I think I love this family as much as I do their pizza. I was nervous about the claims of world's best GF pizza, but I think it actually might be. The rest of our party ordered the non GF pizza and raved about it too. Talk to Ciro, talk to his sons, learn about their family and business. They will make you feel like a million bucks! Gissuepe was our server twice and we loved the guy! read more

We booked through OpenTable because I never know where you need reservations or not. It's still outdoor seating and was very charming. We ordered and then were served fresh olives and focaccia with an incredible garlic sauce. I enjoyed a Bellini. For dinner we had gnocchi and fettuccini Alfredo. Everything was fabulous. We would happily go back. read more

The food was so disappointing. After reading all the great reviews, we were so excited to try this place after a long day of travel. Service was slower than most Italian places we have dined at so far. It took over 20 minutes to find someone to order water and wine. We ordered an appetizer that came out still frozen. The pasta with meat and onion sauce was extremely bland, as was the calzone. Some people seem to love it but I am not exactly sure why.... read more

Despite it appearing like a chain-restaurant, it was sooooo good! Service was top-notch, as well! So glad I followed the reviews and gave this place a shot! read more

Wow! This place is spectacular! If you are eating gluten free or not, it does not matter, you will have a fabulous meal! Everything on the menu can be made gluten free -- I had the gluten free Ravioli ( can't get that hardly anywhere in the USA) It was so good- sprinkled with a basalmic reduction that was just a tiny bit sweet, with a creamy sauce- superb! My husband got the Margarhita Pizza, ( not GF ) and he loved it. If you go- either make a reservation or get there early. We arrived at 6 PM, when it opened with no reservation, and it looked like every table was full within minutes! one of Cisco's sons was there, and he was very charming and made sure every guest felt welcomed and special! This place was a delight! read more

Amazing gluten-free options are available at Ciro & Sons. I ordered a gf margarita pizza and it was to die for. The staff was very considerate about my need for gf, ensuring that I had a safe and delicious meal. They have gluten-free beer on their drink list also, allowing me to have a fantastic time while dining. I had leftover pizza for breakfast and it was still just as delicious as it was when it was hot. This is an excellent place to eat while visiting Firenze. read more

this place was amazing! i had this place bookmarked for when we went to florence and was so excited to eat here for lunch. we were quickly seated outside on the patio which was nice so we could people watch while eating. i couldn't believe all the options i had for food and i had a really hard time deciding on what to order. we ended up getting the garlic bread, pizza, and lasagna (all gluten free). the food was so delicious and really flavorful! i wish we had stayed longer in florence so we could try other items off their menu, but oh well next time! service was excellent and food came out pretty quickly. everyone was so friendly and it was quite a pleasant dining experience! read more

I'm so disappointed, I loved this place after coming just a week before. I left a five star review for the great service on a busy Friday night and careful treatment of my gluten allergy. I visited Circo & Sons a week later on a Monday night and ordered one of the gluten free pizzas. After eating half of my pizza a waiter came out and asked me "Is that gluten free?" I said, "I hope so..." A few minutes later another waiter came and told me it wasn't gluten free!!! Anyone with an allergy knows how scary this is. They brought out another version of the pizza, this time supposedly gluten free. They told me "the other one was fine it just had garlic"........ which is naturally gluten free, so I assume it wasn't the truth. I've hesitated to write a bad review about my experience, because I had such a good experience the first time, but I don't want anyone else to be "glutined" like I was read more

Good southern Neapolitan cooking in Firenze and pizza is probably the best in town. Nice ambiance inside and you can sit outside as well if you get there early enough. We had several good courses that included several pasta dishes. But let's be serious as I was there for one thing--the pizza! At this point, the best pizza I've ever tasted in Italy is in Sicily--at Gallo D'Oro in Aspra and Pizzeria Sardasalata in Licata but this isn't Sicily and will do the job if you're in Florence and in desperate need of a fix. read more

On vacation with a group of 4 girls and one of our friends is vegan. We found Ciro & Sons and saw they had vegan cheese options and decided to give it a try. We had such an amazing experience, the service was lovely and the pizza was the best we've had in Italy so far. Highly recommend!!! read more

Beautiful restaurant and great staff. The place was extremely clean. My husband and I had a romantic evening with wine and the best lasagna of my life! I want to go back just thinking about it. read more

