I love this Italian restaurant :) Gluten-free pasta and pizza. And in very tasty varieties. The pasta and dough bases are also available for takeaway. The service is very friendly, and overall, you feel very comfortable there. We always enjoy coming back :)
I tried contacting the pizzeria twice (once by email, once via Facebook), unfortunately without success. Here's my experience:
I visited the pizzeria on Saturday, May 3rd, at noon for my birthday with my family (3 adults, 2 children). Since I have celiac disease myself, I called that morning to inquire about the issue of gluten. The manager made me feel comfortable and reassured, so I ordered a gluten-free Hawaiian pizza on the spot.
Before ordering, we emphasized the need for gluten-free pizza.
The pizza was very tasty.
However, in the evening and throughout the night, I experienced severe nausea and vomiting. Overall, I had severe nausea and vomiting for a week and symptoms of the gluten accident for over 1.5 weeks. Something like this has never happened to me before, and I've never felt so bad. Not at other restaurants in/around Hanover, nor abroad, nor on our various trips. I have officially been affected by celiac disease for exactly 10 years now. My birthday party went accordingly.
I would like to use this opportunity to point out the problem so that I can review your gluten-free offerings and go through the individual steps in more detail. This will prevent future guests with celiac disease/an intolerance from having to experience the same suffering.
I personally cannot recommend the restaurant, at least not for people with an intolerance or even celiac disease.
POSTSCRIPT:
As mentioned, I tried to contact you in writing in advance via two different channels (via email and via Facebook) to share my negative experiences and inform you about them, so that I could review the procedures again! I find it questionable that this had to be done by phone.
My attempts to contact you were unsuccessful!
We were all in good health. All four other guests had no problems after eating (no other celiacs). So it couldn't have been the food itself. It was definitely a severe gluten incident. It is very questionable that this is not being treated this way or is being played down here now!
We went there without a reservation and still got a seat. It's definitely better to make a reservation, especially on weekends. The food was excellent. Gluten-free options are safe and easy, and the staff are knowledgeable. I had no problems afterward.
Managerin erzählte mir, dass sie selber zwar keine Zöliakie hat, aber eine Glutenunverträglichkeit und denkt deswegen immer mit, um Kreuzkontamination zu vermeiden. Für gf-Waffeln gibt’s eine eigene Waffeleisen und für Crepes wird vorher sorgfältig abgewaschen.
American Pancakes aus Hafermehl sahen zwar nicht so lecker aus wie die aus Weizenmehl, waren aber trotzdem sehr lecker.
Tolle Bedienung, leckeres Essen, großes Auswahl - juhuu!
I wasn't entirely convinced last year; I went there because of the gluten-free dishes for my adult daughter.
This year, however, the delicious, home-style cooking was fantastic, whether it was fish or a schnitzel for the grandchildren, everything was delicious.
The service was quick, friendly, and helpful. With all the stair climbing, they climb the Zugspitze almost every day 😉 So, keep up the good work, we'd love to come back.

We rarely order pizza; the quality and taste at Smiley's, Dominos and the like is often quite questionable. We came across Illyricum because there is a gluten-free version on offer. All pizzas tasted very good, the menu was clear and the ordering and payment process was simple.
Thank you very much, we will order pizza more often now.
Very friendly staff, the breakfast is always nice and even gluten-free - especially recommended for outdoor areas and people who give chickens some space are also the right ones.
There's nothing to complain about. The offer of gluten-free pizza is very good, even if the four euro surcharge is quite steep. But no matter, only very few offer that 😄
Rarely have I had such good fries... I think it's great that you can choose the seasoning of the fries yourself... everything is gluten-free, for people with Zolliakie disease and of course absolutely recommended for everyone else... the staff are also very friendly and accommodating ....we'll be back
An absolute highlight! The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of Italian dishes - everything from pizza to pasta to delicious meat dishes. The menu is varied and always has surprises in store. Of particular note are the gluten-free options for pasta and pizza, which are absolutely delicious and taste really great! The changing specialties and seasonal offers always ensure new taste experiences.
The atmosphere is wonderfully cozy and the staff are always friendly and attentive. I always enjoy coming here and have never been disappointed. Totally recommended for anyone who appreciates good Italian food!
Celiac friendly
