GLUTEENITONTA OSA 3 / GLUTEN FREE PART 3

Tänään tarjolla on kaksi gluteenitonta vinkkiä Toscanaan Italiaan. Ensimmäinen on mainio ravintola La Scaletta (Via Pietrasantina 107, Pisa), josta saa gluteenitonta pitsaa ja tarjolla on kokonainen gluteeniton ruokalista. Ravintola on vähän sivussa Pisan keskustasta ja se avataan iltaisin vasta 19.30. Siellä ei juurikaan näkynyt turisteja, mutta paljon paikallisia vakituisia asiakkaita. Kukaan ravintolassa ei oikeastaan osannut englantia, mutta gluteeniton ruokalista teki valinnasta helpomman. Pitsa oli maukasta ja oli ihana ruokailla kun sai valita omalta listalta mitä halusi. Kannattaa käydä!

Toinen vinkki on taas Certaldon pikkukaupungissa, Firenzen ja Sienan välissä. Certaldo Altosta löytyy Taverna L'Antica Fonte (www.tavernaanticafonte.it/) ja sieltä on aivan ihastuttava näkymä San Gimignanon tornikaupunkiin sekä gluteenitonta pastaa ja muitakin gluteenittomia ruoka-annoksia. Tätä suosittelen ehdottomasti!

IN ENGLISH:
Today I have two gluten free tips to Tuscany in Italy. The first one is an excellent restuarant in Pisa called La Scaletta (Via Pietrasantina 107, Pisa). The restaurant has a separate gluten free menu with gluten free pizza and other gluten free dishes as well as desserts. The restaurant is not quite in the centre of the town but it is still a reasonable walk away from the Leaning Tower. In the evenings the restaurant opens at 7.30 pm. I visited the restaurant a few times and there were no other tourists around, only locals from the area. The menu was in Italian but because they had a separate gluten free menu it was very easy to order gluten free options. The pizzas were very tasty and the desserts lovely. Well worth a visit!

The other tip is in Certaldo which is along the railway from Florence to Siena. In Certaldo Alto you will find Taverna L'Antica Fonte (www.tavernaanticafonte.it/). The restaurant has beautiful views to the nearby town of San Gimignano as well as gluten free pasta and other gluten free dishes. The pasta was most definitely the best I have ever had. So I am happy to recommend Taverna L'Antica Fonte.
