Welcoming spritz drink, warm gluten-free bread, crackers, we had beautiful gf crab salad, followed up with a delicious buttery spaghetti with clams. The Staff was joyful , fun, welcoming and knowledgeable. There also was gluten-free desert available!!

They have a separate kitchen for gluten free. Nicely sized gluten free menu. I had a pasta dish which was ok but not great. The gluten free bread was not good either. The cheesecake was phenomenal. Restaurant is super pricy.

Amazing in one word. Everything could be made gluten free. One of the best meals I had in Italy. Amazing service, sat outside. Catered to my every need. Would throughly recommend the baked clams to start & their fresh pasta for main. Recommend booking, as they were turning away customers. Sitting inside & outside. Was a very romantic setting

AIC certified - very safe for celiac. There’s only 1 or 2 items on the menu that they can’t do gluten free. The food was pretty good. The service was a bit odd and uncomfortable - they very aggressively asked for a tip multiple times as we were wrapping up dessert.

So I definitely felt cared for and it was good. But it was VERY over the top and performative. I will also say it wasn’t my best meal in Venice. They gave us non alcoholic welcome drinks, which was a nice touch. So- if you’re looking for a very fancy attentive experience, you’ll like this. I like to be a little more under the radar.

Amazing!!!!! Soooooooooooooooooooo GOOD! The local gf store recommended great for dairy free the best lamb and scallops. Highly recommend very accommodating and nice people they are fantastic!

We had the duck ragù which was phenomenal. Accommodate us with a change in the pasta so we can have. The local dish of liver and sauce with fried polenta. We have a dairy issue so they accommodated by changing some of the things to make it dairy free as well. The flavors are great for us. Another restaurants in flavors are very bland. These were very very vibrant and tasty. And multiple gluten-free desserts but unfortunately not dairy free. The homemade lemon cello. I must try. The dairy free bread was amazing. It’s one of the ones in Italy that we love and so far I cannot find an America. Unfortunately, no dairy free creamer or milk for coffee so couldn’t do that.

Best restaurant in all of Venice. Staff was highly knowledgeable about GF. All GF dishes served in separate color so there is no doubt the food is GF. If available, have the artichoke heart with burrata and black truffles.

Ate here based on seeing it listed in the app. Beautiful Italian restaurant, fabulous table service, great atmosphere. Waiters fully across GF and Coeliac and assisted with menu choices. I had lovely warm GF bread served, a great sardine entree, and my pasta main course with shrimps and mushrooms was one of the best pastas I have had. They gave us a complimentary limoncello to finish our meal. A wonderful experience and highly recommend to anyone visiting Venice. We used google maps to find it, and luckily we were staying close by.

An incredible gluten free experience. Staff are both incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, while the restaurant holds a massive number of options for gluten free diets. My food - spaghetti with shrimp, the catch of the day, and cheese cake - were all of the highest quality. While pricey - this is Venice after all - if you are looking for a fancy, gluten conscious place to eat out, I can’t recommend enough.

All gluten free and all Moto bene!! Plus there are some extra surprises that made are experiences special-you’ll have to try it and be pleasantly surprised yourself! Live pianist! Great wine!

Best pasta / meal in general I have had in Italy.

Staff were very knowledgeable about coeliac requirements, and brought me complimentary bread to start. All staff knew which meals on their menu could be made gf, which was nearly everything.

We ordered gf ravioli and a gf truffle pasta dish, both were amazing. Finished with gf tiramisu and gf cheesecake.

Great place, AiC certified. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. Almost the entire menu can be prepared gluten free, we tried pasta - spaghetti and ravioli, and frittura (in rice flour), everything was delicious. We were also served some g/f bread and crackers. Definitely recommend and will come back. I’d also recommend to book a table for dinner earlier.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lovely high end restaurant with many GF options. They brought me some delicious GF bread. I ordered the fried calamari, followed by the cheese ravioli. Both were delicious but the calamari was the real treat for me since I hadn’t eaten it since being diagnosed with Celiac almost 20 years ago. The black rimmed dishes let you know that your entree is GF, which is greatly appreciated!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A must go in Venice! Great food super friendly and helpful staff dedicated menu!

A very charming place with excellent attention to Celiac needs. Everything passed Nima too.

Not just a tourist trap for sure, though not cheap.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I definitely recommend this restaurant when you’re in Venice. It’s away from the crowded tourists spots and they have an AIC gluten free menu. The bread they gave me was fluffy and tasty, and the pasta and grilled steak I ordered was really good too. My husband who isn’t a celiac or gluten free enjoyed his meal off the regular menu as well. And just to add a little more peace of mind, your food will come out on a black rimmed plate so it’s clearly different from the non gluten free dishes.

Celiac friendly?

I was excited about this meal based on the reviews, but I found the gluten free menu limited. I ordered the squid ink pasta. It was my first time trying that and the sauce was pretty good, but the pasta was hard and chewy. Disappointed, especially for the price

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was the best experience we’ve had in Venice. The ravioli was amazing. Bread was brought once I asked for a gf menu. The waiter was extremely accommodating and recommended the tiramisu—which should not be skipped. Motto buono!
