They didn’t earn the title of the best gluten free pizza in the world by accident — they truly do have some of the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Plus they can also make all their dishes lactose free. I ordered a gf and lactose free pizza and it was fantastic. They even had gluten free bread for an appetizer. Will be going back any chance we get!
A 100% dedicated GF restaurant as well as a grab and go window available next to the restaurant! I got a turkey, brie, arugula and tomato sandwich on focaccia at the take away window and it was so delicious!! And huge!!!
First, let me say the food was amazing. Lots of normal and particularly gluten-free options for my wife. The restaurant was a very good size with an outdoor space despite the small curbside footprint. One thing that really turned me off about the attitude of the waiter; when asked if my wife and I could side side by side, the waiter said it wouldn’t be possible as we would need a 4 person table. Normally I’d agree, but showed up right at opening and the restaurant was empty and remainder virtually empty the entire time we were there. Not impressed.
This place has the most wholesome waiters (shoutout to Elyes!) and the cutest atmosphere. They make certain all allergies and special diet requirements are met, which can make eating out so much more relaxing as someone with allergies and intolerances. They checked and the gluten-free pasta is vegan so I had multiple options to choose from.:)
Modern and refined environment, unique in its kind, familiar and attentive service.
Refined and varied menu with availability of gluten-free dishes also very appreciated.
Delicious pizzas, I personally recommend the "pizzutella"
The only negative note, being in a central area, often crowded and chaotic with too many children who are left running around the place because of their parents, creating disturbances (for this reason 3 stars)
For the rest, highly recommended.
A fixed destination for a dinner with friends.

We ate there four times in one week. Delicious gluten-free pizzas. Excellent service, attentive and kind. Some staff members have disabilities, but their energy is impressive.
I highly recommend it.
As a celiac I can say that it is the best pizzeria in Florence! My favorite, but not only the pizza, everything is super good for us celiacs! Kind and helpful staff, I have never had a negative comment!
Waiter Daniele Panini super kind and helpful, really an excellent welcome.
Unfortunately the rating on the food was significantly lower, gluten-free pizza not cooked and rubbery, not spread well. Left almost all on the plate. Asked for cooking again but it came back still raw.
The normal pizza was not bad.
Congratulations again to Daniele though!
Everything was tasty. I really appriciate the gluten free options! Service was fine and friendly, also the surrounding of the cathedral has its own charm. Thanks!
I have been going to this restaurant for many years and it has always been exceptional in everything: pizza, fish, desserts, service and also a fair bill for the high quality of the food.
I have been gluten intolerant for 3 years and here is truly the best gluten-free pizza in Florence 😍 the gluten-free dough seems almost the same as that of a pizza with gluten. It is soft, but crunchy and digestible.
Also noteworthy is the quality of all the foods and the raw fish!
The staff and owner are very kind, attentive to the needs of each individual customer and always with a smile!
Also recommended for birthdays!!!

Finally a nice little place where you can eat gluten-free and without too many regrets! Everything is very good and you absolutely have to try the fluffly pancakes! Soon I will also try the brunch!
What a wonderful find. Simply amazing food, and impeccable, friendly and welcoming service. Very caring for my dietary restrictions (coeliac) and the food was simply delicious and deeply satisfying. A real joy.
A very pleasant place in the center of Florence where you can try a great variety of vegetarian dishes. Especially highly recommended are the desserts, many of which are gluten-free and lactose-free.
We spent these 2 days in Florence, everything was delicious, very attentive to gluten-free food and everyone was very kind, especially Antonio number 1, thanks for the hospitality
Excellent gluten-free food with a wide choice of dishes. All gluten free, but for those who don't have gluten free needs, they won't notice the difference. All very good. The owner greeted us on the first evening and invited us to return if we had a good time: we stayed three evenings in a row. According to him, we were the most regular customers. Friendly and helpful staff, welcoming place. Thank you!
A great Italian restaurant with indoor as well as a beautiful outdoor patio for seating!! The staff were very friendly and helpful! I told them I had celiac and they told me that they could make GF pasta for me and showed me which sauces I could choose from. I ended up getting Paccheri Cacio e Pepe which is a cheese and black pepper sauce.
Gluten-free pasta is delicious, one of the best I've tried in Italy. The waitress' service was also excellent (she speaks Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and English).
I have been coming to this restaurant for decades, always excellent, quick service, large spaces (great for children), friendliness and friendliness of the staff. Allow for a bit of "caciara".
Praise for the attention and variety of dishes for celiacs: from first courses to second courses, without forgetting the gluten-free pasta and focaccia, made on the spot, delicious and crunchy.
The place is also well suited for quick meals alone or in large groups.
I give 4 stars and not 5 for the price, recently it has gone up in price, like everywhere else, but this is supposed to be an unpretentious restaurant, without white tablecloths, rather spartan, so the prices could be a little scary.

