Located on the seafront, this is a very quaint and welcoming place. Fantastic food and a very extensive menu, featuring first courses, second courses, pizzas, and especially many traditional Apulian dishes. For us celiacs, it's heaven; they make their own pasta, delicious. The pizza, too, is homemade and incredibly good. I wanted to compliment the staff, especially the blonde woman, who was kind and very attentive to our gluten-free needs! The owner is a wonderful person!

Welcoming place, excellent service, and a friendly owner. They have a gluten-free option, and I highly recommend it. I'll be back to try the pizza. If you want pizza, let me know when you book. Overall, great.

A restaurant on the Otranto seafront, with outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended. The pizzas are delicious, including gluten-free options, and the staff are friendly.

Il Ghiottone – Otranto: Quality, Care, and Taste
If you're passing through Otranto, Il Ghiottone is a must. We ate wonderfully, from appetizers to dessert.
Cuisine: We shared everything at the center of the table—appetizers, first courses, and pizzas—and every course was impeccable. Excellent ingredients, rich flavors, and just the right portions. The pizza was light and well-leavened, and the first courses were prepared to perfection.
Attention to your needs: Two of us are celiac and vegetarian, and they felt truly taken care of here. A wide selection was available, and most importantly, no cross-contamination was guaranteed. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and reassuring. When intolerances are handled with this seriousness, it makes all the difference.
Service and Ambience: Friendly, fast, and professional staff. A welcoming place in the heart of Otranto, perfect for a dinner with friends.
Verdict: Taste, safety, and hospitality. It's hard to ask for more.
Highly recommended for those with specific dietary needs: at Il Ghiottone, everyone can eat, and they eat wonderfully.
Well done to all the staff, keep it up!

We stopped for lunch on the way from Brindisi to Casarano near Gallipoli. The weather was awful, with rain and a cool wind. The restaurant was practically empty at 1:00 PM, except for the two of us and a couple of French women. My orecchiette with tomato sauce and sausage were excellent, and my wife had seafood pasta. Then grilled vegetables for me and mixed salad for her. Beer for me and water for her. Dessert for her was the zeppola di San Giuseppe, which was very good. Bill?? 60 euros, but we were satisfied with our lunch and ready to head back south.
