Papèo is the best pizzeria (even gluten-free) in Bologna, without a doubt! The selection of doughs is incredible: even for gluten-free you can choose between classic, sourdough, cereals and seeds, hemp or Neapolitan version. Each pizza is made with top ingredients and great care, and for each one a beer is also recommended to pair, a detail that really makes the difference. The place is welcoming and the staff is super prepared and kind, very attentive to the needs of those with intolerances. An experience not to be missed, even for those who are not celiac. The only sore point is the location: a bit inconvenient and out of the center. But it is absolutely worth it!

Cristian Lollini

Excellent gluten free dishes! I recommend all celiacs and non-celiacs to stop by at least once to taste their fried crescentine.

Debra Chinn

Fabulous food. Best gluten free sandwich ever! Friendly helpful staff, excellent service.

Mario Crudele

Everything is excellent, meat, fish and pizza and everything is also gluten-free! Highly recommended! Even for celiac people, they are very attentive.

nicola barboni

Booked for five people for a summer Sunday lunch to spend time with family and grandma. The service is so excellent, attentive and friendly waiters. Good atmosphere with small attractions for children even if in summer it is difficult to stay outside due to the heat. The food pleasantly surprised me especially for the attention they have for celiacs and gluten intolerants. All very good even if not excellent. Five of us (two children included) took first or second course + side dish + dessert + coffee spending €28/person, I would say quite good. Thanks to all the staff, we will definitely return opening in an equally positive experience!

Clarissa Bechini

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

Javier Blanco-Romero

The best gluten-free pizza dough we've ever tried! The pizza dough is homemade, and they have separate workshops and ovens for gluten-free options, making it perfect for celiacs. The mortadella pizza was delicious!

Rachel Sullivan

Absolutely amazing gluten free paradise! Reasonable price, friendly service, English speaking. Lovely ambience. Fabulous!

Charlotte Hefner

Perfect for gluten free people — but even my not gluten free companion enjoyed the gluten free pizza! Loved it so much, we went twice.

Javier Blanco-Romero

Gluten-free piadinas! Great value for money.

Sara Foscoli

They have a gluten free menu. Great food.

Georgina Bowden

Delicious gluten free option pizza. Definitely recommend the amatriciana pizza with delish tomato, pesto and guanciale

D V

In the center of Bologna, very convenient, with tables both inside and under the portico. They make piadinas and pinzas with gluten free dough. The staff is very kind and fast.

Chiara Scala

Excellent piadinas, hamburgers and cascioni. Possibility of having everything gluten-free

Monica

Very good gluten-free food Good value for money: we spent 28 euros each, taking tagliolini for 2, tigelle, 2 tiramisu, beer and glass. Welcoming staff

Jenni Gabbarelli

As a celiac I was excited to try a gluten free restaurant in Italy and was not disappointed. The owners were so welcoming and explained the whole menu to us. Also great that my son could have gluten pasta. I had freshly made tortellini al ragu, something you’d never get gf anywhere! And it was amazing! Also on offer were gf beer. And a great selection of wines!

Alice Dall'Aglio

Excellent Bavarian cuisine restaurant. Excellent gluten-free dishes, with an example in the photo and a location adhering to the AIC. Equipped with ample parking and children's space.

Silvia

Everything very good, with gluten-free options too!

Rebecca Lenaghan

Great gluten free options - recommend their tagliatelle bolognese!

Andrea V

Parsit is the place that every celiac would like to have in their city. A welcoming and clean place, with a wide menu, the owners are simply fantastic, their smiles warm the heart! I went there two days in a row during a short stay in Bologna and I tried the traditional Kebab, the one with Pastrami and a plate of Falafel. The products are very good, the portions are generous and the attention to gluten-free is very high; although the place does not have a separate kitchen I have not had any problems in any of my visits. If you are in Bologna and above all you are celiac, this stop is a must, you will not regret it!

Riccardo Giacopino

Excellent food, even gluten-free, friendly staff and a special thanks to Enzo

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.

Sarah Nuccitelli

It is a pleasant place, in the green hills of Bologna. The location is fantastic and pleasant! I've frequented this restaurant over the course of many years, I hadn't been in a while, and frankly I was a little disappointed. The menu does not specify which gluten-free foods are available, and the waiter who was supposed to take the order went back and forth a few times to ask for information and had no idea how to direct us. Inflation is fine, but we spent about double compared to 2/3 years ago, for the service and the type of dishes offered... we were disappointed.

Perrine Desgranges

We had some very good pizzas, which were huge (a little too huge). Gluten-free options are available. However, the service was a bit expensive.

Francesca Dettori

What can I say... delicious gluten-free pizza... very nice and welcoming location... excellent service and impeccable welcome... strong point the waitress Chiara... a polite person, very nice, sunny and fun... highly recommended...

Ana Miguel

They took great care of us, despite it being late for their schedule. With gluten-free pasta option. Good value for money

Thomas Krüger

Very tasty. Large selection of gluten-free dishes. Gluten is clearly indicated on the menu.

