Excellent option for those who are lactose and gluten intolerant. We ordered a chocolate cake with strawberries, and in addition to the beautiful decoration, the flavor was excellent!
The service was super attentive and willing to help with delivery times, flavors and available options.
I highly recommend it, the cake was a big hit with the guests!
Terrible experience. I ordered the sandwich through Ifood, which contacted the store that confirmed the order. Two hours later I received the information that the store was CLOSED. Total disrespect to the customer. The life of a celiac is already difficult and those who claim to serve this segment still do this disservice. Regrettable.
I'm celiac and since I discovered Pra Além de Bom, I've been happier.
I love the tarts, the strawberry, apple and pear ones are my favorites, I order them every week.
I recently tried the lemon cake, it's perfect, soft, and moistens Dinho just right, perfect!!!!
I loved that they're selling slices so we can try the flavors of the cakes before ordering the whole one.
The honey and spice cake is also perfect. I didn't like the topping of the carrot cake very much, but the dough itself is delicious too.
I highly recommend it, quality ingredients, tasty food and best of all, it's safe for celiacs.
Guys
My Friday ritual is to order my gluten-free pizza. This place is AMAZING! Everything is perfect: dough, filling, crust. I highly recommend the chicken and catupiry cheese pizza and the buffalo margherita! WITH CHICKPEA CRUST and catupiry crust. CRAZY
I loved having gluten-free pizza options that can be baked in a separate oven from the others, which is already incredible. Then I look at the menu and everything is clearly explained, even the gluten-free desserts. I loved it!
Oh, and for those who are vegan, everything is clearly explained on the menu too!
One of the best cafés in São Paulo.
mainly because its sweet and savory options are gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free and very tasty.
It's worth a try!
Very good pizza. I have celiac disease and I approve of the quality and flavor. I usually order a lot from Vila Madalena and I get very good service. I have been receiving bad service from the Vila Clementino branch, where I have been a customer since 2018. In addition to delivering the wrong pizza, they exchanged it (I returned the pizza) and the correct one came very poorly made, without any care and with little toppings. There was no apology and they do not respond to WhatsApp messages either.
They advertise everywhere as GLUTEN FREE, but in reality they only use wheat flour. A restaurant of this size and price cannot use this advertising if there is a risk of cross-contamination with gluten! It is too expensive and hyped to have no guarantee of contamination safety. I am sure that the nutrition team will understand this criticism very well and how essential it is for the marketing team to be in tune with this since this also concerns safety. IT IS NOT CASA RAW VEGAN GLUTEN FREE. IT IS CASA RAW VEGAN WITHOUT WHEAT FLOUR. Gluten is a molecule and it is completely nonsensical to advertise it this way and not be. It would be like writing "no shrimp" and having "only the risk of a shrimp broth". People with allergies and celiac disease RUN AWAY. Anyway... it is nonsensical that this is part of the main advertising.
I was there today and loved the menu, the number of options and the service! I went with my boyfriend who is celiac, I am not and even so it did not disappoint in any way, the pizza was well served and very tasty, the mini-churros were also very tasty.
I would like to highlight the great service of the attendant who works at the checkout and also when delivering the dishes, unfortunately I do not know her name, but we went in the evening and she was there.
The atmosphere is calm and clean, it is suitable for all types of groups from friends, couples and large families.
Success!
The place is lovely. There are a variety of delicious options for those with gluten and lactose restrictions. We bought several products from the shop, including French bread and frozen cheese bread. At the café in the outdoor area, we tried the grilled bread and the cheese bread, which didn't even taste like it didn't have cheese. I highly recommend it. Just be prepared to pay, because everything is salty.

I bought a gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free cake for my 2-year-old daughter's birthday and was very disappointed. The finishing was poorly done, without the care expected for a celebration cake. In addition, the texture was extremely floury, with a sandy sensation in my mouth. It felt like I was eating dirt — which usually happens when there is too much rice flour in gluten-free preparations. For a 1.5 kg cake that cost almost R$500, I expected much more. Unfortunately, I do not recommend it.
They are not gluten-free! They are not suitable for celiacs, so don't waste your time if you can't eat gluten.
I hope that one day the restaurant will actually consider itself gluten-free and make the information about cross-contamination clearer.
Symbolic note: I didn't eat anything to be able to evaluate.
I love Verita's options, they always save me when I travel or at work when I can't have lunch, as I am celiac and there are almost no healthy, tasty and safe options for my dietary restrictions.
The best pizza I've ever eaten, I'm gluten intolerant, the pizza doesn't even look like it's gluten free, it has several types of dough, one tastier than the other! And to top it off, great service.

My daughter and I are gluten sensitive and everything I buy from this bakery is a huge hit here at home!
I'm also a nutritionist and I recommend it to my patients with all my heart! Everyone loves it!

The snacks are very tasty, I loved the closed esfihas, but I can't bear to pay those exorbitant prices again for a small amount for the price.
We already know that gluten-free food is more expensive, but having to pay 70 reais to eat two esfihas (which come frozen, on top of that) makes me even angrier about being celiac hahaha. Even more so after I got to know other places where the prices are lower, so I can eat more different things.
Basically, it's not cost-effective, but if you have the money and the will to buy it, go ahead, you'll enjoy it.
We like this place so much, I don't even like going there because I'm tempted to eat too much. Everything is delicious, the French bread is exactly the same, and the Parmesan... ahhh, I'm here evaluating it with my mouth watering. They don't open on weekends, but they deliver via Ifood or via WhatsApp. The service is 1000000. 100% safe for celiacs.

I'm not yet very used to the gluten-free world, but I missed the flavor in the dishes and I found the price a little higher than expected. Still, it's a good option for those who need to follow a gluten-free diet.
On my first visit, I received excellent service from an employee whose name I unfortunately don't remember. On my second visit, I had other employees and the service was mediocre, and I had to go to the counter to get the menu and place my order.
The place is very comfortable, despite being small, and beautiful.
The food is tasty and within the gluten-free price range. However, I missed more savory options (only cheese bread and chicken coxinha).
The tapioca was great, the waitress was friendly, for a gluten free meal it was quite satisfactory. The only thing I missed was chairs in the restaurant itself.
Today I went to Rice for the first time, and as a celiac, I must say it was a very good experience.
I got a dish on sale for 51.90. It came with risotto, fries, a steak and a lemonade.
The food was very tasty, and the portions were good.
