Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Bologna

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.

Alberto Ventura

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

enrico Paltrinieri

Excellent gluten free pizza!!!!

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.

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!!

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!

Clarissa Bechini

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

Domenica Off

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

Jennifer Schaffer

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

Monika Masica

Great gluten free food with many options to choose. I was so happy to find this place as I am gluten inteligent and it is hard to find good breakfast in new places. It saved my life cause I was very hungry after the trip. I came back several times and I will be back again for sure :)

Lucia Simoni

The room on the first floor is very nice, good that you have a menu for celiacs

Builder Mcleod

Wow wow wow! Great joint for lunch. Great friendly welcome. Menu explained, GF pizza all round! ( warning, the kitchen is a one and all for us coeliacs) in saying that, I’m feeling fine hours later and I react pretty fast. So well done on them. Pizza was massive, I’m a big guy and struggled ( but won! ) tasted amazing. The nautical theme is awesome. Big ups. Go, you know you want to now.

Lorenzo Bortolotti

Friendly staff and top and freshest Riviera products. Wide choice of gluten-free. Excellent for those looking for a quick meal at a low price

Juan Ricardo Angel

Very good place to eat, we had a delicious tricolore pizza and there is a gluten-free option. Highly recommended

Alice Dall'Aglio

Excellent Bavarian cuisine restaurant. Excellent gluten-free dishes, with an example in the photo and a location adhering to the AIC. Equipped with ample parking and children's space.

Olivia

The owner of Bruscè is very friendly and you feel comfortable there. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten-free and I received a large selection of gluten-free dishes there. For breakfast we had omelettes, pancakes and a yoghurt fruit bowl with granola, and for lunch we had delicious gnocchi. Highly recommended!

My cousins ​​and I had gone to Bologna for the day, walking through the streets. We were stopped by the waiter to make us curious and sit at the table as it was lunch time. We said it was fine but before accepting I asked if they have gluten-free food and they said yes. I asked if they could confirm the non-contamination and they assured me again that yes. So we decided to sit down and have lunch after this information. While we are taking the order we ask if they also have gluten-free bread available with the starter together with the cured meats and they say yes. We order appetizer and first course. As soon as the starter is activated, we ask where the gluten-free bread is and they tell us that it's coming, another 10 minutes pass and the bread hadn't arrived yet, we ask for it and they tell us "but we don't have gluten-free bread" and another waiter says yes, we do. So I asked myself two questions there and I said sorry but did you have it or not because I would like to understand what I'm eating and they told me that if I don't like it I can leave. At that point we ask for the bill of what we ate to leave. The manager said that if there is this celiac problem we can also eat at home without going to trouble in restaurants and the waiter Enzo lied to us about what they really had In short, it was a very bad experience that ended with the police, the person in charge shouting at me and other girls, placing himself with my love in our faces. Rude and rude restaurants They act nice just to attract customers not to mention the shocking prices they have. If you have cheerfulness or intolerances, don't go to this place because you don't know what you're eating

Riccardo Giacopino

Excellent food, even gluten-free, friendly staff and a special thanks to Enzo

Clarissa Bechini

Excellent food, each dish is amazing and well studied! The waiter knew everything about celiac and I could enjoy my dinner without any worries.

Giulia Bettini

Excellent quality, even gluten-free. Pizzas always hot and tasty!

Giulia Bettio

Good food, there is also a menu for celiacs, which is decidedly typical. The staff very nice and friendly.

Roser Piarnau

Pizzeria in the center of Bologna, with a very cozy terrace, the dough was delicious, we were served by Chiara, very friendly and pleasant. It has a gluten-free dough option and gluten-free beer.

Ana Miguel

They took great care of us, despite it being late for their schedule. With gluten-free pasta option. Good value for money

Samantha Mazzoli

Lovely little place with a wide choice of vegan dishes and gluten-free options. Beautiful presentation of the dishes, fresh and well-matched ingredients. GO VEGAN 🌱

Teresa Di Natale

Lots of gluten-free options, I went there for an aperitif and had tigelle with a cutting board. Everything was very good, very kind and friendly staff. I highly recommend booking. The only flaw is the price, in my opinion a bit high compared to the quantity given.

Susann Dörner

Great restaurant. Very tasty food and friendly and courteous staff (some even speak English). There were two of us and luckily we got a table without a reservation. When we accidentally ordered the wrong appetizer platter, we were able to return it without any problems. The price-performance ratio is more than reasonable (3 courses for 2 people were available for €50! including non-alcoholic drinks). It was a wonderful evening, we would love to come back. *Gluten-free dishes possible

Aurora Quartararo

The Chiosco ai Pini in Bologna is an excellent choice for those looking for an informal and tasty place! They offer gluten-free options, including gnocchi and tigelle, prepared with great care. The quality of the food is good and the portions are generous, making the experience very satisfying. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a lunch or dinner with friends. An excellent option for those who have particular dietary needs, but don't want to give up taste! Advised!

