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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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 :)

Elisa Lago

Restaurant in the heart of Perugia, the interior is in medieval style with stone walls. The food is typical traditional, tasty, also available in gluten free version. Kind and helpful staff. Recommended place!

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

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

Lotte S

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

Samy G

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

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).

Ale P

Excellent gluten-free pizza too. Friendly staff.

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.

Fabio Rocchi

A nice and typical place, with attention also to gluten-free foods, informal and measured service, good choice of typical dishes, pizzas also for lunch, really interesting platters and desserts... all just a few steps from the Market Square.

Anna Rita Bruno

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

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.

Terrible experience no gluten free services TO AVOID!!!!

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!

Cecilia Tironzelli

Available and welcoming with all forms of needs that they try to satisfy whenever possible. Very good food, large menu for all tastes, very large gluten-free option and also a wide choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes. A place where you always like to go! Also because parking is guaranteed

Alessandra

Excellent gluten-free pizza, impeccable hospitality and courtesy.. beautiful evening

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

Sam Watson

Everything gluten free is amazing, and the server spoke good English. Really recommend the mango for a hot day!

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.

Gabriele Colzi

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

Davide M.

Nice place with good food and attentive waiters. Also for gluten-free or vegetarians.

Daniela Ciurnelli

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!!!

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!
