Road 66 - Lecce

A forced choice as it was late and all places were taken. I would have avoid eating indoor, with strong air conditioning and hyper-slow service (although very kind). Meals were ok but I would not choose Far West eating in Lecce. Nice place if you are staying for long, are with kids etc.

Specifically visited the bar/restaurant for a good beer listed and based on the very good food reviews. Conveniently located in the old town but we walked a good 2 km in the rain to go here. Positives extensive beer menu as hoped. Nothing brewed on site but good craft selection. The interior is American road house and the loud rock music and videos was fun. Average big menu with many American favourites, loads of meat dishes and some Tex mex. Prices ok, maybe slightly above average for Lecce Old Town. Mains dishes were ok to be generous. Poor SERVICE, 7 people on staff and we had slow response to everything. Would have had additional beer if any of the staff bothered to inquire if my empty glass could be refilled. When I did manage to order I was brought the wrong beer. Bruschetta was toast with large cut tomatoes. No oils, garlic, basil etc. . Bread not worth eating. To top off the night the change the waitress brought was 10€ short. Really disappointing for when I hoped would be great beer and food. Would never return or recommend.

If you feel frustrated with looking at the same restricted Puglian food served up in the majority of restaurants in Lecce, then this will come as a welcome change. More like a typical Tex Mex restaurant, it serves the likes of burgers, enchaldas, tortillas etc etc. The burgers are large but very tasty (although no fries, not even available as a side! . Service is a bit slow (but typical of the area it doesn’t come across as the cleanest place on earth but can’t fault the food. They also do a VERY nice IPA (very like Brewdog Punk IPA . Decent prices comes recommended if you want a change.

Ristorante storico, simbolo del centro della città, sempre ricco di nuove proposte culinarie. Piatti di carne eccellenti. Birre di qualità.

Un'esperienza emblematica: una costola in ghisa non perfettamente al sangue come richiesto è stata immediatamente sostituita dal proprietario dello chef con una scusa non solo della stessa ma di tutto lo staff del pub. la carne di prima qualità e ottimamente presentata. L'hamburger è molto buono. Servizio attento, veloce e amichevole. ASSOLUTENUE da consigliare!
