Trattoria Osteria Buca Manzoni

The tagliatelle al ragu was so good. it is difficult to find a restaurant that serves gf pasta next to penne and spaghetti. I had the special tuna and cheese salad a day to lunch. at 10 euro it was a stealing the cheese alone was worth a lot more. it was delicious with some of the vegetables plastered and all kinds of salat.

Delicious, had the ragu with tagliatelle and it was beautiful!

I’ll preface this with the fact that the restaurant was swamped and only 2 wait staff to service everyone. Menu was marked with allergens and there was a decent variety of options for GF. We ordered a plate of meat and local cheese. It was labeled for 2 people but it could’ve fed an army. The table got bread, and I got a bag of gf crostini (not great for eating with cheese and sliced meats). The first course was bolognese tagliatelle and it was delicious. I was full for the second course (I ordered the beef). It was a beautiful piece of steak but it was severely undercooked (mostly tartare). I would’ve sent it back but wait staff never made it back to the table to ask (they were understaffed and a serving a large group). The staff did their best, were attentive, and knowledgeable. Food was good and the place has a lot of character.

We seated outside around 8 pm. We waited for about 10 minutes when a waiter arrived, he was so weird, like he does not want to serve us. My girlfriend ate a gluten-free bolognese pasta. Next day she felt sick, and she vomited the pasta. Do not eat there!

Great place for dinner. Almost all pastas can be made gluten free. Gluten free grissini provided with Mortadella platter. Servers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of locals which is always a good sign.
