Great food and wine. The restaurant was quite busy at lunch on a Tuesday so it has its reputation. We enjoyed the cold cut meat and a great Nero Di Trioa with our Primi. We recommend this place!

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.

Absolutely amazing food, you won&#39;t be disappointed! The octopus is the best we have ever had!  The let down was the toilet, no soap or paper and we had the resavation for just after they opened at 7:30 pm.

What a fantastic place!! Great food and service in relaxed and well put together surroundingsThe place really comes alive after 11pm, really buzzy and fun and all the staff were so friendly, thanks you

Grande qualit&agrave; dei prodotti accompagnati da un&#39;ottima birra artigianale, con la cortesia e gentilezza del personale.

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&rsquo;ll definitely come back!! Amazing dishes and atmosphere. Please give me the Secret on the octopus!! Looking forward to eating here again ❤️❤️

Always a reference downtown. Very good quality and good mix between tradition and innovation. Price in line with the location, even if it&rsquo;s not the best spot in Lecce. Recommended

The menu had a good mix of choices - the wine list had a good selection of local wines with all available by the glass.  I started with the porchetta - frigitelli, generous portion, good flavor and served hot, followed by the orchietti and cima di rapa with anchovies - just the right amount and also served hot. Overall the food was very good, the service efficient- ambiance a bit lacking.  I would definitely return - ideally to sit on the terrace.

Loved the food. Really authentic and wonderful.

Lovely restaurant and attentive staff.  Maybe more vegetarian options on the menu would be nice.
