Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Edinburgh

A P

Service is friendly, loads of GF options. GF food fried separately. I'm coeliac and ordered a few times here and no issues. Highly recommend this chippy.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Julia Villoldo

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

Had a great experience with hen party of 12 at this restaurant this weekend, food and drinks lovely and there was something for everyone, they had no problems advising on gluten free substitution last minute, 3 course group menu value for money and atmosphere was lovely, buzzing and we could chat freely. Easy to book and deposit was taken off bill as advised. Thank you very much

Been here and had take away multiple times and loved it but this last time got take away for a gluten free pizza and was awful the crust was both chewy and burnt.

Graham Robb

Had minestrone to start which was lukewarm. Carbonate for main was average and the crepes for dessert which was lovely. Staff were very pleasant and the cafe itself had a comfortable feel. Toilets were spotless. Also had a wide variety of gluten free options for all courses.

Lucy Taws

The gluten free menu was clear and had quite a few options, however you are limited to fusilli pasta. The meals were delicious and I would really recommend the honey glazed sausages with the smoked chilli sauce for a starter. 20% off for students as well

Kiana Rome

We had a lovely time. Tanya was amazing and attentive! Love the gluten free friendly pasta!

Kristyna Grussova

Ula was most amazing! Showed me how to use the rewards app. Recommended new Gluten free base and explained the difference. Truly great experience for solo dining!

Michelle Cabena

Pizzas and pasta have GF options. The pizzas we had were generously loaded and tasted great.

Iván Román

A very pleasant experience. The pizzas are very good and are generous in size. They have gluten-free options for the entire menu. We were also lucky to be assisted by Calum, who speaks Spanish very well and who made sure that we were comfortable at all times.

Charlotte Lunn

The food here is really good. Excellent gluten free selection and a great atmosphere. One thing to watch out for is that the place is cash-free so you have to pay by card, and if you don't specifically ask the waiter you might not get the chance to tip. Would absolutely come here again

maria del mar olmo

Italian restaurant "15 minutes" from the Royal Mile, offers a perfect combination of delicious food and welcoming service that makes you feel at home from the first moment. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. One of the highlights was their attention and dedication to dietary needs, particularly gluten-free and fructose-free food preparation. A ten from Cuenca, Spain-

Fiona Yeang

Great place. Entrance is wheelchair accessible, and the gluten-free pizza base is fantastic. Friendly service, good atmosphere.

Glenn Whitelaw

Excellent quality good food and gluten free options for pasta and pizza

Grzegorz Borowiecki

A cute small restaurant serving superb and delicious vegan food with an abundance of gluten free options. Their GF dough is one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, and they have delicious wines too. Staff is wonderfully hospitable and make you feel like you’re at home.

Raman Preet Singh

Good Italian food at a reasonable price. They had plenty of gluten free options which was great.

Hayley Forsythe

Unfriendly service. The food is delicious and very fresh which makes up for the poor experience of service. They also have gluten free pizza and options!

Kate Oliphant

We are both gluten and dairy intolerant so it's so nice to go somewhere, not be worried if there's something we can eat. be comfortable and the waiter was lovely

Toko K

Really delicious pasta also gluten free. But forget garlic bread it's not worth eating

Holly WB

Great food and brilliant atmosphere. Leo, our waiter, was very attentive to our gluten free needs, even creating a gluten free alternative starter for us. Fantastic experience.

Eric Ramon

Wow, this place was just amazing. We spent 2.5 weeks in Scotland and this was probably our favorite restaurant/meal of the trip. Food and cocktails were amazing. I can’t have gluten and even their meals with no gluten ingredients were fantastic. Wish we had time to go back a second time.

Grainne Rr

Such a good place to eat. Great food and excellent service. Gluten free pasta option is a bonus

Caroline Kirk

Marzena was so helpful, friendly and quick and we very much appreciated her washing her hands before serving my ceoliac son's gluten free meal.

Jeremiah Perkins

Great food... Great atmosphere.... It amazing service! We went here for our first restaurant in Edinburgh and it didn't disappoint! First of all my wife is gluten free and they had a really good GF pizza crust, GF bread for hummus and many many other options. Second, the atmosphere was electric and seemed for of energy! Third, the service was amazing!!! Alexandra deserves a raise! She was awesome! We asked her a question not related to the restaurant (a good bar to go to) and she spent time to ask others about their recommendations! Just great service!!! But seriously if you own this establishment, make sure people like her stay here!

