat, our work involves passion and this passion guides us in trying to make those who come to see us feel good, being honest is an essential prerogative if we want to try to be always better, we are happy you found yourself well, we hope that in your next trip in Lecce you want to come back again to see us, because as they say, there is no two without three. GOOD LIFE.

Just outside the old town, this is a neighbourhood restaurant mainly frequented by Italians but probably used for something a little bit more special. The owner really takes pride in his restaurant. Reservations necessary. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. A very enjoyable experience

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.

Reviewed By Romana79
à una novità per Lecce, il risotto è tipico del nord :-) è una scelta coraggiosa, solo per questo va premiata. La zona non è delle migliori. I tavoli allâaperto hanno molto da migliorare: prima di tutto câè troppo buio, e le sedie in plastica sono brutte e scomode. Inoltre sei proprio sulla strada e ti prendi tutta la rumorosità delle macchine. Delle belle poltroncine comode e sicuramente più luce per vedere i piatti ti fanno certamente dimenticare della strada. à sempre una questione di percezione. Lâinterno è minimal, intimo, molto luminoso con una bella cucina a vista sinonimo di pulizia e trasparenza. Mi piace. Buono il crudo di mare. Molto Buono il risotto al lime e tartare di gamberi. Lâavrei gradito un tantino più al dente, ma era ben mantecato e la porzione abbondante. Servito ben caldo e questo è importante. Sarebbe carino associare al nome âLi Risiâ che in dialetto salentino significa âridereâ,,un personale più sorridente e aperto. Per esempio ci siamo seduti e solo dopo più di cinque minuti di attesa qualcuno ci ha salutati...impossibile non vederci data la dimensione del locale. Chi serve ai tavoli deve essere sicuro di se, accogliente e sorridente. Forse i ragazzi sono alle prime armi. Lo chef molto cordiale, è venuto a conoscervi ed è stata una piacevole chiacchierata. Sicuramente un locale dalle grandi potenzialità . Ci tornerò perché il menu dei risotti cambia ogni 15 giorni, sono curiosa di assaporare le novità . Buono il rapporto qualità -prezzo.
