Il Discovolo La Spezia

This was fabulous!! They keep the gf things separate from the gluten and they’re so so good. It’s a little tricky to find gf in Cinque Terre so we went here a few times and loved it. (Also great if you have a travel companion who eats gluten). Try the farinata with pesto (naturally gf), torta riso, and focaccia!!

A lot of GF take away options: pizza, pasta, focaccia and you can also try the Cinque Terre specialty, farinata here (that is naturally gluten free since it’s made of chickpea flour). It’s a small place but has a great vibe to it, the owner is just lovely and even though you chose from the products on display, you’ll get fresh ones straight out from the oven. Great experience!

We’ve been here twice in the past 6 years when we visit manarola. It’s a great option for take away. GF pizza, focaccia, cornetto, muffins… just depends how early and when you get there. Also wine and beer is cheap for take away. The service can vary but overall we’ve never had an issue. When it’s busy, you can tell it gets a bit hectic but you’ll be taken care of.

We went later for dinner, so a lot of GF options were out. The owner told me exactly what I can have. When he brought my meal out, it was in a separate bag from my husband's meal (with gluten). They also had GF beer. When looking at the door the GF menu was on the right side.

Have a strangely large variety of gluten free foods considering the size and informality(not necessarily in a bad way) of the restaurant. I had a GF pesto pizza that was actually quite good. Sizes are small, but prices reflect it. Would order x2 if I was really hungry.

This restaurant was amazing! A friendly man helped us and explained that we could have pizza and a few different kinds of focaccia. We had the pesto pizza and it was absolutely incredible. Super creamy cheese and a tasty crust.

A surprise to find gf options considering most places are closed for December. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. One case is GF with foccia, pizza, and la farinata which is made of chickpea flour. It was delicious! He toasted it so it was warm and a bit crispy.

This was fabulous to find this next to the harbor, signs for gluten free are out front! I ordered the flatbread gluten free and a focaccia after asking if they were baked in separate ovens. He said yes, of course, he’s been doing this for over 20 years. It’s delicious. He doesn’t accept cards and it’s made clear up front but don’t let that deprive you of delicious gluten free, dairy free food.

We did not actually eat here but this is more of a grab and go lunch spot. Food looked good and lots of gluten-free options

Great gluten free focaccia!! Perfect lunch spot!

Gluten free takeaway shop right by the water in Manarola. Big selection of pizza, pasta, farinata, even lasagna! Gluten free beer available too.
