Trattoria Osteria Buca Manzoni

I’ll preface this with the fact that the restaurant was swamped and only 2 wait staff to service everyone. Menu was marked with allergens and there was a decent variety of options for GF. We ordered a plate of meat and local cheese. It was labeled for 2 people but it could’ve fed an army. The table got bread, and I got a bag of gf crostini (not great for eating with cheese and sliced meats). The first course was bolognese tagliatelle and it was delicious. I was full for the second course (I ordered the beef). It was a beautiful piece of steak but it was severely undercooked (mostly tartare). I would’ve sent it back but wait staff never made it back to the table to ask (they were understaffed and a serving a large group). The staff did their best, were attentive, and knowledgeable. Food was good and the place has a lot of character.

We seated outside around 8 pm. We waited for about 10 minutes when a waiter arrived, he was so weird, like he does not want to serve us. My girlfriend ate a gluten-free bolognese pasta. Next day she felt sick, and she vomited the pasta. Do not eat there!

Great place for dinner. Almost all pastas can be made gluten free. Gluten free grissini provided with Mortadella platter. Servers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of locals which is always a good sign.

The tagliatelle al ragu was so good. It’s hard to find a restaurant that serves gf pasta aside from penne and spaghetti. I had the special tuna and cheese salad another day for lunch. At 10 euro it was a steal - the cheese alone was worth way more. It was delicious - with some of the veggies pickled and all sorts of lettuce.

Friendly and welcoming staff! Definitely would recommend! The staff informed me that it would take more time to cook mine because they were going to clean everything, cook new vegetables, and fire up the other oven so that there would be no cross contamination!

Full list of allergens for every dish. Great gluten free pasta and bolognese sauce.

I almost didn't stay to order because I wasn't crazy about the gluten free options on the menu at first glance. But when the server came by, and I told him I'd be dining gluten free, he pointed at the signature tagliatelle al ragu bolognese and informed me they had gluten free tagliatelle for me. It was delicious. The charcuterie board was pretty great, too, and we finished the meal with an affogato (ice cream and espresso).
