# Eating Gluten-Free in Siena
Italy is one of the most celiac-aware countries in the world, and Siena is no exception. AIC-certified restaurants exist even in the small historic center.
Key facts
- Look for the AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) sticker on the door.
- Gluten-free pizzerias: a handful, including some that make GF pizza in a separate oven.
- Standard trattorias: ask for 'menu senza glutine'. Many can do polenta-based or rice-based dishes.
- Risk dishes: most fresh pasta, all bread-based soups, fried items (shared oil).
- Useful Italian: 'sono celiaco/a' (I have celiac disease).
What I tell visitors
For pizza, ask your hotel for the current best GF pizzeria — the scene rotates and online lists are often outdated.
