Celiac .. I find anything cooked specifically Gf ... excellent value for money

Valerie Roy

The food was good and they were very gluten-free friendly. The servers were all very well versed in regard to allergies. My gluten-free gnocchi and gluten-free tiramisu were wonderful.

Moreno Stincone

So I booked a table and I arrived and I didn't wait. At least one thing. We took 2 spaghetti allo scoglio, one gluten-free, pasta a bit soft, muscles and mussels not of quality and not very fresh. I eat them often and if I say so, trust me. There wasn't even a shrimp or a lobster but only clams all closed among other things. Then muscles, squid and calamari that I don't even like. A very small 250 ml bottle of wine just 1 and a half glasses per person, I'm not exaggerating, a bottle of sparkling water, a gluten-free cheesecake + 1 coffee and nothing else. Total €58 seems a bit excessive to me. Around 10:45 pm I asked if it was possible to have mussels alla marinara as a second course and they told me that the kitchen didn't make them anymore because they had to close and among other things they didn't even give me a receipt. Thinking back I would have asked but I paid and wanted to go to the bathroom right away. What can I say, there are definitely better places and also as for the staff, I found a nice young guy but the others gave the impression of not being very friendly once I tried to chat with them inside. I went looking for a good quality/price ratio since they did gluten-free food. Now that I know what it's like, I would never go there again. €60 and we didn't even take any second courses but only two first courses, water, 1 wine, a dessert, not 2! A coffee and total €60.

We can assure you without any doubt that this is the place in question. One of the members of our group is celiac, which is why we chose where to go with extreme care; we would never dream of writing such a serious review without carefully checking that it was read by those directly involved. Terrible place and absolutely not recommended, both for the quality of the service and for the total lack of friendliness. We firmly reiterate that we have been addressed with racist and discriminatory comments that are completely unacceptable: we have been called "sinti" in a derogatory tone. And if you don't remember us, we invite you to consult the recordings of the cameras, given the threat against us after a complaint regarding the mixed fried food 😂😂😂😂

Great gluten free pizza

zoe recalde

gluten free farinata very good. super nice waitresses and a nice atmosphere!

Tino Puricelli

Specializing in gluten free, excellent, courteous service. I had a great time.

Mum Rez

Great gluten free crust, cooked in foil tray, therefore not contacting oven base. Given separate pizza cutter. My daughter said ‘it’s so good to eat’, after missing multiple meals the last couple of weeks. 😭

A wonderful restaurant. The gluten-free focaccia and focaccia pizza were truly incredible. The waitress was very friendly and funny. Highly recommended.

marco gargiulo

Had lunch to celebrate my daughter's communion, 16 of us. High quality food, excellent preparation and presentation, both for the 'sea' and the 'land'. Quiet, well-set-up and "scenographic" environment. Excellent service, great attention to customer needs (celiac person above all). Exquisite owners, friendliness, availability and welcome well above the Ligurian average 😆 Adequate price and respectful of what has just been written: experience, professionalism and quality are certainly not free and you can't expect them to be. We will definitely return and recommend it to everyone.

Excellent with gluten-free cooking

Michela R.

Local in the Porto Antico of Genoa with homemade pasta, also in the gluten-free version. The restaurant has some seats both in the internal rooms and at the tables outside. However, booking is recommended. I ate some excellent Trofie with octopus with Taggiasca olives and cherry tomatoes and a very good SG mixed fried food

Hannah Johnston

100% gluten free gelato. No risk of cross contamination with GF cones!! Amazing! Plenty of lactose free and vegan options available.

Alessandro Vannozzi

Environment without character but the food is very good, ok for food intolerances, gluten free both pasta and pizza. Generous servings. I advise the pizza chef to wear a clean t-shirt!!!!!!

Two evenings in a row. No problem with a baby. Gluten-free was no problem. The servers were very nice and friendly even though the place was completely packed. World-class pizza 😍

Christian Kutscher

A beautiful little pizzeria in the mountains of Imperia city. Extremely accommodating, and the pizzas were simply amazing. The price/performance ratio was great. Even though I hadn't pre-reserved a gluten-free option, they made one ready. I'd be happy to come back! English is spoken by the owner's (presumably) son. Otherwise, only Italian.

