About this restaurant

  • Gluten-free-friendly
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
We also make gluten-free pasta every day with a rolling pin and are certified with coeliac uk. In the heart of London, the City, Mattarello Bolognese will bring you the ultimate Italian cuisine experience.

We brought the Bologna's traditional cusine to Aldgate, with our signature fresh hand-made pasta.

We have installed a gluten-free kitchen to offer you the safety and taste you need, and import certified quality gluten free products as flours, pasta and hams directly from Italy.

Every day you can watch our "Sfoglino" making fresh pasta in front of you at our premises and soon you will have also the chance to learn all the secrets of fresh-pasta production from him with our exclusive courses that will start this year.

    My gluten-free friend was absolutely overjoyed by this restaurant. She hasn't been able to enjoy bread or pizza forever and she had the best time. The GF house puffy bread was lovely. The tiramisu was not so good, but overall a great dinner. Would come back.

    Absolutely amazing gluten free Italian food. The bread was pillowy and crispy. The pasta was perfectly al dente. First time having a tiramisu, gluten free, in years! Well worth the visit.

    I dined here for my birthday and had an amazing time. As someone with Coeliac disease, I was really happy that everything on the menu could be made gluten free, there is a seperate kitchen, and I appreciated that GF dishes were identified by a dot of balsamic on the plate to avoid any possible confusion! The staff and service was great, including the live singer on a Saturday who invited us up for a dance! Would definitely recommend.

    The rating system appears to have a design flaw in that it assumes every establishment deserves at least one star. This seems optimistic. My partner is coeliac, which is why we chose this restaurant. It offered gluten-free food, so we assumed it would be a sensible choice. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have considered that the food should also be edible. The kitchen produced several plates of what I can only describe as an argument against cooking. After a brief investigation with our forks, we decided hunger was preferable. The atmosphere was equally impressive. Music played at a volume more commonly associated with aircraft taking off, while seemingly every customer had been issued a tambourine. I suspect whoever arranged this has never experienced silence and is frightened of it. Conversation was impossible, although this may have been a deliberate attempt to prevent customers from discussing the food. The financial damage amounted to £100, an extraordinary achievement for an establishment that had successfully persuaded two hungry people to stop eating. There is, however, a business opportunity here. Rather than advertising itself as a restaurant, it could market the experience as relationship counselling. Bring someone you’ve been struggling to get rid of, order them dinner, hand them a tambourine, and the problem may resolve itself. I won’t be returning, although I’ve started making a list of people who might enjoy a gift voucher.

    We were greeted with friendly staff upon arrival for our reservation. I have celiac and they guided me through the incredible menu. Our wine was delicious to start. We ordered 2 starteres, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts (all gluten free) and I cannot explain how delicious they all were! As someone with celiac this meal was such a treat! The other 2 guests in our party do not have celiac and they enjoyed everything just as much as I did. We hope to be back in the future when visiting London!
