Top 36 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience 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!

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Raffaele Di Nardo Di Maio

I was in this tavern several months ago and ate excellent gluten-free tagliatelle. Traditional cuisine and friendly service.

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.

Daniele Placanica

Excellent fish street food with really tasty gluten free sandwiches and a menu dedicated to celiacs, which is rare and much appreciated. Warm welcome and attentive staff, who immediately make you feel at ease. High quality at honest prices: passed with flying colours.

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.

Jasmin Konlechner

Gluten free pasta. Very nice service

Giulia

Very welcoming, stratospheric cutlet (personally the best bolus, even gluten-free!!!) and the potatoes really delicious too. I've already been back twice, I'll definitely be back

Laura Di Nicolantonio

Great restaurant they also have gluten free options

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.

Francesca Di Giuseppe

Very good food, they change the menu very often and offer very high quality dishes. The service is very good and they also have gluten-free variants (which is not always a given). We go there at least once a week!!

Chiara Meneghin

Room with not too many seats but the atmosphere is welcoming, well-kept place. Detailed menu also for intolerants and celiacs, good offer, the cuisine does not disappoint expectations and proves to be excellent, attentive and helpful staff. Absolutely worth trying.

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!!

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!

Jesper Heitmann

One of the highlights on our Bologna trip 🇮🇹 From the start you feel the passion in the people at Oltre. They love food and they want you to have a good time. The menu is delicious and they can even commodate glutenfree alternatives. Their regú is exceptional. Also a shout-out to their bartender and sommelier. They did Such a fine job in making it an experience to remember. And a funny little detail was they had Street Fighter in the basement 🔥

Ana Verena Lima

Nice gluten free pasta option!

Adrian

Who in their right mind serves raw beef to humans? Even if this is a traditional food for bears or wolves, people should know what a "steak" means in their menu. At least warn clients that they are about to pay for dog food. Warining others about allergies and gluten BS, but not warning anyone they are about to be served animal food is the lowest insult.

Patrizia Brunetti

Lunch with family, excellent food (lasagna - tortellini and tortellini for celiacs), fillet with balsamic vinegar and baked lamb, then dessert, coffee and bitters Excellent service

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.

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

Daniel Chao

Gabriele Roman

Excellent service and excellent dishes Super careful with gluten-free dishes too, with a dedicated menu too

Francesco Grande

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.
