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, thoughâI'm just disappointed with the pasta đ. I'm definitely curious about the sandwiches!
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 sheâs ever had and the traditional pasta was superb.
Outstanding.
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. â€ïž
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
Wow!! The pizza here is some of the best we have had in Italy (and that is a lot đ€). 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 pizzaâs, and they had quite a few options.
If you are vegetarian, I would only recommend to stick with the vegetarian pizzaâs. 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 :)
SO MUCH QUALITY.
Among so much variety of choice I tasted Pittule, Cocule, CrocchĂš 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.
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).
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!
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 ;).
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.

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.
Possibility to eat gluten-free and feel welcomed and pampered! Excellent products and relaxing environment! A picnic in the enchanted forest. Great advice!
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!
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.
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
What service and delicious food! I had a delicious (gluten-free) meal here a number of times last week! Even got a gluten-free dessert to try, it was delicious! Thank you Valentina for the delicious food and good service! If I'm in the area I will definitely come back!
Fantastic discovery! A stone's throw from home, having the possibility to choose between fish, meat or pizza, first or second courses and (essential for me having a celiac wife and daughter) delicious gluten-free options, accompanied by generous portions and impeccable and "honest" service is something more unique than rare. For me it's now a certainty!!
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
The waiter made a mistake ordering gluten-free pasta. Catastrophic for our child who has celiac disease (poor knowledge of the subject, I think). And we were told that the pasta contains 1% gluten. We left without eating (and fortunately without paying) with our child having eaten his pasta after numerous warnings about our child's illness. I still thank the waiter for his honesty about the communication error with the kitchen; it could have been worse if my daughter had finished her plate. The restaurant seems very good, however.
My only photos speak! They talk about a territory, they talk about wonderful people, they talk about an excellent raw material.
We got purple prawns in salt, divine! Then from the catch of the day trolley a sea bream with crazy water accompanied in the sauce with mussels and clams, equally divine.
People come here for those who love fresh, very fresh fish and I would also add for very smart young guys who are able to take you on a carousel of flavors from which you would never want to get off.
I would add that they are also prepared for gluten-free. Chapau.
