It's ok but definitely not the best gluten free food I had. I had what they called there triangle pasta and it was very aldente, a super small portion, I literally only got 4-5 pieces for €18. Plus I asked the waitress if it had meat inside, she said yes but it didn't, which is fine but give me the correct information when asked about the ingredients. I was most disappointed by the tiramisu, the biscuits where hard and nit soaked as they're supposed to be.

Parsit is the place that every celiac would like to have in their city. A welcoming and clean place, with a wide menu, the owners are simply fantastic, their smiles warm the heart! I went there two days in a row during a short stay in Bologna and I tried the traditional Kebab, the one with Pastrami and a plate of Falafel. The products are very good, the portions are generous and the attention to gluten-free is very high; although the place does not have a separate kitchen I have not had any problems in any of my visits. If you are in Bologna and above all you are celiac, this stop is a must, you will not regret it!

This restaurant was recommended by The Guardian and it's reviews were good. We arrived without a reservation and were able to sit outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had gluten free pasta Ragu which was very tasty and pasta cooked perfectly. My husband had sausage pasta which was also nice but pasta was a little too al dente but still tasty. I didn't fancy any of the desserts as only the chocolate cake was gluten free and I'm not a fan of chocolate cake. They did offer to do me a bowl of strawberries, which were delicious and very large portion. Wine and local beer very good and service good. Bill came to €50. Would definitely recommend.

Really lovely cafe, lush cosy queer-friendly vibes. Soft jazz in the background. Lots of locals (probably students) quietly working on laptops to one side of the cafe. We had a delicious savoury tart (vegan and gluten free) as their kitchen is closed between 3.30 and 7pm so couldn’t have proper lunch, but there is counter cakes and tarts available when the kitchen is closed. Tasty kombucha options and they do matcha lattes which seem hard to across in Bologna. Great spot!
