Top 50 Lunch locations in Province of Lecce

Elisa Vetrugno

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

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

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!

Martina Samorì

Great place also for my celiac son

Agostino De luca

Excellent pizza especially great for celiacs

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!

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.

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. ❤️

Roberta Allegro

Excellent gluten-free pizza too. Attentive and courteous service. Advised

Maria De Benedetto

Very nice place and service that met expectations. The food was very good and above all fresh. There is also a menu for celiacs

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

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.

Lorraine Edwards

Ordered gluten free pizza. Best ever! You have to try it.

stefano puzzello

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

Marina Filice

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).

maurizio benini

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!

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...

Franco Bucciarelli

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 ;).

Proffy73

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

Vincenzo Grasso

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

Danila Bottalico

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.

Charlie Ward

Great place to eat. Catered for gluten free. Quite pricey.

Dario Boccardo

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

Marianna Cerutti

Six of us had dinner, one of us was gluten and lactose intolerant Truly impeccable attention Presence of gluten-free bread/pasta and desserts We ate very well Impeccable service

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

Ilona Denissen

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!

Brizio Leonardo Corliano

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!!

Valentina D‘Immé

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

Ju (Istar)

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.

Paolo Basco

Excellent food cooked really well. The products are quality. The only flaw is the gluten-free: it is listed among the restaurants where you can eat gluten-free, but in the end they only prepare pasta (two sizes). No appetizers and main courses. And those who go to dinner would like to be able to taste something more!

pamela ameduri

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.

angelo farris

Friendly, helpful and prepared staff. Excellent Gluten Free food. Good prices Advise

Marika De Santis

Last night we celebrated a graduation in this restaurant. Therefore, the appetizers were full of onion and garlic and were not appreciated by our guests; if it had been specified that the appetizers would contain a myriad of onion and garlic we could have agreed on something better and certainly more appreciated. Furthermore, we told the waiter during the estimate that we were afraid that a type of pasta would be too heavy in taste for the guests, he reassured us that the flavor would be delicate, which our guests also didn't like. From the estimate we had agreed that they would go through the baking dishes for a second round and that didn't happen. The second round of pasta would have been appreciated because, as I said before, one type of pasta was not liked so our guests would have appreciated receiving perhaps a second course of the first pasta which was very good. Nothing to take away from the second course, even if the chicken was perhaps a little too tough. When we arrived between the first and second courses, they removed the plate from which one of our friends was eating, this action was not appreciated at all. Furthermore, a girl with celiac disease and lactose intolerant received the sorbet with lactose, initially told it was lactose-free. Luckily the girl insisted because it seemed strange to her that there was no milk in the sorbet. All in all, the location was very appreciated and fresh. Too bad about the food because if it had been good it would have been perfect. EDIT to the owner's response: since I only received a response regarding the dishes I didn't like, do we want to talk about the fact that you delivered a dish with lactose? To err is human, but not at this level because people can feel bad about these mistakes. Too bad, that as you say, a diner must be able to explain the dishes and the ingredients that make up the dish. Even just for politeness, plates are not removed in front of people when they are still eating. However, the guests thank everyone for the compliment.

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

Anna Lucia Vergallo

Really excellent gluten-free pizza, not to mention the frittini and everything else they do. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Claudia Magnolo

Exceptional farmhouse near Otranto. The place is enchanting, surrounded by olive trees and excellent dishes, the best raw meat I've ever eaten (and it was just the appetizer!), generous portions without losing quality. The staff is very kind, present but never intrusive, professional and friendly. Great attention to gluten-free for me as I have celiac disease, with the possibility of gluten-free first courses too.

Riccardo Scommegna

In the historic center of Gallipoli, among the crowded alleys, Rosinella was an oasis of peace: air-conditioned room, very fresh fish, traditional cuisine and delicious gluten-free options. The friendliness of the staff is the setting for this high quality venue. Highly recommended!

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!

Giovanna Verdicchia

If you are looking for a classic farmhouse where you can eat typical Salento dishes, this is the right place. You truly immerse yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by. It feels like being in the old houses of the Salento grandparents: the tomatoes hanging to dry, the typical terracotta vases, even the fireplace and all the furnishing details contribute to this sensation. The low lights give intimacy and make everything very romantic. The mixed starters are one better than the other, the sagne ncannulate and the horse meatballs are recommended. We accompanied the dinner with excellent rosé susumaniello. They also had gluten free alternatives. We were enchanted by the place and the courtesy. We will definitely be back.

susanna laratta

Excellent food, with many naturally gluten-free options, excellent service and a welcoming place. We will definitely be back 🥂

Sarada

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

Fabio Dagostino

Nice place to stay in peace and eat food, high-quality staff and then the room manager Miriam, super kind and very easy going, very good at recommending foods for celiacs too. From the cash register to the bar coffee and bitters offered by them and I will definitely return next time. Always like this, an immense pleasure, the driver from central Italy says goodbye.

Valentina Gaetani

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

Massimiliano Pellegrino

Compliments to the pizza chef, excellent dough. Also satisfied for having found gluten-free pizza

Sabrina Albertin

Gluten-free pizza arrived together with the others, and undoubtedly among the best I've ever eaten.
