Tentazioni in Lecce

Gluten free cones available

Lots of flavours of ice cream but also many other deserts and pastries. Friendly and helpful staff with seating inside and outside

Un bar pasticceria gelateria davvero elegante pulito e ben disposto su una delle piazze centrali di Lecce. Il personale è molto educato servizievole e sorridente, ci siamo trovati subito bene e a nostro agio. Il gelato poi è davvero buono di qualità e devo dire che ho trovato i prezzi davvero bassi rispetto ad altre gelaterie. Buono e attento il servizio tornerò sicuramente per fare colazione. Consigliatissimo

very good ice cream

Locale elegante in centro dove provare il caffè al ghiaccio con latte di mandorla e il celebre pasticciotto leccese. Ottimi entrambi. Personale gentile. Sarebbe stato da cinque stelle ma uno spiacevole episodio finale ne ha rovinato il ricordo. Ci hanno infatti contestato di essere andati via senza aver pagato tutte le consumazioni. Quando siamo tornati indietro con lo scontrino dimostrando il pagamento ci hanno detto che si saranno sbagliati con un altro tavolo. Intanto ci avevano fatto fare una figuraccia davanti a tutto il gruppo... Occhio dunque nei pagamenti e conservate lo scontrino.

Delusi, colazione un po triste, abbiamo ordinato due brioches, un succo alla pera e un caffè espresso normalissimo, per le bevande ok ma le brioches erano veramente piccole (ci stanno nel palmo di una mano).La farcitura date le dimensioni sembrava abbondante ma quella alla crema non è stata gradita, quella al cioccolato è ok.La posizione è carina, il servizio è nella media e i prezzi sono abbastanza alti, noi in due abbiamo speso 8.70€, un prezzo giustificato solo dai rincari energetici e dalla posizione in cui si trova, ma non per la qualità del servizio bar.

Awful place!A lady decides to clean while the place was very crowded. She was very rude by telling us to move in order for her to clean. It was a complete non sense regarding the crowd!! Additionally, the crepe was not good at all. Cold, not tasty. They don’t even wear gloves.In fact, one lady who was cleaning as well came to serve people without cleaning her hands. I don’t recommend the place at all. I suggest to the staff to organize better internally and to be welcoming to consumers (basics!!)

This place deserves less than 1 star, the service was horrible. Arrogant and rude staff that dont speak a word in English.

It was very badFood BadService Bad

Terrible service, waiter was very passive aggressive and ive never felt more threatened ordering ice cream, and having to pay to sit down for a place that is empty is ridiculous, good ice cream though. however still would never spend another penny here

Lovely establishment, the staff was friendly and the ice cream was great, i would happily frequent this place :)

Worst place in Italy I’ve ever been. They tried to cheat us on 3 coffes. Each of them cost 1€ 🤣. After long discussion with manager they figure it out that we already paid for coffee. The argue was long and embarassing only for us not for them. Higly not recommended. Avoid this place

Good view but bad ‏service

Ate breakfast here daily for over a week (included with nearby bnb). Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Mauro. Food was of high quality, delicious and all items were fresh. Fresh pressed juices were especially good. Had a good selection of vegan pastries and kitchen was able to adapt standard toast sandwiches to become vegan. Couldnt recommended it more for breakfast.

I only give 2 stars for the hospitality of the waitress, as we were not allowed to sit at the table after we bought cone ice cream.Anyway, the ice cream was very good, you can also find 2 gluten-free flavors.

We only stopped for a pre dinner drink. Its a convenient spot but the service was quite abrupt to the point of rudeness. We were in town for 3 nights and didnt go back because of the service.

Nice ice cream, decent breakfast, good coffee, friendly staff

"Tentazioni" è una gradevole gelateria situata in pieno centro a Lecce, con una piacevole vista su Piazza S. Oronzo. Dopo la comanda, abbiamo dovuto attendere un po poiché i rustici non erano pronti, ma siamo stati ripagati dalla lunga attesa: ottimo il ripieno e leggera la sfoglia. Il personale è giovane, preparato e se fosse un po più attento e celere, la recensione avrebbe meritato sicuramente una stella in più. Lo spumoncino è stato apprezzato ed ha risvegliato il palato con delle piacevoli sensazioni. La cheesecake molto buona e la coppa gelato squisita (unica pecca lassenza di molti gusti presenti nel menù).

Best ice cream in Lecce!!!

Siamo stati qui un pomeriggio per gustare il famoso caffè Leccese e il pasticciotto. Entrambi ottimi. Personale gentile e locale molto bello.La sera siamo tornati per il gelato. Anchesso buono e nonostante fosse un cono piccolo ( cialda abbondante.

Location ottima in piena piazza e ottima vista, caffè leccese ottimo e a buon prezzo. Lunica ma grande pecca è il servizio lento tanto da portare diversi clienti ad andarsene e cambiare bar. Migliorato questo aspetto, sarebbe ottimo.

