Absolutely brilliant dinner here with one coeliac eating safely (we also ordered non gluten free with no cross contamination issue) We turned up without a reservation and the owner welcomed us so warmly despite being incredibly busy and completely packed. The food was excellent with large portions. The panna cotta (which was gluten free) was particularly good. The service was brilliant, attentive, and enthusiastic. Can’t recommend this place enough

Absolutely the best dining experience we had in Rome! The food, the service, and the patio dining experience were exceptional. Bobo (the owner) and Alberto took care of us with friendly service and laughter. They made us feel like family. The entire menu can be made gluten free, and they understand celiac since Bobo has it. Every dish was delicious, including the gluten free focaccia, veal saltimbocca, and the candida tartlet. Certainly one of the best GF desserts I've ever had! The gluten dishes are equally as good too. You may pay more here than other restaurants because you want to try everything, so watch your bill (especially when they offer extras that might be additional charges), but it will be so worth it. They also added a service charge that wasn't a tip. Not sure why but others have too. Enjoy.

This was an absolutely amazing dinner. I am gluten-free and I was treated with the most impressive service and experience, and the food was absolutely out of this world. Anyone with any gluten sensitivity or allergies should come and just enjoy the thorough menu, abundant options and savor of the flavor of the Black Tulip!

Gricia with artichokes and tonnarelli is excellent, knowledgeable staff, entire menu (except for a couple of appetizers) also gluten-free. Prices are within the local average.

We had lunch at this place because it was marked as certified gluten-free. After a short wait, even though we hadn't reserved, we sat down and enjoyed looking at all the photos of famous people and signed jerseys hanging on the walls. The food was very tasty at honest prices. Everyone was satisfied with both the restaurant and pizzeria sections. Highly recommended.

We chose this place for its famous gluten-free menu and dedicated service. We ordered two appetizers, two main courses (one gluten-free), and a dessert, but the quality of the dishes left much to be desired. The artichoke alla giudia was excessively greasy, as was the dressing for the gricia. The main courses arrived 15 minutes apart, clearly indicating poor communication between the kitchen and service. The final bill was definitely steep for what was offered. In my opinion, there are other restaurants with a more authentic and varied offer, especially for those eating gluten-free.

We wanted to have dinner in Trastevere and I'm celiac, so we were figuring out which place to choose. Initially, we were heading towards an AIC chain, but later, to try a more traditional experience, we opted for “Il Tulipano Nero”. What can I say, we didn't regret it at all, in fact, the entire menu is also available in gluten-free, everyone was very attentive to celiac disease and possible contamination (which did not occur), pizza and pasta without gluten, looking and tasting just as good as those with gluten (my boyfriend, who is not celiac, also tried it), a pleasant and “Roman” atmosphere, just what we were looking for. If I had to mention a downside, I would say the prices are a bit high, but given the quality of the food, this can be tolerated. We'll definitely return.

Nice location, kind and attentive staff. I tried their carbonara and their tiramisu, great experience.

ABANDON ALL LAZIALI, YOU WHO ENTER!! 😂 The environment and the service are super family-friendly and reminiscent of old Roman taverns where every extra word is superfluous. A place without shame and without praise, just the way we like it, because here you can see the true essence of Trastevere 😎 with tables both outside and inside. I don’t hesitate to say that here I had the best GLUTEN-FREE pizza with a Roman-style crust (thin and crispy at the edges), light, easily digestible, HUGE, and loaded with toppings! The supplì was good too, but there’s still room for improvement, so see you next time, GREAT JOB! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 “At the Black Tulip it’s not for you…” semi quote.

Pleasant atmosphere and great location, with very helpful staff. I personally tried a supplì and a gluten-free first course, both really excellent! The menu offers many gluten-free options, so it’s perfect for those looking for variety and safety in Rome, in the Trastevere area :)

Decent food with a lot of choices on the menu. Good carbonara but not exceptional.

Great experience. Pleasant location and discreet service. As for the menu, we had classic supplì and the gluten-free option is absolutely recommended!! For all celiacs who want to enjoy any type of pasta or pizza, you can easily do it here!! Carbonara and Amatriciana were delicious. ☺️
5
Great dinner, the fried items (except for the mozzarella sticks and potato croquettes) can all be gluten-free. The pasta is excellent; I recommend the carbonara 😍 which is a classic with homemade gluten-free pasta. The pizza is very thin and crispy; personally, I didn't like the dough much, but that's a matter of taste. The portions are large, come hungry 🤤 Attentive and kind staff.

very messy place, not very attentive to who the dishes are coming to and they take gluten-free very lightly. I was afraid the whole time they would bring me the wrong dish. The pizza seemed contaminated seeing how they made everything together. The pasta was very good, but I couldn't enjoy it because of the anxiety.

I booked at this place because I had heard several positive reviews. This venue in the heart of Trastevere did not disappoint my expectations: I had a supplì, carbonara, and tiramisù to finish. Everything was really good and the prices were fair.

Roman-style artichoke, excellent, in the Trastevere district. Friendly staff.

