Top 4 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Emilia-Romagna

Rocco Maiorano

We were looking for a solution for gluten free food in Bologna. The Vecchio Mercato restaurant met the requirements because it is an AIC certified restaurant. We came at different times for lunch. Let's start by saying that the pasta they offer is all homemade. There are appetizers, first and second courses, both meat and fish and finally also desserts and ice creams, always made by them and NOT packaged. We took some aubergine appetizers (croquettes, parmigiana and rolls) all with excellent flavor and tasty enough to make you want to have more. But let's go slowly. The first ones. The maccheroncini with bacon and the very tasty Bolognese balanzoni gave no hint of a different flavor compared to a dish made with classic flours. Huge portions!!!! Here too, for the flavor (and if there had been some room in the stomach) we would have taken another portion. The seconds. The bacon with a bed of polenta cooked to perfection, balanced in flavor and very tender meat, so much so that it could be cut with a fork and finally the Petroniana cutlet. Well, do you know ceramic trays? Well it was full of meat, here too cooked to perfection and loaded with ham (for those who know it, you know what I'm talking about) we struggled to finish it!! And finally the desserts... I repeat, the difference with those made with wheat flour is absolutely not noticeable! The staff, knowledgeable and kind, made us feel at home, even recommending dishes, which turned out to be excellent advice on pairings! A 10 out of 10 for the Vecchio Mercato!

We received a recommendation today for the best Lasagna Bolognese in Bologna - it was correct. We had a fantastic meal tonight at La Capriata. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we were offered a dedicated Gluten Free menu which was a nice touch. All four of us really enjoyed our dinner.

Alessandro Del Gaudio

We ate here for lunch today, excellent service and excellent food. We have two people with celiac disease and the care and attention of the staff was excellent. Fair price, despite the distance we will definitely return.

Alberto Ventura

Really good pizza. High quality of products, modern and simple location. Different types of dough, even gluten free. Good service, I recommend

andrea arcaro

Very nice place, worth it and for those who are celiac like my wife you will find everything and more... 100 cum laude I recommend it to everyone

Enrico Gilioli

Good experience, wide choice on the gluten-free menu, good dishes served quickly. We ate an appetizer divided into 2, 2 fish main courses, accompanied by artisanal gluten-free bread, and freshly baked hot pizza focaccia. Drank 2 glasses of prosecco, 1 bottle of water, and finished with 2 sorbets

enrico Paltrinieri

Excellent gluten free pizza!!!!

Andrea Grini

My go-to for gluten-free piadina. Absolutely the best I've ever eaten. First courses and desserts also available. Optimal

Victoria Gibson

They have a lot of gluten free options. The bread is extraordinary! My husband and I ordered tagliere for 2 and it was great. Because I’m celiac, both breads were gluten free and he actuallly said it was very tasteful. I 100% Recommend this place if you are gluten intolerant/ celiac. Location wise? It couldn’t be better. Just a few meters away from the Torre Dell’Orologio and the Neptune Fountain.

Line Bjørnebo

This is my favorite pizzeria in Modena! The dough is so delicious that I'm tempted to buy a pizza without any toppings at all. The gluten-free pizzas look in a completely other league than in any other pizzeria I have visited. My friends who are gluten intolerant or allergic have told me this is the best alternative they have tried. The pizzeria is also cozy, with a noise level that permits you to have conversations at the table. Recommended!

Valeria Cantini Serrano

I only found such a good gluten-free pizza in Naples! Extremely kind and friendly waiters, congratulations.

endika ibarra miquelarena

A top discovery!!! The entire menu was gluten-free, everything we tried was delicious and the waiters were super nice and attentive, the place was full and that's for a reason!!

Maurizio Garbin

Excellent Romagna piadina, also gluten-free Dogs are also accepted Really very kind

danilo neri

I haven't had this good time at dinner with the whole family in years! Wide choice both for me, celiac, and for the rest of the family. Excellent price quality

Marlon Costantino

After so much wandering, finally a restaurant where eating gluten-free has no difference from normal dishes... super good food, kind and helpful staff, very nice restaurant...

Giacomo Di Domizio

Our first need was to find a pizzeria that cooked gluten-free pizzas and the Due Lune restaurant has a double menu for celiacs and is an AIC restaurant. The pizzas with and without gluten are excellent, as is the service, friendly and fast staff. The place is large and due to the large tables the environment sometimes becomes a bit noisy but if the company is good and the food is good too, you don't notice. Well done!

Lisa Delsoldato

Kind and helpful staff, attentive to the management of "gluten-free". Excellent gluten-free pizza! ❤️

Camilla Bruni

The place is aesthetically satisfying, the staff is very courteous and prepared. The dishes we had the opportunity to taste were truly a high-level sensory experience (especially the seafood amatriciana was truly surprising for the intensity of the flavor despite the simplicity of the ingredients) I particularly appreciated the sensitivity towards gluten intolerance and the variety of menu offered. Great work.

Federico Poccetti

A beautiful restaurant and particular attention to those who, like my girlfriend, are intolerant to gluten and other allergies

Maria Grazia

Super satisfied! Excellent quality food, delicious. Generous portions. Excellent service, kind, friendly and helpful staff. Nice environment. Fair prices. It is possible to order gluten-free dishes (AIC), which is essential for me. Finally I was able to eat tigelle and fried dumplings too, very happy! We will definitely return to Modena to eat at their place. I recommend it to you. If I could give more stars I would give them ❤️

Laura Semplice

Gluten-free pizza 💯

Laura Bellan

I went to the farmyards for the first time after hearing very good things about it and I must say that the reviews are not wrong! The food was divine, great attention was given to celiacs, a beautiful place and availability and courtesy from everyone. Congratulations we will be back for sure!

