Far from the touristic area, the place feels like a real classic Italian restaurant, the ones you sees in the movies, we were the only tourists there.The food is great, exactly what we wanted. The service is really good and the price are more than fair.

The highlight of our trip to Lecce was the authentic food fromMammaRitas.To look at the venue you might not go there but in the evening you'll find it packed with locals. Very good value. The best pizza I've ever had.

Great food great prices in what looks like it was some industrial building. Great bustling atmosphere. We went on our penultimate evening and just had to go back on our final evening in Lecce.

Authentic, traditional, good service.Sure, the restaurants in the ZTL are excellent, too but here is where the locals divertiti a mangiare.I feel more comfortable dining where tourists are outliers.
