Pisa offers 5 verified addresses, 3 of them fully dedicated kitchens, with no wheat flour on the premises: a restaurant certified by AIC and opened in 2023, its sister pizzeria, and a bakehouse that flatly bans gluten from its premises. That leaves two mixed addresses, one of which deserves a detailed explanation.

The three fully dedicated addresses

Grano Libero Ristorante Senza Glutine, Via dei Mille, is Pisa’s first 100% gluten-free restaurant, opened in 2023 and certified by the Associazione Italiana Celiachia. The menu is complete: pasta, burgers, fried food, homemade bread, tiramisu — fried food included, which is rare and means the fryer isn’t shared. The official website claims “zero contaminazione,” and italia.it and Gluto agree. This is the safest address in the city.

L’Altra Spiga - Pizza & Bistrot, Via Santa Maria, is the pizzeria-bistro sister of Grano Libero, run by the same owners: a 100% gluten-free menu, pizzas, focaccias, fresh pasta and schiacciatine, to eat in or take away. Several local press outlets — La Nazione, PisaToday, PisaNews — confirmed the status at its opening.

Mai Grano Delizie Artigianali, Via S. Iacopo, is a bakehouse that strictly bans bringing in any product containing gluten, in both its workshop and its sales area. Breads, pastries, cakes and daily specials therefore carry no cross-contamination risk. Tripadvisor confirms the in-house rule.

The two addresses that need a caveat

ER - Pasticceria Gluten Free, Via Aurelia Nord, reimagines Neapolitan and Tuscan classics in gluten-free versions — pasta frolla, babà, bread, focaccia — and celiac customers rate it highly. But there’s a serious point of concern: the footer of the official website reveals the business name “Ristorante da Rino,” and Ristorante da Rino, a traditional Tuscan restaurant-pizzeria opened in 1965 with a wheat-based kitchen, is still operating right next door, run by the same family. We were unable to confirm a strict separation of premises and equipment, despite the “dedicated” label used by specialized directories. We’re therefore downgrading the classification and flagging a risk of cross-contamination and airborne flour.

Grom, 15 Borgo Stretto, is the brand’s first shop in Pisa. Its range of ice creams, cones, crêpes and drinks is certified gluten-free by AIC, with ingredients and processes verified by the association, and celiac customers report a trouble-free experience. We’re still classing it cautiously as a gluten-free menu rather than a dedicated kitchen: the certification covers the range, not the entire premises.

Our tips on site

  • Say “Sono celiaco” or “Sono celiaca” rather than “senza glutine.” That’s the word that triggers real precautions in Italy.
  • Look for the AIC mark. The Associazione Italiana Celiachia certifies two addresses here, Grano Libero and Grom’s ice cream range. It’s the country’s most reliable marker.
  • The center is walkable. Grano Libero (Via dei Mille), L’Altra Spiga (Via Santa Maria) and Grom (Borgo Stretto) are all three in the historic center; Mai Grano and ER Pasticceria are further out.
  • Moving on elsewhere in Italy? Our guide to gluten-free travel in Italy covers the rest of the country, and the AFDIAG, AIC and FACE certifications explain what each label really guarantees.
