We stopped for an aperitif made with artisanal Campari and an excellent tasting plate. Welcomed by the warmth of the place and the friendly staff, we then also ordered an excellent platter of cold cuts. The tavern is detail-oriented, inclusive and full of art. It is also possible to taste vegan and gluten-free dishes. Absolutely recommended!

Barbara Sancinito

As a celiac I found the pinsa very good and digestible. The gluten-free menu is really extensive. Even the gluten-free pinsa that my husband had was very good. Managers passionate about their work. To return.

Andrea Cenedese

We had lunch taking a smash Burger and a gluten-free pizza, all delicious Super credit for the gluten-free pizza as it is the best we have found in the various pizzerias we have tried, it tastes just like pizza!

Valentina Pinton

Beautiful place with a suggestive Etruscan cave where you can eat. All the dishes are very good: excellent mixed appetizer of cold cuts, cheeses and bruschetta. The first courses are also excellent: even the gluten-free one. The entire menu is also available in the gluten-free version. All the staff are very attentive and kind. Highly recommended.

Small place near the center of Perugia. Eat some delicious gluten-free savory and sweet crepes. Compliments to the guys who run it. We will gladly return

Very good gluten free pizza

85 euros for four first courses, a miserable appetizer and two desserts, it's really too much! Really slow and uncoordinated service. Linguine with artichokes overcooked and tasteless and also broken Ravioli with ricotta and spinach covered in butter Gluten-free bread brought to the table with a truly terrible flavor! Dessert quite anonymous in flavor

Lina D

Guys full of desire to do well. Very organized already from the reservation. Perfect welcome upon arrival, quick in taking orders, professional but with that empathy that puts you at ease and makes you feel welcome. Super tasty mixed gluten-free cutting board, thin gluten-free pizza, crumbly and succulent, it didn't seem gluten free. Excellent beer. The only negative note is that you are not in my city/region 😂😂😂😂 We will return whenever we are near Narni......obviously I recommend it.

Elisa Lago

Restaurant-pizzeria in the heart of Todi with a wonderful panoramic terrace. We had tagliatelle and pizza with truffle, both gluten-free: truly exceptional. The desserts are artisanal, we tried a cheesecake with berries and it was delicious. Kind staff, attentive to the needs of the customer and helpful. Adequate price. Highly recommended place!

Pierluigi Gentile

Both the normal and gluten-free pizzas are excellent, very kind guys.

Romina

Wonderful place. Everything completely gluten-free, many fresh products even lactose-free. Products made really well, so much so that you forget you're eating gluten-free. High quality and great flavor! Too bad we don't have a place like this close to home. If you're in the area don't hesitate to stop by. Recommended for celiacs and non-celiacs.

Simone Cannella

Excellent quality. Both the meat and the pinsa are very good. The desserts are also worth trying and very important, everything is also gluten-free. Highly recommended

Maria De Rito

I ate at Malandrino just today... actually I had been wanting to for a while but there had been no occasion. I was extremely satisfied. As a celiac I found a wide choice on the menu, from appetizers to dessert. A killer risotto...🥰❤️. We had lunch with an Australian friend who really appreciated the goodness of the dishes and the general atmosphere. Super kind service and customer care. In short... great Riccardo the extremely kind owner

Franco Pecchio

A dinner of local dishes with a reinterpretation without exaggerating. I appreciated the friendly, attentive but not invasive service. The possibility of having the majority of dishes in celiac mode without any problem and with the same timing as the other dishes. The desserts are excellent, the portions are not small and also the wine list with good local representation. Highly recommended

Francesca Maccarelli

We went out for dinner with friends and opted for the black cat because it has many gluten-free options. Generous portions, excellent value for money. All accompanied by excellent service, Thank you Cristina for making this experience even more special :)

Matthew Hatchman

Very Gluten Aware - majority of the menu is gluten free or can be modified.

beatrice ricciolini

Excellent food!! For me who am celiac it was a dream, and in the gluten free menu I also found vegan options, I didn't believe it! The place is very nice and allow me to give an honorable mention to Carmine and Alessio, who served us with precision and kindness. Highly recommended

Giuseppe Montesanto

Impeccable service, welcoming location, elegant but not pretentious, excellent dishes at honest prices. Almost everything is also available gluten-free (dishes in the photo are all gluten-free).

I went on Saturday night for dinner with my family at the suggestion of a colleague. This pizzeria had been recommended to me in particular for the goodness of its gluten-free pizza (we have 2 celiacs in the family). In general, I must say that I was quite pleasantly surprised: small but nice place, good choice of dishes, commendable the fact that all the appetizers had a gluten-free option (I tried crocché, montanara and chips and I must say everything was good!). The dessert was also excellent (too bad they had run out of gluten-free lemon delights - but I will return hoping to find it) and definitely a special mention for the normal pizza because objectively one of the best Neapolitan ones that can be found at least in the province of Perugia... but the gluten-free pizza was really not good!.. it's a shame because from the photos they showed me and from the reviews of other celiacs who had been there, the pizza should have been really good.. instead it was objectively ugly to look at, very heavy, full of oil, with an extremely heavy cord and a strong tendency to crumble.. in short.. bad bad. Now, I imagine and hope that it was a coincidence, a change of recipe... I think I will return to give it a second chance.. but I ask the owners if objectively I interpreted correctly and there was a "failed" change of recipe, or if I have to give up because the recipe is that one and objectively it is not valid... a ready-made base is objectively much, much, much better...

