A restaurant with excellent food and many gluten-free options. The family atmosphere is very pleasant. We ordered Pasta alla Norma and gluten-free Tortellini.
A superb experience at this restaurant, which offers gluten-free options with Sicilian specialties, from starters to desserts.
Very good, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices.
I recommend it.
Even though we have been customers for a long time, last night apart from the appetizers, I ate a horrible gluten-free pizza, the edge was very high, about 4 cm, the raw food was inedible and the pizza inside was also raw and tiny in size. I complained about everything, and the answer was we will tell the pizza chef to lower the edge. In addition, for each course they put a supplement of 2 euros for gluten-free, not only for the pizza which I can understand, but for each appetizer including the sorbet a celiac pays 2 euros more per course, shameful.
Delicious food and excellent variety of food. Including desserts.
But the staff isn’t trained!! The waiter brought my gluten free pizza in the same hand with gluten pizza directly touching it!!
Plate with gluten pizza was on my plate with gluten free pizza
Gluten-free, no problem!
I had spaghetti with lobster from the daily special. It was super delicious and very plentiful. There was a whole lobster on the plate, with plenty of boned pieces in the creamy sauce. Luckily, I didn't have an appetizer, so it's a shame I missed the desserts. A sommelier comes to the table and annoys me with the wine selection. For this quality, the price is more than justified. Highly recommended; please make a reservation in advance.
An experience that goes beyond a simple meal, each dish tells a story with authentic flavors and attention to detail that conquers from the first taste, everything is really excellent, high quality food, the welcome was amazing, very attentive to our needs, the gluten-free pizza is crumbly and delicious, never eaten like this, everything is truly wonderful, I recommend it to everyone to try it
Small but nice place, welcoming atmosphere, we took 1 gluten-free appetizer, 1 gluten-free pizza with tomato, buffalo mozzarella, bacon and parmesan flakes, and 2 with gluten, 1 Zarina and 1 Margherita. As far as I'm concerned it was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever tasted before... absolutely satisfied
Very nice place with outdoor tables and indoor area, we were there for a pizza to celebrate a colleague's retirement. I found a good choice in the proposals also original, various types of dough also for celiacs. The service was impeccable, little waiting good coordination in the release of the dishes. The place is very nice and the food is good, I recommend it
An experience to remember – thank you “La Dolce Vita in Giardino”!
We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant and we can only express our gratitude for the care and love with which we were welcomed. We were a “beautifully complicated” table, composed of 12 people, including one with gluten intolerance — but our every need was listened to, understood and satisfied with extraordinary kindness and professionalism.
The staff literally pampered us from start to finish, going beyond all expectations. Always smiling, proactive, available, very prepared. The service was punctual, impeccable, with a genuine friendliness that made us feel truly at home.
The food? Excellent, both in quality and presentation. The location is splendid, with attention to detail, and you can breathe an atmosphere of passion and dedication everywhere. The owner was also present, precise, attentive: a clear sign of a management that deeply loves what it does.
“La Dolce Vita in Giardino” is much more than a restaurant: it is a place where you are welcomed with the heart. We will definitely be back. Congratulations to all the staff!
Very atmospheric and pleasant place, in the very center. The choice fell on it, because of the presence of a choice of allergens (decaf coffee, gluten-free, etc.). Everything was very tasty, clean and pleasant service. The place is not cheap, breakfast for two was offended by 73 euros (rather it is our fault, since we wanted to try everything, tomorrow we will definitely come back and I think we will cut the bill in half, since we will already clearly know what we want). I highly recommend
Disappointing experience overall
We walked around 40 minutes to get to the restaurant, so we were really looking forward to it – but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The staff were quite rude, and when we sat under a fan (it was hot), we were asked to move.
The food was just okay. The carbonara was extremely salty, and the pistachio pasta with burrata came with a tiny burrata – not what you'd expect for the price. Also worth noting: there’s an extra €2 charge per dish for gluten-free options, and they don’t serve café americanos.
Wouldn’t go out of my way for it again.
Verdechiaro is a true gem! Every visit is met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a sense of care that makes dining here a pleasure. The chef’s creativity shines through in every dish beautifully presented, full of flavor, and thoughtfully prepared.
We especially appreciate the wide range of gluten-free and vegan options, all part of their commitment to healthy, nourishing cuisine. It’s clear that quality and inclusivity are at the heart of everything they do, including beautifully designed spaces featuring light green (verde chiaro) items.
Thank you to the whole team at Verdechiaro for consistently delivering such a delightful experience!
The terrace is a fantastic place. The staff was immediately friendly and accommodating. The food at this restaurant is enhanced in preparation and presentation, with special attention to gluten free. We will be returning Sunday evening for our last night here in Sicily and to enjoy their fantastic sushi.
Excellent gluten-free food with a wide choice, the tuna meatball and the artichoke caponata are fantastic but also everything else. Friendly and welcoming service. Highly recommended.
Amazing food, fair prices, cute interior, and they had gluten free options for every food! Looks like the locals come here too, it is always a good sign 😊
The kingdom of toast!
A modern and informal place, perfect for a quick but tasty break. Wide selection of stuffed toasts, also with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Fresh ingredients and original combinations. Quick service and honest prices.
Very good gluten-free fried fish, well made. In general good food, honest prices, very courteous waiters, nice place. Very recommended for those with celiac disease (and not only) who want to eat well!
Very friendly service. There's oat milk and gluten-free toast and a gluten-free muffin. The lattemaciato with oat milk was very good. There is also brown sugar, which tastes delicious with the milk foam. I'd love to come back.
We had a great experience!
The food was great!
