Finding Gluten Free Spots in Rome ? Is it Possible?

A city trip to Rome is on many peoples bucket list. A visit to the Vatican, Checking out the Colosseum and visiting endless museums. But Italy is also the home of Pizza and pasta. Maybe a trip to the beautiful city will stop you because you follow a gluten-free diet. In this blog you will therefore find the 5 best gluten-free restaurants / bakeries and spots in Rome.

First of all ; The Italian Coeliac Association (AIC) provide all its members with an App enhancing the quality of daily life of people affected by Coeliac Disease: AIC Mobile. Thank to this App, people affected by Coeliac Disease have the opportunity to find gluten free products and safe venues on their smartphone.

If you rather want to stop by at the supermarket than look on the packages for “senza glutine” Carrefour Express and Pam Local have a nice selection of gluten free items in a dedicated section at most of their locations in the city.
