Top 2 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Liguria

Gabry R

Celiac .. I find anything cooked specifically Gf ... excellent value for money

Valerie Roy

The food was good and they were very gluten-free friendly. The servers were all very well versed in regard to allergies. My gluten-free gnocchi and gluten-free tiramisu were wonderful.

Maggie Maurin

This was one of the only places we visited twice during our 2 days in Cinque Terre. I got gelato the first time and a cannoli the second time. Both were excellent but the gluten free pistachio cannoli really stood out. The shell was actually a really great texture, not the normal too hard gluten free version. As a traveller, it's very comforting to see the "100% senza glutine" sign on the door.

I live in Ceriale so I am very lucky to finally have a place where I can eat every flavor of pizza then the pizza a pala, fried food and gluten-free desserts close to home, everything very good, polite waiters and attentive to allergies, very clean location thanks PAT

Tino Puricelli

Specializing in gluten free, excellent, courteous service. I had a great time.

Rosanna Tealdi

I took gluten-free focaccia, delicious and at an affordable price. The croissant was delicious!! At the right price! The sales assistant was kind and helpful. Highly recommended

Mum Rez

My daughter had a GF pasta w bolognaise, loved it. Smaller sized serve. But glad to find something she liked.

A beautiful restaurant with a magnificent design. Definitely the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten. The dough is absolutely perfect. The quality of the ingredients is truly impressive; it's truly gourmet pizza. Garden produce, slow food, respect for the environment... Bonci from Liguria! (Neapolitan version). Service a little slow, but there were plenty of people, very professional and friendly waiters. The most beautiful women in Sanremo come here; it's paradise. Bravo, chef! 🧑‍🍳 (We're waiting for one of your restaurants to open in Nice; we have so much to learn in France about slow food and gluten-free...) 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Had lunch to celebrate my daughter's communion, 16 of us. High quality food, excellent preparation and presentation, both for the 'sea' and the 'land'. Quiet, well-set-up and "scenographic" environment. Excellent service, great attention to customer needs (celiac person above all). Exquisite owners, friendliness, availability and welcome well above the Ligurian average 😆 Adequate price and respectful of what has just been written: experience, professionalism and quality are certainly not free and you can't expect them to be. We will definitely return and recommend it to everyone.

Excellent with gluten-free cooking

Michela R.

Local in the Porto Antico of Genoa with homemade pasta, also in the gluten-free version. The restaurant has some seats both in the internal rooms and at the tables outside. However, booking is recommended. I ate some excellent Trofie with octopus with Taggiasca olives and cherry tomatoes and a very good SG mixed fried food

Hannah Johnston

100% gluten free gelato. No risk of cross contamination with GF cones!! Amazing! Plenty of lactose free and vegan options available.

Alessandro Vannozzi

Environment without character but the food is very good, ok for food intolerances, gluten free both pasta and pizza. Generous servings. I advise the pizza chef to wear a clean t-shirt!!!!!!

Christian Kutscher

A beautiful little pizzeria in the mountains of Imperia city. Extremely accommodating, and the pizzas were simply amazing. The price/performance ratio was great. Even though I hadn't pre-reserved a gluten-free option, they made one ready. I'd be happy to come back! English is spoken by the owner's (presumably) son. Otherwise, only Italian.

A.J. Blijleven

Italian restaurant with gluten-free options

Katie Barthelson

Great gluten free spot if you are willing to wait. I had the gnocchi and chocolate cake. There is no place to really sit but there is a picnic area at the top of the hill with a great view to enjoy your meal.

Maddy McGarrah

Would absolutely recommend the pesto making class at Nessun Dorma!! This was a highlight of my recent trip to Cinque Terre. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning to make delicious pesto in such a fun, welcoming, and truly stunning environment. At the end of the experience, we were served an amazing spread of snacks and bottle of wine to take in the views and enjoy the pesto that we made. I am vegetarian and gluten free, and the staff accommodated all of my restrictions with truly delicious food. Nessun Dorma is a wonderful asset to Manarola and the community - it really highlights the beauty and culture of the town.

