Top 45 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Lecce

Elisa Vetrugno

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

Jeffrey Heuvel

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!

Elisa Stellino

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!

Cande Bonafe

The best gluten-free pizza in Italy! 100%!

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.

Chiara Caravatta

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!

Rafael Bervicato

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.

Lorena Polidoro

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

Jeffrey Heuvel

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.

stefano puzzello

All really good, excellent dishes even gluten-free, we will be back

Lorraine Edwards

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 :)

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

Alessandra Prefetto

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...

Saphir Etoile

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.

Fabio Ciccarese

Excellent gluten-free ice cream, thank you

Giulia Notaro

Always a guarantee. Gluten-free pizza and cocktails 🔝

Vincenzo Grasso

Kind and welcoming staff. Wide choice of menu and attentive to celiacs and intolerant people. Spacious place. Evaristo super!

Dario Boccardo

Excellent gluten-free sandwiches, enjoyed in the center of Piazza S. Oronzo. Young and helpful staff.

Patrizia Pagliara

Pizza by the slice, excellent focaccias. Also gluten free

Sarah V

Two-storey McDonald's, with tables also outside, strategically located in the centre, therefore obviously always crowded. I often order from you at home via Glovo and the delivery is fast and the orders always arrive correctly. I only recommend expanding with gluten free options, just one sandwich is a limited choice.

Stefania Quarta

What struck me most about this place was the attention to the customer. I had ordered a gluten-free pizza but it came out a little too "crunchy". The owner noticed that I was having some difficulty eating it and without me saying anything she immediately arranged for another truly delicious and crumbly one to be made. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the pizzas and fritti are excellent and I saw some very inviting first courses passing by. Low prices. We will definitely be back

We had lunch at Crianza on Easter day. Even though we hadn't booked, the staff welcomed us with enthusiasm and was ready to satisfy our every need. Giorgio, together with the other waiters, guided us in choosing the dishes which, in fact, were better than each other. We tasted the specials of the day: Tris Sea Tartare and Paccheri Filled with Creamed Cod, what can I say SPECTACULAR! Furthermore, for those intolerant to lactose and gluten, there are also dedicated options for desserts (what not taken for granted even today). I tasted the Artisan Ice Cream Pralines. Tasting of three flavors of ice cream covered in dark chocolate: Marzipan, Orange Dark Chocolate, Dried Figs and Cupeta were superlative! The alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails were also carefully crafted and were excellent. In short, our experience was excellent, if we were to return to Lecce we will undoubtedly return to Crianza and his staff! Greetings from Valentina & Angelo from Sicily

Hermance 21

Lovely waitresses - I'm delighted to have been able to enjoy a lactose and gluten free pizza. I recommend!!

Vito Di Mieri

Very nice owners!!! Great food, even gluten free.

Elisa del Cerro

We had gluten free pasta with pomodoro and burrata, a great combination. The atmosphere is very beautiful and picturesque in the square, seeing the essence of the center.

Roberto Fiorucci

A place highly recommended by a family member of mine, we ate quite well, the dishes were very tasty and well seasoned I absolutely did not like the behavior of the owner who seemed to be doing us a favor, nor the fact that during the booking phase he had indicated to me that my celiac wife could easily eat a first course, which however did not happen, as the only first course the dish available for her was a seafood risotto which unfortunately could only be served if 2 people liked it. He had to eat a second course and a side dish Paid too much for what was eaten (60 euros total for a first course, a second course, a side dish and 2 glasses of wine) There's better

Arzu

I had a great time at this restaurant! The welcome was warm and attentive. I particularly appreciated the gluten-free options – a real plus when you have dietary restrictions. The staff were very kind and professional in providing advice, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was delicious. I definitely recommend it!

We chose Ristorante Alex for a dinner with colleagues and the experience was excellent from every point of view. Located right in the center, the restaurant stands out for its relaxing and refined atmosphere, and an elegant and very well-kept environment, with spacious and well-organized interiors, and outdoor tables perfect for summer evenings. The menu is varied and well-structured, with both seafood and meat options, including options for celiacs. The real strength of the restaurant is the attention to the raw materials, the fish is undoubtedly very fresh and is enhanced by careful preparations and elegant plating, respecting and enhancing the authentic flavor of the ingredients. We started with a mixed seafood appetizer and a selection of raw fish, accompanied by various sauces and flavored salts that enhanced the taste. As a first course, the lemon tagliolini with scampi tartare, shrimp and stracciatella was simply exquisite. The Catalan-style octopus was also excellent, tender and well-seasoned. We finished with desserts that were a pleasant surprise, memorable both for the presentation and the taste. The staff was courteous, attentive and always available, guaranteeing an impeccable service. The quality-price ratio was also excellent, fully justified by the quality of the raw materials and the attention to every detail. I will return with great pleasure

Valentina Gaetani

Super recommended for celiacs: many gluten-free options are clearly marked!

Walter Lo Duca

I'll start by saying that the waiter was friendly and really attentive to the shortcomings (even superfluous) of the room, I spent a really pleasant evening, excellent dishes. Also served gluten-free.

Patrizia Russo

Very good ice cream and also available gluten-free cone. The price for a gluten-free cone with two flavors and a little cream is €4.50. The person behind the counter is kind.

Arianna Scredi

It was the first time I went there, beautiful place, very kind and nice staff, especially the red-haired waitress Gloria who was super kind and sweet. Another thing not to be taken for granted, the pizza with gluten-free dough was as good as if there were no difference between the doughs. With the possibility of choosing any pizza on the menu. Which doesn't happen in many places 🖤🫠

Cynthia Daly

Natalia Saffioti

Highest quality meat, courteous and attentive staff, an owner who knows what it means to put her face to work and does it great! Also ready for gluten-free! Excellent experience!

Veronica Osta

Super recommended for many reasons. The fries are made with rice flour, therefore also accessible to those suffering from intolerances or celiac disease. The dishes: green, km0 and above all excellent. The place is designed with attention to detail, making you feel at peace and away from the chaos. The service and staff equally deserving of 5 stars.

Chanel G.

They offer a good gluten free pizza.

Elisa Liberti

Yes Gluten Free 🎉 I was there a while ago, but yesterday we decided to go back.. WHAT TO SAY! We had a seafood tasting and having specified my gluten intolerance they brought me octopus salad with GLUTEN-FREE croutons: my happiness at that moment was inexplicable. Then followed by two first courses, super delicious! Kindness, service and unique place, account in the norm. We will be back, thank you!

Mary Upton

********Great place to dine, highly recommended ****** What more can I say! Perfection 👌. I am gluten-free and the host made it work so I can have gnocchi fresh! Amazing 👏 then he offered me a slice of gluten free pizza 🍕 which was very light and not heavy on my stomach. Really enjoyed being here. Great service and very friendly obliging staff. Highly recommend. Top marks.

Samra Musovic

Everything was great! Very good sushi, a lot of variation and also a lot of gluten free options! Also gluten free soy sauce available. The sushi is richly filled with fresh fish and is presented in a luxurious way. Even though it was quite busy, we didn't have to wait long for our orders. The staff is also very kind.

francis

Very good ice cream and more artisanal My wife who is allergic to gluten was able to taste it

Martino Graziotti

Long live gluten-free! Congratulations
