The restaurant staff is very friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is delicious. We will definitely be back again. Especially since they are safe for celiacs. We recommend them!
Rick's place is an absolute gem!
We recently visited and had the most amazing night!
The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements.
We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion.
Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all.
Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough!
Looking forward to our next visit!
Total ripoff trying to charge $6 for a different type of flour. This is unjustifiable. You don't prey on people with a 25% fee because they're born allergic to gluten. It tastes worse, never has a good texture and you want people to pay more for the suffering? No thanks.
We had an amazing experience here! The service from both the owner and staff was warm and attentive, and they took special care with my gluten-free dietary needs, which I truly appreciated.
The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavour and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The ambience was romantic and beautifully styled, and the restaurant itself was spotless.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Italian food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere!
Finding somewhere to eat as a coeliac, is always a very difficult task. WOW, not only did we feel truly welcomed by the fabulous manager, he also pulled up a seat and sat with us to ensure we would have a great dining experience. The coeliac meal was prepared with the utmost care and the food was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
Best gluten free pizza and sauce was sooo good. Adding it to my favourites, I can see myself going again and again. Location is great close to the beach. Love it !!
The best gluten free vegan pizza you can find anywhere. Plus also the normal pizza is pretty great. And they have my fav organic brand of chinotto and soft drink. Bravi
Nice place to go for dinner. We were a big group!
One friend ordered gluten free pizza and so happy with it. It didn’t taste like gluten free normally does. Everyone was happy with their food choice!
I had the prosciutto and mozzarella and it was perfect combination.
Will definitely visit again!
Booked a table for 3 on 22/09/24 based off the recommendation from Atly. This trip to Melbourne had been amazing so far, but unfortunately despite letting the wait staff know I was GF, I had a reaction here. Was quite sad given the feedback from other users, and the food tasted really nice. Not sure what it was, but it was (barramundi, gf bread and olives, gf marg pizza), but something got me good
I was walking past and the staff assured me they could do gluten and dairy-free. Then pointed out the suitable options on the menu. I had the Paella, they confirmed it would be safe for me and it was delicious.
A lovely little Italian restaurant: Pizza and Gnocchi Bar. We shared a few plates of Gnocchi and a pizza in biancho (not tomato based). Between 3 of us. Absolutely scrumptuous food within an absolutely delightful atmosphere. Plenty of different sauces to accompany gnocchi. Simple, yet genuine, tasty yet not over the top. Little pillow puffs that were soft and light...only 10% flower and gluten free apparently. Coming from an Italian background, we do make home made gnoccli from scratch. Despite Gemma's rendition being different they were very appetising and lovely to eat. Probably one of my favourite dishes to eat at home and I never order them when dining out as it's rare to find them so good.
The porcini pizza was in bianco as I've mentioned. Subtle flavours with the essence of truffle oil which is my favourite. Absolutely very yummy. The base was was light thin yet fluffy around the crust. It can be made with a gluten free option if you prefer.
The chef also provided us with arancini as an entre. I absolutely loved them...hope they get back onto the menu in the future. The green chilli oil was also an excellent accompanyment to our meal especially with the garlic focaccia.
As far as service goes, it was exceptional during our dinner. Thankyou and I look forward to the next dine in experience.
Food was great and had such a great environment. We had 1 person in our group who was vegetarian and another who was gluten intolerant and they were able to fit those dietary requirements. Portions of the pizza were proper big sizes that I had to take to go as leftovers. I would suggest making a reservation here as we tried to walk in and they almost would not seat us as a party of 5.
Cute spot, can be quite busy, but good service.
We mainly get takeaway, have the best gluten free base options in the hills, actually taste good & not like potato or cardboard!
The pork sausage & the spicy eggplant are our faves. The salads are good too, although a little pricy for the size.
Unbelievably good gluten free pizza (and gnocchi). They make their own dough, and the texture is actually just like real pizza with the right chewiness and crisp. Expensive but worth it. They don’t skimp on toppings or cheese either. Very fast service.
Had a birthday dinner with family and friends. They food was fantastic and catered well for gluten free and vegetarian diets. The service was amazing, attentive without being overly invasive.
