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!!!
Definitely an excellent pizza restaurant for those with celiac disease
Prices a little higher than average but quality ingredients and good pizza that is crispy to the right point
Under the air conditioning you need to have an extra garment
100% gluten-free restaurant with very good pizza and focaccia dough! PI: I went there early and it filled up quickly, no terrace, no glass of wine (bottle yes)
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.
Great quick lunch, taste and tradition
We went to this place with some friends for a quick lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. We chose a full menu with sandwich, potatoes and beer: everything was very good!
I had the "FRESC TONNÈ" sandwich (€9.90) with Piedmontese raw meat, tuna sauce, rocket and cherry tomatoes: really tasty and gluten-free, great news for those with intolerances!
The service was quite fast, the style is that of a fast food, but with a touch of Piedmontese tradition that makes the difference.
I recommend it for those looking for a quick but quality lunch, with attention also to dietary needs.
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.
We wanted to try the pizza by having it delivered home. Pleasant discovery: good dough and ingredients. Even the gluten-free one, according to the celiac person who ate it, was very good.
Great place to have a nice lunch at the foot of the Mole Antonelliana, a very welcoming place full of colors.
We took a "SPICY" Toast and a "CUBAN GLUTEN FREE" with the addition of a portion of chips and 2 cans of water.
Both toasts were really excellent, especially the gluten free one!!
Really good chips, they are not the classic ones you find around in fact I really recommend a portion... Very tasty.
For a total of €21 for 2 people, sitting down for lunch.
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!
Normal thin pizza, acidic sauce, inedible gluten-free pizza, it looked like a stuffed, unleavened and stringy polenta piadina.
Non-existent service, we waited 45 minutes with the pizzeria empty and it was Saturday evening.
There wasn't even sparkling water, they had run out of gas.
The ashes of what Noah did years ago, with the magician Willy who cheered up the evening, while you waited to eat the pizza which was good....
I had already been to this place in the past with a celiac friend of mine as it offers various gluten free dishes.
The other times I always ate first courses (very good), while this time I opted for the hamburger.
It was an excellent choice as I tasted one of the best hamburgers of my life: special and exquisite bread, quality meat and two touches of genius that make this sandwich truly different: the patanegra lard and the cruschi pepper mayonnaise... They really delighted me!!
All accompanied by artisanal potato chips!
The friend was also very happy with the gluten free pizza.
Friendly staff, honest prices.
We 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!
As a celiac, I loved all the gluten free options, the restaurant is beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff was super friendly! I will definitely be back

Horrible quality food, and no I'm not exaggerating, my gluten-free piadina was poorly heated and the salmon inside seemed stale, my friend's seafood lasagna was probably frozen and was not heated well before being served, all water and raw prawns inside
I took photos because it was unpresentable
AIC informed place, no problem for celiacs. Good food, honest prices and possibility to sit outside. I had a plate of cheese frankfurters with bacon. The sauce they make is delicious. The only flaw, although not a serious one, is the presence of only one gluten-free beer (Daura), while there are now many others, even better than Daura and artisanal.

welcoming environment, helpful and friendly staff.
for me who am celiac a real SURPRISE, so many proposals all excellent and tasty!! The fried rice with shrimp and vegetables is truly special. highly recommended
Cozy place, varied menu that can also satisfy vegetarians, vegans and gluten intolerants. Attentive and quick service. However, there was a lot of confusion in the room which was noisy. Prices in line with similar restaurants in the area!
Excellent pizzeria with gluten-free pizza available (I'm hypersensitive and not celiac). Very friendly staff and excellent value for money. We recommend without hesitation!
REVIEW ONLY RELEVANT TO GLUTEN FREE. Reported as a gluten free place, two miserable desserts on display, only tasted the chocolate brownie, very expensive, very greasy and disgusting.
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!!
A huge thank you to Louana, for her time, her patience and her care with the explanations. Staff with very good English and great friendliness. Interesting dishes with a wide choice for vegetarians, vegans and gluten intolerants.
They offer 20% off if you come back a second time.
A magnificent discovery! Very knowledgeable about gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan. Excellent food. Knowledgeable staff who recommend the best combinations with sauces. I went with 2 other celiac girls and we had a great time. Finally a restaurant in Turin that knows well what contamination and gluten-free mean. Really very good. Very abundant dishes.
Almost the entire menu is available in a gluten-free version. I had the GF pad thai with medium shrimp and tofu. Excellent, I recommend it. I will return soon to try some desserts too. The girl at the cash register was really kind.
Fantastic! They have vegan options for burgers, smashed, mayo, cheddar... amazing that we have them and also delicious! Also gluten-free bread. The quality of the ingredients is evident. Only thing there was not a single fan inside so it was very hot. But for the food they make peace!!
Celiac friendly
