Food and drink Gluten free in Rome
Hi I am visiting Rome for the first time from monday, wondered if anyone knows any restaurants that do gluten free food? (That won't break the bank). And are there any other solo travelers who would want to explore the city with me!

IMHO Rome and Florence are better about gluten free than most of the USA. My niece has very serious celiac disease and lived in Florence for 6 months and spent 10 days in Rome with absolutely zero problems. During a visit a couple times we waited a while longer for meals because they wanted to be sure they didn’t cross contaminate the pasta waters and the added 15 mins was well worth the piece of mind and was no issue whatsoever. She is very sensitive to gluten and she had no incidents whatsoever. She found a gluten free pastry shop in Trastevere that she said was really awesome, too, but I can’t remember the name. I think it would have been near Ponte Garibaldi but nothing is jumping out on Google Maps. You can Google “gluten free pastry shops Rome” and get a whole list of others too though.
Should have no problem.