We had 3 Delicious pizzas including a gluten free mushroom pizza. Service was prompt and friendly. This venue is our local Italian go to restaurant- booking seats is essential.
Best Italian restaurant in Fitzroy . Homemade Pastas are to die for. We tried the wildboar and garlic prawns and we loved it! Plenty of options for Vegan, vegetarians and gluten free. Fair prices and beautiful atmosphere, like being at home. We’ll be back soon, thanks to Andrea and the whole staff 🍕❤️
I came upon this place by chance and ordered a gluten free pizza. It was so delicious! I really enjoyed the flavour of the toppings and the texture of the crust: authentic and flavoursome. The service was really prompt, which was quite an achievement in itself as the owner was working on his own and had so many orders to fill. I highly recommend trying the food there.
We were accosted at the door at 5.30pm that we had to be out at 7pm.
No hello, no welcome, not even wait for us to get to the table. Just make sure to get the heck out??
Well don't worry we won't bother returning. This in itself wouldnt be a deal breaker but the food was subpar bordering gross. The gluten free menu isnt gluten free, it's just low gluten.
When ordering a Pinot grigio, it tasted like a watered down chardonnay. Good luck if you dare go here.
Amazing gluten free food, almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free. I loved the gnocchi.
Also has a plant based menu that looks delicious. Great service, delicious food.
Absolutely can not say anything negative about this place. The food is amazing and the service is great. Also easily the best gluten free pasta in Melbourne. They have a covered patio in the back and the heaters were pumping it was fantastic. I can't wait to go back.
The gluten free Buffalo pizza and calamari fritti were to die for!!! We loved the food we had and the waitress looking after us was attentive and professional. The venue is beautiful ❤️ with a great ocean view!!! We'll definitely come back to visit you!! ❤️
Plenty of tasty celiac safe, gluten free options available.
Absolutely blown away by the service we received from Georgia, she was an absolute gem from start, attention to detail, and natural hospitality made us feel completely at home. She kept our drinks topped up all night without us even needing to ask, which made the entire evening feel so smooth and relaxed. Amazing recommendations for the seafood and steak, knows the menu so well and helped with dietaries.
So impressed with the food and service here, we had a capricciosa pizza, arancini, salad and a gluten free focaccia and couldn’t fault any of it. Accompanied with a couple of their tap beers and a crisp, dry Prosecco - we were really impressed with all of it! Pasta looked great as well, will have to try it next time. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Farro last November. The food was generous, service was amazing, and the Farro team was so accommodating with dietary requirements (coeliac and vegan guests) and ensuring we were able to utilise the semi-private dining space on short notice. We also loved just the little touches of being able to choose some venue styling details and the personalised menu for the night as well. Thank you for a great night. With love, D + A
The pizzas were phenomenal! We had a coeliac guest and the gluten free pizza base was the best we have ever come across. The pasta was soooo good as well. The staff were lovely and friendly and the dining room was cosy and warm with great decor and music in the background. Can't wait to go back!

Had a glorious long weekend lunch here, staff all very well informed on coeliac/cross contamination and most options can be made coeliac friendly. The Totti’s bread is famous and the GF is fabulous.
We arrived as first time visitors to Australia and 20mins before closing!! We asked if it was too late to order as we had just got off airplane and were starving they said no problem. We both had two drinks and I had an unbelievable pizza, my wife had gluten free pasta as she is gluten intolerant and had lots options, she said it was amazing. The background music was brilliant 70’s and 80’s rock and pop. We were not rushed at all, staff were very friendly and chatty. We will return to enjoy another evening there before leaving. They
My pizza (Vesuvius) looked great but was extremely salty, most likely due to anjovis that had not been soaked. This pizza was also supposed to contain gorgonzola but I did not detect any, possibly because the anjovis taste might have overwhelmed the gorgonzola taste but I also did not notice any gorgonzola visually.
My wife's gluten free pizza was much smaller, and there was not as much toppings as you would have expected for the price (especially considering that there was a $4 surcharge on the gluten-free base). All pizza prices seemed to be about $5 higher compared to other pizzerias of similar quality that we have recently visited.
Service was very friendly but it took longer than expected to place our order - and get a drink while we were waiting for our meals. In fact my beer arrived after I had received my pizza.
