This was an outstanding way to start our day. Everything is gluten free, from pastries to bread. We enjoyed cappuccinos, breakfast pastries, and took sandwiches to go. I would come back again and again!!
We had dinner at La Cantina and the service was great. We were offered prosecco, bread, and a dessert to share. The pizzas we ordered were very good. Nice family restaurant and great experience. Great options for people who can't eat gluten.
The bakery has a seperate case for gluten free items- some pastries and mini sandwiches. I got 2 pastries and they asked if I would like any filling: you can get it plain, chocolate, pistachio, jam, etc. I got one chocolate and one pistachio. Both were delicious! Limited table space but I didn't have to wait too long for a seat.

We ate there four times in one week. Delicious gluten-free pizzas. Excellent service, attentive and kind. Some staff members have disabilities, but their energy is impressive.
I highly recommend it.
Waiter Daniele Panini super kind and helpful, really an excellent welcome.
Unfortunately the rating on the food was significantly lower, gluten-free pizza not cooked and rubbery, not spread well. Left almost all on the plate. Asked for cooking again but it came back still raw.
The normal pizza was not bad.
Congratulations again to Daniele though!

After months of a gluten and lactose free diet I managed to eat two sheets of exceptional cream and cream and apple... I couldn't help myself from eating the second one.
It is a beautiful, clean, tidy place with attention to detail....thanks to all the staff.

Gluten-free and lactose-free dessert to celebrate 50 years, aesthetically beautiful and no less tasteful. Truly recommended, the trip from Bagno to Ripoli deserved the result and the guests were super satisfied with the flavor.
It's always an excellent point of reference where you can have a delicious breakfast, or an excellent brunch or an excellent lunch!!
Beautiful environment, beautiful external courtyard!!
Super generous servings with excellent ingredients.
They are also particularly attentive to vegan and gluten-free dishes!!! :)
The centrifuges are also very good!!!
It's not the first time we've been there, we will definitely be back.
Booking recommended!!
Good prices!!
Maybe it's in my city, but the location is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen around the world. The food is good for the standard of type and even we celiacs are welcome. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. Prices normal for HardRock.
Very small wine bar which offers cuisine with many vegan and gluten-free options, the welcome is warm, the food good and the wines recommended to us were delicious. Very nice to find a small, less touristy place in the historic center of Florence, I recommend if you are sensitive to this kind of atmosphere!
Pressed there daily! I had a sandwich that had too much sauce on it - while the sandwich was fresh and delicious too much oily sauce made feel a bit nauseous. The fresh green refreshing juice fixed it for me. They also have small vegan bites with no sugar, gluten, and refined sugar. Totally worthy spot if you’re trying to cut down on calories or just looking for something healthy and light.
Very busy! The people have found the best places again…. All vegan and gluten free. Employees all working very hard and despite the long wait, everyone was happy and enjoying themselves. We ordered the ocean bowl and it was better than we are used to in Los Angeles. But smaller than LA portions
We've been back a couple of times recently, and Zocchi never disappoints. Stunning view while eating excellent food, many gluten-free options too, from appetizers to dessert.
We are always happy to come back!
A great Italian restaurant with indoor as well as a beautiful outdoor patio for seating!! The staff were very friendly and helpful! I told them I had celiac and they told me that they could make GF pasta for me and showed me which sauces I could choose from. I ended up getting Paccheri Cacio e Pepe which is a cheese and black pepper sauce.
Normal sandwiches have a tourist price. I came because they had gluten-free bread but the price was too expensive for two mini sandwiches with supermarket bread. If you go for gluten-free, nothing recommended :(

