Celiac-Safe Restaurants in Siena (AIC-Certified)
Not 'gluten-free option' — actually safe for celiacs. The certified list.
# Celiac-Safe Restaurants in Siena (AIC-Certified)
Look for the AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) spiga barrata sticker. These restaurants have separate prep areas and trained staff. Far safer than just 'senza glutine' on the menu.
AIC-certified spots in Siena
Pizzeria San Martino, Osteria Permalico, and Le Campane are the most consistent. Confirm certification when booking — some rotate.
Celiac-safe pizza
For pizza, the safest bet in Siena is an AIC-certified pizzeria with a dedicated GF workflow — ask your hotel for the current best option, as the list rotates. Most traditional wood-fired pizzerias (including La Napoletana 2.0) do not offer gluten-free dough, since cross-contamination in a single wood oven is hard to avoid.
Pharmacy backup
Farmacia ai Due Mori (Banchi di Sopra) stocks gluten-free snacks. Useful for between-meal panic.
