The Mushroom Maria has got to be the best dish I have had since being diagnosed with celiac disease.

Holly Butterfield-Rodier

Great food, friendly team, gluten free options are awesome and cooked in a seperate kitchen

Kathryn Whyte

Hard to believe it’s gluten free pizza, it’s so good!! It’s the best we have eaten in Melbourne, or anywhere actually. Grazie Bruno & team for another great night! Thanks to Sebastian for his exemplary service!!

Lauren Sawyer

Rick's place is an absolute gem! We recently visited and had the most amazing night! The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements. We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion. Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all. Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough! Looking forward to our next visit!

If you’ve ever despaired because you’re forced to eat gluten free and you think you’re never going to eat a pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard again, dry your tears because THIS IS THE BEST. It’s authentically Italian, chewy, luscious crust so good you’ll think they messed up your order and gave you the real thing (they didn’t!). The toppings are amazing too, really good quality. Try the signature A25 and the tiramisu. And then cry more tears but this time of genuine happiness that your pizza tastes like pizza

Kate McAree

Great service, food is great too. Accommodates gluten intolerance well.

Total ripoff trying to charge $6 for a different type of flour. This is unjustifiable. You don't prey on people with a 25% fee because they're born allergic to gluten. It tastes worse, never has a good texture and you want people to pay more for the suffering? No thanks.

Sal McD

Terrific Italian and spanish options, good range of gluten free

Thomas Liontis

Range of pizzas are very good, delivery didn't take very long. Gluten free base is one of the best you can find.

Sophie Broughton

Love the gluten free pizzas here! Great value and taste :)

Charanpreet Atwal

We had an amazing experience here! The service from both the owner and staff was warm and attentive, and they took special care with my gluten-free dietary needs, which I truly appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavour and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The ambience was romantic and beautifully styled, and the restaurant itself was spotless. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Italian food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere!

Peyton Nash

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Food was awesome, prices were reasonable. A must for a coeliac or someone with allergies.

Clay Antonio

Finding somewhere to eat as a coeliac, is always a very difficult task. WOW, not only did we feel truly welcomed by the fabulous manager, he also pulled up a seat and sat with us to ensure we would have a great dining experience. The coeliac meal was prepared with the utmost care and the food was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Ruby P

We had my Dad's birthday dinner here tonight, the staff were so friendly and accommodating to gluten free diets at our table. There were only three items on the extensive menu that couldn't be made gluten free! The staff made our night so comfortable and enjoyable, and were totally on top of bringing out dessert with a candle, and playing Happy Birthday on the speakers for us. We will definitely be returning!

Raffaella Mazzeo

One of the best restaurant for authentic Italian cuisine! Plenty of gluten free options too.

Simone V.

The best gluten free vegan pizza you can find anywhere. Plus also the normal pizza is pretty great. And they have my fav organic brand of chinotto and soft drink. Bravi

Dana Kancherla

Best gluten free pizza and sauce was sooo good. Adding it to my favourites, I can see myself going again and again. Location is great close to the beach. Love it !!

UPDATE! 17th May - I was finally able to attend, I was very excited to try this as being coeliac, there aren't many places that are accredited. We arrived as a large group 8 - 10 people, there was a delay in being seated (wasn't a problem as it isn't the restraunts fault that people stay past the maximum time). Once seated, we ordered starters and our mains. The food was amazing. However, what was disappointing was that some of us had to ask multiple times to recieve a new drink, what we had ordered wasn't repeated to us which made me think maybe they had missed me asking for gluten-free so i had to double check myself, once we had finished our mains at 9:30pm, I asked if I could have a calzone nutella as takeaway only to be told that the kitchen was closed.... when did this happen, and why weren't we told nor given the opportunity to order dessert? Dishes and cutlery were also removed from our tables in a very quick way, which also made us feel rushed to leave...

Lulu Andrighetti

Love it here! The best gluten free gnocchi I've ever had!

Jo Munro

I was walking past and the staff assured me they could do gluten and dairy-free. Then pointed out the suitable options on the menu. I had the Paella, they confirmed it would be safe for me and it was delicious.

