I went to this place at the invitation of my students for the class dinner. A colleague of mine and I are celiac. In the afternoon,
she calls to inquire: we are told that the pizza is cooked in the same oven as the others and that they cannot guarantee the absence of contamination, but that they can prepare a plate of cured meats and vegetables.
We arrive, ready to order, and choose the most prudent option: vegetables. After a few minutes, however, the owner arrives and tells us that that is not safe either and that we should have given more notice. But... hadn't we already done so?
At that point I ask for clarification on the pizza and am told that "some celiac customers have had no problems, others have been sick, but between pizza and vegetables... pizza is the safest". Surreal. I decide to take a risk and order a gluten-free pizza and beer. My colleague, rightly, chooses not to eat anything.
I order a pizza indicated at 9 euros on the menu. When it came time to pay, surprise: the gluten-free menu that included a pizza (contaminated) and a drink cost 23 euros. When asked for explanations, the answer was that "the gluten-free menu costs more". Too bad there was neither a dedicated menu nor a truly safe service, nor attention nor training. In essence, the gluten-free writing only serves to extort more money
The most serious thing is not even the price, but the approach: in 2025, it is unacceptable that there are still places that treat celiac disease as if it were a personal preference or something "variable from person to person". It is a medical condition. And in such a large place, it would take very little to organize and guarantee at least one safe option.
But the scandalous thing is not giving a person the opportunity to peacefully experience an evening in company. This is not acceptable. It is not welcoming. It is not respectful. It is simply SHAMEFUL!
