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.
