A Passo Duomo - Lecce

Final night in Lecce and an absolute highlight! Bills itself as unconventional local food...not sure about unconventional but it certainly tasted imaginative and local. We both had pasta ..one with turnip tops broccoli) tasted straight from the field. And the bread... waited all week to find this chewy bread! They major on wine and when I mentioned that my second glass was not quite as good as the first it was still ok) he whipped it away and changed it. Where else does that happen! Quirky surroundings. Small business..would definitely recommend.

TA reviews looked generally very good and on Tuesdays it seems many restaurants in Lecce close, so this place seemed a good option for some antipasti and a couple of drinks. First up, the glass of red wine was the worst my husband tasted in 5 days. My non alcoholic beer was so bad it was undrinkable. Octopus was tasty enough but it was a very small portion for the price and had more potato than fish. The other dish Pittule was stodgy and we couldn’t really differentiate between the various fillings they all tasted much the same. We felt ripped off as visitors to any city, that is not a good way to be made to feel. We would not recommend this restaurant.

This place is very close to the cathedral and I gotta say that also the culinary experience had somewhat of divine... I had the opportunity of tasting four plates: fried zucchini blossom on a bed of ricotta: amazing! octopus in “pignata”: fresh, tasty, delicious and dipped in a marvelous sauce Podolica meat with pistachios: well cooked, juicy, tasty codfish with parmigiano: I was skeptic about this , I tasted , I begged for more! Simply delicious Service was good and the check absolutely cheaper than the experience I had! Highly recommended

We dropped in here for a light lunch lunch and chose a chicken salad and a smoked salmon salad together with soft drinks as it was a very warm day. Service was good and the salads enormous with plenty of the main ingredient Pasta dishes and deserts going past tgo other customers also looked very tempting and we would have returned had we not been moving on the next day

Great service, great food at decent prices Wanting to savour some of the local dishes, this place delivered fresh, clean dishes beautifully presented. The fresh and smoked burrata with capocollo is a standout In fact we ate at A Passo Duomo both nights we were in Lecce.
