The bartender high-fived me when I came in and tried to speak broken Italian, then helped us order pizza slices and good local beers. The only downside was they blasted music too loud but, hey, I'm old!

AMAZING food!! Alright so this restaurant is located very…read moreclose to the water in a very quaint neighborhood. You turn the corner to find other neat eateries and gelato spots - we didn't know that when we arrived to this spot. All we knew was how hungry we were and how difficult it was to find a restaurant open for lunch. Since it's so close the the water, they have incredible and intricate seafood dishes, which are a bit pricey, but you pay for the experience and the artistry. My husband and I shared our meal to try a little bit of everything. To start of, our server (the owner) is really nice and he's quite a cool guy. His wife is the chef. We ordered mackerel with sun dried tomatoes, and cheese which I didn't care too much about but to be honest I'm not a fan of mackerel- my husband ordered it. I loved my appetizer! Highly recommend the seared octopus over ginger potato soup. What an ingenious combination! My husband ordered the octopus infused gnocchi which was very different because it was cheesy and seafood(y)? at the same time. I really enjoyed our fish. I forgot what type it was but we were given the option to select it and it was deboned and plated beautifully by the owner. Oh, also their limoncello was the best we've had on our trip.

The paprika bread with olive oil is very good. For starters, we order the Baccalà fritto con salsa forte, and the homemade prosciutto with flor de late, both very good. For main course I followed the maître suggestion: Troccoli con pesto di pistacchi e gamberi (Spaghetti with pesto of pistachio and prawns), that was amazing. My husband ordered the Filetto di spigola and my friend the pulpit, all very good. The Scarpetta rose wine, made for the house, was a perfect complement. An amazing first night at this wonderful Italian town Lecce.

Our wine was plunked on the table and never gave us wine glasses like the rest of the restaurant. We had to pour our own wine. We noted other servers poured the wine to the guests . Stephano never came back to ask if we needed anything. Our salads were served and we were given packets of olive oil and vinegar. We noted other tables got olive oil and vinegar in a carafe. Our coffee was served in a clear glass without a handle so you couldn't pick up the glass without getting burned . We kept quiet and did not leave a tip . Never been treated so poorly.
