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.

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.

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!

The owner of Bruscè is very friendly and you feel comfortable there. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten-free and I received a large selection of gluten-free dishes there. For breakfast we had omelettes, pancakes and a yoghurt fruit bowl with granola, and for lunch we had delicious gnocchi. Highly recommended!

I've been wanting to do this review for a while... The rolling pin of the goose is my guarantee and Fabio our trusted "sfoglino". I am celiac and intolerant to many foods; all my requests have been treated with great professionalism and the result has always been exquisite. From tagliatelle to tortellini...from lasagna to gnocchi...everything perfect! This year we relied on Fabio for my children's birthday cakes and for a small gluten-free buffet for the party... The cakes, a classic one with gluten and a gluten-free jam tart, were appreciated by the guests and not even a slice was left over! Cordiality, friendliness, kindness and great professionalism! I recommend everyone to try some delicacies from Matrello dell'oca

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).
