We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Maggiano’s Little Italy! The food was outstanding, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. Their gluten-free pasta was a fantastic option, and the children’s menu made it a hit for the whole family. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel special. Free valet parking was a convenient touch, especially for a celebratory evening. This is the perfect spot for any special occasion, with a warm atmosphere and delicious Italian dishes. Highly recommend!
We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in
We had the very first issue ever today. I ordered what we have eaten many times, pancakes (gluten free), bacon and hash browns and my husband gets an omelet meal. We eat here 1-2 times a week. But I will never go back. We called in because the pancakes we got today had a weird sweet after taste possibly too much vanilla. Whatever it was we called in and talked with a manager named Molly. Molly was combative saying she just tried the pancakes and no one else has complained. I have never been treated so poorly by a manager especially if I have a legitimate issue. Her only option was to come back immediately to have them remake. I didn’t have time and said so, she said that was all she could do. She made it clear she didn’t believe me either. She also said she didn’t mind us never coming back. If their customer service is like this I will never go back. Which is sad because this was our favorite restaurant. Molly you tried to make me feel small and instead you just lost a customer for life!
I had a very friendly and knowledgeable server. They were familiar with what was needed and did everything to ensure my safety. Food came out of quick and I enjoyed the yummy corned beef hash. I didn’t have any reactions after eating here. I’d recommend this snooze location to fellow celiacs.
IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.
this place was SO accommodating to our bachelorette, and the food was amazing (the girls said it was the best pasta they've had all year!).
Their team added a table so our group could dine outside, and even moved us so we wouldn't have to leave early or after the designated 2 hour window. I worked with the hostess to have champagne at the table when we arrived.
For food allergies... I have celiac, and the server and hostesses were super clear and supportive of my dietary needs.
Our server Shaun, was FAB! Really lovely and even brought us complimentary shots to celebrate the bride! Really a great experience all around. So thankful for their team!
They catered a rehearsal dinner for us that had some attendees with Celiac. The food was delicious and they were fantastic about understanding food allergies and adapting so everyone was able to feel treated!
HIGHLY recommend this location if you are looking to host a special event! The staff is incredible — friendly, knowledgeable and so attentive. Plus, the food and wine options are incredible. I also appreciate their vast gluten free menu options!
I’ve come here a handful times as a local student. I absolutely love it and always jump at the opportunity of sharing it with my friends or family when in town. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is so warm and efficient! My best friend has celiac and the couple of times we’ve gone together, they’ve provided really special care for her safety. The location itself has the perfect brunch atmosphere that’s tucked away and the local/ small-town lunch atmosphere that’s near Old Town Scottsdale.

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!
This place is the exact home vibe you want for breakfast! They have a gluten free and vegan menu as well. Not to mention their drinks are amazing. The flights are full sized and will leave you wanting to come again!
This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!
The smoothie bowls here are my favorite lunch!!!! I am gluten free and vegan and they have quite a few options! As a massage therapist I have to be mindful of what I eat for lunch and these are perfect! No tummy sounds in the treatment room 🤣 The people here are alway so friendly and kind! 100% recommend
I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods.
After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one.
We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.)
Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens.
She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill.
Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.
Nautical Bowls in Scottsdale serves the best acai bowls in town! The Nauti Bowl (acai + pitaya, peanut butter, bananas, granola & cacao nibs) packs flavor and nutrition, perfect for a post-workout refuel or refreshing snack. I also love the Paddle Bowl with blue majik, mango, coconut, strawberries, honey & granola, feels like a mini-vacation in every spoonful. Everything’s organic, plant-based, gluten- and dairy-free, ideal if you're eating clean. The shop is clean, bright, and has a laid-back surf vibe; staff are friendly and helpful, even letting me customize my bowl. Whether you're craving a nutrient-packed smoothie bowl or a light, flavorful meal, this is the spot. Highly recommend for healthy eats in Scottsdale!
Noah was amazing! It was a busy Friday night and he was so prompt and so nice. The bruschetta board was amazing as well as the cocktails. Would recommend sitting in his section. I have dairy and gluten allergies and made sure my food was safe and gave me yummy substitutions.
Edited 8.14: Apparently the dining experience here is entirely dependent on wait staff. Unfortunately after many positive experiences, this evening was an abysmal disaster. Our appetizer was sent to the table wrong, they scraped off the ingediedients that were to be left off and delivered it as though it were fresh. Numerous remnants of the old ingredients remained. Our meals, at 4pm, in a nearly empty restaurant, took an hour and were prepared differently than ordered, in style, ingredients and temperature. The on duty manager was less than sympathetic at both issues and we were made to feel as though this were our problem. We'll need to find a new favorite spot.
We're repeat diners at this upscale neighborhood kitchen and bar. We usually order the filet mignon and salmon, which are reliably cooked to perfection. The meatloaf and tavern salad are also favorites. Vegetables are always fresh. Godiva chocolate torte is decadent. For those who need gluten free there are plenty of options. The outdoor patio at the bar is a best bet if you can't secure the reservation you need. Friendly staff. Love this place.