Excellent place outside the center for a coffee break or for a brunch if you want to escape the chaos of the city.
Friendly waiters and speak English very well.
Prices quite high, but the quality of the food was good.
There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Fast service times even though the place was full.
IMPORTANT: they don't take reservations so you have to go by chance and sometimes wait your turn. The place is quite small, but welcoming.
The only sore point, at the end of our brunch, since there is a need to "repay", they brought the bill to the table as an invitation to hurry up and leave...
my favorite restaurant in florence! i have continuously returned to this place because of the AMAZING food and lovely staff :) fantastic gluten free options, great atmosphere, and friendliest staff! would absolutely recommend
Place offering various gluten-free desserts (e.g. cupcakes, brownies, lemon cakes, apple pies). Furthermore, both crepes and waffles can be gluten free. Also appreciate the wide selection of herbal teas.
Read online that they had gluten free croissants, but it's not worth the detour if you ask me. The croissants were very dry and not tasteful. My parents - who do eat gluten - had a great breakfast though. Nice staff and plenty of choice (if you eat gluten).
For me it is simply the best coffee in Florence. The blend of beans it uses is delicious, whether taken as an espresso or as a cappuccino.
There are various offers regarding food, including vegan and gluten-free things, beyond simple pasta!
Thanks Manly!!!
Perfect lunch - amazing service and something for everyone… gluten free dishes for the coeliac; salmon and avocado poke bowl for dad, burger and fries for the boys and salami platter for the girl who’s always hungry but never wants to eat anything… and beers and Aperol spritz. Very happy family.
Gluten-free sandwich top marks! Really flaky bread and really tasty ingredients. If you are looking for a good gluten-free sandwich in the Florence South area, this is really for you!
Local in Largo Pietro Annigoni, Sant'Ambrogio area, which is characterized by its industrial-chic style furnishings; the exposed air-conditioned cellar is beautiful..
Their specialty are burgers, large and very appetizing with artisanal buns (classic with sesame, multigrain, charcoal black and gluten-free) and always served accompanied by chips, available in 4 versions (chips, sticks, roast or sweet potato).
Given the conditions, I was rather disappointed when I bit into my "Fuori di Cheese", believing it to be much richer in creamy melted cheese, given the name, while what distinguished it from the others ordered was a simple slice of cheese placed on top of the sandwich.
Honestly, I wasn't even convinced by the medium-cooked hamburger, too high for my taste and without the slightest presence of the Maillard reaction on the surface; the water that drips onto the plate with each bite also makes me doubt the quality of the meat, which is rather bland.
Tasting the dishes of the other diners, I perceived every proposal on the menu as intriguing to read, beautiful to look at but disappointing in content; even when sipping the Caffè Macchiato with Salted Caramel, the latter unfortunately can only be perceived by cleaning the bottom of the cup. The only dish I liked was the N.Y. Cheesecake. Style, a simple raw version with berry sauce; positive note that the topping is artisanal.
Average prices, except for the burgers which I consider extremely expensive given the product offered.
Captivating place for the furnishings, large outdoor space available with tables where you can eat; perhaps to be reevaluated by trying their Cocktails.
“This place is simply lovely – the perfect way to start the day!”
It instantly lifted my mood and made my morning feel special. The staff are incredibly friendly – even as a solo traveler, I felt completely at ease and welcomed. ❤️
I had the shakshuka with extra avocado, gluten-free bread, and a cappuccino with almond milk. Everything was absolutely delicious! ☺️
What a great gem! The new owner is cool, the dishes are tasty and well priced and the whole experience feels like you’re dining with the locals. Plus they had 7 types of gluten-free deserts 🥰👌 because after great food, you’d want a proper sweet. Make sure to try the cheesecake!
We were 9 and we had an incredible time on the rooftop for a Sunday lunch. The awesome Eleonora helped us in everything and there was much attention for a friend of us who eats just gluten and lactose free.
Terrible experience ruined by rude and incorrect service. The reason: I received the wrong dish, I pointed it out and the waiter (also the owner) insistently replied that he had understood another dish, that it would take a long time to remake a new one and that I basically had to eat that one. Already very annoyed by the answer, I agreed to eat that one and not have the dish remade, only to see the waiter come back a few minutes later to tell me that he was having the new dish made in the kitchen and that we could keep the one we had. Conclusion: he made us pay for both dishes and while I complained, he pretended nothing had happened and slipped away around the place, leaving his young waitress to make us pay the bill. In addition, he was not very adequate for the entire service with his "advice" and jokes.
In addition, he served us expired bottled iced teas and even the various sauces were in expired containers.
Plus plus plus, the price of the desserts is exorbitant, not like a luxury place. €8.50 for a gluten-free cake that I swear was half the size of a normal portion, practically a chocolate. Total cost €48 per person for 3 gyoza (in number), a ramen and a dessert each. Everyone speechless, a truly awful experience.
This is perhaps the best coffeeshop and bakery experience you can have in Florence. Professional espresso drinks with amazing milk frothing skills (rare in Italy :) ). Fresh Scandinavian-italian selection of bakery items. We got amazing cortados, with oat milk, a cardamom knot and a tasty gluten free banana bread
I love you immensely, it's the fourth time I've come and I eat better and better... they are friendly and very attentive to customer requests/allergens, delicious gluten-free menu and very good drinks! Super!!!!
