This place is a great spot for gluten-free food. I usually try to limit my gluten intake, but I make an exception when I'm on vacation. The reason I wanted to try this place was because I was craving lasagna, and the reviews had it as the best. The lasagna was decent, but I felt it could have had bit more seasoning for my taste. My husband ordered the carbonara pasta, which was really good. My favorite dish was the tiramisu, which was delicious! The restaurant has a lovely ambiance with pretty paintings and chandeliers. The service was also excellent. Our server was attentive and checked on us frequently. However, the food did take a bit to arrive, which I think could be improved. As I mentioned, it's a great place for gluten-free diners, but if you're not, you might find a better option elsewhere. read more

Mama Eat - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rome, RM

Visiting from San Francisco and stumbled upon Mama Eat--what a gem! This place absolutely blew me away. The food was rich, authentic, and bursting with flavor. I had the gluten-free carbonara and it was hands-down one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had (and that's saying a lot coming from the Bay Area foodie scene!). The service was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. You can really tell they care about the quality and experience. Bonus points for a great wine selection and cozy atmosphere. If you're in Rome, do not miss this spot--especially if you're gluten-free or traveling with dietary restrictions. Mama Eat nails it! Can't wait to come back. read more

One of the best pizzas I ever had. They have much gluten free. Staff is excellent and ambiance friendly. Definitely recycles

During my May 2024 trip to Rome, I just HAD to visit Mama Eat. I had a great experience at their Milan location, the last time I was in Italy. Mama Eat as a whole has a couple of restaurants, alongside their two in Rome, they have locations in Napoli, Firenze and Milano. This is one of their two locations in the city, on Borgo Pio. It's located just over a kilometre from the Vatican, so could be a spot for lunch when visiting the world's smallest country. This particular location is fairly small and the inside only had a couple of tables, It wasn't overly busy, although I didn't visit at a mealtime and just fancied a late lunch. The whole menu can be made gluten-free upon request (In a 100% gluten-free kitchen area - a coeliac's dream) and the menu was extensive too, going beyond just pizza and pasta. On this occasion, I opted for the gluten-free Margherita pizza, simple yet delicious, which made me love the Mama Eat brand on my trip to Milan, my guest went for the gluten-free Caesar salad. The staff member who served me seemed friendly, she did not speak English but she tried her best to communicate with me using a Google Translate app. She still tried her best to deliver the best service possible despite the language barrier as I also do not speak Italian (yet!) My pizza was really good, and probably the best I had during my trip to Rome. The base and toppings were fresh and tasty. I also tried some of my guest's salad, again it was fresh and I've never seen gluten-free croutons like it, they weren't just edible, they tasted good! We also ordered some fries for our table, but our server ended up forgetting to put them through, we didn't end up getting charged for them - again this was likely down to the language barrier and she must have prioritised the main courses which is fine. The prices were also great value too, sure this place is a little out of the way, especially if heading from the Colosseum / Trevi Fountain but it's sure worth the trip to not only save some money but get a great meal in a place that certainly isn't a tourist trap. I do think the size of the restaurant is a little limiting as it would be very difficult to get a table at peak times, but the food is good, the staff are kind and the gluten-free choices are exciting. 4* read more

Mama Eat - GF Margherita - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rome, RM

We absolutely LOVED this place. Of every place we have ever been in our travels, we have never had a menu completely gluten and lactose free. We ate here 4 times in the 2.5 days we were there! Some of the things we ordered included: Arancini appetizer balls, the fried pizza dough, the fried mini pizzas, the Arancino log stuffed with ragu, the croquette log (all appetizers). For main courses, we ordered the carbonara (which was to DIE FOR!) and we ordered pizzas (the diavola add sausage). I finally had the amazing gluten free pizza that I've been waiting for while in Italy. For dessert, we had the fried mini donuts with lactose free Nutella and we had the tiramisu and pistachio cream tiramisu. The tiramisu was AMAZING! My husband (who eats dairy) said this tiramisu was better than regular ones he's had. This place is for EVERYONE. For the celiacs and gluten free people, it's a diamond. read more

Excellent food and a great taste of Italy! We enjoyed the Tricolore pizza along with the two appetizers.

