Top 50 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots Across Liguria

I've eaten here twice. Excellent environment: well-kept, with many tables; I recommend going early so you are served more slowly and there aren't many customers. For both lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers menus with various options, including gluten free. At lunch there are menus with offers (a first course, a second course....). If you spend more than 15 euros the cover charge is offered free! The portions are generous and the vegetables are fresh, cooked, in my opinion, like at home, that is, without excessive seasonings. Prices are very competitive. I tried the trofie with pesto with potatoes and green beans: absolutely excellent, to be savoured! The farinata is also superlative, with a gluten free option. A special dessert and lemon cream, a specialty created by the cook: truly delicious and light. When we come to Savona, we will definitely return!

La Grotta is an exceptional restaurant. My boyfriend is coeliac and they were more than accommodating. We had a fabulous charcuterie board to start which was out of this world. My pesto cream pasta for main was genuinely one of the nicest pasta dishes I’ve ever had. Aperols were flowing, service was top tier. Thank you

Clarissa Bechini

I ordered my birthday cake here (fruit cake) and it was delicious. Everything is GF and the staff is friendly! Absolutely recommend!

This weekend we had a small reunion with friends, all vegans, one of whom was celiac. The staff was very knowledgeable and kind, their pizza with cheese and vegan pesto... spectacular!!! Also very good risotto with artichokes and veg cheese. We also had the choice of dessert: either a strawberry pudding or an orange cake, I gave in to the cake! Very good and fresh, nothing to envy of the "normal" ones. I don't think these sweets are on the menu, it's always better to call first to let them know what you need and ask. Congratulations, super recommended place.

I took two fried fish 🐟 gluten-free to take away, really well made and well packaged, they also gave me an excellent naturally gluten-free focaccia, very kind staff.

Gluten-free pizza excellent for us celiacs, I have been frequenting this pizzeria for years. I don't feel like giving the maximum stars because yesterday I had a bad experience with one of the owners who, to convince me of the safety of his pizza (given the writing that they did not guarantee the lack of contamination on the menu) told me that his daughter has celiac disease and goes into anaphylactic shock. Celiac disease does not lead to anaphylactic shock and since I am also allergic to crustaceans and molluscs, I no longer felt so comfortable entrusting him with my true allergy after having understood from his sentence that he does not know the difference between allergies and celiac disease. Having said that, the pizza is excellent, but the topic should be studied when serving food.

Cri Ghelli

Of all the places with gluten-free cuisine, it remains my favorite where I can eat with the total absence of contamination. The managers are very prepared, welcoming and the cuisine is tasty even for those who are not celiac. Well done, keep working well like this 🙏❤️

Manuela Grosso

Beautiful place and super friendly and helpful staff. Very good pizza even gluten free.

Olga Trofimova

Great gluten free options! Nice location and atmosphere.

Nicolas LAMY

Superb experience with delicious gluten-free pancakes in a charming, cozy atmosphere and a top-notch team

Marco Migli

Gluten-free paradise. It's worth a special trip for all the baked goods, from bread to desserts to the unsurpassed cream donuts

Céline Focroulle

Typical restaurant with the possibility of eating many “gluten-free” dishes and desserts, a treat! Friendly staff and fast service. I recommend 😀

Massimo Pulvirenti

Very quiet place, decent pizza for celiacs

Francesca Ginestroni

We had dinner in this nice restaurant with friends, we were all very satisfied, really excellent cheese focaccia, even the gluten-free foods are really delicious, both the fresh pasta and the cheese focaccia. We will certainly return.

Emily Westra

Good gluten free bite. Portions were small but yummy. They only have a few options for gluten free pasta, but have gluten free focaccia sandwiches too!

Bad experience, little attention, a lot of rudeness and watch out for contamination ‼️ Introduction: it is not the first time we have booked at this place because for me, being celiac, the quality of the pizza is very high. However, I never expected the treatment I received this last time. We should have already understood that the evening would go badly from the moment we went there at 9.00 pm and discovered that our reservation had been lost in the hyperuranium. Our table for 6 people was still prepared but outside, without the foresight of placing a heating mushroom near us since it was 15 degrees. After an hour of receiving the order, nothing had yet been brought to us, not even 3 beers and 3 cokes (which also arrived incorrectly). After asking several times where our pizzas were and, seeing as we had been waiting for 2 hours in the cold, in annoyance they finally moved us inside, unaware that the worst was yet to come. At 11.30pm the pizzas finally arrive... all of them, except mine gluten-free. After about twenty minutes my pizza finally arrived...SPOILER: IT WAS WRONG. I had ordered a simple "margherita" and I was brought a "margherita 2.0" complete with parmesan, buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Having alerted the waiter of the incorrect serving, the PIZZA WAS BROUGHT BACK TO ME AND IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT BACK WITHOUT TOMATOES (among other things, CONTAMINATED since they were taken away from me with sweet, beautiful hands contaminated by gluten). I FELT DEEPLY TAKEN OFF, so I got up to go and ask for explanations of my treatment. The manager, once again angrily, initially denied what had happened, trying to make me believe that their margherita pizza was like this (too bad they DON'T declare the ingredients on the menu... which is quite dangerous given the food allergies and totally illegal), then he turned to the chef with a "then make this margherita"... When everyone else had finished eating, I also managed to have my pizza. But it didn't end here... At midnight no one bothered to come and ask if we wanted a dessert or a coffee so we had to get up ourselves. Once we got to the cashier to close on a high note we were even told that we had been given a discount (a few pennies)…

