Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms across many visits. The venue displays AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) certification on its website and in customer reviews, though AIC is not in our recognised body list. Not a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen as regular gluten-containing dishes are also served.

Mister Pizza

Firenze · Pizza · Vegan · €

The pizzeria holds AIC certification from the Italian Celiac Association. It has a dedicated gluten-free pizza oven and a separate prep area, but it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu. Staff are reported as knowledgeable. Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms across many visits.

Mister Pizza

Firenze · Pizza · Vegan · €

Tier A: an accreditation by a recognised gluten-free / coeliac-safety body was claimed, but we could not verify the claim against the body's own published list. The body's directory page does not name this venue, and we have no other third-party evidence to corroborate the certification. Other signals on record: dedicated kitchen claimed; staff trained; allergen-marked menu. Treat as gluten-free / coeliac-aware rather than gluten-free / coeliac-certified until the venue can produce verifiable accreditation.

Ristorante Lorenzo de' Medici

Firenze · Pizza · Steak · €⁠€

Ristorante Lorenzo de' Medici is an AIC member with a dedicated gluten-free kitchen space, a dedicated fryer and pizza oven, and knowledgeable staff. The entire menu is available gluten-free and served on colour-coded orange plates. Cross-contamination risk exists because regular gluten dishes are also prepared in the same building.

Firenze · Pizza · €⁠€

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and the venue has a dedicated gluten-free preparation area and a dedicated wood-fired pizza oven. Staff are knowledgeable and trained in allergen safety.

Firenze · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The venue offers a gluten-free marked menu and a dedicated fryer (noted by one reviewer). A menu item (quiche) is explicitly marked 'senza glutine'. The venue self-disclaims as not a dedicated gluten-free facility, consistent with Tier C (marked + dedicated equipment).

Veg & Veg | Mercato Centrale Firenze

Firenze · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Veg & Veg is described as a vegetarian restaurant by its own website and multiple blog sources. The Eating Europe blog calls the venue "a popular veggie eatery," and Veggies Abroad lists it under "Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants in Florence." The venue's own site describes itself as "Vegano & Vegetariano" (Vegan & Vegetarian). Menu images show items such as "Burger Veg, Crema di Grana al Pepe," which contains Grana Padano cheese and is therefore vegetarian but not vegan, and "Burger Veg, Burrata," with burrata being a dairy product and also vegetarian. This confirms a vegetarian-focused menu with some vegan options. The venue does not appear on HappyCow's top 10 vegan restaurants list, but it is listed as a vegetarian-friendly option in the broader Florence guide.

La tenda rossa

Firenze · Italian · €⁠€

The menu includes several vegetarian dishes (Millefoglie di verdure, Gnudi, vegetable soups, salads, Margherita pizza, Vegetariana pizza), though items are not marked for vegetarian suitability. The kitchen is shared with meat and fish dishes, and while staff can accommodate on request, cross-contamination risk exists.

All'Antico Vinaio

Firenze · Fast food · Bakery · €

The menu features one explicitly marked VEGANA sandwich (hummus, sundried tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant). Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm this single vegan option but report cross-contamination from shared cutting boards and utensils. All production occurs in a single laboratory, per the venue itself, which cannot guarantee non-contamination. No dedicated vegan preparation area or equipment exists.

I' Girone De' Ghiotti

Firenze · Italian · €

The menu lists one explicitly labelled vegan option ('Francesca') on a digital menu that also includes a general allergen section. HappyCow reviews confirm a labelled vegan choice.

Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.