Hanne Helgesen

Amazing gluten free pizza!

Luca Dazzi

Great attention to gluten free food! Lots of choice. Great food and friendly service. We will be back!

simona santi

Super as always, excellent Neapolitan-style pizza and top service, a guarantee in Chiavari! Quality ingredients, variety of desserts and drinks. They have gluten free and lactose free. Advised

Maddy McGarrah

Would absolutely recommend the pesto making class at Nessun Dorma!! This was a highlight of my recent trip to Cinque Terre. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning to make delicious pesto in such a fun, welcoming, and truly stunning environment. At the end of the experience, we were served an amazing spread of snacks and bottle of wine to take in the views and enjoy the pesto that we made. I am vegetarian and gluten free, and the staff accommodated all of my restrictions with truly delicious food. Nessun Dorma is a wonderful asset to Manarola and the community - it really highlights the beauty and culture of the town.

For celiacs, once informed by the restaurant staff, you will be guided, we recommend the homemade pasta made by the chef, everything was delicious, continue like this and develop your offer with Freeglutine by indicating it on the menu, the dishes with the small Freeglutine symbols , as found throughout Europe! Friendly and family atmosphere but a little noisy; long waiting times to eat when the restaurant is full, if you get a starter, count 2 hours for a meal.

francesca bergagna

What more could you want, a typical Genoese trattoria, on the sea, plentiful dishes, cheap price, and delicious food. They also do gluten-free. Friendly and kind staff.. everything was excellent.. from the starter to the dessert. A fantastic day.. we left there full and happy with the excellent food.. we will definitely be back..

Cathy P

Great gf pizza and pasta. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and friendly! A great spot!

Gregg Kennedy

Small spot with good gluten free pasta. Loved their fantasia al mare- perfect for two people to share. They had a packaged sliced bread option which was nice to dip in the oil.

Marisa Giuliano

We were passing through and ordered 2 gluten-free takeaway pizzas. Delicious and highly appreciated as they are thin, well filled and tasty. Often you find gluten-free dough that is thick, heavy, undercooked and therefore indigestible. And unlike other gluten-free pizzas, they are also good the next day.

Silvia Venturino

The very kind and helpful managers, the pizza with quality raw materials. Positive note: presence of gluten-free dough, the pizza was delicious.

Serena L

Very good and well-seasoned pizza. The gluten-free pizza is excellent, it is not a ready-made base, but kneaded by them. Try the farinata. Fresh and friendly service. Very pleasant to eat in the outdoor square, but the spaces between the tables are a bit narrow. Booking directly from Google Maps is fast and functional.

Dario Milanese

Pizzeria restaurant that prepares pizzas, first courses, second courses and desserts. There are numerous alternatives among the white pizzas and you can ask for gluten-free dough. The drinks cost only 50 cents more than water. There are some tables inside, set up in a bright and modern environment. Other tables are set up under the gazebos in the parking lots in front of the restaurant, close to the roadway. The waiters are not very coordinated with each other: the first person who assigned the table did not tell his colleague to clean up and set the table; at the end of the meal, no one came to ask if we wanted a dessert, a coffee or a liqueur.

Christian R.

In the charming little square of Finalborgo there is this little place, small but with many outdoor seats, you choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, the prices vary... but the constant is that the dish is always abundant! There is the possibility of having gluten-free pasta for celiacs.

Angela Bostan

Unfortunately disappointing experience in this tavern. Young waiters, okay, but inexperienced; they brought the first courses before the appetizers, the wine arrived a quarter of an hour after the glasses, with the meal almost over. The gluten free option is appreciated, however there is a lack of vegan options (as a lactose intolerant I found milk and derivatives in almost all the fish-based dishes). Pleasant environment, in a basement room inside a historic building, dominated by an imposing vault. Average prices, but decidedly high considering the service. Poor wine list, with a poor choice of Ligurian wines, of which only one red can be ordered by the glass and this was absolutely not worth the price.

Daniel

Very good experience - delicious food and welcoming staff. A big plus is the dedicated gluten free Menue. Would recommend without hesitation.

