Gluten-free Asian restaurants in Milan
Among the requests that you have made the most, especially in recent months, stands out that of an article on Asian restaurants in Milan that offer gluten-free dishes, suitable for those suffering from celiac disease.
Let's face it: finding such restaurants is already difficult in itself, then if you have to look for them only Asian it becomes even more complicated. Do not worry though, after a lot of research I managed to compose a list of excellent restaurants with gluten-free options suitable for every eventuality and budget.
I recommend: always mention your intolerances or allergies before ordering. In these places on the list the staff is always very attentive about contamination, so I would say that you can finally enjoy a nice meal without worries!

Here the choice is really wide, the whole menu is gluten-free: from tempura (in my opinion the best ever tried) to miso, up to gluten-free somen on request.
