Peanut and Tree Nut-Free Italy and Switzerland Top Picks

Hi! I'm Jamie and my family recently traveled to Italy and Switzerland for a family vacation. We visited Rome, Florence, Como and Lugano and found many safe places to eat while managing my daughter's peanut and tree nut allergies. One of our favorite places to eat was Amorino in Florence because it was my daughter Chloe's first real Italian gelato experience and we based it on the reivews from the Spokin app! If you travel there a must-do activity in Rome is the sunset golf cart tour on the Viator app and in Como, the guided sailboat private tour.

Sarah’s Favorite Celiac-Friendly Pizza Spots Around the World

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m excited to share my favorite gluten free pizza spots where I’ve safely eaten while managing celiac. For my top picks, if you’re in the mood for deep dish in Chicago, I’d recommend Chicago’s Pizza to get any deep dish flavor. If you’re looking for fun flavors, another favorite is Flatbread Company to get Jimmy’s Free-Range Chicken. And if you want a dedicated gluten free restaurant, you may have to travel to Spain and visit Messie Sin Gluten or Budapest and visit Nongluten.