ANDREA MONTI

The place is very well kept, quite elegant and the waiters are friendly. They offer a complete gluten-free mune for celiac.

Ricky Marchese

Great pastas and finally vegan and gluten free alternatives, a happy island in Genoa! What's wrong with those who write negative reviews?😅

Rosa J. Pintus

Extremely good restaurant also for celiacs: starters and main courses are prepared without using gluten. The location is fantastic and you will probably need to book in the summer. Prices are affordable.

E B

Excellent with gluten-free cooking

Greta Donelli

Fantastic place! Very kind staff, quality and tasty products. I took a gluten-free and lactose-free crepe and it was delicious. A nice little place in the center of La Spezia

Alessandro Vannozzi

Environment without character but the food is very good, ok for food intolerances, gluten free both pasta and pizza. Generous servings. I advise the pizza chef to wear a clean t-shirt!!!!!!

Paola Bruno

Went with friends, I have celiac disease and asked for a focaccia with lard, they tell me there is no lard, so I take focaccia with gorgonzola, cherry tomatoes and raw ham which couldn't be saltier than that, the focaccia was quite burnt so I left most of the focaccia it is not No one came to the table again to ask if we wanted anything more or coffee. When we went to the cashier the bill was already ready. See you never again! Paola

Giada Ratto

The best gluten-free sandwich in all of Genoa! So much friendliness, kindness and cleanliness: I really recommend!

Dave g (Dave)

Excellent restaurant, near the old port, with traditional dishes and more. Many gluten-free options (and I'm not talking about the usual salad or steak, which are already gluten-free, I'm talking about pizzas, traditional first courses including trofie with pesto, or casonsei with walnut sauce, pizzas, second courses and desserts). I highly recommend the trofie with octopus and taggiasca olives, which I really liked.

Ruggero Beglia

Very good dishes, good service, small and welcoming place, service for celiacs.

Viktoria Bilz

As a glutenfree person I had an amazing experience. Not only was the staff super friendly and funny, also the food was so great! To top things up the bartender really knows his buisness. 100% would recommend a visit!

Antonella Semino

I was here for a snack, delicious and cheap tigelle, the lady who served me was super cheerful, I don't remember her name but I know she is of Colombian origin, in addition to the good food we also had a nice chat where she told me a little his story, I was almost moved, I will definitely return and I recommend everyone to try their tigelle, one last thing they also make tigelle for celiacs

Claudia Piras

I ate a gluten-free pizza which I found good, but a little bland compared to the tomato sauce. It's the second time I've come and I've always had a good time with celiac disease. As regards the service, the owner or manager of the room was a bit rude when we asked for the table, 5/10 minutes before the actual reservation. We arrived early and thought about asking if he was already free, but instead we received an answer that left us on the verge of leaving: "you have booked at 9pm, so come back in 10 minutes". A little rude I would say. Anyway, the waiters were efficient and fast.

Michele illuzzi

Strategic place on the Genoa pier, very good but quite expensive pizza. Especially the gluten-free menu (1/3 of the menu for everyone) is scarce and very expensive... but as usual celiacs always pay more in money and taste of food. It would be nice to have the exact same menu also available in the gluten-free version given the price paid.

Paola Bernasconi

A huge thank you, and super compliments to the chef.. for the care and attention to the preparation for us celiacs, with contamination... May GOD bless you. Thank you so much for your heartfelt work, and your awareness of our intolerance.

Jessica Errico

Really nice restaurant aesthetically, facing the sea, and above all equipped for gluten-free!! something very unobtainable in the first areas of Liguria coming from Milan! Friendly staff and very helpful and kind! Quick and really good food! We took the pizza (normal), very soft dough and really tasty (I who usually discard the crust ate that too ;)) my celiac boyfriend ate really well too, very soft focaccia (as you know it's difficult with gluten-free to be very soft) it almost didn't seem sg the desserts are all gluten-free and the entire menu can be transformed into sg Highly recommended and definitely coming back!