Supplì and first courses are very good! The place is nice, friendly, and welcoming.

Great dinner, the best for those with celiac problems. Finding a place that has everything from appetizers to dessert is always very rare. Courtesy and precision from all the staff. All of this in a special atmosphere: Trastevere... highly recommended!!!

I often go there now. It's a historic place with photos in the menu of famous people who have eaten there. The first courses are served in pans as per tradition and everything is good. The service is young and friendly. They also have gluten-free options.

One word to describe the food at this restaurant: wow. Everything is delicious, we ordered several gluten-free dishes and you can't feel the difference between these and the 'glutinous' food. Sublime gluten-free focaccia, just like their amatriciana (the gluten-free pasta is homemade), not to mention the fried artichoke. The staff is kind and friendly. Super honest prices. Well done, highly recommended!!

I have been there several times and I can review that the second courses and fried dishes are okay. Unfortunately, I felt sick right away from the pasta.
5
We found the place through Instagram, we tried it and we are fully satisfied! We chose all our gluten-free dishes and they have a wide and varied selection. Everything was delicious! Huge pizza, really good dough. Delicious pasta, generous but just right portion! We also had a sensational supplì and a zucchini flower with anchovies and mozzarella, super crispy!! We will definitely return, it was a very pleasant discovery!

After tasting their cuisine, I have only one word to describe their dishes, and that is WOW! I am celiac and I had never tasted flavors like this; it was truly a pleasant discovery. I had the chance to try most of the dishes, where I found quality and love in the cooking. The staff is exceptional; in particular, I had a great time with Mrs. Annalisa, who is super competent, kind, and you can see the love and passion in her work. I will definitely return, also because I could recognize their dishes by their unique flavors with my eyes closed! They truly deserve a lot, both for gluten and gluten-free cooking. Go there, and you won't regret it!!

Cute and welcoming place, very kind staff. Excellent gluten-free pizza, more than acceptable prices, nice area.

FANTASTIC! I've never eaten so well and so peacefully without worries about contamination.

I booked on TheFork for dinner, but with the Tulipano Nero it was love at first sight, so I returned the next day for lunch. I have been gluten intolerant for many years and have never felt so happy and satisfied: their gluten-free carbonara is nothing short of heavenly, the same goes for the supplì and desserts (I even had a Nutella cheesecake just to 'keep it light'). The owner is super friendly and helpful, truly fantastic. I will dream about this carbonara at night ❤️

everything gluten-free from appetizers to desserts! good but not cheap

We went for lunch on Sunday; from a food standpoint, everything was very good. We had a supplì and a truly excellent gluten-free pizza. Unfortunately, while we were eating, the owner was shouting in the kitchen at the cooks and waiters. Our table was near the kitchen, and the atmosphere, given the high level of tension present, was certainly not the best.

Great pizzeria restaurant. Really good food and a wide choice for celiacs. The staff is also very friendly. Nice location in the heart of Trastevere. Highly recommended.

The Black Tulip is a place suitable for everyone: those who are gluten intolerant and those who are not. The menu is appropriate for all, and no one has to give up anything, but there are always valid alternatives. For example, the pizza... Roman-style, thin, tasty, and crunchy... A real pizza even for those who are gluten intolerant, usually resigned to eating things that resemble shoe soles. The service is informal and fitting for the place, but still very attentive. The only drawback, which is manageable, is the confusion generated inside the full establishment: unfortunately, many people sometimes forget they are in a restaurant and engage in animated conversations. However, this could just be a winter nuisance, because in summer the Black Tulip, in its little square, offers comfort to everyone. Highly recommended also for the quality-price ratio.

Outdoor lunch in the heart of Trastevere. Chosen for the possibility of gluten-free dishes. Booked with The Fork where the discount was correctly applied. Typical first courses as they should be... carbonara, gricia, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana! What to say... the only downside was the very slow service, but we give the benefit of the doubt being a Sunday lunch. We will still take a nice memory for the friendly staff.

By chance, we ate at the Tulipano Nero for lunch today. As someone who doesn't eat gluten, I discovered a gluten-free certified restaurant in Trastevere; I tried the pizza, and I must say it is the best I've found in Rome so far: thin, wood-fired, very well-topped, and super digestible. Next time, I will try the first courses, which they assured me are very good. The others also ate well: salmon, puntarelle, and scaloppine. Several outdoor tables. We will return soon. Thank you, guys!

Two stars for the trust in the pizza (Roman style, thin and crunchy) that looked good but I didn't take, and for the wide gluten-free choice. For the rest, it is absolutely not worth the expense. Prices are exaggerated compared to the quality and portions.

At the black tulip, you can eat very well. They are very attentive to gluten-free options, and for those who have this problem, but it's not just for those who live it that way! We said it was perfect for gluten-free, a little less so for regular dishes (I explain: cold carbonara dish, not warm but cold—I repeat, I complained about the second meatball that burned my mouth. Was a middle ground between the two dishes possible? I think so! At lunch during the workweek, there weren't many people there.
