Gluten Free in Amalfi: Gran Caffè

Date
Apr, 10, 2019

For being such a small place, the town of Amalfi has a lot of eating places. I only went to one when I visited,  thus you may find many more places that have more and better gluten free options (but none that are 100% gluten free, though, except an ice cream shop). I enjoyed this restaurant due to the views and good wine, but I would not recommend it for a heavy lunch or dinner if you are Celiac.

Details of Establishment:

Name: Gran Caffè
Type
:  Restaurant
Location: Corso delle Repubbliche Marinare, 37/38, 84011 Amalfi, Itay
Tips: Great view on the terrace.

Gluten free or not gluten free observations:

Item(s) ordered: Tuna salad and melon with ham
GF observation: The menu is not allergen marked. You need to rely on the feedback from the staff. Not much on the menu to choose from as a Celiac, other than salad and starters.

Celiac safety: This is not a 100% gluten free establishment, thus you should always be careful in terms of cross contamination risks. This is a place that has paninis as majority of their menu. Make sure that the staff understands that you have Celiac disease.

Overall comment: It is a place with a lovely view. As a Celiac, I did not have enough to eat to feel content as the menu was not very gluten free. I would suggest this place if you simply want to have a drink and some snacks while enjoying the view. 

Disclaimer: The above is based on the personal experience and opinion of a Celiac traveler. For eating places, you should still inquire about the gluten free options and ingredients as recipes, kitchen routines, staff and management may have changed. Only places marked “100% Celiac safe” are confirmed free from cross contamination. This post is not sponsored.
