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!
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.
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!
A top discovery!!! The entire menu was gluten-free, everything we tried was delicious and the waiters were super nice and attentive, the place was full and that's for a reason!!
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.
Pizza with excellent leavening, large and well seasoned, also gluten-free. Excellent home delivery service.
Welcoming and helpful staff.
I highly recommend
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!
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 :)
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.
Got gluten-free takeaway pizza a few days ago.
Always Excellent. You used to get it many years ago when Tonino was at the bakery :)
Very honest prices.
Well done!

Our priority was to find a restaurant that cooked gluten-free and we found it! Excellent food, double menu with gluten and gluten-free. A paradise for celiacs.
The service is nothing short of fantastic, the staff are very kind and very helpful.
We had a great time, very good!
Nice place albeit on the outskirts, about half an hour from Bologna. Friendly and helpful staff, few dishes on the menu but of good quality. The entire menu can also be replicated gluten-free.
Portions normal, prices slightly higher than average but still acceptable for the quality and service
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.
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!
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.
Here I found an excellent gluten-free version of kebab, chicken kebab, falafel and pastrami prepared with rare passion and meticulousness. The environment is friendly and very pleasant!
Lovely little place with a wide choice of vegan dishes and gluten-free options.
Beautiful presentation of the dishes, fresh and well-matched ingredients.

Great restaurant. Very tasty food and friendly and courteous staff (some even speak English).
There were two of us and luckily we got a table without a reservation. When we accidentally ordered the wrong appetizer platter, we were able to return it without any problems. The price-performance ratio is more than reasonable (3 courses for 2 people were available for €50! including non-alcoholic drinks). It was a wonderful evening, we would love to come back.
*Gluten-free dishes possible
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.
Cozy place and impeccable service. The chef, super attentive to quality, came to our table and told us about the menu, the local products used and all the gluten-free alternatives in a detailed and careful way. Very attentive to gluten-free and above all to contamination, in fact most of the dishes on the menu can be adapted gluten-free.
We felt very pampered and will definitely return.
Great GF and lactose free options. Amazing homemade GF pasta with the owner behind the counter welcoming you into her restaurant like you are a friend visiting her home. Amazing assortment of homemade GF food and dessert
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
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.
A dinner on November 2nd in the heart of Bologna, the key word is Hospitality from the owner to the waiters who take care of the guests. Excellent food and fast service, attention also paid to dogs.
Gluten-free pasta and dishes!
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!
