La Grotta is an exceptional restaurant. My boyfriend is coeliac and they were more than accommodating. We had a fabulous charcuterie board to start which was out of this world. My pesto cream pasta for main was genuinely one of the nicest pasta dishes I’ve ever had. Aperols were flowing, service was top tier. Thank you
I took two fried fish 🐟 gluten-free to take away, really well made and well packaged, they also gave me an excellent naturally gluten-free focaccia, very kind staff.
Of all the places with gluten-free cuisine, it remains my favorite where I can eat with the total absence of contamination. The managers are very prepared, welcoming and the cuisine is tasty even for those who are not celiac. Well done, keep working well like this 🙏❤️
We had dinner in this nice restaurant with friends, we were all very satisfied, really excellent cheese focaccia, even the gluten-free foods are really delicious, both the fresh pasta and the cheese focaccia. We will certainly return.
Good gluten free bite. Portions were small but yummy. They only have a few options for gluten free pasta, but have gluten free focaccia sandwiches too!
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!!!!!!
As a glutenfree person I had an amazing experience. Not only was the staff super friendly and funny, also the food was so great! To top things up the bartender really knows his buisness. 100% would recommend a visit!
I was here for a snack, delicious and cheap tigelle, the lady who served me was super cheerful, I don't remember her name but I know she is of Colombian origin, in addition to the good food we also had a nice chat where she told me a little his story, I was almost moved, I will definitely return and I recommend everyone to try their tigelle, one last thing they also make tigelle for celiacs
Really nice restaurant aesthetically, facing the sea, and above all equipped for gluten-free!! something very unobtainable in the first areas of Liguria coming from Milan!
Friendly staff and very helpful and kind!
Quick and really good food!
We took the pizza (normal), very soft dough and really tasty (I who usually discard the crust ate that too ;))
my celiac boyfriend ate really well too, very soft focaccia (as you know it's difficult with gluten-free to be very soft) it almost didn't seem sg
the desserts are all gluten-free and the entire menu can be transformed into sg
Highly recommended and definitely coming back!
A huge thank you, and super compliments to the chef..
for the care and attention to the preparation for us celiacs, with contamination... May GOD bless you. Thank you so much for your heartfelt work, and your awareness of our intolerance.

Free Gluten
For celiacs, once informed by the restaurant staff, you will be guided, we recommend the homemade pasta made by the chef, everything was delicious, continue like this and develop your offer with Freeglutine by indicating it on the menu, the dishes with the small Freeglutine symbols , as found throughout Europe! Friendly and family atmosphere but a little noisy; long waiting times to eat when the restaurant is full, if you get a starter, count 2 hours for a meal.
Very tasty food. We ordered gluten-free pasta and were immediately delivered gluten-free bread (the waiter thinks along with it 😀). For the lamb dish, sauce was added at the place. Extra small bowl for the olive oil with the bread. Very stylish, but also correspondingly expensive. But it was worth it!
What more could you want, a typical Genoese trattoria, on the sea, plentiful dishes, cheap price, and delicious food. They also do gluten-free. Friendly and kind staff.. everything was excellent.. from the starter to the dessert. A fantastic day.. we left there full and happy with the excellent food.. we will definitely be back..
Excellent restaurant and pizzeria offering many different options suitable for all needs. The pizzas, with excellent quality ingredients, are made in three different formats (the peel one is highly recommended!), and several gluten-free ones are also available. The restaurant menu is very varied, and offers the possibility of dining with meat or first courses. The staff is very courteous and attentive to customer requests; the venue has several rooms and is therefore also suitable for large groups. If you are looking for a place to dine in the heart of the historic center that can satisfy everyone, you will not be disappointed here!
I ordered a gluten-free pizza the other night via deliveroo. The pizza was very good, the ingredients (eggplant and cacioricotta if I'm not mistaken) very good, of excellent quality. It was really worth it, it didn't feel like glutenfeee. I would also like to point out the very kind and nice staff: I ordered through deliveroo
1) in addition to the gluten-free pizza, I had requested french fries. They had the foresight to call me to warn me that there could be contamination since it was French fries and they wanted to make sure that it was okay for me. Much appreciated this, they could have not called me
2) I had politely asked them to let me know when they were about to deliver (so I could leave the hotel for collection) and they called me shortly before
Very positive experience, I will definitely order again in the next few days🤪
Ps I didn't have time to take a photo because the pizza was delicious.
Pps pizza delivered super hot!
I had a very good time!
Dear, to the point, I didn't wait long, I must say that the gluten-free pizza is exaggerated!!!!! Then I read that they make the dough themselves with selected gluten-free flours! Many choices and particular flavours, I would have tasted them all...Really delicious, I think I've never eaten such good ones, all the pizzerias have the dough ready, just to be filled... I also drank the craft beer from their area, that was good too. They have many gluten-free desserts!!! There too I was spoiled for choice! I would have taken them all because they were very original and never eaten!!!! Then I opted for the "jar" i.e. caramelized pears, biscuit and walnut crumble, mascarpone cream and cinnamon! Without words!!!
Congratulations indeed!!!! I recommend it, I didn't find any defects!!!! I also liked eating in the square and also the beautiful place!!!
I will definitely return with my partner who lives in the area…
Outdoor lunch in the square. Wide variety of pasta literally available "in all sauces". I had really good spaghetti with seafood, Nicoise salad and baby tomato pasta (a little high in salt but delicious). TOP homemade desserts made by the owner's mother (in particular the gluten-free chocolate cake) which deserves, if not the naming of the square, at least that of a street in Finalborgo. Service a little slow but friendly, dark interior, if you can have lunch in the square. Still recommended.
..I had never been there... Excellent pizza and excellent beer. Precise service and friendly staff. Gluten-free pizzas and with special flours. Passed with full marks.
The "Dalla Padella alla Brace" is a well-kept restaurant without attitude, which is why guests can eat there without being afraid of the threshold. We visited on April 23, 2025; a telephone reservation is recommended.
The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Italian and English are spoken.
The service is experienced and attentive. The guest is then asked whether they want the mineral water chilled or at room temperature.
The food, with some Ligurian specialties and products from local and regional "Slow Food Presidios", is absolutely fresh and of the best quality. Gluten-free dishes are indicated on the menu.
The wine list includes numerous Ligurian and other Italian wines. The advice is unobtrusive and professional, the prices are hospitable.
Overall a successful evening.
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.
Welcoming restaurant, staff trained and available for every request, food for me as a celiac very good, I was able to eat peppered mussels, sublime fried fish without running the risk of contamination, I would have liked to be able to eat something else but the portions were quite generous 🤩. Thanks to the staff and owners who are very nice and sensitive to the problem of celiac disease.
I had a great time. Menu only for celiacs. Well done. The problem transformed into an opportunity. Compliments. Excellent food. I'll be back as soon as possible.
What a gem! We would return to Levanto for this place alone. Really wonderful experience. Tasty and fresh and so many gluten free options. Highly recommend the Moby Dick sandwich, the classical toastie and the bruschetta. And the coffee was delicious too. Many thanks!
Went for a gluten free burger and pizza for my wife.
Welcoming environment, with the possibility of outside on the veranda. If you are a football fan, you will find several televisions on the walls and even 2 mega projectors that will let you see every football action from any corner of the room.
Quality burger, well presented with the classic basket of fries.
For celiacs or those intolerant to gluten: the pizza dough was a "focaccia-like" one of the ready-made ones, but with fresh and good ingredients (The wife was still satisfied).
Great experience and good service. High prices, but the products were good. Must try!
My daughter is celiac and they have almost all the pizzas with a gluten-free base option. The excellent staff and the best owner. Q was super attentive to us since his wife is celiac and understood us perfectly. Many of the desserts are also gluten-free. They don't have gluten-free pasta. But they are really delicious

