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)
Very good pizza, even for celiacs and lactose intolerant.
The pizzas are certainly not cheap, but the products are quality.
The service is fast and friendly.
The location is quite convenient.
Friendly and attentive staff.
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
Good pizzas, including the gluten-free one. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean premises, very crowded on Sunday evening. We suffered a bit from the heat. The idea of two open kitchens is beautiful. Pets allowed, with all the pros and cons.
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.
Pizzeria restaurant of the Associaz. Italiana Celiachia circuit, half an hour from Turin. They make pizza and fresh pasta, also gluten-free. I ate a plate of fresh pasta with calamari and datterini tomatoes, gluten-free, very very good. The SG bread was also amazing. The Sicilian cannoli were also excellent. The only flaw was the environment, with the air conditioning off and very noisy. The staff was very kind. A place definitely recommended for the quality of the raw materials
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.
Nice place in the village, welcoming, good food, suitable for celiacs.
Friendly staff, ready to answer any questions.
I will return, I recommend it to everyone
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 :)
We chose this pizzeria on the advice of friends with dietary needs and we had a great time.
FOOD: the pizza was a hybrid between Neapolitan (puffy crust) and crunchy, salty dough. The proposals on the menu were limited but particular. We took a simple but very good farinata, a Geoffrey with meatballs in sauce (very tasty) and one which was the pizza of the month with potatoes, smoked provola and porchetta (even more memorable).
SERVICE: the owner, or rather the one who served us, was very nice, the only flaw was the 40 minute wait with the place half empty (it was a Wednesday evening).
ENVIRONMENT: the place was under renovation, so I cannot judge the room in which we ate because it would not reflect normality. It was perhaps a little cold.
BATHROOM: needs a little more attention.
NB: the one who took the gluten-free dough was very impressed by its goodness.
Very nice atmosphere!! Delicious food and portions of the right size. Excellent for those who are celiac. Kind and helpful the guys of the service just a little slow, but I am used to eating very fast so I always find they go slowly everywhere.
Absolutely recommended!!
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!
We went to this restaurant for a dinner with friends. The wait was quite long — over 30 minutes — but we weren’t in a particular hurry, so it wasn’t a problem. The owner was very friendly and attentive, especially towards one of our celiac guests, who felt welcomed and really appreciated the gluten-free pizza.
Unfortunately, the bad news came with the second course. My husband ordered grilled fish and left me the tentacles, which we thought were octopus. At the first taste, I immediately noticed an unpleasant taste and an unusual consistency, so much so that I suspected that the fish wasn’t fresh. Another person at the table had the same impression.
When my husband reported this to the waiter, the owner promptly intervened, explaining that it was actually squid and that the taste was due to its natural intensity. Having said that, she left without leaving room for a reply or further explanation.
I was sincerely surprised by this attitude. I know the taste of calamari well and what I tasted did not seem normal to me, neither in taste nor in consistency. A little more openness to comparison would have been enough to avoid this unpleasant epilogue.
A shame, because the place has potential - courteous service, attention to intolerances - but the way in which this situation was handled left a sense of disappointment.
We went to dinner at this restaurant on the suggestion of a friend, I must say it was a real surprise, being gluten intolerant I was already ready to eat the classic things that you are absolutely sure you are not in and instead I discovered from a very kind, super helpful and prepared waitress that the restaurant is certified gluten free and offers fresh pasta, bread, breadsticks, desserts all gluten free and all very good, (those who eat gluten free know what I mean). We ate very well and without any consequences, traditional dishes presented in a very pleasant way (the eye also wants its part) the grand finale was the zabaglione made on the spot a spectacle, good value for money, we will certainly be back.
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
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
With 18 euros (plus cover charge and drinks) there is the possibility of doing this pizza tour...
But be careful, IT'S NOT THE USUAL pizza tour!
There is a variety of pizzas and a variety of truly impressive doughs. There are not only the classic "simple" pizzas that usually arrive to make you full and then they send you the special ones, but immediately pizzas arrive with very good combinations. details and even particular doughs, the turmeric or charcoal dough or the spirulina dough and also the fennel dough, just to name a few...
And then also seasoned well, cooked excellently.
The waiters were also very kind and very helpful. We happened to request some particular flavor and the availability of the pizza chef. We were satisfied...
What to say, it's not the first time I've gone but I was very impressed, highly recommended.
ALSO GLUTEN-FREE PIZZAS
Celiac friendly