David Jans

Mixed feelings. I visited last night, choosing this branch based on great past experiences with gluten-free pizzas at other PE locations. The food here was just as tasty—no complaints there! Unfortunately, something went wrong, and I ended up unwell due to gluten contamination. I hadn’t initially paid attention to the prep area, but later noticed shared utensils and what looked like the same oven being used. If you’re coeliac, I wouldn’t recommend this branch due to cross-contamination risks. I’d love to return because the food was genuinely good, but only if there’s greater awareness and care around what “gluten-free” truly means—especially for those of us who rely on more than just a label in the menu.

Zita Tóth

I recently had a piece of cake and a drink at Zizzi in Ocean Terminal. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have gluten-free options for desserts, which was a nice surprise. Also, the view from the restaurant is amazing, overlooking the port at Leith.

Rachel Bond

They were able to adapt any pizza or pasta to gluten free which is fantastic. My husband loved their mussels and their rigatoni was lovely. I also got a gluten free blueberry tart that was out of this world.

Soup Q

Delicious, authentic food served in a hospitable and welcoming atmosphere. Service was awesome and everyone was kind. Pasta is made fresh and the menu has a wonderful variety including vegetarian and gluten free options.

Emily hallsworth

So friendly and comfy, excellent gluten free bruschetta and the chips were also GF!

alisa

Daniel Cairns

Update: went again because I had such a great experience, second time was probably even better! I love this place. Staff make all the difference (obviously food and drink too). For example, while waiting in line Frederico greeted us -he didn't have to, he welcomed us and made us feel at home. Love Tempo Perso! Great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. Just right! Would recommend and look forward to visiting again. Gluten free options available

Astrid Jansen

The best gluten free pizza I’ve had in a very long time and the best I’ve experienced in Edinburgh, really great fresh ingredients and super friendly staff. They are very cross contamination aware and even have a separate gluten free oven which is a coeliacs dream! Can’t recommend them enough, I’ve already been back a couple of times since discovering them, thank you!

Letícia Lara

The pizza is delicious. I ordered a gluten free pizza it was fantastic! My friends had normal pizza and they were very satisfied as well. We will definitely come back another time 😋

CRISTINA CB

I went to eat there and Irina served us very well! She explained to us what dishes I could eat due to my gluten intolerance and was super attentive at all times, they take cross contamination into account. The food was delicious and the place is very beautiful! I recommend it 100% I will return for sure!

Quinton Pagel Wood

Really great experience, and the service was amazing. Really great if your Coeliac too! Definitely recommend!

Tim Allen

Wonderful food. The closest I'll get to Italy this year! Catered very well for one of our gluten free diet. Will go back again!

Daniel Steele

Service was great and food was good. Good accommodation for gluten free requirements

Zahid Ali

Staff are nice and friendly, food was ready right on time. As for the food itself, we went for a hot and spicy pizza, mac and cheese and a side of skin on fries. Really enjoyed the pizza, very well made. Mac and cheese was nice and creamy, the skin on fries were cooked to perfection. Gluten free pizza annd pasta also available which can be a rarity to find. I’m sure I’ll be back again soon to try the other pizza toppings!

Kristian Hayes

Delicious authentic Italian food. They even had a gluten free pasta option. I would highly recommend the mixed seafood pasta.

Felipe Izquierdo Brezo

Small and cozy restaurant with great Italian food and a variety of wines. Also many Gluten Free options!

Gordon Allcock

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had.

Jagoda

The best gluten-free pizza I've ever had! ❤️

Claire McClurg

They were short staffed the day we were in but all bar one employee there was doing their best to keep things going. The food was reasonable but not so treat that we'd make a point of going back. It was chosen as their menu could cope with the dairy and gluten intolerance within the party but the choices were limited. Will probably look for somewhere else if we go back to Edinburgh.

Kabita Parajuli

Warm atmosphere and setting, funny and gruff service, and decent carciofi salad and haggis pasta (if you’re looking for an authentic Scottish fusion?). generally have very flexible standards for food, but if you have celiac disease, please give this place a miss. The gf pasta arrived looking quite literally like soup, a 2 because the flavor was decent - but shouldn’t have required a spoon to eat (and probably shouldn’t be served that way?).

Emma Bousfield

Delicious! Couldn’t say more good things about this place. Went with my parents and we had an incredible meal with excellent service. They’re super flexible to dietary restrictions - I enjoyed an amazing gluten free, vegetarian pasta. Definitely save room for dessert - the cacio & strawberry sorbet are the perfect finishers.

Derek Nsoedo

Good dining in experience with a nice view of the Britannia, very nice waiters & good service. Atmosphere was pretty quiet which my brother and I liked. Very broad menu options to choose from with gluten free & vegetarian options. Definitely worth the visit !

Ziad Rahman

Got this delivered, came quickly, food was great. Packaged well. Decent options for gluten free and vegan too. Will definitely be back.

Graham Bruce

Fantastic fresh pizza with great gluten free options! Highly recommend to sit in or take away.