Francesca Furfari

Let me start by saying that I know them very well. But finding a place that always welcomes you with a smile, always kind, is not always a given. And then you ask for lactose-free milk and they have it... ask for soy milk... oat milk... well what can I say they have to do with that. Gluten-free products. Well try it and you'll tell me I recommend it 😊

Maddalena Spelta

Friendly staff and excellent quality products to indulge in a gluten-free treat in complete safety... both sweet and savory! Highly recommended!

Greta Astolfi

Finally a place with good GLUTEN FREE options!

Danilo

Pizza of the highest level for all types of palates and also gluten-free dough. Restaurant with always fresh high-quality products of the Neapolitan tradition. Everything very good even the service despite it being Saturday fast and professional.

Sara Novi

Dear Valentina, after months glued to the phone screen with my mouth watering looking at the photos of your delicacies, I have decided to give myself a gift and take a train from Pontedera to come and taste something from your bakery in Sarzana. And so here I am early in the morning inside your special place; obviously there was the counter full of wonders and your lively and very pleasant presence. I admit that I didn't say much because I was excited, but I bought many things to try: a slice of savory cake, some scones, a piece of vanilla and berry cake and a lemon and blueberry muffin. Everything was exceptional! The scones almost moved me, the flavor was almost identical to the ones I bought in an old bakery in my town when I was little, I ate them with a dear friend of mine outside of school and it really felt like I was going back there. Never eaten so good in eleven years of celiac disease! Not to mention the desserts: tasty, soft, abundant. No disappointments. The prices are absolutely honest and consistent with the quality of the food, I really hope to be able to return soon.

lionel coffy

Always exceptional pizzas, including gluten-free ones... I recommend you book in advance....

Linda Rech

Nice location, friendly staff. Pretty good food, except for the gluten-free pizza with a ready-made base (I wouldn't recommend it, get something else).. I expected much better given the AIC certification for several years. Decent normal pizza

Matilda Bernardoni

I went to this Focacceria with some friends and we left really satisfied. Very beautiful and refined location. Very welcoming and pleasant environment and staff. Varied and satisfying fixed menus. Honest prices for the quality and quantity. Very attentive to gluten-free (possibility of eating a delicious focaccia made by them and amazing desserts). What can I say, a place to which we will certainly more than willingly return.

Chiara Vivaldi

I have been to Virata several times in person and just as many times I have ordered home delivery… the gluten-free pizza is always excellent, but last night you really outdid yourselves!! It was delicious, excellent ingredients, super dough, thank you!

Eleonora Di Benedetto

We arrived without a reservation during the Champions League final, which was broadcast, and they found us a table without any problems. They also have a gluten-free sandwich, which was really big and very good. When the fries, which were an extra, didn't arrive, I pointed it out and in addition to removing them from the order, they offered me a Coke to make up for it. Really nice and kind staff. Recommended!

Johannes S

Perfect vegan restaurant, most dishes also available in gluten-free versions. Very friendly service and attractive interior design. And good music selection. Pleasantly manageable menu with a good price/performance ratio. So good overall that we went there twice in a row.

Domenica Muscatiello

I found myself spending a day on holiday and while enjoying a good ice cream I discovered the S. PIETRO ice cream shop where I was struck by the courtesy, attention and kindness with which Mrs Simona served me, moreover I had problems of gluten I found a vast assortment, excellent ice cream, "true" artisanal. I recommend it to anyone passing through Diano Marina, a must.

Isabella Crosa

I was in this restaurant with my mother a few weeks ago, I point out that my mother is severely celiac and a slight contamination would have made our mini vacation a nightmare. Instead we were welcomed by a boy, I hope and think the manager, young but extremely experienced, they offered us gluten-free appetizers that no one had ever had the foresight to prepare. Extremely generous portions and fresh fish. Kindness, professionalism and knowledge of celiac disease at the highest levels. I feel like writing that I rarely leave reviews, but this restaurant deserves an honorable mention. Even the plating is different for celiacs so that they can quickly recognize the dishes dedicated to them. I find the expense very honest for the quality and service offered. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

Tina Reindl

Super fast. We got our food in 10 minutes. Delicious. Gluten-free pizzas also available.
