Soffio Bistrot e Restaurant

I normally don’t leave reviews but for this place I have to. The food was exceptional, the ingredients were incredibly fresh and the waitstaff is very attentive. Also, the place is beautiful! We went a couple of times when we were in Lecce and tried different dishes, all delicious including the sushi (one of the best I’ve tasted) and the amazing tiramisu. Definitely a must if you are in Puglia!

Amazing food and perfect fine-dining experience. We were welcomed with a small apetizer which we didn't expect, but opened our food receptors. Then we were served freshly baked warm bread with Apulian olive oil. We had two different tartars as antipasti and then the main dishes which also tasted amazing. Finally we got one more compliment by the chef in the form of a small jelly raspberry. We tasted Fiano and Verdeca as wine choices for the dinner, with the Verdeca tasting better personally for me. Overall great dining experience. Can only recommend it again.

Had a slow braised pork cheek, it was absolutely brilliant. We were served very quickly by knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere and lovely people and food. Would recommend !!!

Booked a table for two for our anniversary online. Was given a lovely table for two outside. Our table only had one chair and many of the tables around us weren’t set and looked untidy. We tried to order risotto two share but was told it’s minimum two people (this wasn’t stated on the menu) we were told it would take 18-20 mins to make so we were suggested to order an appetiser. We didn’t as we had ordered a lot of food and didn’t want to spoil the dinner. 50 mins later the risotto arrived and it was cold and very undercooked (not al dente) and stone cold. We said we will not eat this and asked for our mains. 45 mins later we had been at the restaurant for 90 mins and not eaten. We said we’d like to leave and call a manager. No one came we got up to pay for our wine. No staff around just one young man at the bar on his phone who ignored us. One of the worse dining experiences we have ever had in Italy or world wide. The signage for the restaurant isn’t even pointing to the correct lift!! Everything bad.

This was my and my partner’s first gourmet dinner. And it was perfect. Atmosphere was very nice and quiet, place clean and spotless, and most importantly very warm. Davide was our waiter and he did his job flawlessly. And about the food. Before this restaurant we tried many different foods. Night before this we even had a dinner at one of highly rated masserias. But food in this restaurant was best we ever had. All dishes were crafted to the very last detail and each ingredient complimented each other. We both had tartare for starters, my main was spaghetti and my girlfriend had grilled octopus, and we shared cheesecake for dessert. We were also surprised by chef with couple of complimentary dishes, one was tuna tartare and second was nuts with chocolate. Overall we both would rate this place 10/10. Highly recommended.

Excellent food service and ambience. High end Italian. We had pulled pork tacos with potato foam, black angus buns and amazing eggplant filled bottoncini.

We tried the only restaurant of the hotel openned Service was made by a student with zero knowledge, food took 1:30 to arrive in a totally desert restaurant, bill was expensive and street very noisy it’s a big NO thank you

Excellent cuisine and service. Very pleasant ambiance.