Teresa Di Natale

Lots of gluten-free options, I went there for an aperitif and had tigelle with a cutting board. Everything was very good, very kind and friendly staff. I highly recommend booking. The only flaw is the price, in my opinion a bit high compared to the quantity given.

Laura S

Meat, fish and pizza restaurant, very large, with indoor and outdoor veranda spaces. Usually generous and tasty portions. Attentive and helpful staff. Possibility of eating a good gluten-free pizza too. :) Recommended!

Caroline Morgan

This restaurant was recommended by The Guardian and it's reviews were good. We arrived without a reservation and were able to sit outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had gluten free pasta Ragu which was very tasty and pasta cooked perfectly. My husband had sausage pasta which was also nice but pasta was a little too al dente but still tasty. I didn't fancy any of the desserts as only the chocolate cake was gluten free and I'm not a fan of chocolate cake. They did offer to do me a bowl of strawberries, which were delicious and very large portion. Wine and local beer very good and service good. Bill came to €50. Would definitely recommend.

Arianna (Arya)

Excellent food, fantastic atmosphere (tavern style) and equally good service. There were 6 of us and we ate everything… There is a fixed menu and then two other menus (one vegetarian and one gluten free)… I will definitely go back during my trips to Bologna and the surrounding area

Dara Kramer Vogel

This was a truly perfect meal, I could not recommend it more! Wanted to try everything on the menu but couldn't be more pleased with what we got! (Tortellini en brodo, ragu, lasagna on special, gramigna with sauage) They also had delicious gluten free pasta for those needing. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Call for a reservation!

Annarita Bertotto

This prosciutto shop can be a typical place to enjoy excellent platters of cured meats and cheeses, also waiting for the gluten free. Characteristic place

annachiara cobelli

We came across it by chance but we were really surprised, the place was lovely and the staff were very knowledgeable and very kind. The food was really excellent and with different choices for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs. Recommended house wines

FLAVIO BOTTIROLI

Great service, excellent dishes, super prepared for gluten free!!! Truly spectacular! And at a very honest price!!! Excellent!

R.

Good gluten-free sandwich, shame about the impossibility of having at least gluten-free chips.

Federica

I ordered a cake for my graduation party: it was really delicious, everyone was impressed, truly special taste!!! The happiness of being able to eat an exquisite dessert, completely vegan and gluten free 😍😍😍

Pierluigi Noya

Everything was perfect, on the menu there was an entire page dedicated to gluten-free, impeccable staff, wonderful hospitality and service, our compliments to those who were able to create such a simply perfect team. We found our point of reference in Bologna with an unusual quality/price ratio

Carmen Pérez

A beautiful place to eat authentic bolognese. Gluten-free pasta option.

Roberta Diesi

I celebrated my graduation in this restaurant with family and friends. All the courses were delicious and plentiful, the owner and the waiters were uniquely kind and helpful. They are also available for those with dietary restrictions, in fact two of us were vegetarians and one was gluten intolerant and they also offered us some very good options. Advise!

D. H.

Finally a restaurant that offers the famous Tagliatelle al Ragout gluten-free! It was also super tasty and the service was also very friendly. If we come back to Bolognia we will definitely be guests here again.

Arianna Ghinelli

Good sushi, slightly above the average for all you can eat in the city. They present a large variety of dishes and are very attentive to gluten-free (which can be indicated via the ordering tablet).

Alex Nikolaidou

Really lovely cafe, lush cosy queer-friendly vibes. Soft jazz in the background. Lots of locals (probably students) quietly working on laptops to one side of the cafe. We had a delicious savoury tart (vegan and gluten free) as their kitchen is closed between 3.30 and 7pm so couldn’t have proper lunch, but there is counter cakes and tarts available when the kitchen is closed. Tasty kombucha options and they do matcha lattes which seem hard to across in Bologna. Great spot!

Cristina Carrano

Really good and non-trivial vegan dishes, the menu is mixed but with a fair presence of vegan options and some gluten-free ones. Ideal if you are looking for a place that pleases everyone, without sacrificing taste :)

Pierluigi Fabio

Fabulous little place in the center of Bologna, super suitable for celiacs, we ate the real small gluten-free Bolognese tortellini with parmesan cream. Very friendly staff and owner. Ballanzoni and tagliatelle Bolognese, not for celiacs, fabulous and also an appetizer of cold cuts and fried gnocco equally phenomenal.....go there, it's worth it...really

Nicola Cornforth

Good pizza, prices a little higher than the Bolognese standard. Type of dough and pizza height as desired: low, medium or high. They don't do gluten-free pizzas but they have two lactose-free ones. Staff not always friendly and very detached in attitude.

Jasmin Konlechner

Gluten free pasta. Very nice service

Maria Vittoria Nascimben

Highly recommended, very small but authentic place, with gluten-free and vegetable choices, delicious, we had a great time, I highly recommend it
