The lady attending the restaurant was very nice and recommended some dishes to try. We had caneloni, some potatoes balls with sauce, aubergine with ground meet (delicious) and the famous cavallo. Quite cheap, very well located. Not mind-blowing quality but a good option for something local, fast and price oriented.

Big rush, for good reason. Friendly and speedy service. Tasty dishes at fair prices. Although tasty is an understatement, delicious food! A must when in Lecce. read more Big rush, for good reason.

The difference here was that the price included a half bottle of the local wine. It was, as usual, a sparkling rose though I ordered red.

I am a foodie and rarely leave food uneaten. But half of my meal went into the trashcan. I ordered two things, the first was meatballs in tomato sauce. They were supposedly made from beef and pork, but tasted like the mushy mystery meat on a McDonald 's hamburger. Also, they weren 't hot. I also ordered the plate of vegetables with burrata. The vegetables were cooked beyond recognition to the point they were soft and mushy. And one of them had a taste so bitter, I couldn 't eat it. I do have to say, though, the ball of burrata in the center of the vegetable plate was good. Nothing else.
