Top 4 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across Liguria

Celiac .. I find anything cooked specifically Gf ... excellent value for money

This was one of the only places we visited twice during our 2 days in Cinque Terre. I got gelato the first time and a cannoli the second time. Both were excellent but the gluten free pistachio cannoli really stood out. The shell was actually a really great texture, not the normal too hard gluten free version. As a traveller, it's very comforting to see the "100% senza glutine" sign on the door.

A very pleasant discovery among the alleys of Genoa that saved my day. Quite close to the Duomo I discovered this bakery where I was able to taste the classic focaccia genovese but gluten free. All the savoury things were excellent, perhaps the thing I liked least was the sweet croissant but maybe that day the puff pastry hadn't come out very well 😜

I live in Ceriale so I am very lucky to finally have a place where I can eat every flavor of pizza then the pizza a pala, fried food and gluten-free desserts close to home, everything very good, polite waiters and attentive to allergies, very clean location thanks PAT

Specializing in gluten free, excellent, courteous service. I had a great time.

June 2025 Cute little restaurant with very friendly service. Both men were super friendly. My husband and I tried a savory and a sweet crepe. Gluten-free, of course, because we'd read they were delicious. We can only confirm that; the crepes taste fluffy and heavenly. It's worth a visit; if we ever come back to Genoa, we'll definitely eat another crepe there. ❤️ Simply a dream for those with celiac disease.

I took gluten-free focaccia, delicious and at an affordable price. The croissant was delicious!! At the right price! The sales assistant was kind and helpful. Highly recommended

A beautiful restaurant with a magnificent design. Definitely the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten. The dough is absolutely perfect. The quality of the ingredients is truly impressive; it's truly gourmet pizza. Garden produce, slow food, respect for the environment... Bonci from Liguria! (Neapolitan version). Service a little slow, but there were plenty of people, very professional and friendly waiters. The most beautiful women in Sanremo come here; it's paradise. Bravo, chef! 🧑‍🍳 (We're waiting for one of your restaurants to open in Nice; we have so much to learn in France about slow food and gluten-free...) 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Located near the Albaro district of Genoa, this small pastry shop has a wide selection of gluten-free and lactose-free shortbread and pastries. I think it is one of the few in Genoa that does everything gluten-free. The desserts I had were excellent: from the typical canestrelli to the pasticciotti pugliesi, baci di dama and di Alassio: all delicious. Upon request, they also have beautiful cakes. I will definitely be back

Local in the Porto Antico of Genoa with homemade pasta, also in the gluten-free version. The restaurant has some seats both in the internal rooms and at the tables outside. However, booking is recommended. I ate some excellent Trofie with octopus with Taggiasca olives and cherry tomatoes and a very good SG mixed fried food

Hannah Johnston

100% gluten free gelato. No risk of cross contamination with GF cones!! Amazing! Plenty of lactose free and vegan options available.

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!!!!!!

Christian Kutscher

A beautiful little pizzeria in the mountains of Imperia city. Extremely accommodating, and the pizzas were simply amazing. The price/performance ratio was great. Even though I hadn't pre-reserved a gluten-free option, they made one ready. I'd be happy to come back! English is spoken by the owner's (presumably) son. Otherwise, only Italian.

Katie Barthelson

Great gluten free spot if you are willing to wait. I had the gnocchi and chocolate cake. There is no place to really sit but there is a picnic area at the top of the hill with a great view to enjoy your meal.

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.

Gregg Kennedy

Small spot with good gluten free pasta. Loved their fantasia al mare- perfect for two people to share. They had a packaged sliced bread option which was nice to dip in the oil.

Jasper Vanneste

Delicious gluten free bakery!

Maddalena Spelta

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

Angela Bostan

Unfortunately disappointing experience in this tavern. Young waiters, okay, but inexperienced; they brought the first courses before the appetizers, the wine arrived a quarter of an hour after the glasses, with the meal almost over. The gluten free option is appreciated, however there is a lack of vegan options (as a lactose intolerant I found milk and derivatives in almost all the fish-based dishes). Pleasant environment, in a basement room inside a historic building, dominated by an imposing vault. Average prices, but decidedly high considering the service. Poor wine list, with a poor choice of Ligurian wines, of which only one red can be ordered by the glass and this was absolutely not worth the price.

