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!
Enjoy homemade pasta in a charming spot with friendly vibes and generous portions, perfect for a relaxed meal any time of day.

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.
Exceptional sandwiches with top-notch ingredients and creative combinations, perfect for a tasty and quick meal in a central location.

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.
Known for gourmet pizzas with unique ingredients, it's a must-try despite its slightly higher prices and delivery delays.

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!
This cozy spot offers a delightful mix of homemade dishes, unique beverages, and a charming atmosphere, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

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!
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.
