Alle due Corti Puglia Heritage Restaurant

We had the absolute pleasure of dining here two nights in a row — and if that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does! The food is a true celebration of traditional Italian cooking, each dish bursting with depth, authenticity, and the kind of flavors that linger in your memory long after the meal. Every bite feels like a love letter to Italy’s culinary heritage. Equally remarkable is the genuine hospitality. The team welcomed us with such warmth and sincerity that we felt more like guests in a family home than customers in a restaurant. We will definitely be coming back again — this gem has become a highlight of our trip.

Perfect experience. We were travelling around Italy for several days now and by far the food in this restaurant was the best we had. It tasted like homemade straight out of an italian home. Service was also nice and the restaurant itself is very pleasing and again felt cozy and like home. I definitely recommend!

Here at Alle Due Corti we had a fantastic experience trying authentic local dishes in the best way possible. The ingredients were fresh, the food was hot and the people serving us were extremely warm and friendly and even were giving recommendations on food. It was our best experience in Lecce exploring the local cuisine.

One of my favorite dinners I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying in Italy. The food is absolutely incredible - fresh, simply seasoned, and utterly delicious. After just the appetizer course, we were already making plans to return! 1000% recommended.

We were a party of six and had a great dinner. We had a 930 reservation which the owner called us to tell us our table is ready so we didn’t have to wait inside and we could walk around town when we did get in. They seemed a little overwhelmed and took a while to take our order. Get us our wine, but it was worth the weight. The food was delicious so many appetizers would highly recommend checking this place out.

We had a fantastic meal, enjoying the orchiette pasta and the codfish with parsley at a simple, family table. The food was hearty, homestyle, and incredibly flavorful. The whole restaurant had a familiar, cozy atmosphere. What truly made the experience was the service: it was so friendly it felt like being hosted by a family member! Georgia and her team are delightful, and I would definitely recommend this for a southern Italian craving. We had wine two entrées and dessert which totaled €48.

Authentic and so so delicious! We loved it here! Would recommend this restaurant if you want to try tasty local Leccese cuisine!!!

The food here is just incredible – real Puglian cooking, full of flavour, tradition and olive oil. Everything was fresh and homemade, like something you’d expect to be served in a local family kitchen. The staff were so warm and friendly, making us feel completely at home. You can tell this is a family-run place where they truly care about what they serve and how they welcome you, definitely don’t miss this if you want authentic cuisine!

This restaurant was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. The fava purée with chicory was the best we've had in the region. We also ordered the pasta with ceci. As is typical of this dish, there is fried pasta mixed in with the boiled pasta to give it a crunchy texture. It was also delicious. The meal ended with pan fried in wine. It reminded me of a dish my grandmother used to make. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate. Highly recommended!

I wished I could spend another day here to try real Italian food. The food here was absolutely horrendous, nothing of which I would ever hope to ever try again. The baked mussels with potatoes and rice was a gong show- overpowered by salt and underwhelming with mushy rice. As I said if I could choose another restaurant, I really would. The house wine is also acidic and imbalanced. Take my advice, don't.

Wonderful local food. The pollo con vino Bianco e cipolle was delicious, as was the chocolate mousse! The menu is in dialect but has quirky English translations, such as "a extinguished local dish" ie: distinguished. Charming.
