I have been going to this restaurant for many years and it has always been exceptional in everything: pizza, fish, desserts, service and also a fair bill for the high quality of the food. I have been gluten intolerant for 3 years and here is truly the best gluten-free pizza in Florence 😍 the gluten-free dough seems almost the same as that of a pizza with gluten. It is soft, but crunchy and digestible. Also noteworthy is the quality of all the foods and the raw fish! The staff and owner are very kind, attentive to the needs of each individual customer and always with a smile! Also recommended for birthdays!!!

Without beating around the bush, you eat well and they certainly have one of the best, if not the best, pizza in Florence (even for celiacs). The cost is definitely in line with what is offered and the staff is helpful and efficient. The place is nice, the only thing that didn't excite me (but it's a small thing) is the background music, a little loud and intrusive.

The food is good, the offer is wide and also includes sushi and slightly fusion dishes. But the portions are small and the costs are high. I don't know about the pizza because we didn't get it, the ones we saw passing by looked nice, Neapolitan style. They have the AIC certification but the waiters didn't seem up to par, they said that we could have gluten-free pizza and maybe something from the kitchen but they didn't rule out the risk of contamination. Those who have the AIC certification cannot make these speeches, evidently they were not trained well. The gluten-free dishes arrived on plates of the same color as the normal ones, fortunately everything went well but at the time we didn't feel so convinced.
