Busy but we got a seat fairly quickly. Menu is easy to navigate, choose a base.. gluten free option then choose your pizza flavour. Most delicious gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten.

They didn’t earn the title of the best gluten free pizza in the world by accident — they truly do have some of the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Plus they can also make all their dishes lactose free. I ordered a gf and lactose free pizza and it was fantastic. They even had gluten free bread for an appetizer. Will be going back any chance we get!

Sarah Conroy

Amazing visit for our family, staff were great with kids and very accommodating. Loads of gluten free options - very very happy!

We came to this restaurant because they have a separate gluten free menu. The options are quite extensive, from gluten free spaghetti and pici to Tuscan beef tripe. They don't make the pasta themselves though. You do need to reserve in advance because the place is quite touristy and we found the atmosphere to be quite hectic.

A decent spot for a celiac trying to navigate eating out while traveling. Being handed an entirely separate and gluten free menu felt comforting after walking out of a restaurant who wouldn’t indicate which, if any, dishes were safe. The meal itself was good for being gluten free. I’m only a few months in to my diagnosis so I still compare to regular pastas and dishes which can be tough. I ordered the ravioli which was semi-bland but I still enjoyed it.

If you are looking for a restaurant that offers its entire menu with AND gluten-free + lactose-free, each cooked in its own isolated kitchen then look no further! Mama Eat is THE restaurant in Florence where food intolerances can share their table with people without intolerance without any restrictions on the menu. The staff is very kind and attentive. The atmosphere is very nice, a little away from the busy places which allows you to be calm even outside.

Rossana Wyatt

Great selection, food was very good and service was wonderful!

Shai Backus

Staff were lovely. Everything gluten free gives great peace of mind. Risotto was delicious.

Werner Rödel

They serve gluten-free pizza and pasta here. It was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten.

Sarah Conroy

Absolute godsend for families!!!!!! Everything gluten free and a kids play area. Win win win!

Sarah Connell

I have a gluten allergy and they were amazing! They brought me a separate bowl of gluten free bread and made sure to carefully prepare my meal, making sure there was no cross contamination. This restaurant is a must try, DELICIOUS food!!

Ale Lanza

The dress does not make the priest! Come in and try... wide choice, we tried everything: fish, appetizer, GLUTEN-FREE pizza (excellent) and first courses with fresh pasta. Everything was really excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Matilde Testaferrata

Also recommended for those who follow a gluten-free diet. Ziad number one!!!!

Gregg Kennedy

Great quick lunch spot. Gluten free pizza, AIC certified. Also enjoyed the Greek salad and risotto. Nothing flashy but exactly what we were looking for.

Good gluten free pizza

Emiliana Antonelli

The gluten-free red tagliatelle with wild boar are really good and tasty, the homemade gluten-free bread is served hot and is delicious... very kind staff. It's a restaurant in Florence that does almost everything gluten-free, without contamination, I really liked it!❤❤❤

Omar Lorenzo Pini

I give 1 star because you can't give 0. By phone I had explicitly asked if the gluten-free pizza dough was fresh, they told me yes, obviously the base was packaged of poor quality and the water was from the tap and hot with a strong chlorine flavour. Really poor quality/price ratio. We will never go back again really bad experience

Louisa Emberson

The best gluten free pizza i have ever had. Fresh homemade doigh, full of flavour and rhe size of the notmal ones. Any GF person knows that doesnt happen very often. We will be back one day. Compliments to the chef

Patrizia Barbieri

We spent these 2 days in Florence, everything was delicious, very attentive to gluten-free food and everyone was very kind, especially Antonio number 1, thanks for the hospitality

Valentina Baruzzo

From Carrara, we came to this place, we can only give great compliments to the staff, very knowledgeable and kind! The quality of the gluten free pizza is excellent!!! To be compared to the best gluten-free pizzas! We will definitely be back! The cut was also excellent, Well done, keep it up!!!

