Verona, Italy

[NJKen]

During a recent vacation in northern Italy during which my wife and I stayed mostly in vacation apartments, we spent the last 3 nights in Verona.  We were able to buy a few gluten-free items in the Spar market in the old town (a couple of blocks west of Piazza Bra' and the Arena) and in the PAM market, a block or so south of the old city wall.  On our last afternoon, though, we found the mother lode of gluten-free food--Farmacia Internazionale, located at Piazza Bra' 28, telephone 045/59.61.39.  The pharmacy is just inside the main entrance through the wall to the piazza, on the left as you are heading north with the Arena ahead of you.  There are some gluten-free items displayed in the front window, and then as you enter the small room you will not find anything gluten-free.  Get onto the elevator, go up one floor, and you will enter a room filled with food items--a few are for diabetics, but the great majority is gluten-free food from various brands.  I highly recommend that you visit this if you are planning to cook your own food, or just want a variety of cookies and crackers, while you are staying in Verona.

 

We did not attempt to eat out in Verona, so I cannot comment on the restaurants.
