Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens to Explore in Firenze

Casey Cromwell

They didn’t earn the title of the best gluten free pizza in the world by accident — they truly do have some of the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Plus they can also make all their dishes lactose free. I ordered a gf and lactose free pizza and it was fantastic. They even had gluten free bread for an appetizer. Will be going back any chance we get!

Busy but we got a seat fairly quickly. Menu is easy to navigate, choose a base.. gluten free option then choose your pizza flavour. Most delicious gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten.

Sarah Conroy

Amazing visit for our family, staff were great with kids and very accommodating. Loads of gluten free options - very very happy!

Craig Rosenman

We went with friends who are not GF and everyone had a great meal. This is definitely one of the better places in Florence for both a GF meal and great food. Highly recommend. They had a full separate GF menu that included just about everything on the regular menu with a few exceptions. Will definitely go back.

A decent spot for a celiac trying to navigate eating out while traveling. Being handed an entirely separate and gluten free menu felt comforting after walking out of a restaurant who wouldn’t indicate which, if any, dishes were safe. The meal itself was good for being gluten free. I’m only a few months in to my diagnosis so I still compare to regular pastas and dishes which can be tough. I ordered the ravioli which was semi-bland but I still enjoyed it.

This place has the most wholesome waiters (shoutout to Elyes!) and the cutest atmosphere. They make certain all allergies and special diet requirements are met, which can make eating out so much more relaxing as someone with allergies and intolerances. They checked and the gluten-free pasta is vegan so I had multiple options to choose from.:)

Rossana Wyatt

Great selection, food was very good and service was wonderful!

Shai Backus

Staff were lovely. Everything gluten free gives great peace of mind. Risotto was delicious.

Salli

I've never had a gluten-free pizza of this quality before. Wow! Eduardo, my host, was extremely attentive. I initially had a table outside. When the sun started shining too brightly in my face, he repeatedly asked me if I wanted to move to another table. Normally, you don't like doing that because you then have to clean two tables. Great! I can't confirm the long wait times mentioned in the reviews. Firstly, I was on vacation, and secondly, I enjoyed the view of the Medici Chapel. Everything was perfect, and I would gladly go back!

Sarah Conroy

Absolute godsend for families!!!!!! Everything gluten free and a kids play area. Win win win!

Paola Addorisio

Very kind and super welcoming owners! Very attentive to gluten-free. I am celiac and I found a complete menu with many gluten-free options made by them. Excellent gluten-free bread!

Rosana Nikollaj

Waiter Daniele Panini super kind and helpful, really an excellent welcome. Unfortunately the rating on the food was significantly lower, gluten-free pizza not cooked and rubbery, not spread well. Left almost all on the plate. Asked for cooking again but it came back still raw. The normal pizza was not bad. Congratulations again to Daniele though!

Tereza Švandová

Everything was tasty. I really appriciate the gluten free options! Service was fine and friendly, also the surrounding of the cathedral has its own charm. Thanks!

Chiara Carrani

Excellent GLUTEN-FREE pizza, exceptional dough, fried dough and welcome prosecco, all GLUTEN-FREE. Average prices and quick and very friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Gregg Kennedy

Great quick lunch spot. Gluten free pizza, AIC certified. Also enjoyed the Greek salad and risotto. Nothing flashy but exactly what we were looking for.

Delfina Colombo

AMAZING gluten free pasta! Only downside (just for me) you could choose any salsa but the pasta was only penne.

Ester Gavaldà Espelta

All menu in gluten free, and the food was super good, also, the workers are so nice and they are very kind. Recomended!!!

Omar Lorenzo Pini

I give 1 star because you can't give 0. By phone I had explicitly asked if the gluten-free pizza dough was fresh, they told me yes, obviously the base was packaged of poor quality and the water was from the tap and hot with a strong chlorine flavour. Really poor quality/price ratio. We will never go back again really bad experience

Patrizia Barbieri

We spent these 2 days in Florence, everything was delicious, very attentive to gluten-free food and everyone was very kind, especially Antonio number 1, thanks for the hospitality

anastasia kaufman

Good food, and if you eat at the restaurant the gluten-free pizza is very good. But there is a problem with gluten-free pizza on delivery. Every time my pizza arrives completely decomposed, all the ingredients do not stay on the pizza, and it is a disaster. Instead that normal pizza of my partner never happens. It is strange, I understand and also a problem of movement in transport but it has not without that only the gluten-free pizza arrives like this and the others do not.

