100% gluten-free venue with a wide range of options, both sweet and savory, including vegetarian (and vegan). I've never eaten such a good schiacciata! Prices are in line with the gluten-free market. The staff is very friendly as well. I would gladly return!

The place that every celiac wishes to have nearby, from breakfast to dinner and quick lunches... I would like to take everything away! They are now the kings of discussions in the seaside area of Livorno!

Manalù is a true reference point for those seeking quality and gluten-free taste. In the vibrant heart of Livorno, this place combines the warm hospitality of a bar, the creativity of a restaurant, and the sweetness of an artisanal pastry shop. Every dish is crafted with the utmost attention to detail: from savory offerings that are rich and fancy, to desserts that win you over with the first bite, without making you miss the traditional versions in any way. Much credit goes to Manuela, the owner, who with passion and professionalism carries out a unique project: making gluten-free accessible, enjoyable, and of the highest quality. Her dedication is felt in every creation. A truly valuable bonus is the shipping service throughout Italy: this way, it's possible to bring home a piece of Livorno excellence no matter where you are. A place that combines a love for good cooking, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for those who want to experience authentic, safe, and unforgettable culinary moments.

A place that definitely deserves a visit, the food is divine, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Unique dishes and sandwiches. Efficient service. All of this is 100% gluten-free. We had a schnitzel and a vegetarian dish, finishing with a lemon curd tart.

Really amazing glutenfree croissant I never had before within now more than 10 years with coeliac disease (Zöliakie): so fluffy (fluffig), freshly-baked and Even with different flavours (plain, pistaccio/chocolate creme and more). Beside there are a lot more tasty options like focaccia or you can also order pancakes for breakfast. Everything in the bakery is glutenfree with normal prices without extra charges and so a real dream became true!! :-))

Incredible Gluten Free food!! We stopped here for lunch. We tried a little of everything off the small specials menu. The atmosphere was comfortable and very clean. We were very clearly tourists and because of that I think we were treated differently. They told us the menu was basically 4 things. But then we saw other people eating a variety of other dishes that we were not ofdered. Maybe it was just easier for them to keep things limited for us due to the language barrier but some of the things we saw others eating looked good and we might have ordered that instead.. But over all a good experience. The food was incredible and we took an assortment of treats to go. Would recommend this place for sure.

Large bar with an adjoining laboratory for the production of pastries for celiacs. I think, seeing the numerous tables, that there is the possibility to have lunch. The products are good and varied. Sweet and savory. Excellent coffee. Friendly and courteous staff.

A top spot for gluten-free and more. An industrial and international-looking bakery located in the heart of the city of Livorno. A paradise for every celiac and anyone with food intolerances. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, a craving for savory or during aperitivo time... the choice is right for the quality of the products and the courtesy of the staff!

Charming place, excellent food, but they reach their highest level with the "oven". The sandwiches they make are reasonably priced in line with other sandwich shops, and they are really good. It can also be used as a bakery, as this is the department in which they excel beyond measure.

It's a shame you can't give more than 5 stars!!! I ordered online, the site is very understandable with all the necessary explanations and ingredient lists. The order was placed on Thursday, and they shipped it on Tuesday, so very timely considering they send fresh products of the day. It arrived on Wednesday and I tasted it immediately. Excellent quality, good flavors, and finally a worthy gluten-free option! Really good, nothing to envy from classic food with gluten, indeed, much better! I finally found salvation for my breakfasts. The croissants are exceptional, I've never had such good ones. I really missed them in terms of flavor, and thanks to you I can finally eat them again.

The place is very expensive. I paid €5.60 for 3 pastries that were not of the quality they want you to believe when entering the nice-looking venue. I went in to get a hazelnut cream puff, a zabaglione puff, and a cream croissant. The lady gave me a zabaglione puff, a cream croissant that wasn’t even good—it seemed like it had been sitting out too long—and a chocolate puff, which I’m intolerant to. Now I feel unwell and will never return to this shop, which is a shame because the zabaglione puff was delicious. But I can't risk feeling sick because of a service mistake. I trusted a lady with glasses who didn’t hear me, even though I was shouting—perhaps a bit deaf. However, if the music is too loud and you can’t hear even when I raise my voice, lower the music or remove the lady from service. By the way, I asked for a macchiato twice and she didn’t hear me, and then I asked for the cream brioche in hand four times in a row. Then she pretended nothing happened. But if you also get the flavor wrong on the puff, you’re killing me! And if I wanted the brioche in my hand it’s because I didn’t want it wrapped due to the cream; I didn’t want to wrap it around the napkin where the cream gets stuck to the paper and ruins that moment for me. No, seriously, you need to be more careful. I’ll make one last random stop. Next time I’ll have health inspectors come. I had a terrible breakfast, and now I need to go to the doctor immediately. I don’t recommend it to anyone; terrible service. Stomach ache, weight gain, and vomiting. A beautiful day turned into a bad one. I won't accept it, especially since I would have paid a lot for three sweet pieces. Then I called to complain. What do you replace? I’ve already ingested it; it was takeout and I was in a hurry. Now I need to rush to the doctor. I hope you also have a bad day. It doesn’t matter, call the owner. Now the owner will read the review. 1) Information for your staff: Can an allergic reaction be fatal? (true) 2) Those who have had, or are at risk of having, severe allergic reactions must always carry an epinephrine auto-injector and antihistamine tablets. Severe reactions require emergency treatment at an emergency department. 3) Never trust shopkeepers in Italy. It’s not as safe as abroad. Abroad, especially in the UK, they are more reliable and care more about the customer. That's the difference between the UK and Italy. Shopkeepers in Italy are not as dependable as abroad; I hope you are more careful. I suggest refresher courses for the staff on related risks as mentioned. But let's drop that this time. Everyone can make mistakes.

I went out to eat and I had the meat which was nothing short of exquisite, with the green sauce that I swear I loved. As for the desserts (I should mention that I am not from Livorno), I often order them because they are stunning like the pizza. The bread, however, for my taste is too crumbly but very good.

Try the brioches and pastries, absolutely unparalleled. Better than many gluten products. Bread with sourdough and very good gluten-free focaccias. A must-try if you are in Livorno.

A point of reference when I arrive in Livorno. There should be one in every city. Everything completely gluten-free, from breakfast to lunch, snacks, and dinner. Everything is really excellent. Moreover, they offer various activities and initiatives, workshops, and training events all related to the gluten-free world.

I have already ordered twice and I'm very happy! They ship on Tuesdays and it's best to let the products stay in storage to pick them up intact and fresh the next day. The rustic gluten-free focaccia is wonderful when heated, and the brioches and crackers/grissini are really good!

Inside the Central market a tasty and friendly little bakery awaits the weary GF traveler with Golden milk and Beignets! A family affair, 3 siblings whose names combined make up the bakeries name, joined efforts for the one diagnosed with Celiac. I took a box of sweets to go and then headed to their restaurant for lunch! Delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Wish I could return.
