Disappointing dinner
We went to this restaurant for a family dinner (4 people) during a 3-day vacation, attracted by the fact that it was listed as a member of the AIC circuit. Unfortunately, the experience was well below expectations.
The appetizer arrived immediately, but the gluten-free bread to accompany it was served after an hour. When asked for clarification, the answer was "be patient", because there was a table for 70 people who also arrived after us.
The waiting staff was clearly in a hurry because in addition to the large table there were just as many covers at small tables. And unfortunately, when the first courses arrived, the situation did not improve: overcooked risotto at canteen level, cutlet as hard as a sole, agnolotti with and without gluten brought by the same waiter (a very critical aspect for those with celiac disease).
From a place that presents itself as attentive to gluten-free I expected much more attention and professionalism.
I hope they can reflect on management and, above all, on how many people a restaurant can accommodate based on the available staff. Serving a few well is better than serving everyone badly.
We resolved the evening for the better by stopping in a supermarket.
I decided to write this review, something I have never done before, because I was shocked by the poverty, the malice and the arrogance of the reviews of the last few weeks on this pizzeria. I would like to point out that my family and I are long-time customers of the pizzeria which, at various times, has always satisfied us quite a bit; but you know, not all donuts come out with a hole. We were at dinner on the second or third day of the change of management and in fact there was some disservice: slightly long waiting times, ATM and satispay that did not work etc... but the new owner took action, in the only way he could, by offering a discount at the time of payment. I returned after about a week and the management had returned to normal and, having returned with my family for the third time, I must say that the pizzas have nothing to envy the previous ones, in fact, both the normal ones and the gluten-free ones seemed excellent to us. Now my question is this: people who leave such negative reviews full of arrogance, gratuitous malice, arrogance towards those who have just taken over the management of a business, what problems do they have towards their fellow men? I don't think I'm a person who always has everything going well, on the contrary, the exact opposite, but I think a minimum of tolerance would help these people live better. I still have to get something off my chest: I was very sorry to read the response of the previous owners, whom I respect, with a Pontius Pilate-like "we are no longer here". Lastly, best wishes to the new management and, if you continue like this, you will always have me, my family and not only as customers!!!
Gluten-free dinner!
I was finally able to eat excellent quality gluten-free dishes!
The menu offers revisited traditional dishes and more exotic dishes, all delicious.
The service was excellent, the guy who served us was very nice and very knowledgeable about celiac disease 👏🏼

Very helpful and kind, excellent for those who cannot eat gluten as 99% of the menu is also offered gluten-free.
Not the usual dishes but delicious proposals prepared excellently
Spectacular
Didn’t know where to go because most places close at 2:30/3:00pm
We found this Italian restaurant and honestly it’s the highlight of the day
They can also make the pizzas gluten free
Beautiful experience.. highly recommended place for gluten-free and not only.. courteous, attentive and helpful staff.. excellent value for money.. without a doubt to try again.
I have been celiac since I was a child and for years I have frequented this restaurant with confidence, because it was one of the few to offer gluten-free options. Unfortunately, today I can no longer say the same.
It is already the second time that, after eating a pizza declared gluten free, I feel sick for hours.
I am sorry to say it, but evidently the attention to contamination is no longer what it once was. For those who are celiac, this is not a detail: it is a question of health.
I hope that the restaurant will truly guarantee the safety it promises again. For now, I do not feel like recommending it to those with special dietary needs.
The offer of different doughs gives the place a very high rating as, in addition to the classics, there is also gluten-free dough, both in pan and shovel format.
I give my choice, wholemeal focaccia with lard, a solid 10!
The base is excellent, covered with very soft lard.
I will definitely be back!
Going to Past a Porter is like going home. Many selections of traditional Italian pastas and condiments. Also suitable for many intolerances and diets: if you have celiac, vegan and lactose intolerant friends, it will be the place that makes everyone happy! The staff is always very welcoming and smiling :)
Really excellent potatoes and good attention to gluten-free. Too bad about the waiting time and the really basic service. Price in line with the proposal
A neat, fresh and cute place. They also have a gluten-free menu, but in the first course section there is only one type; well, they could also offer stuffed pasta to fully enjoy all the goodness of the region. For the rest, I liked everything!
A place that lends itself very well, both for a pizza for lunch and for a more refined dinner, a family lunch, a business lunch or with friends. The staff were friendly and pleasant without being excessive. Very good food and notable options for celiacs 😍. Price in line with the offer. Well done! Advise!!
Very good Italian restaurant with specialised food from Puglia and Piemonte. They have a lot of glutenfree options for lunch and dinner. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they speak really good English. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to eat different dishes instead of pizza, which they don't.
Gluten-free pizza not recommended, small and very thin with an overcooked outer crust, so little dough that it doesn't even feed me and I can never finish a pizza! The seasoning was without praise and without infamy, but the sadness of the portion which penalizes those who are already forced to eat gluten-free is unforgivable. NEVER AGAIN. The outdoor area of the place is decidedly poor. Very welcoming and helpful waiter. The positive note that made me go down the treat.
Small welcoming place. Excellent service. Superlative food (don't miss the aubergine parmigiana). They also have gluten-free options (ask!).
A little gem in San Salvario!
Nice place in the center of Turin, where you can buy artisanal pasta and taste excellent first and second courses (I didn't try the desserts because I'm full, but I imagine they were delicious!)
Fast service
Not suitable for celiacs
Adequate in terms of quality/price ratio
We have been twice and it has never disappointed us! Excellent cuisine and young and very kind staff. Also very equipped for gluten-free.
We recommended it to all our Turin friends who didn't know it yet.
I did not know him. Went via the fork app. I have celiac disease and I must say that they had the necessary attention and were even supplied with GF bread. All the dishes ordered were very good and well plated. Very kind staff.
