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.
It's a great restaurant, but it doesn't feel like Italy, from the music to the menu. It stands out for its gluten-free dishes, from pizzas to other dishes, and it usually receives a lot of people for this reason. It has an easily accessible English menu and they close relatively late in the city, which is a plus in the summer. We ordered a margherita pizza as a starter and two mains (carbonara and gnocchi bolognese), both very good, but I found the carbonara a little salty! In total, the cost is around 40 euros for a couple who don't drink wine.
Best pizzeria in the center of Verona hands down, variety of revealed regarding the pizza doughs possibility of gluten-free doughs.
Typical pizzas that a little more revisited always good and tasty.
Particular place, not a tavern, but very well-kept and studied.
Staff attentive to requests.

The service wasn't the best, and the gluten-free cones were very hard. We don't know if they were bad or if they were really that good. Very expensive for what they offer.
Excellent, nothing to complain about!!
Wide selection, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Quite a selection of beers, and wines too.
Good advice.
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!
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!!!!
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.
Had great gelato and great time. Asked about gluten free gelato, not only the had all flavors gluten free, they also had gluten free cones and when serving they took a clean spoon and use new pot to ensure no cross contamination. Last but not least, they had the best pistachio in the whole world
Loved this place! Came back a second time during our stay in Verona. The pesto pasta and the tiramisu were amazing! They do gluten free pasta, and the tiramisu is gluten free too! We brought our young kids and the staff were very accommodating and patient. Would definitely recommend!
They offer gluten-free bread but do not guarantee non-contamination, which is not an option for a celiac and causes various pain and problems. WE ARE TALK ABOUT A DISEASE! CELIAC DISEASE IS A DISEASE YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY REMOVE GLUTEN-FREE BREAD FROM THE MENU IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT
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.
Excellent ice-cream and sorbet selection, most (if not all) of which is gluten free. They take extra care when scooping the ice cream for gluten intolerant/celiac customers. Highly recommend!
Review written out of a vegans perspective:
The restaurant looks beautiful, traditional and especially attracts omnis with little breads with all kinds of spreads and hams they have in their bar.
I found one vegan option: pasta with vegetable ragu, dried tomatoes and a kind of pesto. It is normally with a whole wheat pasta but I asked for gluten free pasta and had it with gluten free spaghetti instead.
It looks simple but was extremely tasty and delicious. It is pricey though.
My husband had escargots and carpaccio and found it very tasty
We were looking for a place to eat that had a gluten-free alternative and by chance we ended up at this place. A complete success because we wanted to have pizza and the gluten-free one fit the bill without any problem. We ordered a gluten free Parmigiano and eggplant pizza and a Margherita. The dough was very rich and not heavy at all. We loved them and the value for money was good. Highlight the kindness of the staff who assisted us, they were very nice and attentive.
Typical, beautiful, organized tavern; top service, top dishes, top wine list!
I will return with the family.
Excellent management also for celiacs
Well done
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!!
I actually didn't dine in as there were a few options glutenfree, but with a risk of cross contamination,. Making a comment for those who want to go there but have heavy allergy, as it was marked as a glutenfree place, but is not really.
Really welcoming location.
For a Sunday lunch, 6 of us met.
As appetizers, we tried the cold cuts and cheese platters, accompanied by gardeners and mustards. Good.
The first courses are excellent: bigoli, tagliatelle and gnocchi, with horse ragù, duck for the first two, and with speck and zola for the thirds. Gluten free penne and horse ragout.
The fillet all'amarone is tender and balanced, and the Venetian-style liver with hot, grilled polenta is extremely good.
As a wine, an excellent Bardolino.
The location has tables on two levels. We with the baby and stroller were on the lower floor, but the time spent in the room was undeniably pleasant.
Friendly, affable room service managed by very kind staff.
The only flaw is the too long time between one course and another (especially between starters and first courses).
The price? Definitely normal. We spent around 27 euros per person (2 starters, 5 first courses, 2 second courses, 2 bottles of Bardolino, 2 of water, 5 coffees).
And last but not least the place is PET FRIENDLY
Recommended, Recommended.
Really good ice cream and coffee. Friendly staff and great prices. There were options for vegan and gluten free gelato which was also a real bonus.
We will return.
Excellent pastry shop, I liked the sweet and savory ones. Courteous staff. The internal garden is cute. Gluten-free croissant available. Central location
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
If you book in advance you might get lucky an get a table with a view, make sure you request it! They have gluten free pasta, I also suggest you get the shrimp tartar. (great mix of flavors, dark chocolate and pomegranate) very nice staff! Most of them spoke English and Spanish