Berta Val

Delicious! And a gluten-free pasta option A little noisy though...

Amber Easterling

A great Italian restaurant with indoor as well as a beautiful outdoor patio for seating!! The staff were very friendly and helpful! I told them I had celiac and they told me that they could make GF pasta for me and showed me which sauces I could choose from. I ended up getting Paccheri Cacio e Pepe which is a cheese and black pepper sauce.

Marco Mozzini

Ordered take-away pizzas, they were very kind to have them ready at the requested time, fresh from the oven. Excellent flavor, even the gluten-free one, they made the Meyer day hospital jealous for the aroma released. Honest price (39€) for 3 porcini and truffle pizzas, they also offered us 3 drinks. It had been a few years since I had a meal at their place, also because of my wife's gluten intolerance, but now that I know that even that is not a problem... we will definitely be back.

Valentina

Gluten-free pasta is delicious, one of the best I've tried in Italy. The waitress' service was also excellent (she speaks Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and English).

Avigail Lesnichy

Visited 5 times in one trip because it was so good delicious and very good with gluten free options!!!

Laura Grosso

I've been coming with my friends for about a year and we always leave with full bellies and satisfied. I am gluten intolerant and gluten-free focaccia is served instead of bread (which is not to be taken for granted when receiving a good product and not packaged bread), but the first courses can be made gluten-free. Really delicious and lean meat, cured meats and cheeses. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to have a quality dinner or lunch!!! Excellent service and Fabio (the waiter) is very competent, polite and attentive to the customer

Shawn Miller

Amazing food. Gluten free pasta & bread available (picture of GF pasta)

Jordi Siurana

The place is very pretty and picturesque, steeped in history and retaining its essence. The service is perfect; we were served quickly and in Spanish. There are gluten-free options, but the pasta is only spaghetti, with any sauce you like. The food isn't spectacular, but it's good. And it's very cheap! Bread is included in the dinner supplement, which is €3 per person. We ate during the week without a reservation, but booking is recommended.

Cemre Arslan

We chose it for dinner. The menu choice was quite extensive. Everything we ate was delicious and the pasta was gluten-free. 🥰The employees were friendly and caring. Thanks.

Salva Aparicio

A perfect place for a family meal. Very professional service and incredibly good food. I definitely recommend it. Top-notch gluten-free pasta and perfect bisque.

Kirstin Hutton

Wonderful experience! Would have loved some gluten free bread as an option for the cover, but the meal options being celiac safe were appreciated. I really enjoyed the stew. The wine was SO good and we loved the cozy dining room. Could have stayed all night.

Stephanie Blenko Currier

We stopped by here during a trip to Florence from London. A friend had insisted that we make the journey out of the city to try this pizza. I was dubious as I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. Expectations were very high, but every single one of them was exceeded. The gluten free pizza was specially developed by the head chef, which the menu explained. The texture was incredible, the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The simple ingredients topping it were of very high quality and perfectly complemented the dough. My husband had a regular pizza with gluten which he also spoke very highly of. Even the desserts were sensational - my gluten free tiramisu made for a beautiful end to the meal. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; if you are gluten free and you come to Florence, you must make the journey to visit Giovanni Santarpia.

Ted Moolenaar

Super busy and super fun. Excellent service and delicious (gluten-free) pasta and pizza. Discuss in advance or come at 7:00 PM and finish eating by 8:00 PM. Highly recommended. FINE

Erin

Arber was wonderful! The food was incredible— I am gluten free and dairy free. I highly recommend!

Gustavo Picone

Excellent food! Very good service and they have gluten-free options!

Linda Williams

Lovely meal here, very full menu and gluten free no problem with pizza and pasta options.

Reid Wilson

Othmane was extremely helpful and accommodating for me being gluten free and the food was great. Forza Viola!

sagar dhapare

The restaurant has amazing food and the ambience is great. Mirko was extremely kind and helpful in selecting the menu and the restaurant has good gluten free options! Must try in Florence!!!

Sacrane

Fabulous food, service and ambiance. Really very warm welcome, kind and prepared, especially in the various advice and availability. The girl who managed us was really nice and it was a real pleasure to get advice from her. The only advice I feel like giving, obviously aimed at improvement, is to slightly increase the quality of the gluten-free proposals, in terms of attention to individual dishes and menu choices.

