A true pearl for those with celiac disease, but not only. At the Locanda Nord Est I found a special welcome and a cuisine that makes everyone feel included, without compromising on taste. The fresh gluten-free pasta, homemade by hand, is simply spectacular: it's hard to believe it's gluten-free, it's so good.
The risottos are also excellent, creamy and well-balanced in flavour, perfect for those who love traditional cuisine done properly. A place that takes care of every detail, where you can return with pleasure - and total serenity - even for us celiacs.
Disappointing experience.
Today for lunch we ordered a menu, a gluten-free pizza and a hamburger for a child. We were told that the burger was only available in the evening, when it is on the menu. I kindly asked to check with the kitchen if it was possible to prepare it anyway, but the chef, with just 20 seats, replied no because there were no chips.
At that point, we canceled the order and ordered a pizza with the same chips that were available anyway. Inflexible service management and staff not up to the task of a restaurant business.
It's a pizzeria where you can find many quality pizzas, I often choose it because I find the lactose-free mozzarella and the gluten-free dough and that's no small feat... as far as the restaurant is concerned, you can wander there too. For desserts... well, Giorgia is superb, she prepares delicious cakes and the portions are always large. To book, either call a little in advance or you risk not finding a table.
Sometimes it happens to be in the center of Varese and have dinner in this place as it is very strategic from this point of view.
The restaurant has a modern and welcoming environment, with a refined design that combines industrial and traditional elements. It is suitable for both quick lunches and dinners with friends.
The selection of pizzas is wide and with light and digestible doughs, including gluten-free ones and with alternative flours such as kamut.
In addition to pizzas, appetizers, salads and artisanal desserts are available.
The place is large and clean and there are generally seats available. The price is average for the category and the staff is very kind.
EXCELLENT for Romantic Candlelight Dinners and you have the possibility to choose between cuisine from the à la carte menu or pizza.
In both cases also for Celiacs both pizza and pasta (as well as the rest) and desserts.
Cozy restaurant with good food. Also suitable for celiacs (call first to specify). Few parking spaces in front, you can park alternatively at the "Le Corti" car park
I was at a friends house and we got takeaway: gluten-free pizza, gluten-free bread and cake, all delicious! truly congratulations! Too bad it's far from my house.
Trattoria del Municipio is a small pearl for those looking for gluten-free dishes, with homemade pasta and bread. The restaurant, typical and welcoming, has an intimate and quiet atmosphere, with a few tables which guarantee a relaxed experience. The dishes are always fresh and tasty, and the attention to detail makes every meal special. An excellent choice for those looking for gluten-free and quality cuisine!
The dishes are also good but charging 3.5 euros for a cover charge on Easter Monday to 9 people including 2 girls aged 9 and 3 boys aged 12 and 14 seems excessive to me! Furthermore, an increase of 3/4 euros per dish for gluten-free people also seems exaggerated to me! Water for 3 euros and 1 liter of cocacola for 7 + sweets for 7 euros!! in short, water + cover charge + gluten-free + 5 desserts cost 113 euros! You can no longer go to restaurants to eat!

For the first time for a dinner with my son's class. Nice place and suitable for the occasion, good service and the food isn't bad either. Possibility of dining even for gluten intolerants, they also pay attention to the service. The only flaw is that they are served last and since the others are the majority they have to wait a little too long.
Small takeaway pizzeria with a wood oven that also makes an excellent gluten-free pizza. I have tried others in the area but without much satisfaction, luckily I found this pizzeria.
The service is always courteous and fast. They also sell fresh non-alcoholic drinks.
We chose this restaurant for the possibility of a menu for celiacs... where they reassured us about the non-contamination of the products on the menu and in their preparation... there is also a gluten-free children's menu... otherwise average oww that we tried.
As a celiac, unfortunately, an experience not to be repeated. When booking I specified my celiac disease and was told that there was no problem: gluten-free pizza dough, organized with contaminations and two separate ovens for cooking!
It's a shame that, once we arrived on site, the situation was different. First of all, on the menu they write that the pizza bases are ideal for low-gluten diets, but not guaranteed for celiacs and this is already a contradiction with what was confirmed to me on the phone; they specify the presence of two separate ovens when this is not true at all because they only have one; they also didn't guarantee anything about contamination, I was told "but our chefs are careful"...
It is certainly not a place I recommend to people with celiac disease, I would have preferred clarity and honesty right from the start!
Nice, welcoming, competent and kind staff. It is the first time that I have found a part of the menu dedicated to celiacs with various proposals. Excellent, I will definitely return when it reopens
A well-kept place with a familiar flavour. The owner is a very charismatic and affable person. As for the gluten-free options, it was possible to eat all the main courses as well as the side dishes and pizza.
The pizza is not the usual frozen base but is made by a laboratory from which they obtain their supplies. You can select the ingredients on the standard menu and the kitchen then adapts the gluten-free base based on your request.
They also have a very good gluten-free craft beer produced in Veneto.
The prices are really very honest.
Super recommended.
Sometimes choosing a good pizzeria is difficult, but this evening we found a pizzeria also for celiacs that deserves a 💯.
The pizzas are really special and the owners are really good and very knowledgeable in giving advice.
I don't want to convince you but you have to go and try it.
The place is called the pizzaria, via Varese 60 in Gallarate