I waited over 2 hours for food last night, and only saw the server 2 times over the course of those hour. Server was also extremely rude and laughed at us when we questioned whether the food was contaminated or not. They sat my party of 3 at a 2 top where we could barely fit. The food was awful and not worth the wait. Mussels made me feel awful afterwords. Concerned that the food might have been contaminated with gluten. 0/10 would not recommend, avoid at all costs. read more

We LOVE this family run business- Beautiful venue- the food is second to none- From homemade pizza to florentine steak this is the a wonderful restaurant to go to in Firenze! Highly recommend! read more

I found this restaurant on a gluten free blog prior to arriving in Florence and knew I had to come here! Everything on the menu can be made gluten free! They brought complimentary gluten free crostini and I ordered an incredible gluten free pizza with buratta. They brought my pizza out first and said it was baked in a separate kitchen to ensure it was gluten free. Even my non-gf travel partners said this pizza set the bar for the rest of the trip! read more

Oooh and i wish they sold The pretty plate the pizza was on, i would so buy that as a souvenir from my favorite restaurant! Cannot wait to come back. Come to New York and Bring authentic Italian flavors to us! read more

Fist official meal on Italian soil. Ciro and Sons is a pizzeria that offers gluten free options. In all, three dishes were ordered. I'm fairly sure a yelp review is simply a summary of the food one eats. I consumed a mushroom risotto that was far superior to my own. I am disappointed only in my culinary skills, and my failure, in a frenzied state of hunger, to take a picture of the dish before in was half gone. I also tried gnocchi that was not the best I've had, but good nonetheless. This is by no fault of Ciro or his sons, but of yelp user Herr K. His gnocchi recommendation at a small restaurant in Venice by far trumps any other I've tried. I personally didn't try the gluten free vegetable pizza, but I hear it was good. I have yelped. read more

My family with a toddler ate dinner here for our first night. Fabulous service and delicious meal! Our waitstaff was friendly. We ordered the margherita pizza, bolognese, and caprese salad. Delicious spot to relax and eat outdoors with our toddler in Florence! read more

The best gluten free pizza we've ever had! The smoked meat was amazing as well. Super nice owners too

Whoa, why does this place have so many $$$$?! It's really not that expensive! This is a really lovely little restaurant that is easy walking distance from the Riccardi Medici Palace and relatively close to the Accademia Gallery (which are both must sees in Florence). Like most eateries here, they have a tiny little outdoor patio, but this one was extra lovely with cushioned seats, plenty of shade under the umbrellas, white linen tablecloths, and big gorgeous plates for all of your food. It felt extra fancy and breezy and quaint, even with the servers dressed in their Hawaiian shirts! Ciro & Sons has an incredible gluten free menu, which is the reason we sought it out. Seriously, they have a HUGE GF menu. Almost everything they offer can be prepared gluten free except for their ravioli and some artichoke pastry/pie thing. I felt like I didn't even have a dumb food allergy as I browsed through the menu and actually had to turn pages. It was pretty amazing and I didn't know where to begin. We decided to start with some classic bruschetta, gluten free bread topped with plenty of diced cherry tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. I do think there was a bit too much oil on the plate, but it was soooo good that it didn't matter. A high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil can't be beat, so you know I ate every bite. Next, I enthusiastically ordered the Lasagna Bolognese. I never get to order lasagne at a restaurant, so I was thrilled. It was like a big beautiful mess on my plate.... This did not look like a hard chiseled block of lasagne carved out of a casserole dish. No, it was a melty blob in the best way. Seriously hot and ridiculously cheesy with a ton of beautiful tomato sauce and fresh herbs. Again, the dish seemed to be a bit too oily overall, but it was still incredible and I happily cleaned my plate. So extremely delicious! Be aware that if you want to order gluten free pizza here at Ciro & Sons, you have to call ahead of time and make a reservation so they can prepare it. I didn't know this, so I was unable to order the pizza since we showed up without notice. I wasn't disappointed, however, because I was still able to peruse a comprehensive menu of beautiful and classic Italian cuisine, and enjoy some lovely bruschetta and lasagne... as everyone should in Florence! read more

