Boccon Divino - Lecce

Had a simple dinner at @boccondivinolecce_ in the festive old town of Lecce. There is a wide variety of food but their regional pasta dishes are the must order. I love orecchiette and the tomato seasoned al dente pasta that’s uniquely Lecce was yummy!

Due to late arrival of our flight we booked this place as it looked relaxed and stayed open late what a find ! it is on the main tourist drag but the food was amazing orrecchiette was a delight as was the service Chiara our waitress very helpful and friendly despite our poor attempts to speak italian ! food is way above what we expected not the usual 'tourist fayre '!

Boccon Divino serves a wide range of local dishes and wines, all of which are delicious. We had a shared starter of samples of various local foods which was a great introduction to the local cuisine. The rest of the meal was equally tasty and the service was excellent. Not surprisingly, this is a very popular restaurant on a busy pedestrian street and is highly recommended.

Pleasant and quiet environment. excellent Salento cuisine

Very nice restaurant just a few steps from the cathedral. a very cozy place, very courteous waiters and attentive to the details. I felt at home. we ate two excellent first dishes: ciceri and tria (pasta and chickpeas with fried pasta) and aubergines, smoked scamorza and cherry tomatoes, but also appetizers were nothing bad. we also had the pleasure of knowing the owner, Mr. Jacob, a person in a certain sense, with sense of humor, but above all working with passion. It was really a nice lunch.
