"We arrived early and found who I believe to be the manager having a pre service smoke outside. She was very friendly when it was clear that we were interested in the restaurant, which was recommended to us by our Masseria host. She spoke very good English and invited us in to view the menu (she also gave us English menus . We made it clear that my wife has celiac and can't eat gluten, and she said this was not a problem at all and that both pizza and pasta can be made gluten free. We decided to stay, based on that quality of service. Each table had 8 9 olive oils, which was wonderful because we didn't have time to do a proper tasting yet, however, I was brought bread and she was not. Our host rectified this immediately, seeing that she would miss out, and had the chef prepare some gluten free bread on the spot(! . We enjoyed tasting the different oils, each with our own bread, and my wife then ordered a gluten free pasta that wasn't even on the menu but that the chef was making special that night from fresh caught crustaceans and sea urchins. I had the Bitonto traditional codfish. Both were excellently prepared and presented (though still very hot when they reached the table! To start, we also had the octopus cooked in sauce and the Umbrian egg both cooked perfectly. It was a little expensive, but we enjoyed the food very much and as this was our honeymoon, we were willing to splurge a little. Had the prices been slightly lower, we would have had more courses."