Angelo Giugliano

Excellent gluten-free menu

Free Gluten

For celiacs, once informed by the restaurant staff, you will be guided, we recommend the homemade pasta made by the chef, everything was delicious, continue like this and develop your offer with Freeglutine by indicating it on the menu, the dishes with the small Freeglutine symbols , as found throughout Europe! Friendly and family atmosphere but a little noisy; long waiting times to eat when the restaurant is full, if you get a starter, count 2 hours for a meal.

Giulia Ch

Excellent restaurant and pizzeria offering many different options suitable for all needs. The pizzas, with excellent quality ingredients, are made in three different formats (the peel one is highly recommended!), and several gluten-free ones are also available. The restaurant menu is very varied, and offers the possibility of dining with meat or first courses. The staff is very courteous and attentive to customer requests; the venue has several rooms and is therefore also suitable for large groups. If you are looking for a place to dine in the heart of the historic center that can satisfy everyone, you will not be disappointed here!

Typhaine DEBOT

Delicious pizzas and pastas with lots of gluten-free options!

The ice cream in this shop is labeled as containing no gluten coloring or artificial flavors. There are many styles to choose from. They are smooth and delicious, but the price is a bit expensive.

Rossella Carta

The gluten-free pizza is the best in Liguria, my friend and I were delighted ❤️ dough made by them 😍

FrancesKOLL75

I went there with my wife about 10 days ago, delicious food, I took a gluten-free margherita (and as a celiac I can say that it was very good and didn't even hurt after digestion) and my wife found some fried paranza which she found very tasty (not like some places where everything is frozen). Very kind owners who know how to put customers at ease, chefs who know what they are doing and delivery times of what is ordered are very quick. The place wasn't bad either, very welcoming. When we return to Finale Ligure, it will be a must!

francesca bergagna

What more could you want, a typical Genoese trattoria, on the sea, plentiful dishes, cheap price, and delicious food. They also do gluten-free. Friendly and kind staff.. everything was excellent.. from the starter to the dessert. A fantastic day.. we left there full and happy with the excellent food.. we will definitely be back..

Jörn Müller

Very tasty food. We ordered gluten-free pasta and were immediately delivered gluten-free bread (the waiter thinks along with it 😀). For the lamb dish, sauce was added at the place. Extra small bowl for the olive oil with the bread. Very stylish, but also correspondingly expensive. But it was worth it!

Gabriella Luchini

I ordered a gluten-free pizza the other night via deliveroo. The pizza was very good, the ingredients (eggplant and cacioricotta if I'm not mistaken) very good, of excellent quality. It was really worth it, it didn't feel like glutenfeee. I would also like to point out the very kind and nice staff: I ordered through deliveroo 1) in addition to the gluten-free pizza, I had requested french fries. They had the foresight to call me to warn me that there could be contamination since it was French fries and they wanted to make sure that it was okay for me. Much appreciated this, they could have not called me 2) I had politely asked them to let me know when they were about to deliver (so I could leave the hotel for collection) and they called me shortly before Very positive experience, I will definitely order again in the next few days🤪 Ps I didn't have time to take a photo because the pizza was delicious. Pps pizza delivered super hot!

Silvia Venturino

The very kind and helpful managers, the pizza with quality raw materials. Positive note: presence of gluten-free dough, the pizza was delicious.

Francesca Furfari

Let me start by saying that I know them very well. But finding a place that always welcomes you with a smile, always kind, is not always a given. And then you ask for lactose-free milk and they have it... ask for soy milk... oat milk... well what can I say they have to do with that. Gluten-free products. Well try it and you'll tell me I recommend it 😊

Anna Fracchiolla

A wonderful taste and health experience!! Finally an excellent ice cream in a completely Gluten Free ice cream shop starting from the cone, so for me who have celiac disease, it means safety due to the total absence of contamination!!!! I add the great kindness, competence and care of the owner, all you have to do is go. The Straconsiglio ❤️🙏❤️

Eniko Balogh

Very good fresh gluten free products they prepare on order.

Maddalena Spelta

Friendly staff and excellent quality products to indulge in a gluten-free treat in complete safety... both sweet and savory! Highly recommended!

Manuela Contaldo

Great attention also in case of celiac disease. Excellent cuisine, very well prepared.

Roland Promber

There are also very delicious dishes, gluten-free and lactose-free pizzas and pastas. Simply fabulous flavors and very nice staff. Everything was fine, the best place and right on the beach. One of our favorite places, we will definitely be back.
