Top 14 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Discover in Lecce

The arancini are spectacular! The pizza is also excellent, even the one with gluten 😉

Nice discovery, especially for the excellent gluten-free rotisserie. I will definitely return!

The pasta was simply mediocre quality for a gluten-free option. I expected more from a restaurant with an entire gluten-free menu and a prominent gluten-free star on their outdoor billboard. You can taste that the pasta is made from corn, so it's not something I would recommend. The service and atmosphere are great, though—I'm just disappointed with the pasta 🍝. I'm definitely curious about the sandwiches!

We arrived very late but were looked after with great service. My wife had the best gluten free pasta she’s ever had and the traditional pasta was superb. Outstanding.

SO MUCH QUALITY. Among so much variety of choice I tasted Pittule, Cocule, Crocchè and Salento artisanal beers. Everything perfect and made on the spot! The owner is professional, kind and helpful. There is also a small selection of quality wines and a gluten-free menu.

Gluten free puccia truly divine! Handcrafted by them! Even the normal puccia truly top! Fantastic staff.

Just perfetto! Tried 2 gluten-free options. The bread is super crunchy and tastes really good. You have fewer options with gluten free, but more than enough choice to satisfy your taste buds ;).

Ela Knegt-Szypulska

For the glutenfree crèpes and a lady that knows how and why she makes them. I.m really grateful for her understanding. Thank you once more.

Gluten-free supermarket in the center of Lecce. A variety of gluten- and lactose-free products from various brands. 100% recommended.

Wow!! The pizza here is some of the best we have had in Italy (and that is a lot 🤭). The gluten free was actual self made dough, not a ready made pizza, and super thin and crispy. I have never tasted anything like it! The toppings were also great, very fresh and a good amount of toppings. We had vegetarian pizza’s, and they had quite a few options. If you are vegetarian, I would only recommend to stick with the vegetarian pizza’s. Or if you want meat removed from a non-vegetarian pizza, I recommend to add an extra cheese topping (stracciatella, etc.) Still delicious though, we were stuffed, will save this place for next time! The waitresses were also very lovely and helpful, making sure we were okay :)

Really good rotisserie and pizzas, with more than affordable prices. Also excellent for those with special dietary needs: there are alternative flours suitable for celiacs, and they are not made just for the sake of it - they are really good. The service is fast, friendly and professional. A simple place but that does things well.
