A restaurant with excellent food and many gluten-free options. The family atmosphere is very pleasant. We ordered Pasta alla Norma and gluten-free Tortellini.
A superb experience at this restaurant, which offers gluten-free options with Sicilian specialties, from starters to desserts.
Very good, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices.
I recommend it.
Best gluten free pizza I've had in Italy! The pizza is so hard to tell its gluten free. Truly a treat for anyone gluten free you must try! They have gluten free bread pasta deserts and more. All homeade!The portions are huge for food and is affordable for the area. The severs are really lovely.
Delicious food and excellent variety of food. Including desserts.
But the staff isn’t trained!! The waiter brought my gluten free pizza in the same hand with gluten pizza directly touching it!!

Coming from Verona to Catania on holiday.
I was looking for gluten-free places on the internet and I chose this one.
Friendly staff, excellent food, from savory pizzas, bread, to sweet chatter, biscuits, breakfast food. A place for celiacs to try! Thanks again
Great experience, excellent staff including Deborah, a very kind and helpful person, we ate the pizzas, really excellent, especially the gluten-free one, compliments to the pizza chef who creates the dough to perfection. Highly recommended place.
The staff, the atmosphere, and the food were excellent.
There were nine of us and only my daughter has Celiac. They took exceptional care of her. Everything she had was delicious and carefully prepared. They even provided her with information on near by bakeries that were 100% gluten free. Our waiter said his wife is celiac also, so he was incredibly knowledgeable.

Amazing pizzas, spritz and vibe. Setting is stunning up above Taormina in the tree tops. Staff are friendly and service is really quick. But spenny but that’s Taormina. We came back twice in 3 days and worth it both times. I’m gluten free and their bases are fantastic
Yesterday we booked a table with family members as it was August 15th and we didn't have great expectations, instead we have to compliment not only the quality of the food but also the waiters who were quick, friendly and always available, my celiac daughter had a really good time👏👏👏

Great place to eat gluten-free in Syracuse. We ate there two nights in a row, their pizza crust is just the right amount of crispy. We loved the seafood spaghetti and the tiramisu, excellent. Very nice setting in front of the Duomo. The servers are friendly, I absolutely don't understand all the negative comments. As for gluten-free, they are competent on the subject and validated by the Italian Celiac Association. They have a separate menu with gluten-free dishes, you have to ask for it when you arrive (it's less extensive than the normal menu but there's still plenty to enjoy). The dessert menu is the same, the desserts available in gluten-free are indicated with a symbol (be careful though, you have to specify when ordering that you want the gluten-free version, the symbol just indicates that both versions exist).

