Everything is delicious! In addition to being completely gluten-free, they are super attentive to all dietary preferences and allergies! Great place, highly recommended!

Perfect place for gluten-free, everything is very good... friendly and knowledgeable staff. I recommend it.

It's my favorite pizzeria. They make everything gluten-free, so there's no risk of contamination. I like their attention to allergens, so don't hesitate to ask.

Very kind and attentive staff. The food is delicious. Great experience!!

Everything is fine, as always. A safe choice for gluten-free, for celiacs, and also for vegans. Always improving. A place with Sicilian influences, and the menu also represents Sicily. The ingredients are very good. The hospitality is great as well. The bill, of course, varies depending on the order. I would say it's reasonable. Unfortunately, no photos, but there are many online.

A true inclusive journey in the flavors of Sicilian tradition. Each dish is an emotion and a journey in taste.

I visited this place with my friend today. We checked the opinions before and we were very curious and excited cause it was the highest rated restaurant in grosseto. The interior is beautiful, vibe is very cozy and stuff was very polite. We are extremely disappointed with food. We ordered Parmigiana for the start and that was the best thing we ate there. The portion was small and overpriced but it was tasty. For the mains we took gnocchi with zucchini sauce. In the menu it was written 'with red shrimps'. As you can see at the photo we got just one shrimp. Gnocchi was fine, but the sauce didnât have the flavor and in general the dish was on the low level. The second dish we ordered spaghetti with swordfish, eggplant and capers. Again, spaghetti was fine but the sauce was misunderstanding. We were searching for flavor but didnât find it. Summing up we appreciate that was gluten free and pasta was really nice but doesnât make the restaurant worth visiting just because of it, if it doesnât bring good flavor. p.s. after reading low reviews we are waiting for response from the owner (a little humility) p.s. actually we were in the sicily

I am not on a gluten-free diet but my wife is. We saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. Normally I'm not a fan of the taste of gluten free food but this was excellent. We both had pasta dishes and I honestly couldn't tell that it was gluten free. Not only were they beautifully presented but they were delicious - the fish was fresh and beautifully cooked and flavoursome. I'd recommend this place whether you are looking for gluten free or not.

One of the best pizzas I have had in Italy and I didn't even realise it was gluten free until I came here to leave a review! Amazing!

Andrea, what can I say, I came yesterday with two friends, we were on a relaxing trip to Grosseto. As a 28-year-old who has been gluten intolerant for 28 years, I can only give you my sincerest compliments for the quality, care, and refinement of the dishes, and the passion you put into the gluten-free theme, which I think still lacks attention. I can't wait to come back and try the other Sicilian delicacies (which I appreciate, as I mentioned, being originally from Palermo myself) and to experience the new journey you are building for us starting in March. Keep it up đŻđĽđ

I, a 28-year-old celiac for 28 years, can only give you my most sincere compliments for the quality, care, and sophistication of the dishes, and the passion you put into gluten-free cuisine, a theme that, in my opinion, is still not getting enough attention.

We start from Olbia, land in Livorno, heading to Rome, returning from a nightmare holiday. During the trip, we get hungry; weâll arrive home late. Google Maps searches: "gluten-free," finds "Il Carrettino" exit for Grosseto, 12 min. No big expectations, I didnât check reviews or anything else. We find ourselves in a delightful little place just at first sight, and Andrea and the girl in the room (sorry, I donât remember the name) pampered us and made us feel at home. So far, the levels are already very high; when we started eating, I wanted to cry with joy (and so did my partner, who has no dietary issues). Eggplant caponata and dreamy arancina, pizzas of incredible lightness and goodness! We finished with baked Sicilian cassata and cannoli, and a little tart for breakfast this morning, which I devoured without leaving a trace. Absolutely competitive prices for such refined and good products! What a joy to discover that we can use e-commerce throughout Italy and beyond, both for artisanal preparations and to purchase their naturally gluten-free flours. What can I say, congratulations on this ambitious project and good luck! You have prepared us well for the last 2.5 hours of travel that separated us from home. Thank you â¤ď¸

Excellent food with very fresh ingredients. Attentive, quick service with a smile. Every detail was taken care of with passion. The staff welcomed us with great kindness. I felt at home.
5
A characteristic locale that makes you feel in a corner of Sicily, not only for the setting but also for the care and attention of the owner Andrea and the girl who served us. Everything was excellent, from the appetizers to the first courses and the pizza. We had already enjoyed the desserts abundantly in the morning at the bar-pastry shop of the same owner: cannolo 10 out of 10! Rare for me not to have to ask which dish is gluten-free, so the excitement and pleasure were doubled. This will surely be a staple stop, despite the distance!

