Antonella Marrano

Everything was delicious... from the starters, first courses, second courses and desserts... I recommend it! Especially for those with allergy-intolerance problems: Gluten-free and lactose-free Cozy place 😊

Giovanni Leone

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.

Martino Graziotti

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

Stephanie Bergeron

Ideal for celiacs, really good.

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!

mauro peroni

The food was high quality even gluten free, the boy who brought the tables was disorganized and his clothes were not clean, for the rest the food was good

Maciej Bakensztos

Good gluten free pizza for celiacs

Chelsea

They offer gluten free pizza dough and lactose free cheese! And their signature red cherry tomatoes are amazing! I had them on the Margherita verde pizza and they were the best tomatoes I ate in Italy. They were so good, I actually wish there were more on the pizza!

Martina Samorì

Great place also for my celiac son

This restaurant is clearly a tourist trap. I had my suspicions when I saw the extremely long menu, and this was confirmed when I saw the pizzas arrive. They are clearly the worst pizzas I've ever eaten in Italy (you can find better ones in my country), and the spritzes were very poorly measured. I don't believe for a single second that the ingredients were fresh and local, and the regular and gluten-free pasta may be homemade, but it's clearly not mastered (very crumbly, little flavor, unpleasant texture in the mouth). To the owner, I hope I've provided enough detail in my review to avoid a mocking response, which would be a real sign of a lack of self-reflection. It seems obvious to me that almost all of the positive comments about the restaurant were made by tourists who know nothing about true Italian gastronomic culture. The only positive point of the restaurant is that the prices are quite affordable, which is a good thing considering the quality of the food and drinks offered.

Gianluca Andrenucci

Very positive experience, friendly staff, excellent food, even gluten free.

Gianni Stano

We went for an anniversary and we knew we wouldn't go wrong. Celiac food for one of our guests, and that says it all. Excellent food, friendly owners and friendly waiters. I highly recommend

Emiliano Di Ruscio

Are you in Porto Cesareo and don't know where to find good gluten-free food? No problem, Puerto Picciu will take care of it!!!! Located practically on the seafront of Porto Cesareo and you will find a gluten-free preparation that you really don't expect... fish sandwiches, fish first courses, everything strictly fresh.... fast and prepared service. In short, absolutely to try!!!! TOP

Stefano Calandra

Nice place and attentive service. Great for gluten free.

Stefania Zanatello

I really want to leave this review, as a celiac I finally managed to taste the puccia, gluten-free bread made by them!! Giuseppe loves his job, he cares about leaving his mark and making everyone happy, even those who eat "normal" were super satisfied, top ingredients

ezio sordini

Beautiful location overlooking the sea but fantastic gluten-free menu. (My wife said that the normal one was also very good.) We were there for three consecutive nights and we ate both pizza and fish. Everything was delicious. Super competent staff, a special mention for Carmine.

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.

Agostino De luca

Excellent pizza especially great for celiacs

Marw

Quiet place... silent, not chaotic.. light background music.. very kind staff, typical or refined dishes and almost everything strictly gluten-free, if desired, including excellent pizzas. Indoor and outdoor tables... I highly recommend.. for a quiet evening, event or other..

Nico Martino

Excellent pizza both normal and gluten-free, light and full of flavor. Very friendly and nice staff, homely and convivial atmosphere. Highly recommended!

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.

Giancarlo Badagliacca

Very good pizza, not a very big place, in my opinion it's better to book... Excellent gluten-free pizza

Federica M.

great experience, Simone very kind and friendly. Quality food, even the gluten-free pizza was great!

Ju (Istar)

A very good restaurant visited in June. Gluten-free option available 🤩

Marcin Michalik

Delicious food. Shaved clean. Served quickly. Very good prices, cheaper than in many pubs in Poland. Nice atmosphere. Good air conditioning. Gluten free pizza is a hit! You have to be a real malcontent to give less than 5 stars.

Claudia Tomassini

Unfortunately mine cannot be a good review given that we only went to this place because they are part of the certified gluten-free places. Even though I had declared several times that I was celiac, I was given normal bread. And since I had doubts I asked for confirmation that the bread was suitable and was told that I could eat it, only to discover that it was not suitable. I find this superficial attitude very serious given that for me it is not a whim but a question of health! Furthermore, perhaps the AIC should monitor the certified premises a little more. Obviously an experience to forget.

Giulia Veneziano

Gluten-free pizza available but without separate oven (not suitable for celiacs).

Elizabeth Cleveland

Aura Leticia Abrescia

We have a pleasant evening. Gluten-free fried food is very good, although we expected more. Pizzas are average. Very friendly staff.

