Ristorante Loquita - Santa Maria di Leuca

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

Every time I return to Leuca I never miss dinner at La loquita. My daughter is celiac and they are very careful about contamination. Exceptional fish dishes and appetizers. I have been frequenting this spectacular restaurant in this spectacular place for years.

We came to Loquita specifically for the ability to order gluten-free food. By telephone, during the booking phase, we were told that we could freely choose the time but, upon arriving at the restaurant, we were informed by the waiter with considerable surprise that it was no longer possible to order gluten-free dishes (except for the raw and second courses, but with drastic variations compared to the à la carte menu) because the kitchen was now contaminated and they would not have guaranteed the total absence of gluten. Not to mention the excessive waiting times (we waited an hour from the time of ordering to the arrival of the starters). Finally, we found it unpleasant to see several cats passing under the table while we were eating. The only positive note is the location of the restaurant right in front of the sea.
