We discovered this place because it is certified AIC for a celiac person. What can I say, a wonderful surprise as we returned several times in a week. Very extensive menu which justifies our return to always taste new dishes. If you pass through Gallipoli you must stop.
Greetings to the very kind and friendly owner.
From Giovanni and Gloria.
Typical restaurant 10 meters from the beach in the heart of Otranto. An entire gluten-free menu but above all homemade gluten-free pasta. Perfect for intolerants and celiacs. Very good
In the heart of Lecce a little gem: super friendly staff, great food, quiet atmosphere and, above all, everything and I mean everything also gluten free! Very important for me, since I am celiac. We will definitely come back next time we are in Lecce!

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!
Excellent bakery I ate a fantastic cake called "BALDI" and I was ecstatic about the goodness of the cake. In addition, gluten-free, egg-free, and milk-free
I'll start by saying that we're not from the area, we looked for this place on the internet reading the reviews that fully reflect what they say. We were welcomed and served with extreme kindness, attention to serving gluten-free dishes and recommending the dishes.
We couldn't read the menu in dialect but the owner translated and explained all the dishes to us!
I recommend the courgette flowers and the very tender horse meat...not to mention the potatoes and mussels....linguine with sea urchins, a scent....
A place to return and recommend for celiacs and non-celiacs!
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.
Congratulations to Stefano Bianco's pastry shop that has been able to open its horizons and allow people like me with food intolerances to enjoy the gluten and lactose free pasticciotto. On holiday in Salento I could not pass up this rare opportunity. Thank you!
Excellent pizza both normal and gluten-free, light and full of flavor. Very friendly and nice staff, homely and convivial atmosphere. Highly recommended!
My friends and I stumbled upon this place by chance and were pleasantly surprised.
Hospitality and education were the fundamental pillars of our experience with the staff.
The menu offers the customer the opportunity to choose between several very attractive dishes, which certainly will not disappoint you.
Furthermore, it is possible to eat their sandwiches with the gluten-free formula in order to accommodate those who are celiac or gluten intolerant.
The environment is calm: you can consume both inside and outside.
The only flaw for those going in a group is that the place has adopted a policy whereby separate accounts cannot be made.
Lastly, to my displeasure, two extra covers were added to the bill but we noticed this when we had already left the restaurant.
Despite this, I would like to recommend everyone to stop by here. ❤️
Characteristic seaside restaurant also suitable for celiacs, I recommend all the dishes apart from the citrus rolls, delicious seared tuna with peppers and seafood crudites, Latin American music in the background, excellent for couples and families
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.
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 :)
We had a great time and brought our friends. My wife and daughter are celiac but the owner has great experience having in the past an AIC agreement. Very relaxing location to spend a quiet evening and excellent cuisine. Compliments!
Highly recommended place! Excellent food and very friendly staff. Also, almost all the dishes can be replicated without gluten (the fried food and the swordfish Gallipoli style are excellent).
Ok place, large, welcoming, well kept. Wide choice of products and drinks. Too bad the long-awaited gluten free pizza was practically raw. Bad slip...
I turned a blind eye, as it was a Saturday night with hundreds of people...

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 ;).
Vegan and gluten-free options for pasticciotto leccese: freshly made, excellent.
Quick service, very central location, ok price for the gluten free choice and the location
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.
Excellent pastry and rotisserie with excellent lactose-free products (if necessary also with gluten-free and lactose-free options). Finally, after decades, I was able to taste a real pasticciotto from Lecce worthy of the name and designed for us who are lactose intolerant! All the girls at the counter or at the table service are very kind and professional. Highly recommended!

Nice place, environment reminiscent of old saloons... friendly and smiling staff. As for the food, overall acceptable: excellent burger, but the side chips arrived cold. Being celiac, I consider the sandwich to be a little chewy. However, we can go back
Elegant location overlooking Castro Marina. Kind and super helpful staff, especially in my case I was served by Antonio who reassured me in choosing the menu, also available totally gluten-free. Tasty and abundant portions.
Six of us had dinner, one of us was gluten and lactose intolerant
Truly impeccable attention
Presence of gluten-free bread/pasta and desserts
We ate very well
Impeccable service
