Michelle Cooney

Farhan did an excellent job with my food allergies! I was able to have gluten free bread, pasta, and a cookie. Would highly recommend!

Kasia

Absolutely delicious gluten-free pizza! Spaghetti and lasagna are also tasty. I definitely recommend this place.

Daniele Zarattini

Always excellent. Great attention for celiacs.

Davide Triberti

Great restaurant, great choice regarding gluten free dishes which were really good. Prices a little high, but overall a good experience.

Beautiful location in Venice Zattere area. Very good pizzas, including one gluten-free and one lactose-free. Courteous staff and reasonable prices

Aleksandra Vujović

Great restaurant, delicious meat, kind staff and has an option of gluten free meals. Also good price performance. Would recommend.

Carina Böhringer

This was our last evening in Venice and was by far the best meal! A highlight was of course the gluten-free bread with the Aperol, but also the gluten-free pasta and the tiramsu. The best gluten-free tiramsu I've eaten so far. The ambience and service were also really great. So cozy! We really felt very comfortable. Great recommendation! ☺️

My boyfriend and I stopped here just after we arrived in Venice to get some lunch. The views were spectacular from the balcony seating right over the water. We had a fabulous bottle of champagne and ordered the carbonara (I ordered regular my boyfriend ordered gluten free). The food was absolutely delicious and we also ordered a gluten free diavlo pizza but were too full to eat much of it (was super tasty as well). The service overall was great - they allowed us to put our luggage in a safe place while eating. The only downside was they gave me the gluten free pasta instead of my boyfriend who has an allergy and I’m very thankful we confirmed which was GF or else he would have ate the non-GF one and been sick for our trip. Aside from that slip up - I’d definitely reccomend!

Rosario Palacios

Ideal place to taste Italian dishes. It is surprising that they offer exquisite gluten-free pasta.

Camila Miranda

Wonderful place! Great service and food was amazing. Menu is in different languages and they have gluten free pasta!!!

Juliana Reyes

Just rate the service. We asked for gluten free food and the hostess was rude about it, then just walked away and didn't offer us any table. It felt terrible from a customer service standpoint. We just decided to leave. I only value the service. We asked about gluten free food and the hostess was a little rude with her answer, and just left and didn't offer us a table. It felt terrible from a customer service standpoint. We decided to just leave and find another place.

Adam Hawkes

Excellent food, has no gluten options, friendly and helpful staff

Alexander Arnarson

We had pizza and pasta, staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free processes and everything is made separately. Posting this review to aid other coeliac persons with this information, approval from a doctor with coeliac disease.

Rana was an excellent server. We appreciated the gluten free options 👍

Marcus W

Great food. Great atmosphere. Fantastic staff. Gluten free pizza was excellent. My wife said it was way better than the regular pizza she had elsewhere. Gnocchi carbonara was delicious (gnocchi is the GF paster option). The upstairs waiter was amazing.. Racing around making everyone happy, speaking in English, French, Italian.. Then broke out a little Japanese for a young Japanese couple.

