Ristorante Pizzeria La Bella Pollastrella

The waiters were amazing and really made it an enjoyable experience. I had a gluten pizza which was yummy (one of the best that wasn’t a wood fire pizza in my opinion). My husband had a normal pizza which he said was good but not the best he’s had since being in Italy (you can’t please them all haha). It’s an extra 4 Euros for gluten free, most places it’s been an extra 2 Euros. No dairy free cheese but I just took dairy pills.

Don’t go here. We were the only customers on a quiet day in Venice, and still they managed to get our order wrong. Food is okay, GF pasta a little overcooked. Worst part? The waiter (who could have been my dad) asked if I had a boyfriend when I tried locating the bathroom, which was very uncomfortable. Beautiful seating outside by the canal, but the experience was 3/10, at best.

Staff was super friendly, fast and attentive. Got a glutenfree pizza, no dairy alternative so just a pizza without cheese. Tastes super good though. Got some corn waffels with my salad instead of bread. They add three euros for the gluten free pizza dough.

I had read the reviews about GF pizza on here, so my friend and I headed there for lunch. However, our server advised that the pizza is not GF. Not sure what the disconnect is! But he was able to provide me instead with a pasta dish that was delicious (I can’t remember what type of pasta it was meant to be, but he had to make it be spaghetti since that was the gf option), with salmon. Even though I had intended to get pizza, the meal was delicious enough that I was happy with the pasta!

this was a really pleasant place! the food was delicious (though it did make a disclaimer in the menu that if out of season, the meals would be cooked from frozen storage or something, though hypothetically it wouldn’t compromise the integrity and taste of the meal). i had one of the best gluten free pizzas of my life with two lactaid pills and the server didn’t seem phased by my celiacs and my request for the kitchen to wipe down equipment to prevent cross-contamination. there only reason why it’s not five stars is because the menu didn’t have the EU-mandated allergen information, which is always really helpful. But overall, I had a wonderful meal with one of my best friends in Venice! Splendid!

What a lovely relaxing place to eat. On the canal off the tourist trail opposite the guglie waterbus stop. The wonderful staff made it such a memorable experience eating at their restaurant. And yes it is very celiac friendly,!! We ate here twice while in Venice and had no problems at all. This restaurant deserves to have a lot more great reviews so if you visit Venice try and you won't be disappointed.
