Eating gluten-free in Turin, without the worry

A practical guide for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance who wants to go out for dinner, have a pizza or an ice cream in Turin knowing where to go and what to ask.

We list places with a declared gluten-free (senza glutine) offering, many of them part of the AFC programme (Alimentazione Fuori Casa, ‘eating out’) run by AIC, the Italian Coeliac Association, with addresses and sources checked one by one. The rest is up to you: a phone call to the place before you go, and the right questions when you order.

Highlights

Pizza, bread and gelato are the three things people who find out they have coeliac disease are most reluctant to give up. In Turin there is no need to: our list includes pizzerias with gluten-free dough, bakeries that make nothing but gluten-free products and gelato shops where even the cones are suitable.

Scroll through the photos to go to the category you are interested in, or start from one of the three places we have picked for you, one per category. The photos are mood shots: they do not show products from the places listed.

Three words to know

Three words you will come across all over the site, with the figures that help to make sense of them. They are official data, reported exactly as the sources listed publish them.

If you want to know more, the guide has a fuller glossary and the steps to follow when you eat out.

Coeliac disease (celiachia): A permanent inflammation of the lining of the duodenum, caused by gluten in genetically predisposed people. The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. As of 31 December 2024 there were 279,512 people with coeliac disease in Italy, 19,123 of them in Piedmont.
Gluten (glutine): The protein fraction of wheat, barley and rye. A food is ‘gluten-free’ when it contains less than 20 ppm, that is, less than 20 milligrams per kilo: it does not mean zero, but an amount considered safe for people with coeliac disease.
Cross-contamination (contaminazione crociata): The accidental addition of small amounts of gluten, for example from surfaces and utensils, or from cooking water or frying oil that has already been used. This is why in Piedmont the pizzerias in the AFC programme must have two ovens and two sets of topping trays.