Federico Marra

Very good pizzeria, they only have some gluten-free starters, all the pizzas and desserts are also gluten-free. They have several vegetarian pizzas

Berta Val

Delicious! And a gluten-free pasta option A little noisy though...

Laura Grosso

I've been coming with my friends for about a year and we always leave with full bellies and satisfied. I am gluten intolerant and gluten-free focaccia is served instead of bread (which is not to be taken for granted when receiving a good product and not packaged bread), but the first courses can be made gluten-free. Really delicious and lean meat, cured meats and cheeses. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to have a quality dinner or lunch!!! Excellent service and Fabio (the waiter) is very competent, polite and attentive to the customer

Simone Mazza

Restaurant a stone's throw from the Duomo. My wife and I spent a Florentine weekend to appreciate the culture that splendid Florence has to offer. We had lunch and dinner at Lo Scudo, in the hope that they would offer gluten free alternatives. My wife, who is celiac, ate an excellent pasta with wild boar ragù and some delicious strips of lemon chicken with spinach and roasted potatoes. The staff was attentive both in taking orders and in delivering what was requested, with due care. So thank you and see you next time!

Avigail Lesnichy

Visited 5 times in one trip because it was so good delicious and very good with gluten free options!!!

Cemre Arslan

We chose it for dinner. The menu choice was quite extensive. Everything we ate was delicious and the pasta was gluten-free. 🥰The employees were friendly and caring. Thanks.

Amanda Hamrick

The food is delicious and well presented. I love their red house wine. If you have a gluten intolerance you may not in Italy! I could eat it all! Loved their red house Florentine Steak!! And Paparedelle!

Kirstin Hutton

Wonderful experience! Would have loved some gluten free bread as an option for the cover, but the meal options being celiac safe were appreciated. I really enjoyed the stew. The wine was SO good and we loved the cozy dining room. Could have stayed all night.

Daniel Angelini

If you’re looking for a local no nonsense restaurant with great food, this is the place. The menu covers all the essentials and features amazing pasta and local wines. They also cater for gluten free pasta. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome (speaking English, French and Italian). Highly recommend!

Sacrane

Fabulous food, service and ambiance. Really very warm welcome, kind and prepared, especially in the various advice and availability. The girl who managed us was really nice and it was a real pleasure to get advice from her. The only advice I feel like giving, obviously aimed at improvement, is to slightly increase the quality of the gluten-free proposals, in terms of attention to individual dishes and menu choices.

Stephanie Blenko Currier

We stopped by here during a trip to Florence from London. A friend had insisted that we make the journey out of the city to try this pizza. I was dubious as I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. Expectations were very high, but every single one of them was exceeded. The gluten free pizza was specially developed by the head chef, which the menu explained. The texture was incredible, the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The simple ingredients topping it were of very high quality and perfectly complemented the dough. My husband had a regular pizza with gluten which he also spoke very highly of. Even the desserts were sensational - my gluten free tiramisu made for a beautiful end to the meal. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; if you are gluten free and you come to Florence, you must make the journey to visit Giovanni Santarpia.

Ted Moolenaar

Super busy and super fun. Excellent service and delicious (gluten-free) pasta and pizza. Discuss in advance or come at 7:00 PM and finish eating by 8:00 PM. Highly recommended. FINE

Gábor Szekeres

Ate there twice, one was a gluten-free pasta dish (you have to ask for the gluten-free pasta but it is a not a problem for them), the other was steak. Both dishes were super tasteful and the portion size was also good. The service was also great and professional. Would recommend it to anybody.

saby mass

I took a Florentine ossobuco with accompanying beans (served not hot enough). Even though the need for a gluten-free option was indicated in the booking, they did not provide gluten-free bread and a whole series of fried dishes are contaminated with gluten and therefore not suitable for celiacs. The tiramisu was good. The place is characteristic and close to S. Maria Novella (station). Ultimately sufficient judgment no more.

