Gluten-Free in Siena: Where to Eat Safely
Italy is surprisingly good for celiacs. Here's the Siena map.
# Gluten-Free in Siena: Where to Eat Safely
Italy has the highest celiac diagnosis rate in Europe — meaning chefs know how to handle it. Siena is well-equipped.
What visitors ask
Certified celiac restaurants?
Search the AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) database — several Siena listings.
Gluten-free pasta?
Common. Most trattorias keep a separate pot.
Gluten-free pizza?
La Napoletana 2.0 typically offers a GF dough option — confirm at booking. Several other pizzerias also do.
Bakeries?
Look for 'senza glutine' — Coop and Conad supermarkets stock GF bread/pasta.
Cross-contamination?
Italian kitchens are usually conscientious. Mention 'celiaco' clearly when ordering.
Local tip
Carry a printed celiac restaurant card in Italian if you're highly sensitive. AIC sells official ones.
