Good gluten-free pizza, a bit less for the service. The place is run-down and the restrooms are dirty. Prices are high for the service they offer.

delicious pizza, one of the few places in Genoa that has gluten-free pizza made on-site and not frozen. I have been visiting the restaurant for years, and in addition to having a full range of pizzas, it also offers the entire menu gluten-free.

Not much, my daughter left some pizza. I always appreciate the effort of those who provide gluten-free options anyway.

I went a couple of years ago, the pizza wasn't great. This year I think they've changed something, because the gluten-free pizza was well topped and made by them, I liked it. I recommend it.

Never again!!! We came for Christmas lunch... We were told there would be no problem with gluten-free options, moreover they have the AIC sticker, they didn't even serve me the first course!!! And you would be an AIC certified restaurant? Give me a break!!!! You've gone downhill, it was better years ago.

Great restaurant, especially for the wide selection of dishes including options for celiacs, such as pizza and mixed fried food. The regular pizza is large and thin, with a crispy crust and a soft interior. It's a super digestible and tasty pizza that doesn't weigh you down once finished. The fried food is good, with fresh and crispy fish; it's not soggy or heavy. 5 stars not only for the cuisine, quality, and speed of service but also for the smile and professionalism of the waiters, even though it was crowded. Excellent job!

I was there a few evenings ago. I had heard about this restaurant. I was alone. The gentleman at the register escorted me to my table. The head waiter, I believe, approached me (as the other two boys were not taking orders), to whom I ordered spaghetti with clams without garlic and parsley because I'm intolerant to some ingredients. He was professional and kind. After a short wait, I received a good and really generous first course overflowing with clams. What can I say, exceptional value for money. During my time there, the other waiters and the bartender also interacted, all very friendly and kind. I highly recommend it!

We were here for a pizza with friends. We chose this place because it is one of the few in Genoa certified by AIC (Italian Coeliac Association). Unfortunately, the choice was not a good one. If the guarantee of gluten-free pizza should be a certainty, the quality of the pizza was definitely not (both the gluten-free and gluten-containing one). Chewy (perhaps due to imperfect leavening or baking, I couldn't say) and difficult to digest, for both me, who has no issues with gluten, and my wife, who has Gluten Sensitivity and faced significant difficulties (for us, there remains doubt about the genuine attention to gluten-free preparation). The response to our request (made the day before in a reservation) for pizza with lactose-free mozzarella was also unpleasant: "NO, but if you want, you can bring it from home." It should be noted that those who have problems with gluten often have issues with lactose, so in a place certified by AIC one would expect attention to Lactose Free as well. In response to our request, the answer was truly incompetent. It would have been sufficient to provide a minimum amount of lactose-free mozzarella without forcing us to bring it from home. It was also unpleasant not to receive a discount at the checkout for our provided ingredients.

We had dinner for 4: 3 pizzas (zucchini and ham/Margherita/aubergine) and a mixed fried fish without gluten + 2 beers and 2 bottles of water; we spent more than 20€ each. It's expensive!