Small venue on a busy street, with few places outside and just as few inside. Welcoming atmosphere, but perhaps a bit cluttered, with references to Sicilian tradition. The culinary proposal, featuring various traditional Sicilian dishes, did not satisfy us much... The sarde a beccafico were full of bones and lacked flavor. The pasta alla Norma was even worse: it was overcooked (but probably had this texture due to the absence of gluten) and had a strange sour taste, like lemon, whose origin we could not understand, especially since it has nothing to do with that pasta. In the eggplant parmigiana, much better than the two previous dishes, there were some pieces of eggplant skin that were a bit too thick. Seafood fritters and billionaire pizza were average. The staff were kind, fairly present, and cordial. Unfortunately, one of us hardly ate, and when we pointed out the problem, we received vaguely unconvinced responses and no discount at the checkout, not even symbolic. Moreover, we waited quite a long time, even though there were not many people. We were quite disappointed!

A small but welcoming place with few tables, where you feel at ease. The waiters are attentive, very kind, and professional. The menu is a la carte or via QR code, but you can ask for other dishes like spaghetti with clams. They serve their own beer, as well as bread made from flour from their own mill. Of course, everything is strictly gluten-free. Everything tastes excellent. The cannoli are exceptional!!
5
We had a wonderful experience at this stylish Sicilian restaurant in Italy. From the moment we arrived, the staff's kindness and attentiveness stood out and made us feel incredibly welcome. The food was absolutely delicious. What truly surprised us was discovering afterwards that the restaurant is gluten-free. We've tried gluten-free food before and it usually doesnât compare â but here, everything tasted so good we genuinely wouldnât have known. A real hidden gem for both gluten-free diners and anyone who just loves great food. Highly recommended!
5
We had a fantastic dinner. The owner was so friendly and the food was absolutely sensational. It was fantastic to know that it was completely gluten free. My pasta with swordfish and eggplant was so tasty.
5
Everything was fantasticâfood, ambiance, and hospitality. The pizza was delicious, the mixed hot dish and desserts were worthy of praise.

This is the second time I've been there, and there have been some changes in the service and menu, unfortunately not for the better. I really appreciate the courtesy (before this review đâŚ), and that the restaurant values being gluten-free and pays attention to vegan/vegetarian dishes; it's a shame, however, that the choices for these types of dishes are very limited (where did the delicious "mixed cold appetizer" go?), and they then offer non-vegan alternatives like foie gras or octopus (which for a vegetarian is more of a blasphemy than for a Catholic the photo of Trump dressed as the Pope :-)). Not to mention the "vegetarian" pizza with swordfish??? (Yes, see the menu photos to believe it đ) The vegan dishes, while prepared with great care, lack interest (and in the case of the "chickpea steak", totally lack flavor). The same goes for the grilled vegetable side, cold and miserably presented without a drizzle of oil or spices, and unfortunately also for the caponata (I wouldn't want to advertise a big chain, but I find that of the coop much more complex and flavorful). Iâm sorry to say this, given the dramatically limited landscape of vegan restaurants, but I hope these notes can be useful to the manager, who seems not shy with words, and if they want to listen (which doesnât seem like it, given the response they gave to this review, filled with false statements, since I left most of the second course and side without them worrying about finding out why), and I apologize if I didnât express them personally: at the moment I was just a bit disappointed, but Iâm not an impulsive person, and I value courtesy over hasty judgments; only after reflection did I realize all these aspects and thought it useful to expose them publicly (in the spirit of Google reviews, whether shareable or not). The only very positive note is the desserts, at least those (not vegan) that I was able to taste (and this is the only appreciation I've also made to the manager). Thanks again for the interesting Amaro Corleone, but be careful: the licorice flavor is so strong that it can overshadow the good aftertastes of the dinner.