Wow, this place is gluten free paradise! I had a gluten free beer and a giant pizza, which I promptly consumed in about 5 minutes. The entire pizza menu can be gluten free which is absolutely wonderful. I had the caprese with salami, mushrooms, artichokes--- delicioso!!! read more

Best (and biggest!) gluten free pizza I've ever had. The whole experience was fantastic. From the friendly staff and fast service, to the incredible food-- this is a must see if you're in Florence. With its location right near the Medici chapel, i suggest eating outside if you can because it's fun watching the locals zoom by on motorbikes! I ordered the "Pescatora" on gluten free crust. The thin, oven baked crust was soft but had the perfect amount of crunchiness. Easy to cut through with a fork and knife, but so full of flavor on its own! Because the crust was thin, it allowed the flavor of the toppings to really shine. The red sauce and cherry tomatoes were so fresh and tangy paired with the freshest seafood mix of octopus, squid and shrimp-- and let me tell you those shrimp MELTED in my mouth. My mom ordered the "Margherita" on gluten free crust and it looked amazing as well! We were full the rest of the day--talk about great value for your money! Highly recommend if you are celiac or gluten free! read more

Gluten free eaters simply must go here, this place is AMAZING! Half of my family has celiac and we have extensive experience with gluten free eating. This is quite possibly our best gluten free dining experience ever. The gluten free pizza was FANTASTIC. So was the regular; both were everything you would expect from an authentic Italian pizza, and the two crusts were indistinguishable. Which was astonishing, but true. Fantastic. We ended the meal with gluten free and regular tiramisu. Again, both were great. And the house lemincello was so good I want to have it every day for the rest of my life. It was that good. This was a great place for gluten eaters, but for those who are gluten free it is transcendent, and an absolute must for anyone with gluten problems. read more

Absolutely the best gluten free pizza in the world. They. An make it vegan, gluten free, whatever you want but omg it was so delicious I had dreams about when I went to bed. The servers are all professional yet very personable. Had a nice crowd of patrons, young and older, all well dressed and classy people. The GLUTEN FREE PIZZA IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD and this is coming from somebody who's from NY, and who recently traveled to Paris, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. So yes, for amazing gluten free food Ciro & Sons is incredible. Oh and the local Tuscany Chardonnay was out of this world. Haven't found a local bottle like it yet. read more

When I booked this trip to Italy, I knew the food would be amazing. But I never imagined I would stumble onto gluten free Italian treasures like this one. I never imagined that I would have out of this world pizza and bread and bruschetta and tiramisu...none of which was simply a suitable substitute for the real thing. It was incredible in its own right, and it just happened to be gluten free. Wow! read more

Ciro & Sons - Gluten free pizza...amazing!! - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Pros: Pizza was good! We got the Diavolo, which is a basic Margherita with spicy salami slices. Greek salad had fresh ingredients. Cons: 1. Place is packed with tourist (guilty as charged). They must've been short on staff the evening we went because I'm near certain they forgot about us. 2. Greek salad was not a greek salad, but rather a garden salad w dressing and six cubes of feta. (Note to self: do not order Greek in Italy). 3. Italian establishments all charge a "cuperto" which is a standard cover charge for service everywhere we've been in Italy. This place, however, has an additional 15% service charge on top of that (it's written someplace on the back page of the menu for you to find along with Waldo). We were told by a local that additional service charges are against regulation. We got our bill for what should have been 14€ of food, turned out to be 21€. Cuperto, I understand, but we werent even offered the bread basket, oil/olives. Wait staff were real curt in handling our questions about the charges. Enjoy responsibly! read more

I was craving gnocchi for months. Finally found a place that has VEGAN GNOCCHI, it was great. They had so many vegan options. I highly recommend going out of your way to stop by. Lots of meat and vegetarian options too as well. They even had vegan cheesecake. I'm going back to try it tomorrow night. read more

The best gluten free dining experience in all of Florence. I was studying here for 6 weeks and this is with out a doubt the best find I can across as a gluten free eater. They are so careful, have an enormous menu, and everything is absolutely fabulous. They give you two gf bread choices at the beginning of the meal which is so nice considering bread is a main food gluten free eaters miss out on in Italy! I got the prosciutto pizza with truffle and it was probably the best thing I ate in Italy. The staff was beyond friendly making it an overall amazing dinner! read more