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 ❤️🙏❤️

Greta Astolfi

Finally a place with good GLUTEN FREE options!

Dear Valentina, after months glued to the phone screen with my mouth watering looking at the photos of your delicacies, I have decided to give myself a gift and take a train from Pontedera to come and taste something from your bakery in Sarzana. And so here I am early in the morning inside your special place; obviously there was the counter full of wonders and your lively and very pleasant presence. I admit that I didn't say much because I was excited, but I bought many things to try: a slice of savory cake, some scones, a piece of vanilla and berry cake and a lemon and blueberry muffin. Everything was exceptional! The scones almost moved me, the flavor was almost identical to the ones I bought in an old bakery in my town when I was little, I ate them with a dear friend of mine outside of school and it really felt like I was going back there. Never eaten so good in eleven years of celiac disease! Not to mention the desserts: tasty, soft, abundant. No disappointments. The prices are absolutely honest and consistent with the quality of the food, I really hope to be able to return soon.

Isabella Brunetto

Excellent ice cream, all gluten free

Linda Rech

Nice location, friendly staff. Pretty good food, except for the gluten-free pizza with a ready-made base (I wouldn't recommend it, get something else).. I expected much better given the AIC certification for several years. Decent normal pizza

Matilda Bernardoni

I went to this Focacceria with some friends and we left really satisfied. Very beautiful and refined location. Very welcoming and pleasant environment and staff. Varied and satisfying fixed menus. Honest prices for the quality and quantity. Very attentive to gluten-free (possibility of eating a delicious focaccia made by them and amazing desserts). What can I say, a place to which we will certainly more than willingly return.

Corrado Durante

Beautiful food for celiacs/gluten intolerants right in the center on a lively little square with a bench where you can eat the excellent focaccia on the spot. The lady behind the counter is very courteous and helpful.

A.J. Blijleven

Great restaurant for glutenfree food. Almost everything is possible to eat. We had Hamburgers with chicken and one with beef and bacon and French fries. The people know al about glutenfree food and are very helpful. I really recommend this place to go to for a good meal or other refreshments

Domenica Muscatiello

I found myself spending a day on holiday and while enjoying a good ice cream I discovered the S. PIETRO ice cream shop where I was struck by the courtesy, attention and kindness with which Mrs Simona served me, moreover I had problems of gluten I found a vast assortment, excellent ice cream, "true" artisanal. I recommend it to anyone passing through Diano Marina, a must.

Isabella Crosa

I was in this restaurant with my mother a few weeks ago, I point out that my mother is severely celiac and a slight contamination would have made our mini vacation a nightmare. Instead we were welcomed by a boy, I hope and think the manager, young but extremely experienced, they offered us gluten-free appetizers that no one had ever had the foresight to prepare. Extremely generous portions and fresh fish. Kindness, professionalism and knowledge of celiac disease at the highest levels. I feel like writing that I rarely leave reviews, but this restaurant deserves an honorable mention. Even the plating is different for celiacs so that they can quickly recognize the dishes dedicated to them. I find the expense very honest for the quality and service offered. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

Emma van de Wetering

Excellent gelato and lovely to have the option of a gluten free cone.

Amazing experience! Great variety of delicious vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back!

Nadiya Vasylyshyn

There is a gluten-free kitchen. They cook very tasty, there is parking for customers. The staff is very friendly. I recommend

Maura Rossi

Historic pastry shop, the pastry chef is always experimenting with new recipes and is always happy to please his customers. I've been going to the pastry shop for about seven years, ever since I was diagnosed with celiac disease, because the gluten-free desserts are really good. I love pastry chef Roberto's desserts and even my partner who is not celiac eats them with pleasure.

Mariella Roveglia

I got the gluten-free Sicilian cannoli. Excellent.
