Restaurant serving Salento cooking, run by Tiziana and Piero beside Lecce's public gardens, under stone vaults, in the Michelin guide. Open Sunday lunchtime.

Salento cooking beside the gardens
Osteria degli Spiriti is on Via Cesare Battisti, beside Lecce's public gardens and a few minutes' walk from the historic centre. It is run by Tiziana and Piero, who look after the dining room and the kitchen with produce from local suppliers. The Michelin guide lists it and describes it as a classic, elegant, central restaurant, with high stone-vaulted ceilings, like those of an old masseria, and a newer, more modern room.
It is the place to eat Lecce and Salento cooking with some care: traditional dishes, passed through a finer hand, and a good cellar.
What to order
The menu follows the season and moves between land and sea. The dishes the Michelin guide cites from the house give an idea:

Vegetable antipasto and focaccias, to start by sharing.
Spelt spaghetti with cheese, aubergine and small tomatoes.
Salt cod on potato foam.

There are also fish and fresh pasta dishes, and homemade sweets for dessert. The wine list gives weight to the cellars of the Salento and Apulia, in red, rosé and white, with wines from other regions, as well as craft beers that they recommend according to the dish.
The website does not publish menu prices.