Fantastic experience in this 100% gluten-free restaurant from appetizer to dessert, where the love for cooking and the quality of raw materials represent the ingredients of a philosophy about good food. Excellent menu of Sicilian dishes to satisfy everyone. Itâs a must-try if you're in Grosseto, says a certified celiac!!!

Excellent menu of Sicilian dishes to please everyone. You absolutely have to try it if you pass through Grosseto, a word from a certified celiac!!!

Typical Sicilian restaurant, with Sicilian products and also Sicilian decor. Small but very welcoming restaurant. Known for its specialty, gluten-free dishes. As you can see from the menu, there is everything. Seafood, meat, and also pizzas. You have to find parking in the surrounding areas as there is no reserved parking for customers. However, it is close to the historic center, so for those who wish, they can park in one of the alleys that surround it, and afterwards take a nice walk within the walls. Very generous portions, excellent desserts, and very kind staff. Excellent service! Fair prices.

Excellent service, attention and kindness towards the customer, maximum care for any type of intolerance, excellent food.

I visited this special place in Grosseto for a family dinner with my sister, where you can enjoy Sicilian cuisine with gluten-free ingredients. The restaurant is in a fairly central location, but with plenty of parking available. It has tables with umbrellas outside and air-conditioned rooms inside. The uniqueness of this restaurant is the gluten-free food. The menu is accompanied by a list of allergens, and the waiters are very precise in explaining what and how the dishes are prepared. We enjoyed an appetizer of cazzilli and panelle, a tuna tartare with pistachios, sesame, and a sweet and sour sauce, a slice of swordfish a la messinese, and Sicilian cannoli. The fish was incredibly fresh and cooked with care. The Sicilian olive oil on the table was also excellent, with the strong taste of a warm land. The portions are medium-large, and the cost is reasonable considering the excellent quality of the ingredients. We were truly satisfied with the food and the kindness of the staff; we will definitely return to try more typical dishes from Sicily.
5
What can I say? A paradise for us celiacs and delicious even for those without issues! A characteristic Sicilian place, the owner Andrea, very kind, hospitable, ready to offer information on recipes and advice on how to use flour mixes of his own production. I have various intolerances, eggs, milk, gluten, and others, but he managed to make me eat dessert, which was delicious! Unfortunately, I couldn't visit the pastry shop because it was closed on Monday! It's not exactly close for me, but I'll definitely return! Too bad there's no Andrea Greco in Rome!

Very good food, but a bit slow in service... I go there when I have plenty of time!

MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT My girlfriend and I chose this completely gluten-free restaurant to celebrate the eve of our first year together. We had a seafood appetizer, two first courses: Sicilian pici and Trinacria spaghetti. I must note that I am not celiac while my girlfriend is. I can assure you that tasting both first courses, I felt no difference between gluten food and gluten-free food. The cooking was spot on, and the sauce was phenomenal. With every forkful, you could feel the true flavor and pleasure of the Sicilian land. To finish, we opted for two cannoli, and I have to say, they were really excellent. A great way to celebrate the eve of our anniversary, and a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some delicious cuisine. Congratulations Andrea and Costanza

Always great!

On vacation in Maremma, I never thought I would find myself eating Sicilian food. A venue of excellent quality, everything is delicious! And having the peace of mind that my daughter can eat anything, from simple bread to dessert, is a great thing. Congratulations!

As soon as you enter the place, you feel like you're in Sicily, both for the decor and the very good food, maybe a bit expensive but it's worth it!
5
Very nice place, kind and helpful staff. Completely gluten-free and very attentive to intolerances as well. Many options also dairy-free and vegan. Everything is delicious. Definitely try the exceptional octopus in sauce, and the risotto with pistachio and coconut milk which is very good and delicate. Good quality-price ratio. Definitely worth a try.

From appetizer to dessert, everything is gluten-free. A delight for those with celiac disease, who can choose any dish from the menu without limitations. Some dishes are specifically prepared for vegetarians and those with lactose intolerance. Typical Sicilian cuisine. Generous portions and more than fair prices. Fast and friendly service.

TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. We had high expectations based on some reviews, but aside from the mixed Sicilian antipasto (which, with cured ham, Taggiasca olives, and not the "cunzate" olives from Sicily, had very few things), the rest was inedible and of poor quality. Pasta with sardines made with spaghetti no. 3 (!!) that were all broken up, and the sauce was a mash where you couldn't taste the flavor of the fennel, the sardines, the non-existent raisins, or the pine nuts. I am Sicilian...the pasta with sardines made and presented like this is a crime!! Then the mixed fried seafood (among which were 4 shrimp and then calamari) drowned in oil, greasy and soggy. The French fries were sent back because they were soaked in oil and mushy. The only truly good thing was the cannoli...The bill was 53 euros (they didnât charge us for the fries) plus the waiterâs apologies, who realized we were disappointed. What a shame! We hoped to have found a reference point, but it's one to forget. Best wishes to those who do appreciate it.

A really nice and precious place; the venue offers excellent service with a 100% gluten-free menu and a choice of vegetarian, vegan, and lactose-free dishes. The staff and the owner are really knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to the needs of any customer. The bill and prices are great considering the quality of the products offered. I went there on two different evenings during a vacation with my boyfriend and another couple, and those were the two evenings where we ate peacefully without worrying about the risk of contamination, enjoying ourselves and tasting excellent (including typical) Sicilian products. What will remain in my heart (besides the goodness of the dishes) is the love and care the owner puts into his work and the emotion he wants to convey and give to the customer.

Totally gluten-free restaurant/pastry shop (fantastic for me since I'm celiac). We tried some dishes for takeout: the fried fish (cuoppo) and arancina were very good, the cassata was excellent, a must-have. I wasn't convinced by the "fried fish balls with sweet and sour sauce," especially since they're not worth the 12 euros they cost (a good fritter but didn't taste like fish, mostly egg). I didn't understand the sweet and sour sauce, it was neither sour nor sweet. As for the pizza đ: they did the most difficult thing quite well (a pleasant dough, more bread-like in taste, but approved); let's say they lost it on the easy part: the topping. Tomato, mozzarella... And that's it. Not even a drizzle of oil, Iâm not saying I expect a basil leaf, but at least it should be seasoned. Well, I understand we are in Tuscany, and the chef is Sicilian, so I expected even worse! Especially since it was gluten-free! Prices: for being in Tuscany and totally gluten-free, the prices are quite good.
5
Great service, there is no cover charge, slightly long wait times but only because they prepare everything fresh. The interior of the place is very nice. Fair price. The extra virgin olive oil was fabulous! Definitely worth trying :)
5
Each dish is a pleasant surprise...nothing is taken for granted...everything is of excellent quality...cooked perfectly...the portions of grilled fish are even for 2 people, the bread is a delight and the prices are absolutely not high. The waiter provides good recommendations on all the dishes and ingredients. Congratulations on the excellent work!

Very positive evening spent at Carrettino. The menu is very varied, from meat to fish, from pizza to gluten-free, with a good selection of wines. The picio Sicilian style and the tuna with pistachio crumble (off the menu) were very good. To finish the dinner, the cannoli is a must. Definitely returning to try the pizzas as well. Until next time, well done!
5
Everything was amazing! Friendly and very welcoming staff, we ate very well.

A place with exclusively gluten-free options. Even though I can eat gluten, I still went and I have to say I ate really well (their homemade pici with sardines, absolutely delicious). Exceptional desserts. Moreover, the prices were a pleasant surprise. I don't give 5 stars only because the place could improve (sorry for the 4 restaurant syndrome), but it was still very clean and the staff was super friendly. If I return to the area, it will be a stop again. Congratulations.
5
The food is divine, excellent dishes, and beautiful presentations. The waiters and owner, Andrea Greco, are very kind and professional. The Pici (gluten-free) with Sardines were a dream. The modest price is also great. I highly recommend this Sicilian restaurant and pastry shop, Gluten Free. Damy and Ste.