Such a fun find! Breakfast was delicious and they had REAL gluten free options. It was also very reasonably priced and the staff was fun and quick even on a busy Sunday morning.
Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.
They have gluten free options! I got french toast (and didn't get cross contaminated) and sampled the coffee flight. It was all delicious and we were in and out quickly.
Happy to find a spot with a few vegan options for breakfast. We enjoyed the crispy polenta tacos, tempeh breakfast bowl, and a modified avocado toast (subbed sourdough for the egg bread, subbed tempeh for the bacon/egg, and added sliced tomato)
A few vegan side options as well, like the crispy polenta, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, beans and rice.
Not the *most delicious* food we’ve ever had but we were so glad to go somewhere with real vegan options and something for the whole family (including kids, gluten free, and vegans)
This place was so good we ordered from here 4 times while on vacation. Incredibly grateful they had amazing gluten free options. I think Naperville, IL would be a great spot to open a location… ;)
Great place. The menu is a bit small, limited for someone in my group who is lactose and gluten free, however, very good food otherwise. The black truffle mushroom pizza is glorious and I would not have tried it unless our server, Eleazar, had not recommended it. He is a great server and very professional! Also, the Two to Mango is AMAZING.

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.
I have supported Pitch since the day they opened, and I will no longer be doing so. I had a reservation for Saturday night, was seated with my party, and then had to get up 20 minutes later to ask the hostess if we had a server. Another server was approached by the hostess, and he appeared to be reluctant to take our table. He came over to get us drinks while they figured out the server issue, but then stated he would take our table for the night.
When ordering our meal, he asked if 2 people in our party wanted the kitchen to split their meal or if they would do it at the table. HOWEVER, he did not mention there would be a $4 upcharge for the kitchen to do so. Then, he told our table to think about dessert because he was going to buy dessert for us given the snafoo. He then clarified that the restaurant would actually be comping the dessert. So when dessert time came, he brought everyone at the table their own dessert menu to order. He took the orders without saying a word. Upon presenting the bill, he then asked if we all ordered dessert because of what he said, to which we replied in the affirmative. He then stated that he could only comp 1 dessert, which left the other people in the party to each pay $11 for a dessert that they each did not even really want but did not want to be rude or disrespectful by declining his original offer. Too boot, there was also a surcharge for using a credit card for payment, which he also failed to relay to our table.
My experience with Pitch has been that they charge for every little thing, including a $0.50 salad dressing order change! It's absolutely ridiculous and now getting out of hand. The customer is never told or asked about these additional charges, and over the years, they have just seemed to pile up!
Additionally, the quality of the food has significantly declined. The last time I ordered a take out pizza, I had to drive all the way back because it was paper thin, burnt, and hard. The staff suspected they made the pizza with a gluten-free crust instead of the regular crust. The staff also seems to be an issue. It's like a revolving door with new staff with no prior experience. When we were seated, we asked the bus boy for lemons for our water. He proceeded to carry the lemons in his bare hands and then squeeze them into the glasses with his bare hands. Completely unsanitary!
Needless to say, Pitch has lost at least 4 loyal customers who reside around the corner. And there will be many more to come once the word gets out in the community.
The Herb Box was great. Tons of outdoor space for kiddos to run around. They have great gluten free options including multiple desserts (Cakes!!!). The food was good and had a strong healthy component to the menu.
I enjoyed the fact that this cafe had gluten free crepe options! It's hard to find, and so it made everything all the better. Lovely staff, super clean and vibrant atmosphere. Would come back.
Love this place. So many options including, gluten free and keto. Service is top notch. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Coffee is delicious. They also sell t-shirts and craft items. Definitely recommend
Went here on Christmas Eve for dinner and had a great meal. We had the pollo street tacos and the kale salad with salmon.
I was impressed by the level of attention the staff gave to my dining partner’s gluten sensitivity as they made a special version of salsa that was gluten free as their regular salsa has soy sauce. They also brought grilled tortillas for her to enjoy the guacamole as their regular salsa tortilla chips could be exposed to gluten in the fryer.
We had a minor issue with how the salmon was prepared and the executive chef took over to remake it himself.
I would definitely return for another meal on my next visit. There were a few items I wanted to try that I was just too full to add to the table.
Our department recently hosted a staff retreat lunch at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish! Coordinating for a group of 20+ people can be challenging, but the staff handled everything seamlessly.
The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that everyone in our group felt taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations, especially given our variety of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian). It’s not always easy to accommodate such diverse preferences, but Fate Brewing did it with ease and flair.
The mocktails were another highlight—they were creative, refreshing, and a perfect complement to the meal. Our team left feeling satisfied, impressed, and grateful for such a great experience. Thank you, Fate Brewing Company, for making our lunch a memorable part of our retreat! Highly recommend this place for group events or just a great meal.
