Locanda Nord Est

A true pearl for those with celiac disease, but not only. At the Locanda Nord Est I found a special welcome and a cuisine that makes everyone feel included, without compromising on taste. The fresh gluten-free pasta, homemade by hand, is simply spectacular: it's hard to believe it's gluten-free, it's so good. The risottos are also excellent, creamy and well-balanced in flavour, perfect for those who love traditional cuisine done properly. A place that takes care of every detail, where you can return with pleasure - and total serenity - even for us celiacs.

A small place in the center of Gallarate. Parking is a little difficult to find, but if you are among the first lucky ones, a couple are available in front of the restaurant. The place looks a little old fashioned. Good selection of starters, their bread served warm was good. All gluten-free but with the possibility of asking for "normal" too. The pici with wild boar sauce and the ravioli with red prawn are very good. The dessert menu was also appreciated. Overall it was a good experience.

It was truly a blast from the past. I am truly happy to have returned to this restaurant and to have experienced the same emotions I felt when I came here with my family. It was one of the few restaurants to offer gluten free dishes and, to this day, I am happy that it has remained that way and has further specialized. The pici cacio e pepe, with lime zest, are excellent: creamy and tasty. The "Apulian risotto" is also highly appreciated. The ribeye was spectacular, cooked perfectly and accompanied by baked potatoes and vegetables. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we were full and didn't order dessert, but we will definitely return to taste that inviting cake with a warm heart. Price inclined with what we tasted and the waiter friendly and kind. It was a great evening, we are already planning to return.
