Zona Franca In Galatina

05/01/2025: We found ourselves in this place, brought by friends. A slightly fancier trattoria/tavern with well-laid candlelit tables. The place is family run. We were carried away by the cheerfulness of the restaurateur, who advised us whether we wanted to eat land or sea and as good people from Salento we answered both. Course after course of starters only and after two minutes we had lost count of how many dishes were on the table (photos will follow). Then we continued who between a first course and bitter fried food and coffee and courses of desserts and to finish we were also delighted with a regenerating lemon 🍋 sorbet. The bill was a surprise. I can only tell you that we were under thirty euros per person. The size of the first courses was crazy, three of them could practically eat. Fast and local service located on two floors. Let's say the only flaw is a small elevator that they use to transport supplies which made a lot of noise for a few seconds when it was activated, I think due to some malfunction. But nothing too catastrophic. We had with us a little girl with celiac disease who was treated very well by the owner where she was advised on what to touch and what to avoid and subsequently the dish cooked especially for her was not the usual pasta with sauce, which many restaurateurs present. However, in my opinion, you should still make a reservation to secure your place... Polite and friendly staff. Highly recommended, I can only say continue to follow me on my travels, for other delicious places.