Amber Easterling

A great Italian restaurant with indoor as well as a beautiful outdoor patio for seating!! The staff were very friendly and helpful! I told them I had celiac and they told me that they could make GF pasta for me and showed me which sauces I could choose from. I ended up getting Paccheri Cacio e Pepe which is a cheese and black pepper sauce.

Giorgia Spinelli

Adorably rustic setting and very friendly staff. All menu options can be made gluten-free! Very good spaghetti

Maëlle Ribes

Fast, welcoming service and very good pasta (gluten-free available). Nothing to complain about, a good place to enjoy pasta in a fairly quiet street in the city center!

Leah Berg

my favorite restaurant in florence! i have continuously returned to this place because of the AMAZING food and lovely staff :) fantastic gluten free options, great atmosphere, and friendliest staff! would absolutely recommend

Macy Erickson

Easy and fast to go gluten free pizza!

Jasmin Schwabe

If you are in Florence or the surrounding area you definitely have to go here! We have rarely eaten so well! There is also gluten-free bread, gluten-free pasta and gluten-free pizza! We were in culinary heaven... the meat was incredibly tender and good, the starters were just the perfect amount and everything was a superlative taste experience! We ate here twice during our 4 day stay. The service team welcomed us with family warmth and we felt completely at ease and we were also given excellent advice when it came to wine. Price performance is top class and the ambience is stylishly casual and you feel very comfortable! Thank you very much and keep it up! We'll be back ❤️

Manuel Anelo Rueda

The food is delicious, the service is very pleasant, and there is no problem for anyone with celiac disease.

claire kelly

Best food we have had in Florence. Pear and pecorino, Spinach and walnuts, roast beef, meatballs and wild boar pasta. Excellent coffee, excellent service. Great find! Lots of gluten free options too.

Isabelle Giabiconi

Very warm welcome from the waitress Romina, who very well presented the gluten-free, egg-free and cow's milk-free dishes to us, and who offered us to "parlare la lingua di Dante Alighieri"! Grazie mille a lei!

Camila Pertierra

The atmosphere, food and service was out of this world. The servers are well knowledgeable, the kitchen accommodates to special diets such as “gluten free”. Alex was the best server! This place is a must when in Florecene, highly recommend. 💙

Katie Heitmann

Very good food & had gluten free pasta! Amazing staff aswell!!

Zero recommended. First of all, the waiter who served us was charming. On the other hand, the restaurant is not worth it at all. The prices are exorbitant and although the food is delicious, you can eat phenomenally in other places for half or even less of the price. The portions are not large either, in fact we ordered a pizzaiola schnitzel (28 pavazos) and they gave us two cheap mini filets of loin with two pieces of mozzarella. Its cost what, 50 ct? A joke. We went among other things because they are certified gluten-free, my husband was given some supposed fresh pasta noodles (initially this option was not possible and suddenly they decided to make fresh gluten-free pasta), coincidentally very similar to Chinese rice noodles . In short, go to another trattoria where there are great ones and you won't spend the outrageous amount they are going to charge you here. Without gluten there are other much better places.

S'arrêter Prendre le Temps

An effort to make for gluten-free people. A pleasant and friendly service however.

Janne Vänskä

Incredible good food with large starter plate with hams and cheese and the beef was really worth it. Price rate is moderate and the waitress Sofia was super gentle and professional. Also gluten free is well-known and taken care off

Paola Valentina Guerra Feijoo

The food was delicious, and the value for money is very good. Super delicious gluten-free and lactose-free options. The pizzas are deceiving, they seem small but they are very filling and are delicious. The desserts are very good. The attention is great, highly recommended.

Dan Geoghegan

Went here yesterday with my son. Pouring rain outside at the time. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, some times in tourist areas this can drop but not here. The pizza was delicious and my sons gluten free pesto pasta was also very nice. I would go back.