Clarissa Bechini

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

Linda Gentilini

Pizza!

SILVIA

Inedible gluten-free pizza, can't even be cut with a hose! Disappointing.

Domenica Off

Pizza with excellent leavening, large and well seasoned, also gluten-free. Excellent home delivery service. Welcoming and helpful staff. I highly recommend

Robbie Dragone

We had lunch in this restaurant for my graduation, the food was delicious, from the pizzas to the first courses and also the desserts, the staff was very kind, and the place was very welcoming. The gluten-free cuisine is reliable and is effectively gluten-free and contamination-free, as unfortunately does not happen in other restaurants. Even though we were a little late due to some problems and with lunch we exceeded the closing time of the restaurant, the staff was still very kind and helpful in understanding the situation, without making us feel it in any way. I highly recommend this restaurant, thanks again!

Benedetta Conti

Well-kept and welcoming environment, excellent gluten-free dishes. Compliments

Alberto Parisio

small kiosk with the possibility of having lunch with piadinas and local specialties, also gluten-free. Small outdoor terrace. They don't give table service. Good and well-filled piadinas.

Daniela Ianniello

Amazing. Truly the best gluten free pizza I've ever eaten. But the "glutinous" pizza is also delicious. Too bad it's far away. But at the first opportunity I'll go back ☺️☺️

Giulio Giorgieri

We were there for lunch on a weekday, basically a 'luxury' company canteen, i.e. everything well organized and good food, self-service and very cheap prices. We went there because it also offers the possibility of eating gluten-free.

SIMONE DELMONTE

Very kind staff and excellent dishes. Exceptional gluten-free pizza!!

Federica Simonetti

Good, good, good. I had a mini holiday in Ferrara and stayed near this bar. I tried both the brioche, the aperitif and their sweets. Everything excellent and gluten-free!

Maxipizza Modding

I've been to this place several times but I waited to review it to try all the dishes, from first courses to pizza. I decided to give 5 stars for the friendliness of the staff, the familiarity of the environment, the fast and efficient service efficient and excellent value for money. Note of merit for the gluten-free pizza, large and super seasoned with soft and light dough. If you pass through Forlì I highly recommend trying this pizzeria restaurant.

Nicolò Reali

Lunch with friends in a refined and welcoming environment. Orderly and precise service. Fresh fish cuisine of excellent quality and quantity. Mixed hot and cold appetizers, tagliolini with prawns, grilled and fried fish, wonderful Chantilly millefeuille. Even gluten free!! Price definitely below average compared to the perceived quality. I recommend Al 45 for any occasion or even just to enjoy a quality lunch or dinner in maximum relaxation!

Jennifer Schaffer

One of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had!

Fabio Sabadini

Finally I also find an AIC certified place in Parma that can satisfy my celiac needs!! I'm just sorry I found out so late. I will be a regular customer from now on! For now I have only tasted the fried gnocco and the pizza, both EXCELLENT! I will return with pleasure.

Paolo Bertolotti

Lots of gluten-free alternatives. Quality, that's the difference. Many now offer gluten free but packaged/industrial products, often not even comparable to traditional ones. Here it is identical, said by Emiliano. Really good

spongi bob

Delicious gluten-free pizza. Reference point for celiacs!

Michi R

It's inside the shopping center so it's a bit chaotic but the pizza is exceptional, only eaten like this in Naples and what shouldn't be underestimated is that the gluten-free one is on par with the one with gluten, very good.

Andrea Di Feo

Quiet, formal place. A place that is part of the Aic circuit, the pizza with and without gluten is good, as are the desserts, all gluten-free. Advised.

Francesca D'Angelo

Gluten-free is also spectacular

cesare bonetti

Kind and professional waitress, good and fresh food and possibly gluten-free. All perfect. Prices not low, but honest

Rossella Bonomi

bread, pizza, desserts and first courses: all gluten-free, all made by them, all truly delicious, in my opinion! being a take away it naturally doesn't have table service, but the welcome and smile of these girls makes it a pleasure to go and get food at the counter

Enzo Palmieri

Excellent fast and efficient service, gluten free is also good

stefano ferretti

A DOC trattoria! A magnificent thing in the times of a restaurant now full of superfluous trifles! Fantastic cappelletti with asparagus and ham! An absolutely good and varied fried food! Everything was then gluten-free due to my partner's needs! All really authentic and really good! I will be back very soon because unfortunately I couldn't eat the pizza which I can say I would already take just from the presentation!!! Obviously they also guarantee gluten-free pizza; Mr. Walter has been dealing with it for 30 years! I highly recommend it to lovers of true values ​​and flavours!

Roberto Bianchini

They found us a place even if we booked at the last moment. We chose it because it offers cuisine for celiacs. The gluten-free piadina and fish first courses are good. Precise and fast service.

Caterina -

The gluten-free and lactose-free pizza is also excellent, being home-made which is rare to find in the city, it is superb. Service to improve. Original location.

Ursula Lolli

We ate really well. Even the gluten-free dishes are really good and plentiful!

Simona Giusti

Good gluten-free pizza, sometimes a little overcooked, but good