Danilo

Pizza of the highest level for all types of palates and also gluten-free dough. Restaurant with always fresh high-quality products of the Neapolitan tradition. Everything very good even the service despite it being Saturday fast and professional.

Doris Byrd

Chiara Traverso

Good, with the possibility of gluten-free pizzas

lionel coffy

Always exceptional pizzas, including gluten-free ones... I recommend you book in advance....

The "Dalla Padella alla Brace" is a well-kept restaurant without attitude, which is why guests can eat there without being afraid of the threshold. We visited on April 23, 2025; a telephone reservation is recommended. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Italian and English are spoken. The service is experienced and attentive. The guest is then asked whether they want the mineral water chilled or at room temperature. The food, with some Ligurian specialties and products from local and regional "Slow Food Presidios", is absolutely fresh and of the best quality. Gluten-free dishes are indicated on the menu. The wine list includes numerous Ligurian and other Italian wines. The advice is unobtrusive and professional, the prices are hospitable. Overall a successful evening.

Thomas Rist

Highly recommended. The pizza is delicious and the staff is super friendly. Gluten-free pizza is also available. However, reservations are recommended on weekends.

Gluten-free focaccia and farinata are delicious!

Chiara Vivaldi

I have been to Virata several times in person and just as many times I have ordered home delivery… the gluten-free pizza is always excellent, but last night you really outdid yourselves!! It was delicious, excellent ingredients, super dough, thank you!

Alice Bov

We had dinner here with friends, a really pleasant evening. The incredibly fast service, the very tasty pizzas (full of selected quality food) were a bit reminiscent of Neapolitan pizza. My gluten-free dough was thin and with a low edge, really excellent and light (even though I chose a white pizza with 3 cherry tomatoes) this place is suitable for celiacs! I also ate the gluten-free dessert! In short, a great gluten-free pizza! We were all very satisfied! The staff is kind and helpful Correct quality-price ratio

Paolo DEX

Very good heron appetizer, excellent treatment for celiacs, he paid special attention, thanks, I'll be back 👋

Barbara Fuller

Anne Schwab

We loved this place, it has the best glutenfree pizza we ever tasted - our daughter has celiac and we felt very well taken care of. Very kind and good service and really good food even for someone who needs to eat glutenfree (which is not the norm). Look at the pictures, you can see that the pizza dough does not look like concrete like we often see elsewhere. Can fully recommend.

Anna Gardner

Chiara Cerveri

Rich and delicious gluten-free menu!

Gabry R

10 cum laude business lunch. I have celiac disease and they served me in an enchanting way by preparing a pizza for me as a substitute for bread (I will eat the rest at home this evening). Both the first and second courses and also the pizza bases are available. Impeccable service. friendly staff and excellent value for money

Lindsay V

The view was nice. Service was bad, we had to ask multiple times for a few things we ordered. Our food was not great, our least favorite meal while in Italy. They do offer gluten free pasta. The restaurant is set in a steep hillside and is not recommended for guests with limited mobility.

Andrew Bagley

tommaso cunnolo

A sought-after place for its gluten-free options. Their specialty is obviously meatballs, served in all possible ways. The food is also very good, with a wide selection of typical Genoese dishes. The place is a bit crowded, but pleasant. The staff is kind and very attentive.

Gaetano Cavaleri

IL Portico in Orco Feglino Finale Ligure Savona ..via San Rocco 34 ..we are in the heart of the Finale hills in this beautiful place where you eat Ligurian dishes by candlelight, with vaulted ceilings in a rustic room with stone walls, here you can also order gluten-free and lactose-free foods, specifying your allergies in the reservation. Here you will also find a nice free car park, returning to lunch or dinner..the menu consists of 2 first courses, 4 starters of your choice, 2 second courses and desserts. The menu includes bottled wine...directly from the barrel, 1 bottle of water, and coffee, and there is also an excellent children's menu. On Tuesdays you can take part in a wonderful medieval dinner with dressed characters with medieval clothes waiting for you at the entrance and which will open the evening, taking you to a wonderful place, going back in time and something that cannot be missed and will leave you with an excellent memory. And then to continue the evening there is always excellent music on their beautiful terrace with an enchanting view.