Alessandro Lori

Fantastic, gluten free and with

Simona Saracino

The Cin Cin Bar is the perfect place to enjoy an excellent breakfast, delicious ice cream, cocktails and fantastic aperitifs, including gluten free ones. Clean, super welcoming and friendly environment, the owner, Gianluca, is always present and attentive to customer needs, making sure that every visit is a pleasant experience. An excellent choice for a tasty break near the sea, in any season!

Adolfo Cooper

Rocco Enrique De Vincenzo

Very suggestive location surrounded by ancient stone vaults with relaxing colors. The service is serious, precise and TIMELY considering that we sat down on a Saturday late in the evening. Knowledgeable and friendly guys, the vast open cellar was enchanting and the particular attention paid to the choice of wine was appreciated. Very good food, alternative menu. Prices perfectly in line with everything. Availability of GLUTEN-FREE AIC 2025 certificate for all dishes offered on the menu except Gyoza.

Monica Campi

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

Gianna Pinto

Truly excellent gluten and lactose free pizza!!! Congratulations 👍

Ilaria Di Cosola

Highly recommended place for celiacs and gluten intolerants. They have been part of the AIC since 2021. Maximum attention to contamination. Gluten-free pizza with dough prepared by them. Really good.

Simonetta

Excellent ice cream, even gluten-free! A wonderful discovery in the center of Ostuni at the foot of a truly characteristic staircase. Artisan ice cream, various flavors and a free gluten-free cone! We enjoyed the ice cream sitting comfortably at one of their outdoor tables. Very friendly service. Prices are normal.

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 arrive but the man who is supposed to take orders stops to talk to two customers for a long time about the history of the place, so after 10 minutes I go to the cashier and ask if someone else can come and take the order. I order a gluten-free Sicilian, thinking that a pizza with anchovies would arrive (I didn't read the menu because in all of Italy the Sicilian has anchovies) instead I get a white pizza with a pistachio pesto, therefore sweet, the mortadella, therefore sweet, which I don't know what it has to do with Sicily, and the burrata, therefore sweet and also has nothing to do with Sicily. My mistake, I didn't read the menu but they didn't even dream of asking if I wanted to change it. The whole thing, if you can make this combination worse, was raw. The pizza underneath, in the center smelled of raw dough. A great shame, I used to go to this pizzeria, and I was happy until last year, for the "gluten-free" but I will have to change destinations. Not recommended!!!!

I am fond of the couple who have opened this restaurant, having had many wonderful experiences in the well established restaurant they previously ran, entirely down to the care they took and their obvious delight in giving customers a delightful experience. I always felt welcome and at home. So I had to come to il Rosone. I've been twice now. The first time, back in January, my friend and I were slightly surprised at the lack of engagement of our waiter, a charming looking very young man. It constantly appeared that he was in a hurry because he had far more important things to do. The owner passed by and was very friendly, had a few words on the phone with my son, who'd usually accompanied me previously. I guessed the flaky waiter was still being trained. I went for the second time a few days ago, on the last evening of my stay. I was alone and of course was placed in a small table next to the entrance, which became uncomfortable because the air conditioner was blowing onto my shoulder. There were several young male waiters (please don't imagine I have anything against young males per se, I don't). They all look like they've been cast in a movie about the slightly bored wealthy. They all did a pretty good job of almost completely ignoring me, a couple of em asked if I wanted to order but didn't come back. One found out that I was gluten sensitive and didn't come back. They seemed to be more active around tables with wine (I was driving so no) and the solo tall young blonde, who was allocated a much more comfortable spot to sit (there was plenty of space free by the way). The one person who actually paid attention was a woman who may be maitre d. She actually asked how I was, if I was being served, and told one of the young guys to serve me. When eventually my food arrived it was she who, hearing (can't remember why) that I was gluten sensitive, told me the peppers were fried in breadcrumbs. So the waiter who'd known I was g-s hadn't thought it important enough to remember to tell anyone else. I got the dish reprepared without breadcrumbs. The food's good though not cheap. But it was honestly spoiled by the fact that I struggled not to feel unwelcome and in some unidentified way inferior. I couldn't help thinking, for the first time in my life, that it was the penalty for being a woman over 50 eating alone. Unfortunate because I was in Locorotondo to complete the sale of a house I still love, and so not at my most cheerful. I may go again if it's with my son, but I dunno. I know other places where Italian hospitality shines.

Maria Giovanna Gugliotta

Highly recommended especially for celiacs. They have a wide selection even for those who have to eat gluten-free, but from starters to dessert. Efficient and kind service. We will be back very willingly!

Claudia Greppi

Dinner in the historic center. Super service, the Manager was competent, kind and helpful. We took two main courses, gluten free orecchiette with gluten free sandwich (no supplement). Two glasses of wine and booking with The Fork there was a 20% discount.
