A nice, well-stocked store selling gluten-free products and more. It is located a few minutes walk from the Rivanazzano spa. Excellent gastronomy to enjoy something good on site or take away. I recommend it.
We ate well with average prices. They are also equipped for gluten-free, too bad they didn't have desserts for lunch to satisfy us. Otherwise friendly staff and quick service.
Being celiac, I contacted the place in advance asking for information and, despite the lack of a separate kitchen, they reassured me by telling me about gluten-free bread, AIC certification and a separate oven, only the fresh ones could be contaminated. Once I arrived for dinner, together with some colleagues, apart from the empty and cold place, I noticed that the menu only contains food with gluten.
A game of continuous contradictions begins:
1) I reiterate my celiac disease to the staff and first, they tell me that they are certified then, based on "how they were instructed", they are obliged to inform me that there is a risk of contamination (I point out that if there is certification, there should be no possibility of contamination but I move on);
2) immediately afterwards they ask me if I am intolerant or allergic. I repeat again that I am celiac but there is nothing to be done, they insist on the possibility of contamination (not well-educated staff);
3) "separate oven" in which bread was heated meant the same oven but on different levels;
4) as an order I ask for the least contaminated food possible, they recommend cold cuts because they are "still closed and sealed in their packaging" (I explain that the problem of gluten, in this case, shifts to the methods of production and conservation of food and not so much on the open or closed packaging, but I move forward);
5) they confirmed to me that the kitchen was clean as no dish had yet been served and that they would have spoken to the chef to give me further information, warning him to have him prepare my dish first and then that of the others, to avoid contamination.
Well, I never heard anything more about the chef (among other things, my colleagues' dishes arrived first, including cut bread).
6) my two small sandwiches arrive, I ask again if the chef had been notified and they tell me that my dish came out last only to have them all come out together but in reality it was made first (I remain with the benefit of the doubt and eat).
I am also disappointed by the portions in general (they are not at all like the ones in the photo, I would highly recommend updating the site and the Google page). The others take a sandwich (classic loaf) and two small tomini with a microscopic portion of fish and chips. All this for around 25/30 euros each and a return home with an empty stomach. I'm sorry but we're definitely not there.

Refined restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is designed to satisfy every palate and gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan variants are always available. Bread and focaccia are homemade, as are fresh pasta and desserts. Refined wine list.
Beautiful restaurant immersed in a magnificent and vast well-kept garden. Excellent traditional dishes with great care in preparation. Excellent, friendly and precise service. Possibility of gluten-free preparations. The value for money is also good. Definitely worth trying.