Very good gluten free pizza! Best I've had in a long time.

Samy G

One of the best bars ever!!!!! Top gluten free!!!

Reno de Graaf

Randomly found this fantastic restaurant via Google, very surprised with the delicious food. Both pastas and pizzas were excellent. Also well supported by an excellent English speaking waiter. Finally also excellent options for gluten free people. Absolutely recommended!

Ornella Bertolin

Saying 5 stars is an understatement. Eaten like a true Gourmand. Spectacular and super abundant lasagna. Dragged to lick your lips. For a Celiac like me who almost never find the first courses? In this place you can choose any type of sauce and they make it gluten-free. What can I say, a REALLY RECOMMENDED place Well done, compliments

Ale P

Excellent gluten-free pizza too. Friendly staff.

We made a reservation 10 days ago. We were assigned a table outside under a canopy. There was bird droppings on the tablecloth, which were simply wiped away instead of being changed. After 30 minutes, the waiter (very nice) came and took our order. We had 3 rabbit ragouts with pasta (1 gluten-free). Unfortunately, there were bones everywhere in the ragout, in all 3 portions. The gluten-free plate was not labeled, but was brought separately. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant; they focus on quantity over quality (the pizzas from the neighboring table were all burnt).

Omar Agostinelli

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff! Nice, warm and welcoming place! Excellent service and food! Prices more than valid compared to the quality! Also suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerants given the variety of gluten-free foods!

Sandra Block

The fresh pasta was very, very good, and I brought a huge supply of gluten-free pasta with me. There are many different brands to choose from—all the ones I've tried so far are very good.

I recently dined at Nonna Nini, located near Piazza del Comune in Assisi, and it was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The restaurant offers a unique blend of Indian and Italian cuisine, resulting in complex flavors that are both subtle and strong. One of the highlights for me was their accommodating menu, which includes gluten-free options and completely vegan dishes. Unlike many places where you have to ask for modifications, their vegan offerings are thoughtfully crafted without needing to request the removal of cheese or other non-vegan ingredients. The chef is super friendly and clearly passionate about the food. The experience leans towards fine dining, but the atmosphere remains casual and relaxed. The service and ambiance were both great, making the entire experience enjoyable. My only minor disappointment was the lack of vegan dessert options. Overall, Nonna Nini is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to explore a fusion of Indian and Italian flavors, whether you have dietary restrictions or not.

Anna Rita Bruno

We had a great time. Very kind and helpful staff. It is a paradise for celiacs

Andrius Jegnaras

Pizza is very good, I recommend it to those who are celiac, the only thing is that it's a bit too noisy

Alberto Vassura

The place has that "something extra" that makes it special, could it be the many beers they have to offer? Will the gluten-free proposals they have? Will it be the guys in the room with their friendliness and friendliness? Will it be the excellent music selection? (perhaps this last one doesn't intrigue many) The only way to find out is to give it a chance and try it

Chiara Polini

I had the torta al testo with cooked grass, sausage and gluten-free mozzarella, highly recommended 👍🏻. If you want you can eat at the tables in the restaurant, but it is strictly take-away. For gluten-free, call at 5 pm when it opens and book what you want, whether it's pizza or torta al testo, because they prepare it to order.

Alessandra Manzo

We came to this restaurant because it offers gluten-free menus. We were welcomed by the owner, a courteous, kind and slightly eccentric man who was totally contextualised in his restaurant. In fact, the environment is decidedly out of the ordinary, at times even a little claustrophobic, however it tells an experience, a story, there is character and the courage not to follow clichés. The pizza is actually not a pizza but a "Franciscan Schiacciata" I seem to remember it being called that and we liked it a lot. During dinner we wondered how the gentleman managed to manage all the tables totally alone, when we discovered that he also took care of the preparation of the "pizzas" we couldn't believe it! A phenomenon! For this reason alone he deserves all our respect.

Alberto Vassura

Excellent ice cream shop for those looking for gluten-free products! The stracciatella won us over, the chocolate that was present was superb, congratulations!

Roby M

What can I say, a pleasant discovery! Excellent quality, generous portions and honest prices. A small restaurant overlooking the lake. Exceptional owner, a true hostess who immediately puts you at ease with jokes and lots of laughter. Note of merit...spaghetti with clams! Truly excellent. Important thing: POSSIBILITY OF GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS which is no small feat. Definitely come back!

Riccardo Gini

Everything excellent! For gluten-free, ask for Antonella: truly competent!!

Marco Falcetelli

There were 4 of us on a Saturday night. Attentive and professional service. Refined and really good food. We will definitely be back. Special mention to the dining room staff, always kind and approachable. A real pleasure. We will definitely be back. My celiac girlfriend was able to eat everything including the first courses.

