Top 48 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Old Town, Bologna

Michael East

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.

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.

Clarissa Bechini

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

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 :)

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

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 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.

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

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!

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

Artturi Laitakari

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

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.

Chiara De Marco

Excellent food and service! They also have gluten-free! (Tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, and more) Unfortunately the area where it is located leaves a little to be desired!

Mariana Silva

Good place for breakfast and snacks, specially if you like middle eastern food. It was very busy when I went (Sunday 12:30pm) so I didn’t get a very good costumer service. The staff couldn’t explain what was really Gluten Free or not, and when you don’t eat gluten, that information is crucial.

alice cesari

As a celiac university student with various eating problems, Tasty Poke has been my salvation for years for many on-the-go lunches, top!

Chiara V.

Very good Roman cuisine restaurant! I recommend the first courses, which respect tradition. Comfortable environment and excellent service. I would like to point out the gluten free option!

Ana Verena Lima

Nice gluten free pasta option!

diego colosio

Restaurant with lots of seating close to the centre. Good first courses, not very fast service. Excellent for those who have not booked in advance and are looking for a place in the centre. Adequate prices given the proximity to the center . Note on gluten-free dishes!

Libero

Excellent healthy and gluten-free products. A little expensive...

Daniela Donati

Fantastic restaurant, delicious and very genuine food, suggestive location under the arcades of Bologna and great kindness in the service. They are also very available for special and gluten-free diets. Super recommended.

Arianna Favalli

GLUTEN FREE burgers I have already eaten their sandwiches several times and they are very good, all choices have the possibility of being made with gluten-free bread for a surcharge, but in any case the food is very good. Obviously it's not an AIC place because they heat the bread on the same griddle, but the shop assistants are super prepared and say so as soon as you ask for the variation. Finally a cash free restaurant in the big European cities, it's about time civilization arrived here too! The only flaw: the gluten-free sandwiches always arrive cold, whether they are ordered or taken on the spot.

Sara Pes

Super cute and cozy place! Delicious food, subscription portions and there is enough choice. Seating both inside and out. I particularly appreciated the menus on display with information for those following vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets; the ingredients of the sauces etc. are also marked. Behind the balcony two young and kind guys, well done!

Mila Cocchi

The best ever! Franco Rossi Catering is a real guarantee! He served each of the 250 guests at our wedding excellently. He handled every need and alternative menu impeccably, professionally and thoughtfully (we had about 5 alternative menus to the main one: vegetarian, celiac, children's menu, blank menu and a menu for particular allergies). The contact person for the entire organization was Giuseppe, friendly and helpful, he followed us from the initial contact to the choice of the mise en place, the menu and the wines. Also present for the entire duration of the reception, he was always a point of reference and managed every moment of the evening perfectly. The dining room staff was impeccable, careful to ensure that nothing was ever missing for anyone, from drinking at the table to serving the elderly by hand during the aperitif. They were quick with their service and allowed us to get back on schedule despite our initial delay. Excellent kitchen staff! For both the aperitif and the dinner we received compliments from all the guests. We were really very happy and we will not fail to recommend Franco Rossi both as a caterer and as a restaurant. Thank you very much again for making our day special and unique and for making our guests feel good! See you soon, Michael and Mila

Furo

Always available, very good dishes. They don't have gluten free soy sauce.

sabrina mattioli

Gluten-free menu of various types, kindness and courtesy of the staff.. Recommended!!

Mariano Mejía Valenzuela

Delicious Vietnamese food in the heart of Bologna; great options for gluten intolerant people too. Make sure to book in advance, as this place is always packed. Portions are good and flavours really take you to South east asia. The spiciness level of their dishes was perfect, which was a big surprise in Italy. Totally recommend, and looking forward to eating here again!

Arline Marton

Gluten-free breakfast and lovely service

Yogita M

Cute little pizza place! Gluten free bases too. Toppings are interesting and flavourful and helpful service. Only thing, on the gluten free base with a tomato sauce, the base became soggy quite quickly, although this did not happen with the pizza bianco.

Alice Cocchi

Bad experience, very rude, rude staff and not available to the customers' requests. Not special food and failure to respect previously made arrangements for a graduation party. The agreed menu, the maximum available time, the menu for people with celiac disease, and the place where you were supposed to eat were not respected. Too expensive for the type of food offered

Greta Garbin

I had a graduation lunch with family and some friends. Very kind staff, even regarding the possibility of bringing a cake from outside (with receipt obviously). The cuisine is spectacular, they have the option of gluten-free tagliatelle to satisfy any needs, the place is non-touristy, very authentic and intimate. Great find!

Julia Krasovskaya

It was very tasty, the restaurant staff were all nice and spoke English. Requests were addressed (gluten-free, etc.). Gladly again!

Hamsa

I found this restaurant because it was close to my accommodation. I don't know the name of the food, and the staff seemed busy so I felt bad about asking, so I roughly picked the one that had the original recipe and gluten-free marks on the picture. The steak was delicious, but I didn't feel anything special about it. Pickled vegetables? The same appetizer is more refreshing and refreshing than it looks and is not too salty, but it is delicious, so eating it with other dishes is good for digestion and helps refresh your mouth. I ate it separately from the steak because I accidentally asked for it to be served in order, but it would have been better if we had eaten it together. Would you like to go back and pickle vegetables before leaving Bologna? I will eat it again with other dishes. Since I don't know Italian, I had few opportunities to eat vegetables throughout the trip, so this was a good opportunity.

We have been coming to this bar for about two years. Both the savory and sweet brioches are superb and look very inviting. There are various types of dough (for celiacs, vegans...) and the filling is very abundant. Despite the large influx of people, the service is always excellent and Serena is always very welcoming.
