I recently heard from a couple; one of whom is both coeliac and vegetarian aswell. They wanted to let me know about the visit they recently made to Tuscany, a holiday organised by Italian specialists "Gillis Holidays". They told me about the wonderful Villa La Grotta and the excellent service they received from Gilli herself with regards to the many local restaurants that cater for gluten free diets. For them it sounds like a gluten free heaven:
"We tried 3 eating places near the villa. Miva di piu in Arezzo, my husband said it was the best pizza he’d eaten for years!(GF)
Il Borro which I can only describe as memorable, particularly for me. We ate there twice .Lo Strettoio, also visited twice. Had a real job finding it but well worth the effort. First time was on Sunday so REALLY busy, the second time was much quieter but can imagine that its different in high summer. On our second visit they remembered us and that my husband was GF and made quite a fuss about him not eating certain things on the dessert menu! but brought him a selection of wonderful goodies (and dessert wine for us both) My food there was delicious too, so we were both happy!
Interestingly in all 3 places my husband was offered GF beer without prompting."
