Gluten-Free Italy Top Picks

Hi! I’m Megan and I recently studied abroad in Florence and visited Rome, Italy! I was able to find many safe spots to safely eat with celiac. I am excited to share my favorite finds and one of my absolute favorites was Mama Eat where I safely had bolognese! If you visit, a must-do activity is visiting the Academia museum because it has so many amazing pieces of artwork, including Michelangelo’s David statue.

Pizza in Trevi

Location: Rome, Italy

“This was my favorite restaurant in Rome. When you’re seated they ask if anyone in your party is gluten free, and they will switch out your placemat to one that is marked gluten free and they will give you prepackaged silverware. The entire menu can be made gluten free, and they make their gluten-free menu items in a separate facility. The pizza was amazing, the crust wasn’t too thin and it was fluffy along the edges with an amazing sauce and cheese combo.”

Zia Rosetta

“AMAZING sandwiches. It’s a 12 minute walk from the colosseum so it’s a great lunch spot for after a tour. All of their sandwiches can be made gluten free and they had some salads as well. It’s not dedicated gluten free but they take a lot of precautions to make sure food is safe.”