A security.
I would only review the ventilation of the kitchen, in the adjacent room there is the risk of being inundated with very strong odors from the kitchen, and of taking them home
Excellent attention to gluten free
My wife's favorite restaurant. The pizza is really good, even in the gluten-free version which few people still make.
I have to go back to try the rest.
Really nice and helpful staff and Top owner!!
Not recommended for celiacs and/or intolerant people.
Table of several people, two celiacs, both of whom felt sick after dinner, despite the wait staff telling us and reassuring us (after asking several times) that there was no contamination (even for pizzas and other dishes that could be made in the gluten-free version).
I find it very unfair to risk making intolerant people feel sick: 2 people at a table is not a coincidence.
Excellent pizza and pasta. Very long list of great pizza options. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere inside a historic stable. They also cater for gluten free pizza (pizza senza glutine) which was fantastic. Best pizza in a long time.

There were 6 of us for lunch plus two little girls. A friend of ours with celiac disease. We had a great meal, the delicious and easy to digest pizza with unique dough! Our celiac friend had her pizza with special dough and cooked in a separate oven!
The girls and others ate burgers and cuisine.
All truly delicious and a further appreciation for the cleanliness and order of the place and the kindness of the owner and staff. We were treated like we were at home. We will definitely be back!
Il Canneto is a family environment where you feel at home. The owner is attentive to all your needs and the pizzas are light and tasty. You can choose between different doughs with first choice flours, including gluten-free ones. I RECOMMEND IT 💯
Good hotel and restaurant. Good base if you need to go to Malpensa airport (however note it is 1hr train to Milan city)
The hotel is directly above the restaurant but very quiet. It is clean and air conditioned. Staff are helpful and friendly and tended to requests quickly. Free shuttle to the airport (15min ride). The room however is quite dark and could do with better lighting. Breakfast is great and has variety of good quality pastries, cold meats and cheeses, fruit and hot bacon and eggs with gluten free options too.
The restaurant is fantastic. We loved the pastas. The pizzas are ok - the dough didn’t have enough chewiness or crunch. Pistachio cake is a must!! Staff are welcoming and friendly. Gets busy throughout the night so recommend booking.
I highly recommend everyone to try the piadine, even gluten-free which gives added value... The owner is uniquely helpful and courteous and is also nice... It was a pleasant and satisfying experience. We will definitely return when passing through those parts.
Excellent pizza, excellent quality Neapolitan products and dishes! It's been a long time since I ate a good sausage with broccoli. Not to mention the babà and pastiera were DELICIOUS! Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent location in the centre. Fast service and good quality/price. Small "flaw" is that they don't have gluten-free pizza dough. For the rest, Recommended!!
Tavern/Pub well known in the area, ideal place for a classic evening of hamburgers and pint of beer. The menu is vast and offers many other dishes in addition to burgers (which are by default served with a side of potatoes): there are various appetizers including fried foods and cured meats, Bavarian dishes, single dishes and even vegetarian or gluten-free options. The first time I went I tried one of their double meat hamburgers and I must say that it was really very good and satisfying, it deserved it!
This time we opted for jalapenos with cheddar and fried onion rings as an aperitif (good but "laboratory" products, frozen) and as main courses we took a chicken with herbs with a side of potatoes and a Rösti with radicchio. Very good and spicy cockerel, while the Rösti was unfortunately soaked in oil and was really difficult to eat.
However, it remains an excellent place on the lake shore where you can spend an evening in company, eating and drinking properly, also because the price is really excellent (considering that cover charge and service are already included in the menu prices).
