Turin’s centre is flat, laid out on a grid and lined with arcades, and most of the sights are inside it: the Musei Reali put the walk from Porta Nuova station to Piazza Castello at about 20 minutes, up Via Roma through Piazza San Carlo. Two of the six entirely gluten-free places on this page are in the Quadrilatero Romano, the old Roman grid by the Porta Palazzo market: Wi.De Quadrilatero on Via delle Orfane and Ritual on Piazza Emanuele Filiberto. A third, Ris8Guru’s risotto counter, is off Piazza Solferino. Two mixed places sit close to the sights: Grom by Piazza Carignano, on the same street as the Egyptian Museum, and Kipling’s under the porticoes by Piazza Bodoni. Sweet Lab and Nonna Cleme are side by side on Via Principe Amedeo near Piazza Vittorio, about 5 minutes on foot from the Mole by our estimate, and San Salvario, south of Porta Nuova, has Past-à-Porter, Locanda TerraMare and, on the edge of the Valentino park, Flegrea. The other three entirely gluten-free places are out in the residential districts: Punto G on the Crocetta–Santa Rita edge, Cammafà ZERO on Piazza Galimberti, south of the centre, and Gelateria Gonetti on Via Candido Viberti; the last two are a short tram ride from the centre. Ionela’s Bakery is on Via Giotto, and NaturaSì across the Po on Corso Moncalieri.
A day that works (not a Tuesday, when the Mole is closed, or a Sunday, when there is no market): start early at the Porta Palazzo market, open from 7:00, for the look of it, since its bakery and street-food stalls are wheat. Ritual, the entirely gluten-free Brazilian grill, is about 5 minutes away on foot, by our estimate: keep it for tonight. Walk through the Quadrilatero to Piazza Castello and on to the Museo Egizio for the time slot you booked. Grom, a mixed counter, is on the same street: a cup of gianduia, and ask which flavours are marked gluten-free. Lunch is a risotto at Ris8Guru, off Piazza Solferino, about 10 minutes on foot by our estimate: an entirely gluten-free risotto counter. In the afternoon, take the panoramic lift up the Mole (book the slot), then walk down the porticoes of Via Po to Piazza Vittorio and the river. Back in the Quadrilatero, about 30 minutes on foot by our estimate, have the aperitivo at Wi.De Quadrilatero, an entirely gluten-free kitchen and cocktail bar, and stay for dinner or cross to Ritual. On another day, go south: lunch at Punto G, an entirely gluten-free gastronomia, then the Pinacoteca Agnelli and the Pista 500 on the Lingotto roof (closed on Mondays), and pizza at Cammafà ZERO, an entirely gluten-free Neapolitan pizzeria about 10 minutes on foot from the Lingotto by our estimate. Every gluten-free pizza in Turin whose own site we have read, on one page: gluten-free pizza in Turin: 7 places, 3 dedicated. It has no website, so confirm the address before you set out, as its card says.
Across Italy, many places belong to the coeliac association’s eating-out programme, Alimentazione Fuori Casa (AFC). AIC calls them «informati», informed: staff trained on coeliac disease, AIC’s rules for preparing gluten-free food, a signed agreement, and an in-depth visit from AIC at least once a year. It is not a certificate, and joining is voluntary: plenty of kitchens serve gluten-free food outside it. In Piedmont, AIC Piemonte, based in Turin, brings restaurants into the programme and trains them; the rules are AIC’s national ones. AIC keeps its list of member places for its members, but if you are visiting from abroad you can buy AIC Mobile Welcome, a 15-day version inside the AIC Mobile app, also in English; only the places marked with AFC logos on AIC’s map are members. On this page, Locanda TerraMare says it belongs to the programme. AIC advises booking ahead so the kitchen can get ready. When you book, and again when you order, say you have coeliac disease: «Sono celiaco», or «Sono celiaca».
Piedmont’s own table helps and sets traps. Rice, maize polenta and hazelnuts are the regional larder, and risotto, polenta and bagna càuda (the anchovy-and-garlic dip with raw vegetables) are naturally gluten-free dishes; still ask how the kitchen makes them. But the grissino on every table is wheat, and so are agnolotti and tajarin, the Piedmontese pastas. Chocolate is the city’s craft: a gianduiotto is naturally gluten-free, but a chocolate shop is a mixed room, so check that a praline or a spread has no biscuit or wheat filling, and take your bicerin without the biscuit on the side. The aperitivo, Turin’s own invention, is the ritual coeliacs usually sit out; at Wi.De Quadrilatero you order the spritz and the small plates like everyone else. At a mixed gelato counter, keep to a cup; at Gelateria Gonetti the whole counter is gluten-free, cones included, in its own words.
