Quanto Basta — Restaurant in Lecce

We went there after dinner on a Sunday, got a table and went in to order drinks. Not that simple. The way it works is you go up and try to squeeze in between the people who are already sitting at the bar. This is the most disorganized system for ordering.

After bumping with customers for nearly 30 minutes we walked out. It's really a shame because the drinks appeared to be made well and skillfully.

AVOID! Some of the staff are so rude and they look like they just don’t want to be there. We couldn’t choose our table and we were told we had to seat inside and wouldn’t be able to move afterwards. When I asked if we could wait for a table outside, he told us ‘they are not a waiting room so it’s either this table or no table’

The service (skinny tall guy with hair divided in the middle) was just terrible compared to bars around where we felt welcome.

There are so many other good places in Lecce who value as a customer, do not go here. It’s...
