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

Paola

Hally Bashor

Delicious! Such a treat to get to have GF tortellini!

Francesca Morandi Berselli

Papèo is the best pizzeria (even gluten-free) in Bologna, without a doubt! The selection of doughs is incredible: even for gluten-free you can choose between classic, sourdough, cereals and seeds, hemp or Neapolitan version. Each pizza is made with top ingredients and great care, and for each one a beer is also recommended to pair, a detail that really makes the difference. The place is welcoming and the staff is super prepared and kind, very attentive to the needs of those with intolerances. An experience not to be missed, even for those who are not celiac. The only sore point is the location: a bit inconvenient and out of the center. But it is absolutely worth it!

Debra Chinn

Fabulous food. Best gluten free sandwich ever! Friendly helpful staff, excellent service.

Cristian Lollini

Excellent gluten free dishes! I recommend all celiacs and non-celiacs to stop by at least once to taste their fried crescentine.

Mario Crudele

Everything is excellent, meat, fish and pizza and everything is also gluten-free! Highly recommended! Even for celiac people, they are very attentive.

Booked for five people for a summer Sunday lunch to spend time with family and grandma. The service is so excellent, attentive and friendly waiters. Good atmosphere with small attractions for children even if in summer it is difficult to stay outside due to the heat. The food pleasantly surprised me especially for the attention they have for celiacs and gluten intolerants. All very good even if not excellent. Five of us (two children included) took first or second course + side dish + dessert + coffee spending €28/person, I would say quite good. Thanks to all the staff, we will definitely return opening in an equally positive experience!

It's ok but definitely not the best gluten free food I had. I had what they called there triangle pasta and it was very aldente, a super small portion, I literally only got 4-5 pieces for €18. Plus I asked the waitress if it had meat inside, she said yes but it didn't, which is fine but give me the correct information when asked about the ingredients. I was most disappointed by the tiramisu, the biscuits where hard and nit soaked as they're supposed to be.

Javier Blanco-Romero

The best gluten-free pizza dough we've ever tried! The pizza dough is homemade, and they have separate workshops and ovens for gluten-free options, making it perfect for celiacs. The mortadella pizza was delicious!

Charlotte Hefner

Perfect for gluten free people — but even my not gluten free companion enjoyed the gluten free pizza! Loved it so much, we went twice.

Javier Blanco-Romero

Gluten-free piadinas! Great value for money.

Georgina Bowden

Delicious gluten free option pizza. Definitely recommend the amatriciana pizza with delish tomato, pesto and guanciale

Sara Foscoli

They have a gluten free menu. Great food.

Federica Bastari

Great spot for lunch! It has safe gluten free piadina and cassone with a vast range of variants

Monica

Very good gluten-free food Good value for money: we spent 28 euros each, taking tagliolini for 2, tigelle, 2 tiramisu, beer and glass. Welcoming staff

Silvia

Everything very good, with gluten-free options too!

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.

Rebecca Lenaghan

Great gluten free options - recommend their tagliatelle bolognese!

Javier Blanco-Romero

A very complete and attentive restaurant. The food is delicious, and most dishes are gluten-free by default. They also have homemade gluten-free bread! We really liked the idea of ​​eating traditional dishes in a healthier way. A good experience.

Riccardo Giacopino

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

Perrine Desgranges

We had some very good pizzas, which were huge (a little too huge). Gluten-free options are available. However, the service was a bit expensive.

Francesca Dettori

What can I say... delicious gluten-free pizza... very nice and welcoming location... excellent service and impeccable welcome... strong point the waitress Chiara... a polite person, very nice, sunny and fun... highly recommended...

Sarah Nuccitelli

It is a pleasant place, in the green hills of Bologna. The location is fantastic and pleasant! I've frequented this restaurant over the course of many years, I hadn't been in a while, and frankly I was a little disappointed. The menu does not specify which gluten-free foods are available, and the waiter who was supposed to take the order went back and forth a few times to ask for information and had no idea how to direct us. Inflation is fine, but we spent about double compared to 2/3 years ago, for the service and the type of dishes offered... we were disappointed.

Ana Miguel

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

Thomas Krüger

Very tasty. Large selection of gluten-free dishes. Gluten is clearly indicated on the menu.

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.

Laura S

Meat, fish and pizza restaurant, very large, with indoor and outdoor veranda spaces. Usually generous and tasty portions. Attentive and helpful staff. Possibility of eating a good gluten-free pizza too. :) Recommended!

