The places on this page sit right beside the sights. Largo Argentina and Campo de’ Fiori are in the middle of it all, Monti is a few streets from the Colosseum, Trastevere is just over the river, and the Vatican side has its own pastry stop. Most of the centre is walkable: many of the sights below are 20 minutes or less from each other on foot, by our estimate.
A day that works: breakfast at Pandalì, an entirely gluten-free bakery two minutes from the Pantheon. Walk to Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori, where Voglia di Pizza makes every dish on its menu in a gluten-free version. Then a gelato beside the Trevi Fountain at Gelato in Trevi, where the counter is entirely gluten-free. See the Colosseum late in the afternoon, when the light is kinder, and have dinner in Monti at Pasta in Corso, whose Monti branch runs entirely gluten-free in its own words.
Many places here are part of the Italian coeliac association’s network. AIC calls them «informati», informed: staff trained on coeliac disease, AIC’s rules for preparing gluten-free food, a signed agreement, and a visit from AIC at least once a year. It is not a certificate, and AIC itself advises booking ahead so the kitchen can get ready. When you book, say you have coeliac disease.
Roman food is pasta, pizza and fried things, which is why the dedicated kitchens matter so much here. Supplì, fritti and pizza al taglio are the classic traps: wheat, and shared fryers. At the dedicated places on this page they become the treat rather than the risk. Book dinner in the neighbourhood you sleep in: kitchens fill from 19:30, and a late search is where mistakes happen.
