Amici

Amici is definitely a hidden gem within Coleford. This Italian restaurant within a standalone building serves up and impressive range of foods that cater to a myriad of dietary preferences and intolerances. Among them include gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan options. While there is no gluten free pizza base, there was the option (clearly labeled) to exchange regular pasta for gluten free pasta. I personally did not do this, as the gluten free pasta option was penne, of which I am not a fan (especially if the dish usually calls for an entirely different shape). I do appreciate the inclusion, however. I was told the (gluten filled) carbonara was good, but the bacon used wasn’t good what they preferred. I ordered the Stinco Di Agnello (slow cooked lamb shank) which was naturally flourless (and also asked for it to made for a gluten sensitive individual). This was accommodated without any issues. The lamb itself was cooked beautifully; it practically fell off the bone. The sauce and vegetables were also delicious, albeit a bit salty, but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and finished every last bit of it. Overall, Amici is probably the best restaurant in Coleford. I appreciate their ability and easier to cater to a wide variety of diners, and you should definitely check it out if you’re in the area!

Lovely restaurant with excellent beautifully presented food, super service, and a great atmosphere for 6.30 on a Tuesday evening. My partner is coeliac, and there is a vast choice of gluten-free options (with the exception of the pizza) , our waiter went through all the choices and explained everything, which reassured my partner .

Lovely evening was had by all. The food is delicious. Decent portions. The menu is extensive and most of it (apart from pizzas) can be produced Gluten Free. As a Coeliac sufferer I can heartily recommend.