FLAVIO BOTTIROLI

Great service, excellent dishes, super prepared for gluten free!!! Truly spectacular! And at a very honest price!!! Excellent!

annachiara cobelli

We came across it by chance but we were really surprised, the place was lovely and the staff were very knowledgeable and very kind. The food was really excellent and with different choices for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs. Recommended house wines

Arianna (Arya)

Excellent food, fantastic atmosphere (tavern style) and equally good service. There were 6 of us and we ate everything… There is a fixed menu and then two other menus (one vegetarian and one gluten free)… I will definitely go back during my trips to Bologna and the surrounding area

Annarita Bertotto

This prosciutto shop can be a typical place to enjoy excellent platters of cured meats and cheeses, also waiting for the gluten free. Characteristic place

Carmen Pérez

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

Alex Nikolaidou

Really lovely cafe, lush cosy queer-friendly vibes. Soft jazz in the background. Lots of locals (probably students) quietly working on laptops to one side of the cafe. We had a delicious savoury tart (vegan and gluten free) as their kitchen is closed between 3.30 and 7pm so couldn’t have proper lunch, but there is counter cakes and tarts available when the kitchen is closed. Tasty kombucha options and they do matcha lattes which seem hard to across in Bologna. Great spot!

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.

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 😍😍😍

Larry Cox

Arianna Ghinelli

Good sushi, slightly above the average for all you can eat in the city. They present a large variety of dishes and are very attentive to gluten-free (which can be indicated via the ordering tablet).

Anima Luce

It is an enchantment of aromas and flavours, nothing to do with other Greek restaurants in Bologna, a little place sheltered by large lime trees which also make being outside pleasant. Inside there are few well-studied furnishings and a family atmosphere. We were served by the very sweet and loving owner who communicates passion and love for the quality of her dishes. Excellent attention and care also for gluten free, and excellent choice of dishes. I left happy to have been there and with the desire to return as soon as possible. Five stars are too few!!! ❤️

Artturi Laitakari

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

Trudy Johnson

Sofia Arena

Nice place, very kind and friendly staff, very good cocktails, decent food. Maybe a little expensive, but still affordable. As a celiac I don't find many places to have an aperitif of this type, they are not certified but they have two different fryers and it seems that they pay attention, I feel like recommending it

I discovered "l'antica trattoria del cacciatore" during the long search for the perfect restaurant for my wedding. I visited so many where I ate and had estimates prepared for more than 100 guests. When Stefano (the owner) welcomed me and my wife at the entrance I immediately felt at home. Stefano is an exceptional man, he welcomed us like no other restaurateur had done before. He listened to our needs and immediately did his best to accommodate us from all points of view. The place is large, clean and welcoming and the team that works at the restaurant is always kind and smiling. Of the 106 guests there was everything: vegans, vegetarians, celiacs, nickel and gluten intolerant, those who did not eat pork and those with a ketogenic diet. Stefano managed to satisfy everyone's needs by personally stopping to ask each one what they preferred to eat and what else they wanted until they were full. The place also has live music so everyone had fun dancing too. The menu included a buffet, appetizers, 3 first courses, 2 second courses, fruit, dessert, cake and a bar area for liqueurs and coffee. The cake was prepared by them and not brought by us. We had received estimates from other places that cost almost double and did not include all these dishes. All 106 guests were happy and satisfied with the lunch. Not all the characters on Google would be enough to express my gratitude to Stefano, an exceptional man, old school, as unfortunately we meet fewer and fewer today. The food is not only delicious but also presented as a show. For example, the veal in a bread crust is brought on large trolleys to the center of the room and the bread crust is cut in front of everyone. Even the appetizers are brought on trolleys next to each table and the cold cuts are cut with a knife directly in front of the customer. The first courses, the second courses, the house wine ... everything is exceptional as is Stefano. I highly recommend anyone who wants, in addition to eating well and paying the right price, to get to know a place, a team of very good people and especially Stefano to go to the "Antica trattoria del cacciatore" because it is really worth it both for an intimate dinner and for a big party. Stefano is exceptional!!! I will never tire of saying it. In my future every party and every anniversary will be organized at the "Antica trattoria del cacciatore". Many thanks to Stefano and his entire team for making our wedding lunch a memorable event for me and my guests. I wish you lots of health and prosperity. A hug. Matteo Potente
