This place is a heaven for anyone with a celiac/lactose/dairy intolerance. The food tastes so good that for a second you doubt if it really is gluten and dairy free! absolutely loved it. ❤️
The best gluten-free croissant I've ever eaten: tasty, light and crumbly. The laboratory is super stocked with sweet and savory dishes: from cakes, brioches and biscuits to pizzas and focaccias, all at excellent prices. I absolutely recommend it!!
I took my coeliac partner here and we were completely blown away by the amazing food that we had! From arancini to croissants, everything was delicious. My partner had never had such a range of pastries to choose from that he decided to try everything available. It was all fantastic and the staff were lovely. If you are in Milan please go and try this bakery out!
We returned to this restaurant to celebrate the birthday of a celiac friend of mine, where we had already been in the past.
Unfortunately, compared to the previous time, the service has definitely gotten worse.
The location is nice overall, with the terrace definitely more pleasant than the interior, which is a bit dated.
The service, however, left a lot to be desired: if it hadn't been for one or two more attentive and professional waiters, the experience would have been even more disappointing.
The waitress who served us made several mistakes in the order, forgetting the wine and, even more seriously, bringing a dish containing gluten to the table even though we had clearly indicated the need for gluten-free dishes.
Fortunately, knowing the place, we knew that gluten-free dishes are served on plates of a different color, otherwise it would have been a serious problem.
Another negative aspect was the way in which the dishes were collected: they were taken away from us while we were still chewing the last bite, which gave a sense of haste and little attention to the customer experience.
About the food, nothing to say: we ate well.
In our experience, the waiting staff needs more thorough training, especially when it comes to managing special dietary needs.
I had a really good breakfast here. There are both sweet and savoury options, all gluten-free. I also managed to take home a chocolate panettone. It was delicious!
The place is absolutely not suitable for celiacs and gluten intolerant people.
Contacted by email, before attending a birthday party, they say they have a gluten-free offer.
Once there, we discover that the gluten-free offer is slices of salami and half a mini burger.
I took food elsewhere to allow my son to have dinner as well as the other participants.
No place is obliged to offer gluten-free options, but it is enough to say it clearly, celiacs find little/nothing here.
Unavailable and annoying staff.
Place discovered by chance. Friendly and competent staff, fast service, excellent dishes and quality raw materials.
Certainly, not the usual brunch but innovative ideas, dishes designed with attention to detail.
A special note goes to the desserts (delicious, lots of them and with vegan and gluten-free offerings)!
Well done guys!
I came to Ofelè for a lunch that was different from the usual. I ordered some savory pancakes with oat milk that were really excellent (too bad for the very unripe avocado that was tasteless..) and a vegan French toast that was instead impeccable!! Overall the proposals are varied (I give a lot of credit for the various vegan and gluten free options) and all equally tasty. The only flaw in our experience was the wait, waiting more than 40 minutes for pancakes seemed excessive to us... but it happens to have slow days. I will return again ☺️
Excellent restaurant with very friendly staff. Traditional Milanese dishes wonderfully interpreted in a modern key. Beautiful outdoor area. Respectful of celiacs.
Not a positive experience.
I ask for gluten-free bread (which is on the menu) and I receive two sandwiches (I wouldn't call them toast) both made up of a slice of toast-type bread and the initial and final slice of sandwich bread, 1 cm high. They bring the 'sandwich' to the table with the 1cm slice already broken and it had absolutely not been grilled. The height makes it difficult to bite.
The presentation of the 'toast' was completely different from the photographic one of the menu.
I tell the waitress what I wrote and she replies '...I'm sorry but that's how it is', turns her back on me and goes away. She comes back after a few minutes and, very annoyed, puts the box for the doggy bag on the table next to me. I ate one out of two out of hunger, when I bit it I could only taste bread, zero sauce and little or no flavour.
A disappointment.
Nice for breakfast, they have gluten free bread. The location has a view to the Galleria and if you sit by the terrace you will be entertained, specially if you are by yourself. I didn’t like paying 8€ for ‘coperto’ but they are charging you for the location. Just be aware of this cost before booking.

Highly recommended, lovely staff and ideal atmosphere!
They have many gluten-free options!
Best place to have a snack in Central Station! They have lots of gluten free / vegan options, and it's not so common inside a train station. Highly recommended.
