First of all, congratulations to the chef, both for his skill in the kitchen and for his ability to relate to customers (where necessary).
In our wandering around Salento for holidays, for years I have treated myself to at least one evening at RICCIO.
Years ago I discovered it because it was suggested GLUTEN FREE, but I subsequently had confirmation of the validity of a project which, in my opinion, can already be glimpsed in the menu.
In summary: I find a lot of pasta and fish cooked in various formats and names around, more or less well made, all more or less homogeneous.
At RICCIO I find study, combinations and novelties... I prefer not to go further than inviting everyone to a trial.
The HOT GLUTEN FREE BREAD for my CELIAC wife was commendable.