A lovely little Italian restaurant: Pizza and Gnocchi Bar. We shared a few plates of Gnocchi and a pizza in biancho (not tomato based). Between 3 of us. Absolutely scrumptuous food within an absolutely delightful atmosphere. Plenty of different sauces to accompany gnocchi. Simple, yet genuine, tasty yet not over the top. Little pillow puffs that were soft and light...only 10% flower and gluten free apparently. Coming from an Italian background, we do make home made gnoccli from scratch. Despite Gemma's rendition being different they were very appetising and lovely to eat. Probably one of my favourite dishes to eat at home and I never order them when dining out as it's rare to find them so good. The porcini pizza was in bianco as I've mentioned. Subtle flavours with the essence of truffle oil which is my favourite. Absolutely very yummy. The base was was light thin yet fluffy around the crust. It can be made with a gluten free option if you prefer. The chef also provided us with arancini as an entre. I absolutely loved them...hope they get back onto the menu in the future. The green chilli oil was also an excellent accompanyment to our meal especially with the garlic focaccia. As far as service goes, it was exceptional during our dinner. Thankyou and I look forward to the next dine in experience.

Kate

Food was great and had such a great environment. We had 1 person in our group who was vegetarian and another who was gluten intolerant and they were able to fit those dietary requirements. Portions of the pizza were proper big sizes that I had to take to go as leftovers. I would suggest making a reservation here as we tried to walk in and they almost would not seat us as a party of 5.

Alan Buckley

Omg real italian quality pizza. Really good gluten free pizza a solid 10 out of 10. Highly recommend

Maddy Roberts

Cute spot, can be quite busy, but good service. We mainly get takeaway, have the best gluten free base options in the hills, actually taste good & not like potato or cardboard! The pork sausage & the spicy eggplant are our faves. The salads are good too, although a little pricy for the size.

Tina K

Unbelievably good gluten free pizza (and gnocchi). They make their own dough, and the texture is actually just like real pizza with the right chewiness and crisp. Expensive but worth it. They don’t skimp on toppings or cheese either. Very fast service.

Leesa Clancy

Had a birthday dinner with family and friends. They food was fantastic and catered well for gluten free and vegetarian diets. The service was amazing, attentive without being overly invasive.

Nicky Weiss

Fantastic for Coeliacs and Foddies! Dedicated GF frier for delicious gf chips.

India M

Pretty disappointing overall. Whilst the man who greeted us and the lady who brought us our water were both kind, our principal server was quite rude. The starters were both pleasant but the gluten free version of the ragu was very disappointing. It was very bland and not great texture wise either. We had been so excited to try the much talked about restaurant but left feeling very deflated. What was meant to be a special meal ended up being one to forget

Nikki Devis

Amazing gluten free food, almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free. I loved the gnocchi. Also has a plant based menu that looks delicious. Great service, delicious food.

Hallie Goodman

Absolutely can not say anything negative about this place. The food is amazing and the service is great. Also easily the best gluten free pasta in Melbourne. They have a covered patio in the back and the heaters were pumping it was fantastic. I can't wait to go back.

Rina

So impressed with the food and service here, we had a capricciosa pizza, arancini, salad and a gluten free focaccia and couldn’t fault any of it. Accompanied with a couple of their tap beers and a crisp, dry Prosecco - we were really impressed with all of it! Pasta looked great as well, will have to try it next time. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We were accosted at the door at 5.30pm that we had to be out at 7pm. No hello, no welcome, not even wait for us to get to the table. Just make sure to get the heck out?? Well don't worry we won't bother returning. This in itself wouldnt be a deal breaker but the food was subpar bordering gross. The gluten free menu isnt gluten free, it's just low gluten. When ordering a Pinot grigio, it tasted like a watered down chardonnay. Good luck if you dare go here.