We had a great experience here after looking for a long time for gluten free food. The gluten free pasta was delicious and they even brought out gluten free bread before the main dishes. A little overpriced for the portions but was worth it to finally find some gluten free pasta.
The place is always busy. The front porch area is perfect for food and drinks with friends. Inside is rustic and charming.
Food was excellent. None of us had a bad meal any time we were here. The menu is varied and there’s something here for everyone. There are also vegan and gluten free options if needed.
A great place with a warm and welcoming staff and good service always.
100% recommendable. The pasta is very good. The service is very attentive and friendly. The place is very well decorated. My wife is gluten free and there is a good variety of pasta of very good quality and very tasty. I would come back here many more times.
Before sitting down to eat I asked the service if it was possible that they had GLUTEN FREE food, they replied that they did have 2 types of tagliolini or spaghetti pasta available, we sat down we ordered the drink, and THEY DID NOT HAVE gluten free beer, then I order tagliolini and THEY DID NOT They had it, to finish I ask for bread AND THEY DID NOT have it either. If you are allergic or intolerant to gluten you will go hungry here....
Exceptional. Great attention to gluten-free. All very good. Quality and price. Original, beautiful location. I had a good time. I'll be back. Thank you.
From the perspective of a German tourist: This is a simple, yet lively, and well-attended pizzeria in a backyard, frequented predominantly by locals. On a Saturday evening, we were given the last available table. The food is typical, with gluten-free options available. The quality is decent, and the service is prompt. In addition to wine by the glass, several bottles of decent regional wine are also available. We opted for an Ormeasco, as Dolcetto is called here.
This review explicitly reflects the authenticity of its simplicity and normality. Anyone expecting "showmanship" is in the wrong place.
It's not the first time we go to this restaurant but unfortunately the service is no longer like it used to be. After ordering a dish that is indicated as gluten-free on the menu, we are told that in reality the sauce is gluten-free (thank goodness we had warned the waitress that my partner is allergic to gluten!!!). After 30 minutes of waiting we receive the starter and the second course at the same time. After asking for two coffees we receive one and the other after 10 minutes......and finally after waiting for the bill for 15 minutes we decide to go to the cashier to pay directly and after having reported that it was not as usual the gentleman at the checkout shrugs as if he doesn't care in the slightest.
I have always recommended this restaurant but unfortunately I will not do so again.

Great family atmosphere in an Italian trattoria situated in the Old Town. They had a gluten-free pizza base so I was in heaven. I chose a vegetarian pizza and it was one of my best pizzas ever. This was the only place in Cairo Montenotte that made gluten-free pizza.

Small tourist-looking restaurant. Extremely helpful staff and owner, we needed gluten-free alternatives and they accommodated us perfectly. Fresh and above all delicious products, the excellent and abundant fish soup and the seafood tables with sea bass and scampi are simply exceptional. Highly recommended
Special restaurant facing the sea, superb attention to the customer!
A corner of goodness and kindness, Jeff the boy who served us was very attentive and friendly.
My partner has celiac disease and they prepared everything carefully to adapt it to her needs!
Much more than recommended!
11/10 recommend! The food is delicious and the staff are extremely kind and incredibly helpful. When I asked about gluten free options they were super accommodating, helped me through the menu, and went out of their way to make sure I could have the pizza I wanted. The location is just a few minutes from the train station, and so much quieter than the other side. Great views, great food, wonderful staff.
Celiac friendly