"Il CARRETTINO" Sicilian restaurant in Grosseto.. A culinary experience in the name of great and excellent Sicilian cuisine... "GLUTEN-FREE" but for everyone... in addition, I would add the friendliness of the attentive and fantastic Manager as well as Chef Andrea Greco from the dual region of Sicily and Tuscany..... I highly recommend everyone to have the same experience.... for those who are near Grosseto.
5
While on vacation in Grosseto, we were looking for a place that offered gluten-free dishes... Il Carrettino was truly a wonderful discovery: the entire menu is gluten-free and there is great attention to every dietary need! Andrea, the owner and chef, proved to be an excellent host, welcoming and very passionate. Excellent seafood dishes made with top-quality ingredients. Prices aligned with the quality offered. Recommended for everyone, celiacs and non-celiacs!!
5
A great gluten-free restaurant, the quality is really high and you can hardly notice the difference with gluten-free flours. There aren't many seats, so it's best to reserve, and you can also take away even on Saturday evenings. It's definitely worth trying, both for celiacs and non-celiacs... they also have a pastry shop on Viale Monterosa... worth a try. Honest prices and a wine list suitable for the typicality of the place... very hospitable, even though we went on a rather busy Saturday. If you are in the area, go ahead for a nice evening with tasty dishes.

One disappointment after another! I ordered a mixed seafood appetizer and they brought me a bowl of shells filled with vegetables: I think caponata and other mishmashes! The fish? Some cream on thick slices of bread, a few miserable pieces of octopus submerged under tomatoes, half a sardine that formed a roll filled with breadcrumbs, and a little more, two horrible greasy meatballs. The second course (15 euros) was a quarter slice of swordfish covered in sauce (tomato conservation?) and 6 Taggiasca olives: disgusting! Highly not recommended, don't go, there are much better restaurants in Grosseto!
2
Guys, nothing to say about the pizzas, they are good. The biggest flaw is the time. Maybe it's because Iâm from the North, and usually when you go to a pizzeria and order a pizza, you are served no later than 20 minutes. At the little cart, the pizza arrived after exactly 1 hour and 37 minutes!! Record! Good pizza but bring a book to read!
2
As always, Tuscany has good food, but the portions are small. In Rome, we are used to 'eating', while in Tuscany you taste, but you get up still hungry because prices are higher. The food is good but doesn't satisfy your hunger, so you're torn between prices and hunger... But hunger wins... Prices for second courses are very high... The place is small but has too many Sicilian gimmicks... I understand that itâs Sicilian, but too much is too much. The bathroom is clean... But with what we spent in Rome and surroundings, instead of eating for three, we could have fed four...but feast! Don't just sample.... I recommend it if you want to spend... Oh, I forgot, no pizza for lunch!

Restaurant discovered by chance one day when my son and I found ourselves in Grosseto for a championship match. Very pleasant experience in a place with Sicilian specialties, very welcoming and well managed by attentive and cordial staff. Excellent cuisine, decent wine selection, special typical Sicilian desserts, and very good value for money.
5
Typical Sicilian cuisine, delicious. Exceptional tuna tartare. Excellent typical wine. Desserts? What can I say... A typical and intimate place. A lunch to remember.

We have been to this restaurant three times. The first time we had a not-so-pleasant experience, with greasy pizzas and slow service. The second time, however, we changed our minds: despite the packed room, the service was quite fast, and the waiter (the only one serving about 40 people) was very courteous and listened to our requests attentively. The food quality was good, perhaps a bit too heavy. We were surprised by the goodness of the swordfish parmigiana, a well-executed gamble. The last time we ordered take-out pizzas, prepared on time and quite good.
4
Really nice place, excellent service, very tasty food, and fair prices. The only downside is the music... A whistled tarantella played from the speakers that goes on endlessly without a break...
5
Superlative! Excellent and genuine products at affordable prices. Ordered online and arrived at my home after only 2 days. Staff is polite and attentive to every need. I canât wait to visit them personally at the restaurant.
4
Everything is good, and it is not easy to maintain the characteristics of Sicilian pasta with gluten-free pasta. The staff is kind and knows how to advise the customers. Good wine list. It is a place to visit frequently.
5
Great! The outdoor location didn't convince me much since I was looking for a place with a view, but I was more than satisfied. Various options ranging from gluten-free to vegan, even available rice mozzarella for the pizza. Super honest prices and very accommodating staff. Congrats to the chef for the pistachio risotto, a bit too sweet for my taste but greatly appreciated by my partner.
4
Very nice place and excellent cuisine! The only one we have found so far in all of Italy that cooks only gluten-free... for my partner, it's an ideal spot as he is Sicilian and gluten intolerant.... the only comment is that we would have liked to find some Sicilian staff as well; the staff is very kind and professional, but in a typically Sicilian place, it would be nice to find Sicilian peopleđ
