Top 25 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Explore in Bologna

Rocco Maiorano

We were looking for a solution for gluten free food in Bologna. The Vecchio Mercato restaurant met the requirements because it is an AIC certified restaurant. We came at different times for lunch. Let's start by saying that the pasta they offer is all homemade. There are appetizers, first and second courses, both meat and fish and finally also desserts and ice creams, always made by them and NOT packaged. We took some aubergine appetizers (croquettes, parmigiana and rolls) all with excellent flavor and tasty enough to make you want to have more. But let's go slowly. The first ones. The maccheroncini with bacon and the very tasty Bolognese balanzoni gave no hint of a different flavor compared to a dish made with classic flours. Huge portions!!!! Here too, for the flavor (and if there had been some room in the stomach) we would have taken another portion. The seconds. The bacon with a bed of polenta cooked to perfection, balanced in flavor and very tender meat, so much so that it could be cut with a fork and finally the Petroniana cutlet. Well, do you know ceramic trays? Well it was full of meat, here too cooked to perfection and loaded with ham (for those who know it, you know what I'm talking about) we struggled to finish it!! And finally the desserts... I repeat, the difference with those made with wheat flour is absolutely not noticeable! The staff, knowledgeable and kind, made us feel at home, even recommending dishes, which turned out to be excellent advice on pairings! A 10 out of 10 for the Vecchio Mercato!

We received a recommendation today for the best Lasagna Bolognese in Bologna - it was correct. We had a fantastic meal tonight at La Capriata. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we were offered a dedicated Gluten Free menu which was a nice touch. All four of us really enjoyed our dinner.

Excellent gluten free pizza!!!!

Victoria Gibson

They have a lot of gluten free options. The bread is extraordinary! My husband and I ordered tagliere for 2 and it was great. Because I’m celiac, both breads were gluten free and he actuallly said it was very tasteful. I 100% Recommend this place if you are gluten intolerant/ celiac. Location wise? It couldn’t be better. Just a few meters away from the Torre Dell’Orologio and the Neptune Fountain.

A top discovery!!! The entire menu was gluten-free, everything we tried was delicious and the waiters were super nice and attentive, the place was full and that's for a reason!!

Our first need was to find a pizzeria that cooked gluten-free pizzas and the Due Lune restaurant has a double menu for celiacs and is an AIC restaurant. The pizzas with and without gluten are excellent, as is the service, friendly and fast staff. The place is large and due to the large tables the environment sometimes becomes a bit noisy but if the company is good and the food is good too, you don't notice. Well done!

I had the best tagliatelle ever, gluten-free of course. Absolutely recommend. A must-visit when in Bologna!

We had lunch in this restaurant for my graduation, the food was delicious, from the pizzas to the first courses and also the desserts, the staff was very kind, and the place was very welcoming. The gluten-free cuisine is reliable and is effectively gluten-free and contamination-free, as unfortunately does not happen in other restaurants. Even though we were a little late due to some problems and with lunch we exceeded the closing time of the restaurant, the staff was still very kind and helpful in understanding the situation, without making us feel it in any way. I highly recommend this restaurant, thanks again!

Jennifer Schaffer

One of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had!

Monika Masica

Great gluten free food with many options to choose. I was so happy to find this place as I am gluten inteligent and it is hard to find good breakfast in new places. It saved my life cause I was very hungry after the trip. I came back several times and I will be back again for sure :)

The room on the first floor is very nice, good that you have a menu for celiacs

Builder Mcleod

Wow wow wow! Great joint for lunch. Great friendly welcome. Menu explained, GF pizza all round! ( warning, the kitchen is a one and all for us coeliacs) in saying that, I’m feeling fine hours later and I react pretty fast. So well done on them. Pizza was massive, I’m a big guy and struggled ( but won! ) tasted amazing. The nautical theme is awesome. Big ups. Go, you know you want to now.

The gluten-free wraps are delicious!

Ellen Adler

Amazing gluten free gelato and cone!! A must for those that have Celiac

Studio Tributario D'Ettorre Giovanni

delicious gluten-free cakes. Excellent and not very sugary

Ragnvald Larsen

If you are looking for guten free pastries, then this is the place. Two chairs only and I do not think they serve coffee. But with these pastries in your bag and coffeeshops just a 5 min walk away, you are set up for an unhealthy gluten free treat. Bravo!

Lorenzo Bortolotti

Friendly staff and top and freshest Riviera products. Wide choice of gluten-free. Excellent for those looking for a quick meal at a low price

Juan Ricardo Angel

Very good place to eat, we had a delicious tricolore pizza and there is a gluten-free option. Highly recommended

Scott Garfinkel

Great GF and lactose free options. Amazing homemade GF pasta with the owner behind the counter welcoming you into her restaurant like you are a friend visiting her home. Amazing assortment of homemade GF food and dessert

Raffaella Fiora

Here I found an excellent gluten-free version of kebab, chicken kebab, falafel and pastrami prepared with rare passion and meticulousness. The environment is friendly and very pleasant!

Clarissa Bechini

Excellent food, each dish is amazing and well studied! The waiter knew everything about celiac and I could enjoy my dinner without any worries.

Daniela

Considering that I don't like fast food, the sandwich here is much better than McDonald's. There is also something gluten-free: they say there is a risk of contamination, but the celiac boy who serves the tables explains the presentation calmly and confidently (we never felt sick).

Excellent healthy and gluten-free products. A little expensive...