Sea Bream is a must try imo, so is the clam pasta!
They have gluten free options, which is a big plus for us!
When we got in (lunch time), it was packed with locals. Which was a great sign. We were not disappointed.
We would come back to try other dishes, if we have enough time.
English: We went to the tavern for dinner, the staff were very kind and super helpful in explaining the dishes. One of us was celiac but had no problem because they have gluten-free pasta, the same for main courses and appetizers. Phenomenal food, pasta full of sauce and really generous portions: a first course was enough for two people, but because of the goodness we literally cleaned the plates (even though in our opinion they were 180/200 grams of pasta). We also had white wine and mixed appetizers with olives, caponata, sweet and sour pumpkin and milk croquettes, all delicious. I highly recommend the place to anyone passing through Palermo also for the characteristic Sicilian atmosphere given by the furniture that I found to be the icing on the cake to the delicious food. For 4 of us we spent about €20 each with a large appetizer, 1 enormous first course each, wine, water and coke, a price that I find very fair for the good food and service offered

This restaurant does not appear to be open at 12 midday as it says on the website. We arrived at 12 only to be told it didn’t open until 12.15. We could have booked online for 12 so I suspect it was just laziness. Perhaps update your online opening times or tell your staff to let people in at 12. Can’t comment on food which did appear to have gluten free options.
Title: Never Again
I'm sorry but we didn't have dinner with family, we opted for cuisine instead of pizza but it was disappointing, flat and at an unjustifiable cost. Advice for restaurateurs... Rethink the kitchen menu and remove the things you can't handle (fish). Have a policy about what the season offers. Throw the pesto in the jar for goodness sake!!! Positive note: the gluten-free pizza dough is really good! What a pity!
I hope that even if negative this review can be appreciated in a constructive way, I gave it 3 and no less because in my opinion the pizza part is good but I don't think I will return to try it. Never say never! Friendly staff open to... Advice!
At Tannura we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, an absolutely happy choice. A refined and elegant environment, excellent food, tasty, well-prepared, top quality ingredients, attentive service to every need, as a celiac I had the opportunity to taste the same menu as the guests and it is not always so obvious. We sincerely thank the chef, Mr. Trapani and his sister Elisa who with her smile and her sweetness did everything possible to make this evening unforgettable
In a rather particular location you find yourself enjoying simple delicacies, served with particular and refined details, accompanied by kindness, professionalism and a wine list for true connoisseurs.
A special mention to the gluten free
To be tried with your eyes closed...
A place found by chance in the historic center of Palermo, but a little away from the main streets, due to the possibility of eating some gluten-free dishes. I must say that it met expectations: I ate a delicious mussel soup (served with gluten-free bread on the side) and spaghetti with sea urchins, with good seasoning but unfortunately a little overcooked. Honest bill and generous portions, fairly fast service, air conditioning throughout.
We had doubts before entering thinking it was a tourist trap. Instead, with 30 euros we ate and drank well. I have celiac disease and they were very attentive. Friendly staff. I would go back.
Except for president.
Stunning place: truly Sicilian dishes, very fresh fish, fresh pasta also for celiacs and an uncommon kindness from all the staff. Well done Salvo and all his staff. I forgot: the cellar is extraordinary.
Go there. We will be back.

If you are looking for a guaranteed gluten free meal that is top quality and delivered with great service and English speaking laughs then this place is it. Booked for incorrect time but still sealed us then served anything my wife wanted with gluten free amendments. Perfect.
Very nice place, tidy, clean, very professional staff, particular attention to the waitress Francesca who, being Celiac, was able to recommend me a lunch worth 10.... all delicious, definitely recommended to be done again 👍👏
For a family event, we went opting for an aperitif.
Definitely a beautiful and suggestive location.
The welcome inside the place was really poor, you were not looked after, you didn't know where to go.
The table service was terrible: first of all the waitress dropped about twenty spritz, which greatly extended the wait to be served.
The wait for the food was interminable, and then they were served disjointedly, half the table was eating, the other half was watching, this meant that the subsequent platters arrived bare of food, just to give the illusion of eating.
There were also two people at the table with special needs: a celiac and a vegan.
The celiac only ate a salad with a little pink sauce. The vegan a norma overcooked and inedible.
The price for this terrifying experience was truly disproportionate, a disgrace.
Terrible place, absolutely not recommended.
Very nice and well-kept place. Attentive, kind service and also available for food intolerances and gluten-free.
Dishes that are beautiful to look at and delicious on the palate, well prepared, tasty and with well-valued local products. Excellent wine list. 5 stars absolutely deserved!
Good food, nothing to say, welcoming place but there are things to improve.
Service a little poor, non-existent waiters who you have to ask for things several times and above all look for them because they never come out to ask (only one was polite but still not attentive). Another flaw: Prices too high in my opinion. Another piece of advice when offering gluten-free food and I'm very happy that there is attention to this, it would be nice to also have an option for dessert, simple ice cream would be enough to make us happy.
Cozy atmosphere, a bit mountain hut style. The staff are fantastic. It feels at home! Unfortunately, being celiac, I cannot taste the food, but they always try to accommodate me with cocktails, studying solutions suitable for my pathology. Thanks always! 🩷
PS. A real shame not to be able to taste their dishes, because they look amazing! The pizza is mouth watering and the meat is no different!
Lots of gluten free choices (fish burger, panelle, dessert) much appreciated. Smiling and kind staff, tables overlooking the sea perfect for the summer.
Ancient bathing establishment in Mondello…Unique location
Very select environment
Superlative food like the cellar
Excellent service and attention, even I have celiac disease.
The bathrooms and furnishings need to be modernized!
