The server was very knowledgeable, helpful and kind about celiac.

The food was delicious. They gave me some fresh, hot, out of the oven focaccia slices. I had the spaghetti bolognese… and it was real GF spaghetti, not the darned penne that everyone else has.

My husband had the caprese salad and regular pizza …. He said both were top notch.

We’ve been to this restaurant three times now and will continue going when we are in Zurich!

This is a nicer restaurant. Though it was really great they had gluten free pizza I felt it was a bit bland. If I come here next time maybe I will try something else. Not a lot of options for those that are vegetarian/vegan.

There was no gnocchi. They substituted Tagliatelle, it wasn’t good. My son needed dairy free. And she was clueless. Everyone at my table really didn’t like the meal. Our waitress had a large table so our table of four was forgotten. The food was average, the service was awful. The price was crazy high. Just not worth it.

I ordered gluten free gnocchi with truffles. It was excellent. I am only gluten intolerant so did not ask about cross contamination. The gnocchi was excellent. They were very accommodating when I told them my restrictions. They also have gluten free pastas and pizza crust.

Ich habe mich sehr wohl und ernst genommen gefühlt. Für Zöliakiebetroffene ein Traum, es gibt Pizza (in einem separaten Ofen zubereitet), Ravioli, Pasta, ich war richtig happy. Die Pizza war sehr lecker, meine erste GF Pizza in einem schweizer Restaurant! ich werde wieder kommen!

The gluten free pizza is very good. Prices are slightly higher than average (they have a supplement for the gluten free dough). It’s safe for celiacs as they use a separate oven. I’ve never felt sick there.

This restaurant is wonderful. The menu begins with the history of the restaurant and a little about the owner. He is maybe 30 years old and started the establishment to recreate some of his Italian heritage. He served us and spoke with us. He believes good food come from the heart, not the desire for money. My party tried a variety of dishes and everyone loved it. I had a GF margarita pizza. Is was wonderful. They also have pasta GF. The gelato ( and everything here) is made in house and the chocolate fondant gelato is amazing! I highly recommend this Italian restaurant.

Ok my family and I ate there all but the youngest liked the food and drinks. They have gf pasta and pizza I had the ham and mushrooms pizza it was amazing is it like a normal pizza, no. They give you a fork and knife and you cut it yourself I had to also cut bite sized pieces to start as it was not firm (same with gluten version but lesser degree). It does not have cheese all over either

I chose the margharita pizza. The dough was fine but the topping wasn’t quite delicious. Service was also not so good, we had to wait for everything for too long. I wouldn’t go there for another time only if it’s my last option to choose.

Wheat Allergy

Overall Rating

Review


Unfortunately after eating a gluten-free pizza from this restaurant my husband had a severe allergic reaction culminating in full anaphylactic shock. He is allergic to wheat, so I would advise anyone with similar allergies to be very cautious about eating here.

In view of the many positive reviews from people with coeliac disease, I wonder whether an ingredient may have contained gluten-free wheat starch.

The staff were so lovely…very knowledgeable and attentive. They brought me a GF bun with my salad. I wish I could tell you that the pizza was good, but it wasn’t. It’s like the top of the dough is still raw, and the sauce and cheese are flavourless.

I had the spaghetti carbonara one night—it was delicious. I also had the caprese salad. A few nights later, I ordered pizza for takeout. It was good, but the crust was a bit bready. No ill effects either time.

Food is below average and the staff didn't know much about celiacs. Eventually I got to talk with the owner (I think?) and they explained me their safety procedure. I decided to eat something after all and I think it was safe. Very expensive though, even for Zurich. The website says everything is available also glutenfree, which is not true.

Great attention, nice place and tasty food. They seemed to control the cross contamination issue well. However, if you’re celiac, I would recommend saying you need to eat strictly gluten-free and asking them to be extra careful in the kitchen when manipulating foods.

They make both gluten free pizza and gluten free pasta. I had the pizza with mozzarella and pepperoni, and it was pretty darn tasty. The pizzas are a bit expensive ($30 minimum) and it’s an extra $2.50 for gluten free crust. I recommend splitting with a friend! ☺

I’m always nervous trying new places because I am VERY sensitive to even cross contamination. This place was AMAZING!!! I got a pizza and it was the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’ll probably dream about it tonight. It’s been 8 hours and still not sick. They even brought me a roll. Also the staff was very nice and accommodating. They know how to handle the need to be Gluten Free.

After seeing this on here I thought I should try it as I was desperate for a nice pizza, well this pizza didn’t fail to hit the spot, it was light and fluffy and had plenty of topping, I have the seafood pizza, my friend had none GF prawn with courgette and another none GF spicy salami, they both loved them as well, we will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed our meal very much, with warm hospitality, nice atmosphere, and great food and service. They were very helpful with gluten free options for me, and our conversation indicated that they understood how to prepare the food truly gluten free, suitable for a celiac. My gluten free pizza was excellent. My wife also enjoyed her regular pasta dish. Zurich is expensive generally, but the prices were reasonable. Convenient location, about 5 minutes walk from the main train station. We will definitely go there again upon returning to Zurich.

Staff very accomodating with GF pizza & buns. Pizza's very good. We were disappointed to be ripped off with the salad; ordered plain green salad 10eur. Were given a chicken salad worth 20eur the waiter said we'd ordered. Deliberately misunderstood our order for wine & salad. Just go for pizza.

GF pizza was very good. Since we were flying back the next day the server wrapped the leftovers in foil and a plastic bag so I could carry through the airport and eat on the plane. Cold pizza is much better than warm airplane food in my opinion. But I digress. The waiter selected the wine for me and he made an excellent choice. Nice atmosphere...I felt like I was in Italy instead of Switzerland. The location is a little hard to find with google maps but it is in walking distance from the train station and from Starbucks. If you are pressed for time this may not be the place for you.

Very nice Italian restaurant near the main Zurich train station. Gluten free bread rolls served with our salad. In addition to the excellent gluten free pizza, they also had both fusilli and ravioli gluten free as well. On their website, they state "You can also get gluten-free pizzas and pastas on request. Our chefs and our staff are well informed about gluten intolerance and celiac disease and will gladly advise you on the choice of your gluten-free menu."(translated by Google).