In a crowded Assisi at the end of April, we choose to have lunch here. Being celiac, I called a few days before and, on the phone, they told me that by choosing the cutting boards it is possible to have seats. Having children with us, we choose to have lunch sitting down. There are 11 of us arriving: 7 adults (including 2 celiacs) and 4 children. I find kindness and availability in the reception phase. They prepare a table for 11 for us in a somewhat secluded area of ​​the restaurant... improvised setup, tables not perfectly clean... The waiter helps us choose the cutting boards by offering us the most expensive cutting boards. Then he says, 'I'll do the wine?' Having received our consent, he gives us 2 very expensive bottles of wine. But so far nothing particularly serious. The really serious thing was having paid for 3 'magnificent' cutting boards and not having received the appropriate quantities. They brought a bit of everything on the menu but without respecting the quantities corresponding to 3 cutting boards. For example, we only saw 4 bruschettas arrive for 3 platters... the same quantity we saw on tables with 2/3 people.... Absurd ! As for the management of place settings, they only provided us with forks and a few napkins. It went well as long as we ate the cured meats but once the pickled vegetables included in the menu arrived (which had been forgotten and we had to request) we had great difficulty eating them and we opted to recycle the plates of cured meats, now empty, left on the table.... It is also important to underline a superficial preparation on the management of cutting boards and gluten free bread... there is flour everywhere and, although the gluten free cutting boards are prepared in a separate room, there is a small window that connects the area where normal sandwiches are made to the area that should be dedicated to gluten free... high risk! The summary is: we paid more than 200 euros for a tasting of cured meats of undoubted quality, presented very badly and in smaller quantities than expected.. Forgotten in a corner of the place, after having paid a good sum, at a certain point, we received as a consolation prize a plate of chips for the children and 3 free cans... they must have felt guilty, ... It's sad to write such a review because we found so much sympathy and friendliness in all the guys. But dear guys, taking advantage of the crowds to earn more is not a move that will take you far!!

gaia mencaroni

delicious ice cream. wide choice of flavors and all products are gluten-free which is very difficult to find in small towns. the only big flaw is the environment and the elderly gentleman who has an intrusive and annoying behavior towards female customers and the questionable and aggressive tones with which he treated the employee while she was preparing the ice cream. a real shame

I found this restaurant two years ago during a trip out of town to Perugia, I needed a gluten-free place given my celiac disease. After two years back in Perugia, alone this time, I didn't think twice about returning to Il Moderno. A particular and welcoming place, it looks like the living room of a house; books and wines everywhere...for those like me who have these two passions, rest assured that you will like it. Good, helpful and attentive kitchen and dining room staff. In short, well done guys! Menu with a limited choice, a huge plus point that makes you think of the use of excellent raw materials, in fact that's the case! The ingredients are excellent. Prices like the ingredients, excellent too. I highly recommend anyone who is undecided to opt for them, whether you are alone, as a couple or in a group. You will feel at home!

Fabulous crepes, granitas that finally taste like fruit, and delicious chocolate sorbet. A paradise of gluten-free goodies

Ivana Gobbi

We stopped by chance and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly welcome of Cristina, a true artist in the composition of delicious and colorful ice cream cups, many flavors of gluten free ice cream....what can I say.... impeccable service, kindness, courtesy, quality!. We will be back!

Arianna Spurio

We had dinner on Easter Monday we ate very well and being celiac I was able to eat very well too, a very good crescia and they also make gluten-free pizza... very kind staff and nice place we will definitely return

Silvia Nucci

Unfortunately my experience with this pastry shop was very disappointing. I booked gluten-free desserts for a dinner with friends, expecting fresh products or at least ready to serve. Instead, at the time of collection, they were delivered to me still completely frozen, without the owner notifying me of the need for preventive defrosting. Then discovering that the desserts had been produced at the beginning of January and the beginning of February respectively (we are talking about weeks before the purchase) was even more disappointing. After over 3 1/2 hours at room temperature, they were still full of ice and impossible to eat. If I had known in advance that these were old frozen products, I might have acted differently. Instead, I found myself having to justify the inconvenience to my guests. For a specialized pastry shop, I would have expected greater transparency and care for the customer. I don't think I'll be back.

Very characteristic place, genuine and locally sourced food, very welcoming staff, kind and attentive to the different needs of the customer: I am celiac and I had no problems with the menu! Everything very good and .... gluten-free!!! Go visit Sangemini, an enchanting village and stop at the Taverna del Torchio!!!

Espedito Barrucci

Excellent Umbrian restaurant, refined atmosphere, typical location in various large tavern-style rooms. Menu with various courses, also gluten-free, and tasting menus. Excellent truffle dishes. Good tagliata with pistachio cream. Good wine list. Also good desserts, such as tozzetti with vin santo and anise biscuits, of their own production. Friendly staff, in particular Mr. Andrea, a special person. Prices appropriate to the catering offered, medium-high range. I recommend for those who want quality.
