I never leave Google reviews, but I feel genuinely compelled to write one after what was easily the most bizarre dining experience I’ve ever had.
We were looking for a vegan restaurant in Verona, and this place stood out—it looked lovely, with a great concept: locally sourced, organic, gluten-free (not important to me, but fine), and fully vegan. So we decided to give it a try.
I ordered the ravioli, and honestly, I was shocked. It tasted undercooked, the sauce was bland, and there was barely any seasoning—it just felt completely unbalanced and flavorless.
But what really pushed the experience into surreal territory was the music. They were playing a one-minute cover of Every Breath You Take—just that same short version—on repeat. Over and over. For the entire meal. After a while, I had to go find someone and ask if they could please change the music because it felt like I was being tortured. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
I thought the waiter was very nice actually he seemed a bit embarrassed when I asked about the music but the hostess in front for refused to make eye contact after I made this comment.
To be fair they did include a free small appetizer of fennel and Apple, my girlfriend liked it so she ate mine.
Between the food and the atmosphere, I’ll definitely never go back. Just a deeply strange experience from start to finish.

The environment is small and private, it puts you at ease. The staff is kind and helpful. The food is high quality, the pasta is homemade and there are gluten-free options.
Dinner with à la carte menu, good tigelle and plenty of seasonings, my daughter took the gluten-free menu and it was really good, soft and tasty.
Beautiful area of Verona practically 2 steps from the historic center.
If you want to feel special - order the lobster. Being gluten-free, I'm blessed by how nicely they prepared the gluten-free pasta with the lobster. Truely superb. Would recommend & come again. Even the starter bread is available as a gluten free option.
Spectacular gluten-free pizza in a very welcoming square. Initially, we thought it would be a typical tourist spot, but it wasn't! And the prices were VERY good!
It is a wonderful and beautifully decorated restaurant, the most notable thing is that they have a gluten-free pizza dough which I think is the best in all of Verona. Well done!
Very nice place. We went there because of the gluten-free menu and we were not disappointed because a person with celiac disease could eat there. We didn't have high expectations, but the food was tasty and the prices were similar to those in Verona. Hassle-free communication in English. Reservation recommended!
They advertise with gluten free pizza’s, but they in fact have not. Gluten free pasta takes 30 minutes. You have to pay upfront. It turns out to be incredibly salty. We had were 2 and had separate meals.
Well-kept and clean place, panoramic view of the Arena. We had already been and it was a pleasure to return, varied menu and the idea of adding places to visit nearby was much appreciated!!
Very courteous and helpful waitress.
The dessert for celiacs was a real surprise, perhaps the only complaint was that the crumbled and slightly more abundant almonds would have integrated better with the dark chocolate mousse!
Overall it was a pleasant and tasty experience we will be back!!!!
Starter: Vegetarian antipasti - unseasoned, partly raw, loveless, level at Leipzig's Vegetable Allerlei
Pizzas: unseasoned to tasteless, some dough still raw. The gluten-free base was a very bad finished product
Service: ok
Conclusion: Better not to go. We definitely cannot understand where such a good rating comes from and are absolutely disappointed. We decided to forego dessert and get some delicious ice cream elsewhere
Pizza by the slice with different flavors. Abundant toppings. Deep soft pizza. Possibility to customize flavours, with a wide choice including gluten-free. The ladies are always very kind and for an unspecified amount they also offer a drink! To try
I went to this restaurant specifically for their famous cutlets with gluten-free options. I booked, warning that I was celiac, and when I arrived they told me that the breading had run out and they were unable to do it. In addition, the environment was uncomfortable because the room was empty and the staff was there pressuring us to leave, making us feel uncomfortable and in a hurry to eat while staying there for less than an hour.
magnificent cook, meat that doesn't require a knife to cut, soft as butter. gluten-free options, even packaged bread so that there is no contamination. I've been there several times and we promise we'll be back! Thank you for the service received today, a very special day for me. 🤗
Lovely restaurant offering a nice selection of dishes, most of which are traditional of this area. They could accommodate gluten free needs and the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional.
