Croatia
Yacht Week
“Traveling gluten-free for a week with Yacht Week was a breeze! Before the trip, everyone completed a questionnaire where we listed any food allergies or dietary restrictions. We opted to have a host on board who prepared our meals. She understood cross contamination and ensured that I had safe options throughout the week. We also had the opportunity to grocery shop with the host the day of arrival to pick up extra gluten free essentials. Breakfasts and lunches were on board as well as two dinners. The other nights we ate dinner in town. The meals were delicious. I traveled with my Equal Eats translation card. Our host also called the restaurants prior to alert them of my celiac disease. I was able to travel with a peace of mind and fully could enjoy the stunning Croatian coastline without a worry!”

Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Split
Location: Split, Croatia
“Our stay at the Radisson Blu Resort in Split was a wonderful experience, with its location being one of the biggest highlights. Having direct beach access made it so easy to relax by the Adriatic, enjoy the views, and spend time by the water without having to travel far. The resort’s rooftop restaurant was another standout, offering incredible views and the perfect setting for a meal or sunset drink. The combination of the beautiful seaside location, relaxing atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities made it a great choice for our time in Split. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable stay with easy access to the beach and stunning coastal views.”

Location: Split, Croatia
“Salt Gluten-Free House is 100% gluten-free located in Split. They have two locations close by to each other. One location is a sit-down restaurant, and one location is more take out street-food-style. My favorite part of the meal was the bread. It blew my mind—totally fluffy, soft, and delicious!”

“Mamma Eat is another fantastic stop for anyone traveling gluten-free in Rome. They are AIC certified, meaning their separate gluten-free menu is prepared safely for celiacs.

The staff wasn’t the warmest during our visit, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. If you’re looking for authentic gluten-free Italian comfort food, Mamma Eat is definitely worth adding to your Rome itinerary.”

New Food Gluten-Free
Location: Roma, Italy
“As someone with celiac disease, New Food Gluten-Free in Rome was an absolute highlight of my trip. Visiting a 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery meant I could enjoy authentic Italian baked goods without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything we tried was delicious, but the focaccia was the star—crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and honestly one of the best gluten-free versions I’ve ever had. It was so popular that it was often sold out by the afternoon, so my biggest tip is to go early if you want the best selection! Whether you’re looking for breakfast pastries, pizza, bread, or sweet treats, this bakery is a must-visit for anyone traveling gluten-free in Rome.”
Voglia di Pizza
Location: Vigodarzere, Italy
“Voglia di Pizza was one of my favorite gluten-free meals in Rome! As someone with celiac disease, it was so reassuring to dine at an AIC-certified restaurant and enjoy authentic Italian food with confidence. I ordered the gluten-free calzone, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly baked with a light, flavorful crust and a generous, tasty filling. It’s not often that you find a truly great gluten-free calzone, so this was a real highlight of my trip. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. If you’re traveling gluten-free in Rome, Voglia di Pizza is definitely worth a visit! I loved the arancini, but the bruschetta was just okay.”

For dessert, you must try their paczki.”
Piekarnia bez glutenu Tasty&Free Gluten-Free Bakery
Location: Lublin, Poland
“Tasty and Free is a 100% gluten-free bakery in Lublin, Poland. The bakery is located near the university. You can take a nice walk and then drive to old town. The bakery is very close to the Old Town. I recommend buying some bread from the bakery and then taking it with you to the city! The baked goods are made fresh each day. Be sure to visit the bakery when they open at 12:00. The shop closes when they sell out! It is a small but great option if you are looking for fresh baked goods while in Poland!”

“Bibenda was a nice restaurant with gluten-free options while in Warsaw. The menu changes frequently for the season but our waiter was helpful and marked the safe items on the menu. The restaurant is tapas-style, modern Polish dishes. Everything we had was really tasty and flavorful! It was very veggie-forward as well. I brought my own bread to enjoy sometimes, and they had great sauces for dipping!
