La Pocina - LIZZANELLO

Very friendly helpful owner introduced us to some of the local Salento foods which were expertly prepared by his wife in the kitchen The antipasti was like have a mini Greek/Cypriot Meze Salento style The first course was a pasta well seasoned with bursts cheese and local tomatoes which also very tasty Second course was some grilled beef served with rocket and parmigiana Finally a local Italian ice cream Some wine and water to accompany the meal Very reasonable and highly recommended if you are in the Lecce area

This was the best dinner we have had in Italy! The owner is extremely welcoming and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful meal (which was reasonably priced!! . He chose a number of appetizers for us (all amazing fried fish, seafood salad, eggplant lasagna, frittata . Then he cooked a delicious pork sausage pasta which was followed by icecream. Everything was from local ingredients and simply fantastic. The venue has a wonderful vibe.

I’ve been several times in italy, but never had better dinner. The owner/host was really really friendly. This is the best reastaurant to taste local cuisine. We didnt tell Him nothing, just to wanna try something local. He born to do this, happily fill the whole table in 5 minutes with real “salento” dishes. Totally recommended!!! 5* service!

Ottima cucina e servizio informale ma gioviale. Da tornare

Sono stato in questo locale con mia moglie. Siamo rimasti gradevolmente sorpresi dal sapore sublime ed antico degli ottimi piatti, tipici delle terre salentine,serviti dal cordialissimo Armando. Peccato non riuscire a mangiare tutto ciò che viene proposto. Tutto genuino e pesce freschissimo. Altra piacevole sorpresa? Prezzi modici rispetto a quel che si mangia. Complimenti ad Armando ed alla cuoca, che mi dicono essere sua figlia.