So so nice. Really helpful for gluten free (senza glutine), delicious pasta, bread basket, and dessert. Service great, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere
I went here to eat on a Wednesday evening. Small place, with just a few tables and a very intimate and pleasant atmosphere.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Really excellent food, however - after notifying me that I have celiac disease - they didn't bring me any gluten-free creakers or breadsticks (despite the gluten-free symbol on some dishes on the menu) and for such an "In" place I would have expected at least something packaged for those with intolerance/allergy or celiac disease. Furthermore, on the dessert menu there were several desserts marked "gluten-free", but to my question about which ones I could take the waitress replied "maybe only the sorbet".
Also, although the food was really good, the prices are a little above average in my opinion.
Taking one dish and dividing three side dishes and three desserts, five people spent 44 euros each.
For the rest everything was fine and I would go back. However, greater availability of gluten-free products (at least packaged snacks to avoid contamination).
I ate here for lunch, risotto with amarone, nothing to say, very good. With the rice I ask for gluten-free bread, as I am celiac. They bring me the first sandwich, good, but on the second sandwich I notice green spots. I ask the people who were with me at the table and we agree that it was mold. I tell the waitress what I had noticed and I am only offered more bread. Another waiter later explains to me that it was millet, present in the ingredients, but it clearly wasn't, as the stains on the bread were green and black. Before paying, the owner told me that he had checked and that those stains were not mold but actually millet (pity that millet is yellow and not green), and that if I wanted I could check the bag in the kitchen. I explain to him my experience with gluten-free bread which molds very quickly, which happens especially if a little air enters the package, but nothing, the gentleman replies in a rude and haughty manner seeing that he was dealing with a lass. I wasn't even offered a coffee or simply an apology for the misunderstanding since for them it was better. Stains that were not present on the first sandwich among the rest. I was sorry because the place is very nice, but not up to the level of the staff, given the bad manners and the respect that was not shown.
I went with some friends thinking of finding some gluten-free alternative that is now present in every place. They had neither pasta, nor pizza, nor baked potatoes nor even a packet of crackers or biscuits. I had to settle for a very poor and very expensive salad. The only beautiful thing was the view of the city
We had a person with gluten and lactose intolerance, so it was really difficult to find a place where to find pasta to eat. We called the restaurant and the owner treated us really good. When we arrived, she recognized us and guided us with all the food without gluten and lactose. Besides, she gave us non-gluten bread. The food was good but the attention and service was, no doubt, the best!!
Excellent food, courteous staff, modern and sober environment. The attention to the quality of the ingredients and preparation is commendable. Gluten-free dishes also available.
Excellent Tratorria well away from tourism. Brasserie style decor, lots of light.
Beautiful menu of typical dishes with good local ingredients, presented with love by the service.
The veal liver is excellent.
Interesting choice of wines, bottles presented at the entrance.
Attentive and very efficient service.
Gluten-free ones are very well treated.
Live piano music and singing over dinner really lifted the vibe of the place and made our experience quite special (not sure if that happens every night). Food was good and reasonably priced. Interestingly enough - we were expecting standard bread before our meal but instead received a big plate full of raw vegetables. Quite odd but a short relief from all the gluten in Italy :)
We went to leave the rental car and since it was time to eat, we looked for a place nearby to eat and we found this pizzeria that had very good reviews.
As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a very nice man who spoke to us in Spanish when he detected that we were not from there. He brought us the letter and was very kind to us. My two friends ordered pizzas and I checked out gluten-free options. But unfortunately for me, the only thing I could have on the menu were the salads. Everything was quite delicious and good value for money. Before we left, the man treated us to some shots of limoncello.
The food is delicious and since they also cater for gluten intolerant people, I really liked it. The staff is very polite and courteous. I would stay here again anytime