Valentina Angeloni

The gluten free Buffalo pizza and calamari fritti were to die for!!! We loved the food we had and the waitress looking after us was attentive and professional. The venue is beautiful ❤️ with a great ocean view!!! We'll definitely come back to visit you!! ❤️

Leah Raymond

I came upon this place by chance and ordered a gluten free pizza. It was so delicious! I really enjoyed the flavour of the toppings and the texture of the crust: authentic and flavoursome. The service was really prompt, which was quite an achievement in itself as the owner was working on his own and had so many orders to fill. I highly recommend trying the food there.

Melissa Corsetti

Food was delicious!! They have a great vegan menu & cater a lot for gluten free! Special thank you to Anna for her amazing service!!! 👌👌👌

Alessandro Minelli

Best Italian restaurant in Fitzroy . Homemade Pastas are to die for. We tried the wildboar and garlic prawns and we loved it! Plenty of options for Vegan, vegetarians and gluten free. Fair prices and beautiful atmosphere, like being at home. We’ll be back soon, thanks to Andrea and the whole staff 🍕❤️

This is the second time I have been to Shanikas in Berwick and it still does not disappoint. Servers are friendly, knowledgeable and demonstrate an amazing amount of skill. This includes remembering each diners drinks to be able to offer and carry out refills seamlessly. Essentially their entire menu can be catered to Gluten Free - however patrons must be aware that any shared kitchen is the diners responsibility to choose if they feel is safe for them or not. I have Coeliac Disease and I have never had an issue when here. As soon as I inform the wait staff they are immediately able to recommend which dishes are their best options, point out everything that they can substitute to be gluten free (which again is essentially everything). They have a wonderful array of drinks to choose from whether alcoholic or not - there truly is something for everyone. Their cocktails are also made very well. My go to meal option is always the BBQ Beef Cheek, it’s beautifully made and well presented. I highly recommend this venue for absolutely any occasion. They have a warm, cosy vibe inside, you can dress up or not yet still feel completely comfortable and at ease. I am always astounded at how reasonable their prices are for the level of quality and service provided.

Elizabeth Abrahams

We had 3 Delicious pizzas including a gluten free mushroom pizza. Service was prompt and friendly. This venue is our local Italian go to restaurant- booking seats is essential.

Roxy Robson

Plenty of tasty celiac safe, gluten free options available. Absolutely blown away by the service we received from Georgia, she was an absolute gem from start, attention to detail, and natural hospitality made us feel completely at home. She kept our drinks topped up all night without us even needing to ask, which made the entire evening feel so smooth and relaxed. Amazing recommendations for the seafood and steak, knows the menu so well and helped with dietaries.

Adrianne de Boers

Fantastic food. Friendly service and comprehensive menu to accommodate coeliac condition. Can't wait to come back. Yummm.

Gary Chapman

We arrived as first time visitors to Australia and 20mins before closing!! We asked if it was too late to order as we had just got off airplane and were starving they said no problem. We both had two drinks and I had an unbelievable pizza, my wife had gluten free pasta as she is gluten intolerant and had lots options, she said it was amazing. The background music was brilliant 70’s and 80’s rock and pop. We were not rushed at all, staff were very friendly and chatty. We will return to enjoy another evening there before leaving. They

emily alford

Have been here numerous times, staff are always wonderful and accommodating. Fantastic meals and a seperate gluten free menu.

Marie Donnelly

The pizzas were phenomenal! We had a coeliac guest and the gluten free pizza base was the best we have ever come across. The pasta was soooo good as well. The staff were lovely and friendly and the dining room was cosy and warm with great decor and music in the background. Can't wait to go back!

Jessica Jones

The food was amazing! Didn't expect so many gluten free options it was fantastic.

Benjamin Sanders

Always love heading here, it's pretty rare to find really good, tasty gluten free pizza but they nail it here and it's quite safe for coeliacs

Daisy

We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Farro last November. The food was generous, service was amazing, and the Farro team was so accommodating with dietary requirements (coeliac and vegan guests) and ensuring we were able to utilise the semi-private dining space on short notice. We also loved just the little touches of being able to choose some venue styling details and the personalised menu for the night as well. Thank you for a great night. With love, D + A

Sandi Monaghan

The food was amazing and the service was perfect. My daughter is celiac and the gluten free pasta was the best. My new favourite Italian restaurant ❤️