Jimy

Good welcome, suitable for gluten-free. Thanks to you

Antonia Christianopoulos

Great pasta ! And gluten free gnocchi

Taking an authentic cooking class in Italy has been my intention for at least a decade. I was thrilled to find Mama Isa’s Cooking School on the internet and signed-up with my husband for our trip to Italy. As a dietitian, I wanted to learn how to make pasta (tagliatelle) and gelato. As both my husband and I are gluten free and vegetarian —this was a necessary part of our planning criteria. It was easy to talk with Isa on What’s App to work out the details such as the menu, our dietary restrictions, pricing information, as well as the location of the cooking school. The process was easy and Isa even provided the transportation logistics to get us to her place. When we arrived for our class, we were welcomed by Isa, and her husband and sous chef, Stefano. After a brief overview of the menu—we went to work in her nicely appointed kitchen and prep area. Isa described the order of what we would be preparing and how the ingredients worked in each recipe. Incorporating food science is essential when working with gluten free recipes as these flour blends do not work the same as typical pasta flours (notably semolina) which rely the structural network of gluten in the cooking process. My husband and I then prepared the dairy free gelato first, to give the ingredients time to be chill to create a creamy texture. Next, we made the gluten free pasta. The key to this process is let the dough sit for 30 minutes before rolling it out and cutting it into the desired shape. This gave us time to sit down for a wonderful appetizer prepared by Stefano which included wine, gluten free crackers, fresh tomatoes with balsamic vinegar & olive oil, vegetable crudites, and assorted local aged cheeses—a very lovely intermission before completing the remaining meal prep operations. After fueling up, we moved on to cutting and rolling out the pasta dough. We carefully placed the pasta on a drying mat before cooking. Our final project was to prepare a porcini mushroom sauce with freshly cut herbs—infusing a fantastic medley of flavors atop the freshly cooked pasta. Isa demonstrated her pasta plating technique to create a very eye-appealing entrée—sprinkled with freshly grated cheese and ground black pepper. We were then seated to enjoy the fruits of our labor—the fresh tagliatelle with porcini mushroom sauce with another glass of wine, followed by a decadent chocolate gelato! Throughout our interactive class, Isa provided helpful cooking and preparing tips elevating our confidence to recreate these recipes at home. Isa’s intuitive instruction, her versatility with traditional pasta recipes as well as gluten free pasta creations, and her gracious hosting skills certainly amplified our cooking experience. In addition, she emailed the recipes we made in our class as well as an assortment of other recipes to help us expand our repertoire of fresh pasta dishes and gelato varieties. Five stars to our wonderful chef and entrepreneur for inspiring us to the next level in our pasta-gelato meal combinations!

We were traveling around Venice as tourists, with a celiac friend, we came across this place that had a sign specifying that they had gluten free dishes on the menu. Located in a street very close to Piazza San Marco. We had a very good dinner. Good value for money and very friendly and helpful service. Satisfied!!! I highly recommend it.

Ela Corsetti

Everything was perfect. Very knowledgeable about gluten-free cooking. Highly recommended for celiacs. It also makes delicious gluten-free frying!

Sara D'Aniello

I haven't had gluten free pizza this bad in at least 5 years. It's a shame because in recent years gluten-free doughs have improved a lot and are increasingly better. It's a shame that there are still gluten-free pizzas like this around, which make people believe that eating gluten-free cannot be synonymous with eating well. I was very disappointed.

Arnaud Deniel

Excellent address, we were received with great kindness and my daughter had the chance to eat a delicious gluten-free pizza. THANKS

Marek Walczyszyn

Fantastic Pizza and Lasagne, also with gluten free option. Traditional taste of Italian cuisine

Andre

Excellent restaurant in Murano. Dishes also gluten-free (for celiacs) just ask. Attentive and kind staff. A lot of attention to the customer. Different choices: pizza, first courses, meat and fish. Tried Venetian appetizer. All very good. Pasta with clams, margherita pizza, Milanese cutlet, sea bass. All good and plentiful in quantity. Limoncello also offered! Advised!!

Jimy

The dishes are delicious, I was able to eat gluten free without problem

Rachel DeVyldere

Expensive but good food. €3 cover per person. €3 extra charge for gluten free pizza. Dairy in all cheese options.

Noelia No

Not suitable for celiacs, they do not guarantee contamination. They also showed me that they do not master the subject because the last comment was... "Of course, the lady is very sensitive to gluten...."

Katelyn Reilly

Owner has gluten free daughter. Everything from bruschetta to pasta to dessert.

Nikolay Stoykow

How about spaghetti with tomato sauce and gluten-free spaghetti carbonara? Both tasted good.

Susi Vee

The most delicious pasta we ate on our trip to Italy! Plus, they really spoiled me with my gluten-free diet. THANK YOU! I will remember them forever!

