Piccolo Forno

I LOVED this place! Once upon a pre-gf time, fettuccine alfredo was one of my favorite simple pasta meals - most places the sauce has gluten. Not so here - it was beyond delicious! The pasta noodles are perfect, the staff even brought out the box so I could take a picture and let me know I could order it from Amazon, it’s an Italian brand. (Le Veneziane if you’re in the market!) The staff was warm and friendly, knowledgeable, and the experience was everything I could have asked for. They made sure to let me know that the pizzas can be made with a gf crust, but are cooked in the same oven, so depending on your sensitivity you may want to go for the totally separately-prepared pasta. Honestly, go for the pasta anyway - you won’t regret it!

I have celiacs and San Francisco can be hard to find a good Italian place to eat. This place is worth the trip! We checked it out twice before and after a cruise. Great and honest staff!!!! You won't be disappointed!!

Super delicious pasta! I asked our server what they had for gluten free options and they said they had 4 different types of gluten free pasta. I got the linguine and meat sauce (it wasn't linguine it was something else on the menu, but they said linguine was the closest gluten free option they had). It was delicious! Best meal I had in San Francisco. I'm pretty sure the pasta was homemade (or they need to tell me what pasta they are buying). They also had pizza but I didn't get that. 10/10 I need this every day

My kids who are allergic to gluten, dairy and soy LOVED how many gluten free options there were and said the fettuccine was the best they ever had! The service and atmosphere where wonderful too!

Delicious GF pizza, similar to authentic NY style. Pasta was also excellent. Very authentic, no frills, worth every penny.

So many gf pasta and pizza options! I had the beef ragu w gluten free fettuccine. I was so happy to hear they had 3 different types of gf pasta (not just penne!) and my dish was delicious. It’s not often I get so many choices. There are normal pasta options as well for your non celiac friends.

The ENTIRE MENU was available gluten free. No hassle and NO UPCHARGE for GF pasta. I had the Spaghetti with clams and it was perfection. Nice service, very low key and excellent with kids. No kids menu but easy to split a pizza (also available GF). Highly recommend.

5 different types of pastas and great GF sauces to go with.
