Ferro e Fuoco In Galatone

30/11/2025: The pistachio pasta changed my life. I was here 3 months ago and I still dream of this pasta.

28/11/2025: We dined at Scarpetta Hostaria for the first time, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in Lecce. The restaurant is elegant but never formal, with attention to detail and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. One of the aspects that struck me most was the attention to gluten-free options: all the dishes served were completely gluten-free, from appetizers to main courses, without any restrictions. A truly rare plus, especially with dishes of this caliber. This was one of the few times I've even been served gluten-free bread so I could enjoy the house-made olive oil: a simple gesture that demonstrates care and sensitivity towards those with specific dietary needs. We followed the house's recommendations for warm dishes, a selection of appetizers that proved excellent: very fresh fish, light and crispy fried foods, and crisp, never overpowering flavors. The red snapper as a main course was the true star of the evening: perfectly cooked, soft and flavorful, with balanced garnishes. A dish alone is worth the visit. The service is impeccable: attentive, knowledgeable staff, always present but never intrusive. Each course is carefully explained, enhancing the experience and conveying all the passion behind the kitchen's work. The value for money is absolutely right considering the quality of the ingredients, the skill behind the dishes, and the overall experience. It's one of those places that leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to return, and in our case, we certainly will. A restaurant that combines tradition, flavor, and customer service, even when it comes to gluten-free options, without compromising on quality. Highly recommended for those seeking a high-quality, authentic dinner with attention to every detail.