Nicole Janssen

Great food. Gluten-free pizza and pasta. We enjoyed the pizza. Both the gluten-free and non-gluten-free were very tasty. No separate Gluten Free menu. Just order from the menu

Vesa K

Filling and tasty pizza in every way. Chili oil was also brought to the table, which crowned the dish 💪 The wife took the gluten-free version, which was not to her liking, but still edible. The place was along a busy pedestrian street and there were a handful of tables outside. The price level is average and this pizza was around €16

Antonia Christianopoulos

Great gluten free pasta and came with gluten free bread. It was very nice

Misti St. Pierre

My gluten free pasta was delicious. My husband enjoyed his lasagna. Nice atmosphere. Service was great.

Delphine LN

Very very good gluten free pizza. Excellent calzon! Don't hesitate!

Ise W.

Very nice staff and the food was very tasty. There is gluten-free pasta.

Katrina Mcbeath

Excellent gluten free pizza, best I’ve had in Venice. Cheap too, no extra charge for gluten free base. Crispy base as a pizza should have. Highly recommend

Colleen Bolger

Could not have been happier with this place, especially the food. Wide variety of dishes where you can sample all the classics of the region, with especially great seafood. The cooking is simple and well executed which lets the dish and ingredients shine. I am wary of places with a great location on the water overcharging for mediocre food - but that is not this place at all. The location is lovely to sit and admire the lagoon and listen to the waves on the stone behind you, with adequate shade from the sun. The family that run it are so friendly and work so hard, always watching the tables and making sure people are attended to. We were lucky to be staying around the corner so could treat this place as our local and returned three times during our week in Venice. Lastly, I am coeliac and could get both gluten free pizza and spaghetti (yes, spaghetti, not just penne) plus grilled seafood and salads of course. More than that, the staff proactively raised with me anything they thought might be a cross contamination risk (baked potatoes for eg that I had not clocked they said would not be safe for me) so I could feel totally safe in their hands. Great place, thanks for looking after us.

If I could give this -♾️ stars, I would. Before arriving at this restaurant, my father and I looked at their instagram and they wrote that they have Vegan, Vegetarian, and gluten free options. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was only one waitress who was also the hostess. After waiting 3 minutes, we went up to her and asked if we could please be seated. With a roll of her eyes and a slight sigh, she responded with a “Fine.yes.you can sit here.” After we were finished looking at the menu-that only had a vegetarian section-not vegan, she came up to us and asked us what we would have to eat. My father asked her, “is the spaghetti vegan” to which she responded “No.Its pasta” with a delightful chuckle at the end. I said, “do you have anything that is vegan?” And she said “You want something gluten free? We have gluten free.” To which my father responded with a polite “No thanks, but do you have anything vegan?” “Why would we?” “You had it on instagram.”

Gluten free pizza to die for

Seb Seb

This small restaurant opposite the “Locanda” hotel has become our favorite location. Although it is located right in the main street where tourists flock, you can still enjoy your food outside in peace and quiet. The restaurant offers different cuisines and departments inside. A huge aquarium with live koi fish gets you in the mood for Japanese cuisine. Right next to it there is a refrigerator with fresh cured ham, which is a reference to Italian cuisine. We've eaten here several times. The food tastes great, the price is cheap and the toilets are clean by Venetian standards. The waiters are in a good mood and try to fulfill all wishes. The gluten-free dishes are recommended and worth mentioning here. The carbonara is one of the best in all of Venice. We'll definitely be back! Thanks.

Adrian McMunn

Angelo is excellent. Gluten free options very good.

Ruth Jakob

Lamia EL QATIB

Super nice and funny waiters. Very tasty food with gluten free options.

Noah McNamara

The owner was really sweet and accomadating, even accomadating for my celiac disease. The atmosphere was very cosy and warm, feeling small and homy. The service was great, being very kind and accepting. The food tasted amazing along with it being very cheap and allowing no service fees or travel fees for students. Overall an amazing find in Venice and a great place to have lunch or dinner

Rosy Volpe

Dinner with Wow effect! Welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service. I also recommend this place for the choice of gluten and lactose free options!
