I dined three times at this restaurant; they offer the entire menu also in gluten-free version. Excellent appetizers and pizzas; they also have gluten-free beer. Efficient, friendly staff who are knowledgeable about celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten allergies.

I tried this place for the first time last Saturday. We had a reservation for 9:15 PM, and no one told us about the existence of 'multiple turns'. We were invited to wait for about 15 minutes at most, but we sat down after more than half an hour. What is concerning is that we were not the only ones, and the people sitting at the table since 8 PM were asked to leave for us who were waiting. Out of courtesy, we should have been informed. If I book for 9:15 PM, I shouldn't have to sit down at 10 PM because you have multiple turns to accommodate more customers. Not satisfied with that, we waited another half an hour for two pizzas and a salmon fillet. The salmon was good, the pizza was good, but the gluten-free one was inedible. I was told it was a handmade dough prepared by them, but it was as hard as rocks. Terrible. We certainly won't be returning.

The staff was kind and helpful despite our delay of over half an hour. The place was clean, warm, and welcoming, it was Sunday evening and there were few people sitting, so we didn't wait long for the pizza. They were accommodating regarding my lactose intolerance as well. It's a pity that the dough was too heavy, and we felt it all evening. All in all, the pizza was good! Will we return? I don't know. 4 pizzas (for which 4 covers), 3 drinks, and 2 coffees for €64, an average price.

I have known this place for a long time; it used to be significantly better in quality, but let's get to the point. Last night, I went to this pizzeria, and they told me they had run out of gluten-free pizza bases. I decided to try the 'mari e monti' pasta, which they charge a hefty 14.50 for. Not only were the prices outrageously high in relation to what I ate, but the pasta was inedible! It was spaghetti with swordfish served in broth, all soggy, resembling a stew, and it was also bland. I couldn't eat it even with parmesan. Afterwards, I opted for a dessert; they used to have really delicious gluten-free cheesecakes, and I would go there every time for a good slice, but now they only have baskets that barely resemble cheesecake, and they weren't available! There was only the warm gluten-free heart; I decided to try that to please my palate and... I wish I hadn't, as it was practically left almost raw. I am attaching a photo. I usually never complain, I eat everything, but what happened leaves me speechless. What can I say, it’s a shame given the quality of the place! I wonder if they have changed chefs.

The place is well-kept and has seating available outside. The staff is friendly and professional, and the menu features various delicacies including first and second courses, burgers, but among them reigns the queen "pizza," made with quality flours and toppings, with a great gluten-free selection! I am curious about the seafood dishes and... I will be back to taste them. The prices are reasonable for the products offered. Recommended!!