Kind service, delicious taste, good prices. 😇

Un bel locale, molto chic. Personale molto gentile e sempre disponibile. Pietanze buonissime e molto appetitose. Dalle crêpes ai waffles, dallo yogurt a gelati di tutti gusti, dai tradizionali a quelli personalizzati. Ampia scelta di mousse monoporzioni, spumoni e prima colazione. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Food is good but super slow service! it took more than half an hour to order after sitting at the table, with only a couple of waiters around. I would recommend increasing either the number or the speed of the waiters, especially on a Sunday morning when you expect a certain amount of customers.

Awful service, client is treated as an enemy. Weve ordered our ice creams inside to eat outside. We werent advised that for sitting in the table you need to pay an additional charge. Instead when we took the table, we were asked to leave the cafeteria. Waitress didnt ask if we want to pay an extra fee, but simply told us to leave the table.

Rude service, no way to sit outside if you buy ice creams to take away …

We took a sit at a table outside but since no one came to serve us we went inside to order ice cream. After we sat down with the ice cream a waitress told us we have to leave because we can only sit there if we order with the waiter and get our ice cream in a glass (note:ice cream in glass was just a cone put in the glass <facepalm>). Never have I ever encountered such bad service.

Awful place! No more, thank you. They force you to sit, because it is more expensive than take away (speaking of icecream). The young waitress acting like it is her first day here did not even bring me the change. 10 euro! I had go there by myself. Sweeping the floor was probably more important than customer service...

Expensive, very slow (~35minand not good coffee. Double check the amount debited when paying contactless; charged triple the receipt (!)

Poor service, waited ages for someone to attend to us in the end got cold cappuccino and rude service. Disappointed

It took them 20 min to take our order, after we were lead to a free table inside the café. After a servant kindly took our order we continued to wait for another 20 mins. We ordered simple products which were already done plenty and shown at the counter. So why did we have to wait that long? After we finished eating another servant came to us and told us to pay, which for the first time was a bit confusing, cause in all other Restaurants/Cafés we used to pay at the counter, after we finished eating. He insisted on the payment and put the card reader on my "empty" plate and as he took it back he (accidentlypulled leftovers onto me and he didnt excused himself.Long story short: we took 50-60 min to dine 2 sandwiches, 2 cornettos and 2 drinks.

Waited for over an hour for some sandwiches

The only crappier thing than the service is the food. Though the service did take an excessive amount of time, the issue was that the staff was unapologetic. You would try and get their attention and they would nod and proceed to serve all other tables but yours. After waiting for eternity for the food, the quality was no better than food from a gas station.

Typical tourist scam, do not recommend at all! We asked for takeaway icecream in the cup. Been told it is not possible and we have to sit down (with clear information the price is same). And what happened - of course price for small portion increased from 2.50 to 4 euro! And waitress has disappeared while the other explains it was her first day. Do not waist your time here, there are many other and much nicer places with different service And better icecream!!Also responding to owners reply - I have asked for take away ice cream, there was clear statement from servant that there is no difference. Also your graphical description says dedicated price to cup/cone (which by the way has the same price - you can post the picture here if I am wrong). Anyhow we, in other parts of Europe, says - customer is always right. That means treat customers nice and they will come back and share nice review. Hope few additional euros I have paid are worth to you. As it seems you assume tourists will not mostly come back again, why to be fair to them....Also other reviews here are just a prove of your service....sorry for that. Try to do your work better and you will have much better reviews (3,7 is not good....)

Very quick service with nice outside seating.

Unfriendly staff, but ice cream was okay.

The ice cream is ok. The coffee is ok. The service is awful.We asked for two espressos after choosing our ice cream. While paying we asked if they would bring them to us outside. They said yes. When we sat down outside we were rudely asked to go away by a different waiter.We had to move to different seats, meanwhile our ice cream is melting. In the end we also had to pay extra for the service of bringing 2 coffees outside....Uncoordinated service. Just tell us you cannot bring us the coffee and that we have to sit somewhere else while we were paying.. instead all of this BS. Thanks for nothing.

Went here today, unfortunately they did not have the flavors I wanted which is not a problem because I asked what they did have and would make a decision out of that. But the staff member that was helping us was very rude. He got annoyed and walked away, then came back randomly with yoghurt ice cream for me, I did not ask for that and neither did he want to help us further. Maybe he had a bad day, but this was utterly unprofessional.

There are 2 ice cream Parlours in the square, this is the best one.

Very tasty ice cream! Recommended.

Very good

Perfect pancakes and Baba. Nice service

OK for coffee and a drink. Sandwich and snacks were nothing special.

Amazingly good gelato!

Very nice ice creams in the centre of Lecce. Nice staff .Very clean toilets too

Delicious Ice creams.

We had 2 Gelatos here, the lady was helpful, the Gelato was good and the serving was as much as the cups could hold - and cheaper than the "best" place ! Lots of variety available. We were pleased.

Shocking service, young guys who dont care

Wide variety of ice creams and pastries, nice bar and kind personnel

Low quality
