Gluten-free menu at the restaurant - eating gluten-free at Toscania
Since 1 July we've run a full gluten-free menu - not one "safe salad" added out of pity, but a complete menu you choose from with appetite. For people with coeliac disease and on a gluten-free diet, it's the difference between eating out with fear and eating with pleasure. We explain what the gluten-free menu at Toscania looks like: what it covers, how we ensure safety in the kitchen and why we eat gluten-free at parties too.
A full menu, not a token
Our gluten-free menu isn't a symbolic gesture but a full menu. Main courses, pizza on gluten-free dough and desserts - the gluten-free menu covers all categories of the offer. Flavour and plating are in the same league as the standard menu, because gluten-free doesn't mean worse. Guests on a diet choose with appetite, not out of necessity from a single available item. This approach changes the experience of eating out for people avoiding gluten - from a restriction into a full-fledged, pleasant choice from a rich, considered menu.
Safety in the kitchen
With a gluten-free diet, not only the composition of the dish matters but also the safety of preparation. Separate preparation zones and a trained team minimise the risk of cross-contamination, which is a real threat to people with coeliac disease. Just tell the staff about coeliac disease and we'll treat the matter with special attention, keeping to safety procedures. It's an issue not to be downplayed - for someone with coeliac disease, a trace amount of gluten is a health problem. That's why we treat the safety of gluten-free cooking as seriously as the flavour of the dishes.
Gluten-free at parties too
The gluten-free menu doesn't end with the everyday menu. We cater weddings, communions and company parties with gluten-free variants in every dish - guests on a diet eat the same menu as the rest, not a "substitute" served separately. That matters, because at a party no one should feel like a second-class guest. This also applies to the cake and sweet table, which we prepare gluten-free in our own patisserie. This way every guest, whatever their diet, can fully enjoy the party and its culinary setting.
Who the gluten-free menu is for
The gluten-free menu isn't only an answer to the needs of people with coeliac disease, though for them it's crucial. It's also used by people with gluten intolerance, on an elimination diet and those who, for various reasons, limit gluten. Thanks to the full menu, each of them can eat a full-value, tasty meal without compromises. It's also convenient for families and groups where only some people are on a diet - everyone can eat in one place. A full gluten-free menu means no one has to give up going to a restaurant.
How to order gluten-free
Ordering gluten-free at Toscania is simple: tell the staff about your diet or coeliac disease when ordering or at booking, and we'll advise the available dishes and ensure safe preparation. With coeliac disease it's worth stressing the need for special caution, so we keep to the right procedures. The more we know in advance, the better we can prepare - especially with larger groups and parties. Open communication with the staff is the best way to make the meal both tasty and completely safe for someone on a diet.
Gluten-free without compromise
Our approach to the gluten-free menu can be summed up in one sentence: no compromises. A full menu, a safe kitchen, variants at parties and desserts from our own patisserie mean that eating gluten-free at Toscania is a pleasure, not a restriction. People on a diet don't have to choose between safety and flavour or give up going out for lunch or taking part in a party. It's a standard we've consistently maintained since introducing the full gluten-free menu - because good cuisine should be available to every guest, whatever their diet.