I've been coming with my friends for about a year and we always leave with full bellies and satisfied.
I am gluten intolerant and gluten-free focaccia is served instead of bread (which is not to be taken for granted when receiving a good product and not packaged bread), but the first courses can be made gluten-free.
Really delicious and lean meat, cured meats and cheeses.
I really recommend it to anyone who wants to have a quality dinner or lunch!!!
Excellent service and Fabio (the waiter) is very competent, polite and attentive to the customer
The place is very pretty and picturesque, steeped in history and retaining its essence. The service is perfect; we were served quickly and in Spanish. There are gluten-free options, but the pasta is only spaghetti, with any sauce you like. The food isn't spectacular, but it's good. And it's very cheap! Bread is included in the dinner supplement, which is €3 per person. We ate during the week without a reservation, but booking is recommended.

Welcoming place, high quality ingredients in original and refined dishes with a refined taste. All gluten-free or adaptable dishes. Excellent experience.
A perfect place for a family meal. Very professional service and incredibly good food. I definitely recommend it. Top-notch gluten-free pasta and perfect bisque.
Wonderful experience! Would have loved some gluten free bread as an option for the cover, but the meal options being celiac safe were appreciated. I really enjoyed the stew. The wine was SO good and we loved the cozy dining room. Could have stayed all night.
We got 2 gluten free sandwiches that were amazing! They did not take long to come out and the service was very good! Rola and Titi were amazing! Definitely coming back for more before I leave!!

We stopped by here during a trip to Florence from London. A friend had insisted that we make the journey out of the city to try this pizza. I was dubious as I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. Expectations were very high, but every single one of them was exceeded. The gluten free pizza was specially developed by the head chef, which the menu explained. The texture was incredible, the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The simple ingredients topping it were of very high quality and perfectly complemented the dough. My husband had a regular pizza with gluten which he also spoke very highly of. Even the desserts were sensational - my gluten free tiramisu made for a beautiful end to the meal.
I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; if you are gluten free and you come to Florence, you must make the journey to visit Giovanni Santarpia.
Oriental Freshness. Wonderful dinner, with exquisite dishes from appetizer to coffee, kind and prepared staff. Large menu with many vegetarian and gluten-free choices. The level of cuisine is very high. Exceptional quality price. A must go. Thanks we will definitely be back!
Read online that they had gluten free croissants, but it's not worth the detour if you ask me. The croissants were very dry and not tasteful. My parents - who do eat gluten - had a great breakfast though. Nice staff and plenty of choice (if you eat gluten).
Great food. Their Fettuccine Alfredo was great, and they can make it gluten-free with a spaghetti noodle. Their Tiramisu and Panna Cotta are also delicious.
The restaurant has amazing food and the ambience is great. Mirko was extremely kind and helpful in selecting the menu and the restaurant has good gluten free options! Must try in Florence!!!

Fabulous food, service and ambiance. Really very warm welcome, kind and prepared, especially in the various advice and availability. The girl who managed us was really nice and it was a real pleasure to get advice from her. The only advice I feel like giving, obviously aimed at improvement, is to slightly increase the quality of the gluten-free proposals, in terms of attention to individual dishes and menu choices.
Fast, welcoming service and very good pasta (gluten-free available). Nothing to complain about, a good place to enjoy pasta in a fairly quiet street in the city center!
I start with the premise that this review at the request of my "celiac" girlfriend was not among her wishes to release, knowing in herself that she was dedicating very few nice words towards this restaurant. That said, I personally expose what unfortunately happened on: 04/03/2025
My girlfriend and I, a “CELIAC” through the The fork platform, decided to book at this restaurant, also convinced by the fact that it offered the gluten-free option, well, we get there, we sit down, we order and it is here that something happens that you would never expect from someone who offers the “GLUTEN-FREE” service, we are served a dish containing gluten to a celiac person, also on my request to receive gluten-free bread for my girlfriend, a few seconds later the chef is seen coming out of the kitchen, who promptly tries to lift the plate to take it with him to the kitchen, unfortunately my girlfriend, despite the chef trying to take the plate back, the contents of it were ingested anyway and if it had not been for my request regarding gluten-free bread, my girlfriend would have ingested a whole dish containing gluten.
Despite the fact that the facility did not charge us the bill "the minimum" and after their apologies and calls, I came here, after two months to say this ...
My girlfriend has been experiencing abdominal problems for over a month and not only that, she is limiting her life, both at work, at university and private, undergoing various visits
While waiting for the results regarding the blood test, if she discovers, in fact, altered values regarding the celiac disease protein, we will hold this facility responsible, with consequent complaint to the police, as well as complaint to the AIC "Italian celiac association"
My girlfriend, "very good" despite this decided not to leave any review, to date with various problems that she is going through I am here to write this.
Of course, the facility cancelled the reservation through The fork and of course by offering lunch I was not given the receipt, so they could say that I have no proof, in reality I took relative photos, with relative dishes, as well as the name of the facility and also importantly the phone calls that were made to us after lunch.
That said, I advise anyone with celiac disease not to go here
Small update, my girlfriend went to the emergency room a few days ago, now we are waiting for the results of the blood tests, with proven detection of the celiac disease protein, a complaint will be filed with the police with a complaint also with the AIC
We have not even received a response regarding this from the owners, which is why I say that if this problem is confirmed on celiac disease, we will file a criminal complaint with a lawyer, for attempted murder
Celiac friendly
