Celiac friends, unite! I went to Aji Tei for lunch, greeted by smiling faces and about thirty disclaimers about the fact that they don't have a separate kitchen for us "lucky" ones and that therefore there was a risk of contamination. At the time I must admit that the sympathetic system was activated to make me flee, strong in the idea that the prospect of a night in excruciating pain was not so attractive, but considering that on the phone they had reassured me that they already had other celiac customers, I said to myself "is it possible that they all died without leaving a disgusting review? It seems absurd to me". So I sat down to order. People who cannot eat gluten have a separate menu (which you see in the photo) in red. Here in my opinion we need to put our hand on our conscience and, aware that the cuisine is the same, try to order only what can be less easily contaminated, such as Hosomaki, nigiri, sashimi, gunkan or Temaki. To be even safer, I avoided sauces (like spicy) and all Uramaki. Despite being very sensitive to contamination, in the end I came out healthy as a (raw) fish. So, what can I say? We always come back to the same reasoning: is it worth spending 30 euros to eat a quarter of the menu that everyone else has? In my opinion, yes, especially if the rice is seasoned well and the fish is good. I hope they continue to pay attention to this aspect of gluten-free because it's not that complicated to make us happy

Probably one of the best all you can eat in Florence. Good quality and variety of dishes! I'll be back. They also offer an extensive gluten-free menu for those with celiac disease. The only flaw is the prices a little above average and at lunch the same prices as dinner; let's say that in any case this surplus in price is deserved for quality.
