Eating gluten-free in Tuscany

Remember, always inform the restaurant about your special dietary needs. Not all Cecina, Castagnaccio or corn flour soup are good for you. They must be prepared only with certified gluten-free flours (or using gluten-free stock cubes) being careful not to contaminate anything while cooking. Actually, today it is possible to prepare all kinds of dishes from pasta to pappa al pomodoro using suitable flours.