It was delicious, and we had a fantastic gluten-free pizza...I thought the small surcharge for gluten-free was a shame; we weren't aware of that. Since we have to follow a gluten-free diet, we're glad we had such a great selection here, but it would have been nice not to have to pay extra because we have a medical condition ;)
The staff was very friendly, and the service was super quick. We highly recommend this restaurant for people with celiac disease!
Small but nice place, welcoming atmosphere, we took 1 gluten-free appetizer, 1 gluten-free pizza with tomato, buffalo mozzarella, bacon and parmesan flakes, and 2 with gluten, 1 Zarina and 1 Margherita. As far as I'm concerned it was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever tasted before... absolutely satisfied
Very nice place with outdoor tables and indoor area, we were there for a pizza to celebrate a colleague's retirement. I found a good choice in the proposals also original, various types of dough also for celiacs. The service was impeccable, little waiting good coordination in the release of the dishes. The place is very nice and the food is good, I recommend it
Best gluten-free pizza eaten in recent years.
The place is clean, the terrace overlooks the sea only in a small corner, the rest has a view of the province and the railway but for such a good pizza you can forgive everything!
We had dinner with an appetizer and a first course; everything was excellent! The staff was very friendly and fun, attentive to our requests. They have the whole menu with gluten-free options; a delight!
If I were to return to Erice I would definitely return.
Excellent quality pizza with various types of dough, including gluten free. Availability of seats both indoors and in the dehor in front of the restaurant, capable of accommodating large groups (we were 22..!). To try again to taste another dough among all those available 👍
Typical Sicilian tavern with a hinterland menu, rustic and clean environment, very kind waitress, very serious and prepared on celiac disease. Amazing desserts that knock you out
Certain! Here is a very short review in the style you prefer:
Excellent experience at Cuccagna In in Ragusa! Tasty dishes and great attention to gluten-free, with many safe and delicious options. The owner Antonio was very kind, welcoming and always available. In 4 days we went there twice! Highly recommended!
Excellent experience of both service and food. Above all, excellent experience with gluten-free, given that being celiac in the family, it is not easy to find a suitable place that is attentive to contamination. Thank you so much, for everything.. 5 out of 5 on everything!!
An experience to remember – thank you “La Dolce Vita in Giardino”!
We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant and we can only express our gratitude for the care and love with which we were welcomed. We were a “beautifully complicated” table, composed of 12 people, including one with gluten intolerance — but our every need was listened to, understood and satisfied with extraordinary kindness and professionalism.
The staff literally pampered us from start to finish, going beyond all expectations. Always smiling, proactive, available, very prepared. The service was punctual, impeccable, with a genuine friendliness that made us feel truly at home.
The food? Excellent, both in quality and presentation. The location is splendid, with attention to detail, and you can breathe an atmosphere of passion and dedication everywhere. The owner was also present, precise, attentive: a clear sign of a management that deeply loves what it does.
“La Dolce Vita in Giardino” is much more than a restaurant: it is a place where you are welcomed with the heart. We will definitely be back. Congratulations to all the staff!
What a huge disappointment.
The two of us got two pizzas.
A gluten-free Romana and a margherita with mushrooms whose cooking is rather doubtful as they looked like they were defecated by a seagull.
In any case, we go beyond sight and eat them, terrible, very poor quality of both the dough and the ingredients (as simple as they were).
But that's not all, we also had considerable difficulty digesting the pizzas, which literally remained on our stomachs.
Final gem, two pizzas (one Roman and one Margherita with mushrooms) two cokes and a bottle of water €43.50, a robbery!!!
If they had been good I wouldn't have said anything, but two crazy things and excessive prices for the poor quality (saying quality is a compliment)!
Huge disappointment!!
Never never again
I am gluten and lactose intolerant. At their place I can finally enjoy a proper pizza whenever I feel like it. Highly professional. Honestly the best gluten free dough!
This place was fabulous. We went on a Saturday evening, I called 1 hour before to make a reservation and I am glad I did, cause the place was full.
After eating I understood the reason, pizza was delicious, good pasta and even my daughter's gluten free pizza was very good. I would definitely go there again, when in Riposto. I highly recommend it.
Great views!! Just out of town but worth the walk! No crowds!!! Got a good seat with spectacular view .. ordered GLUTEN FREE pizza for lunch , it was lovely and recieved a free dessert!!! The staff were absolutely brilliant! So friendly and welcoming !! The wine was divine as expected in Scicily!! I will definitely visit again in the future!
Excellent gluten-free pizza! Service was slow, but fine. We had to pour our own water and hunt down plates for bread. Restaurant is in a quiet alleyway and has outside seating, though we did eat inside to escape the heat. I only put four stars because it’s not on the water or with a fantastic view, but the inside is very clean and tastefully decorated.
Very well-kept location, in an elegant and imaginative Aeolian style. Top notch service. Excellent for families and couples. A place that on paper offers the possibility of serving gluten-free seasoned bread and recommended by celiac forums...
The disappointment was that they didn't have any available because they already finished at 1pm...
Naturally we remedied this with a very respectable, rich and abundant salad...
In summary, for celiacs I recommend asking for confirmation of the availability of bread...
The Malvasia Spritz (in the photo) was super appreciated
Beautiful and well-kept location, large parking lot, green space and playground for children.
Very polite staff and attentive to the needs of others, allergies, intolerances... my.prepared on the subject of celiac disease. Excellent food and especially the gluten free one.
Not to mention the desserts, one better than the other.
I highly recommend both for the location and for the food. Excellent experience.
I was enchanted by the gastronomic magic and evocative atmosphere of the "'A Castellana" restaurant, located in a panoramic square under the majestic Caccamo castle. Its interior, furnished with ancient tools, creates a welcoming atmosphere rich in history, perfect for an unforgettable culinary experience.
The restaurant staff proved to be extremely attentive and attentive to customer needs, helping to make the experience even more pleasant.
We began our gastronomic journey with an appetizer of high quality cured meats and cheeses, which conquered our palate with authentic and delicious flavours.
The first courses, a risotto with porcini mushrooms and tagliatelle with sauce and wild boar ragout, were a real delight. The mastery in the preparation and the choice of ingredients made these dishes exceptional, demonstrating the chef's culinary skill.
The highlight was the grilled short rib, enriched with aromatics that added depth to the flavours. The meat was tender, succulent and perfectly cooked, confirming the mastery of "'A Castellana" cuisine.
We accompanied our dinner with an excellent frappato red wine from "Tenute Orestiadi", which was able to further enhance the flavors of the dishes.
A particularly appreciable aspect is the restaurant's willingness to adapt to customers' dietary needs, offering gluten-free options for those who suffer from intolerances.
As regards the quality-price ratio, I think the cost is normal, considering the quality of the dishes, the atmosphere and the impeccable service offered.
In conclusion, our experience at "'A Castellana" was exceptional in every aspect. We look forward to returning to experience more culinary delights and enjoy the warm hospitality of this charming restaurant.
A fantastic lunch! Excellent and quality food, attention to the presentation of the dishes very accurate and sophisticated but simple at the same time. Kind and prepared staff, also for different dietary needs such as gluten-free. In fact, as a celiac I found an inclusive restaurant, fresh bread just for me, fresh pasta that you can't find everywhere, with a significant attention to contamination, it got many more points especially for this. We will definitely be back