Henrik Byenstuen

A iconic stereotypical Italian corner restaurant/cafe, which I would recommend everyone to visit. The topping of the sandwich was very tasty with a lot of flavor, but the gluten free bread was quite directly dry. So much dry that I wonder if the ones deciding the bread even has tried it, because even cheap supermarket bread would be preferred above it. But it should be mentioned that the breads with gluten were by the rest of the group met with better reviews. The staff was few making at one point a long queue, as of the one attending the cash register where helping preparing the food. To be fair, the restaurant were at this moment quite crowded.

Giulia Rivellino

Fantastic! Even though it was a Saturday evening, the owners found us a table for 6 people and were very helpful. Delicious food, perfect atmosphere and music. Also available for celiacs

Alessandra Vacarciuc

Optimal. Even for those with celiac disease

Federica

I ordered a cake for my graduation party: it was really delicious, everyone was impressed, truly special taste!!! The happiness of being able to eat an exquisite dessert, completely vegan and gluten free 😍😍😍

Carmen Pérez

A beautiful place to eat authentic bolognese. Gluten-free pasta option.

Roberta Diesi

I celebrated my graduation in this restaurant with family and friends. All the courses were delicious and plentiful, the owner and the waiters were uniquely kind and helpful. They are also available for those with dietary restrictions, in fact two of us were vegetarians and one was gluten intolerant and they also offered us some very good options. Advise!

D. H.

Finally a restaurant that offers the famous Tagliatelle al Ragout gluten-free! It was also super tasty and the service was also very friendly. If we come back to Bolognia we will definitely be guests here again.

William Orsi

I have been going to this restaurant for years, there is a celiac in the family and they are always very attentive, which is much appreciated. The service is fast and the prices are adequate. There are some Thai options on the menu, both the Japanese and Chinese dishes are good. Highly recommended.

Debbi De Francesco

Fram offers excellent vegetable cuisine with particular attention to gluten-free, unique in Bologna! Excellent dinner, very nice staff, very pleasant atmosphere… I will definitely be back!

Pierluigi Fabio

Fabulous little place in the center of Bologna, super suitable for celiacs, we ate the real small gluten-free Bolognese tortellini with parmesan cream. Very friendly staff and owner. Ballanzoni and tagliatelle Bolognese, not for celiacs, fabulous and also an appetizer of cold cuts and fried gnocco equally phenomenal.....go there, it's worth it...really

Jasmin Konlechner

Gluten free pasta. Very nice service

Donatella Andria

Options for celiacs! Finally a celiac can eat a sandwich like all other human beings by choosing the same ingredients from the menu as a normal gastric person! Interesting place, inspired by the tradition of the city, but, at the same time, modern. Ideal for a pleasant stop. Cost for gluten-free sandwich and half a liter of water €9.10, I would say on average for prices in this no longer cheap city...

Adil Khan

Ristorante Greco Vikos in Bologna offers authentic Greek cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. Popular dishes include mussaka and octopus, with options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free diets. While some find the portions small and prices high, the quality of food and attentive service make it a favorite among locals and visitors

Artturi Laitakari

A really nice gluten-free selection, nothing gourmet but good.

Nicole Frani

I want to share my culinary experience with everyone, excellent quality cuisine and pizza, a special mention for the GLUTEN FREE pizza, one of the best I have ever eaten!!! Excellent service and very kind waitresses.

Giuliana Giammaria

It's misleading to write gluten-free options which then send you away if you have celiac disease. Plus the girls aren't the most friendly. Not recommended *** You told me the first time that there was the possibility of contamination, I said okay and sat down, then another lady came to reiterate the concept, so was it me who wanted to leave or was it you who didn't have want to let me eat in your restaurant? Unfortunately we know that if the cuisine is unique there can be contamination, you just need to be very careful, which you probably don't want to do. Also, there are few restaurants that have double kitchens but they are happy to pay attention. However, I repeat that it is not recommended for celiacs.

Angela Madia

Really great place Very friendly staff Dishes of excellent quality and flavor for us celiacs... very good

Federica V.

Great cocktails and several gluten free options on the menu. The gluten free bread on the burger is excellent!

Carlo D'amato

We had dinner here 2 evenings and it was exceptional, top notch food, friendly service and also gluten-free preparation, very kind staff, they make you feel as if you were at home, highly recommended.

Andrea Maretto

Exceptional first courses a few meters from Piazza Maggiore. Local cockerel made to perfection. Quick and courteous service. Special thanks for the availability of gluten-free bread!

Daniela

Considering that I don't like fast food, the sandwich here is much better than McDonald's. There is also something gluten-free: they say there is a risk of contamination, but the celiac boy who serves the tables explains the presentation calmly and confidently (we never felt sick).

Against Grey

Delicious, refined cuisine and exceptional service. Stefano Ferrari followed us, attentive to all our needs and always available, number one. They also have a separate menu for celiacs with many options and all delicious❤ the location? Come and see it!!
