They can make any pizza gluten free and they have Pasta options! If you are vegetarian they’ll also make good GF pasta arrabiatta. Would recommend
Really good gluten free pasta. I got the clam pasta and it was good but definitely lacking flavor. Still worth the trip for the gluten free pasta don’t know that I would be back. They even had gf bread for bread service (it was packaged but still exciting!)

A great restaurant a little off the beaten path and situated in a perfect outdoor/indoor location. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly! The food was very good and very Italian. We ordered filet mignon, salad and tour of Italy.
Pizza senza glutine ottima , staff allegro e accogliente, abbiamo avuto un' esperienza positiva!
GF Pizza is great. Service is not do good. You are waiting in line to enter inside and they had a lot of empty tables.
A super charming spot in the heart of Brera! We sat at a cozy table outside, kept warm by outdoor heaters—even in January. I ordered the carbonara, which was delicious, and they surprised us with gluten-free bread to start. They also offer gluten-free pizzas, so it’s a great find for anyone looking to enjoy Italian classics without gluten!
Had a lovely GF pizza. Not mentioned on the menu but staff were very helpful. Some pizzas also lactose free 🙌
Pizza sans gluten, et pain sans gluten ! Très bon restaurant
Doesn't say so on the menu, but they have gluten-free pizza... And it's quite good! Felt like they were knowledgable about celiac and in general great service.
Staff were knowledgeable about celiac and I was told they could do any pizza or pasta. I’m sensitive to cross contamination so I can’t have gf pizza if it’s cooked in the same oven so I had Risotto alla Milanese. Was good but somewhat bland. It was safe however and I did not get sick. They brought me a package of gf bread as well.
Had some amazing seafood pasta here. They had GF bread as well and it felt quite safe! I recommend the mixed seafood as seen in the picture on my girlfriend’s side.
The food was excellent and our server was outstanding. The menu is not all gluten free, however, the menu is well marked and when you mention it to the staff, they take every caution to avoid any contamination.
Any pizza can be done with a GG base - very tasty. Also have GF Peroni beer and GF pasta
Brilliant dining experience! The wait staff were so knowledge and understanding about Coeliac Disease and the need for me to eat gluten free. I had gluten free bread brought to the table straight away... delicious with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table. I had the risotto alla milanese... of course! Bellissimo! Highly recommend!
All pizza or pasta dishes are available as gluten free. We tried a pizza and it was super !!
Great frutti di mare- fresh, washed with gluten free pasta. The stuff is well known while you say you are a gluten free person.
What a great GF option in Milan!! I booked via Trip Advisor and put a note on the booking that one of the 5 diners needed gluten free. Waiting for me was a gf menu along with the regular menus. The staff were super knowledgeable about gluten free and went out if their way to show me what was on offer. It was so nice that I could have something besides a steak, or gf pasta! I had the Cotoletta alla Milanese which was amazing, I was also able to try my husband’s seafood soup!! Gf bread on offer ( in a sealed bag). I am not sure about the cross contamination if you ordered a pizza as I did not order one. I had no issues as a result of eating there.
Very knowledgeable about gluten free and other allergies. Delicious food
Very friendly and informed staff! Had the gluten free pasta with truffel; the best I've ever had!!! (Even compared to the ones with gluten ;))
ABSOLUTE YES!! I had the best gluten-free truffle pasta here! They’re really well informed about celiac disease and make sure the food is not contaminated. Separate gluten free menu, but they told me everything on the menu can be made gluten free. I will definitely come her again, enjoy it!
Had an amazing pasta and cotoletta. Kids loved it. Also had gluten free bread.
Awesome gluten free options! Pizza and salad was great and they even brought out gluten free bread. Must go if in Brera!
Had prosciutto and cheese for starters and tagliata with salad. Waiter was well aware of the ‘allergy’ and also provided gf bread (packed pane)x.