Giorgia Spinelli

Adorably rustic setting and very friendly staff. All menu options can be made gluten-free! Very good spaghetti

Maëlle Ribes

Fast, welcoming service and very good pasta (gluten-free available). Nothing to complain about, a good place to enjoy pasta in a fairly quiet street in the city center!

Leah Berg

my favorite restaurant in florence! i have continuously returned to this place because of the AMAZING food and lovely staff :) fantastic gluten free options, great atmosphere, and friendliest staff! would absolutely recommend

I start with the premise that this review at the request of my "celiac" girlfriend was not among her wishes to release, knowing in herself that she was dedicating very few nice words towards this restaurant. That said, I personally expose what unfortunately happened on: 04/03/2025 My girlfriend and I, a “CELIAC” through the The fork platform, decided to book at this restaurant, also convinced by the fact that it offered the gluten-free option, well, we get there, we sit down, we order and it is here that something happens that you would never expect from someone who offers the “GLUTEN-FREE” service, we are served a dish containing gluten to a celiac person, also on my request to receive gluten-free bread for my girlfriend, a few seconds later the chef is seen coming out of the kitchen, who promptly tries to lift the plate to take it with him to the kitchen, unfortunately my girlfriend, despite the chef trying to take the plate back, the contents of it were ingested anyway and if it had not been for my request regarding gluten-free bread, my girlfriend would have ingested a whole dish containing gluten. Despite the fact that the facility did not charge us the bill "the minimum" and after their apologies and calls, I came here, after two months to say this ... My girlfriend has been experiencing abdominal problems for over a month and not only that, she is limiting her life, both at work, at university and private, undergoing various visits While waiting for the results regarding the blood test, if she discovers, in fact, altered values ​​regarding the celiac disease protein, we will hold this facility responsible, with consequent complaint to the police, as well as complaint to the AIC "Italian celiac association" My girlfriend, "very good" despite this decided not to leave any review, to date with various problems that she is going through I am here to write this. Of course, the facility cancelled the reservation through The fork and of course by offering lunch I was not given the receipt, so they could say that I have no proof, in reality I took relative photos, with relative dishes, as well as the name of the facility and also importantly the phone calls that were made to us after lunch. That said, I advise anyone with celiac disease not to go here Small update, my girlfriend went to the emergency room a few days ago, now we are waiting for the results of the blood tests, with proven detection of the celiac disease protein, a complaint will be filed with the police with a complaint also with the AIC We have not even received a response regarding this from the owners, which is why I say that if this problem is confirmed on celiac disease, we will file a criminal complaint with a lawyer, for attempted murder

Inés Gómez

Amazing pizza and you can choose any of their pasta dishes in gluten free option

Macy Erickson

Easy and fast to go gluten free pizza!

Sophie Smith

Delicious food - they have gluten free bread which was warm and crunchy and not from a plastic packet! And GF pasta which was delicious.

Camila Pertierra

The atmosphere, food and service was out of this world. The servers are well knowledgeable, the kitchen accommodates to special diets such as “gluten free”. Alex was the best server! This place is a must when in Florecene, highly recommend. 💙

Ragnhild Nordahl Næss

Great food. Also glutenfree alternatives. Nice straff.

claire kelly

Best food we have had in Florence. Pear and pecorino, Spinach and walnuts, roast beef, meatballs and wild boar pasta. Excellent coffee, excellent service. Great find! Lots of gluten free options too.

Silvia D'ascia

BAD. I DON'T GIVE ZERO BECAUSE I'M FORCED TO GIVE AT LEAST ONE STAR From the beginning, even before ordering anything, I specified to the waitresses that I have celiac disease and that my intolerance is at its peak. They both assured me that the dishes they suggested (the steak, the platter and the potatoes) were definitely gluten-free, uncontamination guaranteed! Five minutes after finishing my plate, I felt terrible. Stomach ache, stomach ache and, due to the effort, even headache. With my face still distorted, I notified the waitresses of the incident. They apologized by saying that "a little contamination was expected, too many preparations are made". At the checkout, even worse, a man who I don't know exactly who he is told me: "if you are so intolerant to gluten then you really shouldn't enter places like these, you really shouldn't eat. Contamination was a given." It would have been more correct to say from the beginning that it would not be possible to prepare something that was not contaminated, as many other restaurant establishments do. OBVIOUSLY RUDENESS, RUDENESS, ZERO PROFESSIONALISM AND SERIOUSNESS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SHAME OF HAVING US PAY THE FULL BILL OF €86! I don't recommend it to anyone who is gluten intolerant.
