It is not easy to find good gluten free pizza sometimes but I’m so glad I got to have some at Zizzi. The picante pizza was delicious and the crust was perfect.

We had 3 people in our party and only one had a good food experience. Unfortunately, the 2.people that ordered gluten free pasta dishes were served extremely boring dishes with no flavor and absolutely no attempt at presentation. The gluten free pasta dishes looked like something from a children's menu - no exaggeration, I promise. My dish, Penne Regine All’Arrabbiata, was tasty and well presented. I enjoyed it! Service was attentive. Atmosphere was ok. Tables were close together, somewhat unnecessarily since there was plenty of space in the restaurant. We will not be returning.

Read about this place on a gluten free Ireland group. Went and had the American gf pizza and the deep fried Halloumi (also gf), was delicious. The gf pizza is smaller than a "typical" flat crust pizza, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great food From the kitchen and service from Kacey. Good on the gluten-free options too!

I have never ever received a service as horrible as this place last night. We were 4 adults and 4 kids (aged 3-8). The booking was only for 6 but last minute, 2 others joined. The place was not packed, and when we were seated to the 6-pax table reserved, we asked if we can add additional chairs. The waiter didn’t reply and instead a manager or a guy who answers the phone for reservations, came to us in a quite hostile manner; no greetings, no manner and was almost really angry at us saying why didn’t we call to update him. It was a literal “last minute” addition as in decided when we met outside the restaurant. We were with kids and it was embarrassing to have this “adult”who’s supposed to serve us, speak to us so horribly. Not even letting us finish speak to respond. If only we weren’t with kids who are hungry, we would’ve left immediately. There was no need to be treated so rudely in a restaurant. Our waitress took possibly 15 mins or more and if we haven’t requested to be served, no one would come offer even drinks or water. Additionally, we chose this place because the food here used to be good, but quality has deteriorated. Their burrata cheese (part of the antipasti) was hard like texture of a rubber. We ordered gluten-free pizza and it wasn’t cooked well and really tasted off. Never order that. There’s really no reason to come here unless you have no other choice. Really sad because the location would’ve been nice but the overall atmosphere is ruined with the horrible service and low quality food.

Great pasta! We tried the special lobster tagliatelle of the day and another one that tasted so good. Gluten free pasta, pizza and dessert available.

Chicken wings and halloumi fries were nice, gluten free pizza base available but needs work. Staff were pleasant.

Mariska

Very tasty pasta. Gluten-free also possible. The portions could be bigger, because it is really tasty.

Went for lunch here with my two daughters who are Coeliac. Could not have had better service. Waitress was brilliant and put my young daughters at ease. Great to get good gluten free food and super service.

Carina Stöckl

Super tasty (gluten-free) food and the service was great too! Thanks Dan :))

Aneta

My favourite Italian restaurant in Dublin, gluten free menu is exquisite. Tried multiple things on the menu and they were all amazing.

Amy R

Absolutely amazing food, and SO many gluten free options! A new favourite in Dublin City centre for sure. It’s brilliant seeing more and more places offer gluten free options as standard. Thank you, Aperitivo!

Ann D'Arcy

Very safe place to eat as a coeliac. Loads of options. Staff very helpful.

Aidan Lamb

Definitely the best place I've been to for a gluten free meal. My wife is coeliac and said it had some of the best bread rolls etc, she has had. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Dominic Latham

"We'll take good care of you" was the answer we got when we asked if it was celiac safe here. Very knowledgeable and accommodating about dietary needs. Delicious too. A great experience.

B Mahon

One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin , the food and service is excellent, fresh , creative & tasty menu that changes with the seasons, with some old favourites remaining. *You need to book in advance Also they can accommodate a coeliac with a gluten free pasta if you ask in advance. Highly recommend

Really cute atmosphere with good food. Staff was quick and friendly. Prices were good. Lots of vegetarian options and some gluten free options. Table of four seated with no wait at lunchtime on a Thursday.

I recently visited an Italian restaurant in Dublin with friends for a catch-up, and had a somewhat mixed experience. While the service was efficient, the staff seemed quite busy and a bit rushed at times. Our food arrived promptly, and although there was a small issue with the bill for one of our party members, it was quickly resolved without much fuss. We were seated right away thanks to our reservation. For my main, I chose the Rigatoni All’Amatriciana with gluten-free pasta. It was fine, though I was expecting a more visually appealing presentation. The standout items for me were the Arancini starter, which was both delicious and well-presented, and the dessert, which was equally satisfying. One thing that caught me by surprise, especially compared to neighbouring Italian restaurants, was that there was no offer of Parmesan as a topping for our dishes, something I would have expected. Overall, I’d consider returning, but I’d likely choose a quieter time and opt for the à la carte menu rather than the set dinner menu.

The gluten free pizzas were an embarrassment to look at. There was barely any sauce on them, so little in fact that you could see the base underneath! Not to mention the cheese was cold... The place was lovely and the staff were nice but if you're going to serve God awful pizzas you're better off removing them from your menu

Alex Morgan

The food was nice, but overpriced. Charge extra for gluten free substitution for pizza. Gnocchi sauce was very weak in flavour. The group sat next us were extremely loud, at multiple points standing up and yelling, singing, etc. and were not once told to quiet down. Staff came over at multiple points to ask if we wanted our food boxed up to go and we felt rushed out the door, despite the restaurant being full and not closing for a half hour. Two staff members were chatting in the corner of the room, and despite trying to wave them over repeatedly so we could comment on the noise level, ignored us. When a different member of staff noticed us amd came over, we just asked for the bill because it had been 20 minites, the restaurant was about to close and it wasn't worth it. We don't think we will be returning.

Natália Passos

Amazing staff and delicious food! They have gluten free pasta available.

Erin Dunn

Treated my sister and her husband to a dinner for her first night on her honeymoon. The food was great however after specifically stating her allergy to gluten several times, the waiter offered a stated “gluten free” brownie for their dessert which she later found out was not at all gluten free. She spent the next 3 nights of their honeymoon extremely sick. The food and service was otherwise good but I would not recommend coming here if you have an allergy as they do not seem to take them very seriously

Rachel Ni Fhearghusa

I have always struggled to find somewhere to eat in Dundrum. My meal was made gluten free for me with no hassle at all and it was fantastic. The portions were huge and the service was friendly and faultless
