They are very good with coeliac disease and the gf gnocchi is so perfectly soft. Like little pillows in my mouth. One of my top gf spots in Melbourne.

Can't fault it - most of the menu is GF and safely prepared. I had my first chicken parmigiana and my first cannoli which was amazing. The non-coeliacs that I was with also enjoyed the food

The pasta here is a scam. Expensive. Boring sauces. Small helpings. Excellent entrées and desserts. We ended up paying top of the line money for a run of the mill experience

Amazing gluten free food!
The owner's daughter has coeliac disease, so this place is well and truly catered for the gluten allergic.
We had arancini balls and salt&pepper calamari for entree, ragu fettucini and amatriciana gnocci for mains. Such a great place, good atmosphere, friendly owners and staff, and gluten free heaven. Go here. You won't be poisoned, and you'll be hungry for more!

Review
The most delicious GF pasta! This restaurant is Coeliac Society accredited and has beautiful freshly made pasta, some great GF entrees and the most delicious Nutella donuts. One of my favorite places to go out to dinner in Melbourne
Review
Delicious, authentic Italian food for coeliacs who miss pasta! Not everything on the menu is gluten free, but the stuff that is is amazing, and coeliac certified! I would recommend getting the Mushroom Maria with gnocchi☺✨
Review
Awesome gluten-free gnocchi and casarecce, along with a wide selection of yummy things such as Arancini balls and panacotta.
Most importantly, you can eat with confidence as Ciao Mamma is accredited with Coeliac Victoria. The owner Christian, is a coeliac so he understands our needs! We were definitely well looked after despite how busy the restaurant was.
Review
Staff aware of coeliac needs. Really yummy pasta and the arancini is a must!
Review
Seemed to have a good understanding of gluten free and delicious Italian food. Think pasta, arancini and polenta bites.