To put it simply, I would not recommend Ciro and Sons. I'm giving them three stars because the food wasn't bad enough for less and their service was overall good. The fact is this restaurant is seriously over priced and the food is mediocre. It was the most expensive restaurant we visited in Italy and the worst food we had. We started by ordering the house wine which we had no issues with elsewhere in Italy and this typically cost us about $10-$14 euros. At ciro and sons they brought us a $25 bottle of Rufino. For an app we got the Caesar salad which was the best thing we had here and was actually really good. I got a chicken and asparagus Alfredo for my meal and it was very disappointing. The pasta was so over cooked I barely had to chew it and the sauce was watery and overall lacked flavor. My husband got a $45 steak which we thought was pretty good but didn't blow us away for the price. There are so many amazing restaurants in Florence, save your money and time and go elsewhere. read more

Ciro is soooo good. Can be pricey depending on what you get. I got the fettuccini Alfredo and it was really good, the pasta was so fresh. The environment is kinda confusing. It's fancy inside and casual outside, the wait staff is friendly but also gets rowdy and yells at you to take limoncello, and there is purple and pink club-like uplifting with Italian Baroque decor and chandeliers. I couldn't tell if the place was fancy or casual. Overall, it's convenient to where I live so I will be going back, but I would stick to the pizza. read more

Best gluten free bruschetta! Pizza and pasta were also very good. Anything on the menu can be ordered gluten free. Service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was very busy. Definitely would recommend making a reservation. read more

Just rating on service and the gluten free pizza it's a sure fire 5/5. If you are gluten free and like pizza but miss the best of pizza then this place will knock your socks off. The fewer the toppings the better as its all about the crust and sauce. Very, very good. read more

I love Pizza, in fact it is my favorite food. When I eat a lot of wheat I get a stomach ache and I feel pretty bad so I avoid it. We read the reviews and it looked really decent. My boyfriend and I came for lunch and both ordered gluten free options. I got the pizza with veggies and pepperoni and he got lasagne. We were completely mind blown. My boyfriend normally eats wheat, and even he thought it was one of the best pizzas he's ever had. I was almost sad when it was gone. Go here if you have an allergy or if you just want delicious food! read more

**EAT HERE** We had one night in Florence and wanted to get the restaurant right. We were very much impressed with the food and service here. We were seated outside on the sidewalk patio which is decorated with little lights and accentuated by the charm of the little city. The server immediately greeted us and brought olives and bread. They have a full bar as well as a great wine list. We ordered Vodka cocktails as we had already spent 4 days drinking wine in Rome. Drinks came out fast and were strong. We started with the Calamari. It was tender and not chewy. The batter was light and perfectly salted. I ordered the garlic, lobster spaghetti and my husband ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana. Both dishes were seasoned perfectly and the pasta was fresh made and al dente. The Eggplant is traditional without noodles. They have gluten free options too! The dishes were so good and light that we contemplated ordering another dish but decided to get gelato instead. read more

We loved Ciro and Sons so much we went back 3, maybe 4 times during our 5 days in Florence. And we don't tend to repeat restaurants.... I am gluten and dairy free, and I had so much to choose from! The best salad I had in all of Europe, delicious GF bread/flatbread/garlic bread, and pasta with vegan pesto YUM. No one else in my family is GF but everyone else enjoyed the good so much that THEY were the ones who suggested we return the 2nd and 3rd times. I'd read reviews about how their touristy or whatever, so I had planned to skip this restaurant. Fortunately we wound up here anyway because it was one of the culinary highlights. And they are so so friendly and lovely. We highly highly recommend them! read more

I could not rave enough about this restaurant! I was in Florence for 9 days and this is the only restaurant I went to more than once (other than gelato shops) because I loved it so much. First of all, if you think of American pizza when in Italian, you will not get that! I wouldn't even compare the two because they are two different foods. Anyways, this place is owned by a family from Naples (the home of Neapolitan pizza) and the sons work in the restaurant. The staff was incredible and friendly. Every time I went I got the Diavolo pizza which was tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil and spicy salami. If I could order this pizza all the way from Italy I would, it was delicious. I sat both inside and and outside and both settings were beautiful. Great location right next to the Medici chapel. Their tiramisu was also simple and delicious. Everything here is made with fresh, real ingredients and you can taste it. I can't wait to go back! read more