I ate at Mama Eat in Milan and it was the best pizza i have ever had. In Rome for the day i just had to try their pizza again... wow simply the best, my colleague who is not celiac said she wouldn't have known it was gf. Good news this specific location is 100 % gf so zero risk of contamination. I was also tempted by their pistachio tiramisu to go as i was full, not only is it gf but dairy free and it is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!!! read more

I recommend this business simply because it is the only GF restaurant around here. I was very grateful to be able to eat pasta in Rome. It's like a cafeteria. Not fancy but that's okay. The guy that sat us gave us two menus, all of which can be made GF or not. He wrote our table # on our order sheet which we had to bring up to the register, order and pay. When our food was ready, even though there were a minimum of SIX guys standing around, one of them came to our table to tell us our food was ready which we had to go get. Then I ordered a piece of cake. It was delicious. They warmed it up and again, came to our table to say our cake was ready so we had to go pick it up. It would have taken the same energy for that guy to just bring us our cake. I got the cake and counted SIX guys standing around the cash register. The food was good but the service was terrible. read more

Rome has been so good to me in terms of accommodating my allergy. This is the 3rd dedicated gluten free eater I've been to in the week I've been here. The food is amazing. The mini pizza starters was great. Makes me wonder what their pizza is like. The pasta dish I wasn't too much of a fan it was too salty for me. Despite that I would definitely come back. The gluten free beer I need to go home with. This beer took me back pre-celiac days when I studied abroad in Belgium it hit me like a ton of breaks. It was good. I can't remember what beer exactly but wow the way your taste buds can break a memory from so long ago is astonishing. As I'm typing this not sure I'll make it for dessert but we shall see. read more

Delicious and everything is made gluten free. I thought you had to specify when ordering, but everything is made gluten free. I enjoyed the fried rice balls and carbonara. Delicious, I saved the extras and they kept well! Service was great and fast! Casual ambiance, but could make a classy date night. read more

Searched out this place based on the gluten free menu. We arrived and no one was in the place on a Sat evening about 7:30. Perhaps a little early for Italians. The waiter greeted us and waived us in. We found he was from Kenya... where my daughter and son in law currently live. They chatted in Kiswahili. We ordered. Dinner arrived quickly. We had two gluten free dinners, two regular dinners. All were delicious! We ordered a dessert... and found an error when they brought it. They had topped it with Salt rather than sugar. We ate it anyway. We told the waiter and they made us a new one to take home. Great service! We have 1 more day in Rome... I see another meal in my future at your cute little restaurant!! read more

HANDS DOWN BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA ON THE PLANET!!!!!! Might be best pizza on the planet even if you eat gluten! It was so good I almost cried and for the first time ever I'm writing this review while still in the restaurant. The crust is absolutely wonderful....chewy soft delicious goodness that has escaped me since having to eat gluten free. I actually ate a chewy delicious crust rather than thin crunchy so so crust. I am so sad to leave Italy and not be able to eat this again. I will have dreams of this pizza! In the meantime for gluten free folks...this pizza is 100 out of 10, and I can't recommend it more highly. My husband who is not gluten free said it was the best pizza he had ever had as well. Pretty high compliment for a gluten eater! Also they have 4 options for gluten free beer and are more than willing to accommodate dietary restrictions, just ask. It's so important to them it's listed on the menu. Thank you Mama Eat for the best gluten free pizza, I know it will never be topped and just so glad I got to enjoy!!! read more

We ate here because it was supposed to have dairy and egg free options for our boys. Man was the food unappetizing. I got the carbonara and it was soupy and almost more Alfredo than carbonara. My wife got fruit of the sea pasta and the shrimp still had shells and she stopped eating. We just wanted to get out of there. The service was also nonexistent. Sad considering we got a good review from neighbors of ours. read more

This place is a dream for gluten-free, lactose-free eaters who want to enjoy Italian food, especially pizza and pasta. The risotto was spectacular and amazingly cheesy with their lactose free cheese. The donuts were fabulous and they even have hazelnut sauce that's not made with milk like Nutella. Definitely will be going back before I leave. read more

Gluttony at its best. This is a tiny hole in the wall haven for non-gluten eaters. We ordered pizzas, fries, chicken fingers and arroncini. Everything delicious - ridiculously so. It is really hot in the store and it isn't fine dining. But if you are walking around Rome and craving a pizza - this is a must. All of their cheese is non-lactose - but that doesn't impact the taste. read more

As someone with Celiac studying abroad in Rome, Mama Eat has hands down the best gluten free food I've tried (and non-GF friends love it too!). I got the sausage, cheese and broccoli sandwich which was piping hot and delicious and also the donuts which they also bring you fresh and hot and they were to die for. We just had the ones with sugar, they didn't need Nutella or anything like that. My friend had the eggplant sandwich and said that was amazing too. read more

The French fries were decent. I had the fried mashed potatoes thing and it tasted weird. Donuts were just ok.

Very friendly service, lovely food options and best gluten free donuts I have ever tried!
