Gluten Free Goodness

Michelle Crow

We were so pleased to see an entirely gluten free menu. Not only was the food tasty but the staff were amazing. Sophia and Delilah were so I sweet and kind and highly attentive. The ambiance was so charming and cozy. It felt like a small town cafe where you are always welcome and you are always greeted with a smile. We will return soon.

Everything is gluten-free, and the food was delicious! Will be back!

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

Kate Martinez

Great GF experience! Even got gluten free bread to the table as soon as I mentioned I had an allergy! Meghan L was a great waitress- 10/10 would recommend

Julia Green

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Gluten free fried chicken is incredible. Best I’ve ever had

Sheila Gross

Wonderful food with excellent service at the bar and at our table. Aware of gluten issues. All food was marked when it came to the table. 💗

True Food Kitchen was a refreshing and delicious surprise during our visit to Easton Town Center. In the middle of all the classic American comfort food spots, this place stands out as a healthy and flavorful alternative—and it doesn’t sacrifice taste one bit. The menu is packed with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, which is perfect for anyone with dietary preferences or restrictions. Even as someone who usually leans toward meat-heavy and indulgent meals, I was seriously impressed. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. It didn’t feel like “health food”—it just felt like great food. The atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to make recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and everything came out quickly and perfectly prepared. True Food Kitchen is a gem in Easton—whether you’re a dedicated healthy eater or just want to try something different that still hits the spot. I’ll definitely be back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a guilt-free but truly satisfying meal.

Is miraculous too strong a word? I’ve had a gluten allergy for a few years and gave up on finding a biscuit that is this freaking good. Perfect texture, so soft and lovely in the middle. I tried a few and the cinnamon is by far my favorite, basically a hybrid biscuit and cinnamon role. Delicious enough that’s it’s my non-GF boyfriend’s favorite biscuit too.

The options for Vegan and Gluten Free is amazing! First time here and we will definitely be back. So many more items on the menu to try. Get the Bang Bang sauce to substitute the sauce on the TownHall veggie burger if you are making it vegan. Worth a stop especially since they are attentive to your food requests for allergies.

I don't know if it's just me, or if it's because I'm blessed to live in Cleveland, but after visiting this bakery 2-3 times over the years, I feel like the bakery items just aren't very good. Cleveland Vegan in has Pattycake outdone by miles, Vegan Doughnut Company, also very good, there's several out of home vegan bakeries that have pop-up shops in Cleveland that are also splendid. The Sweets Geek in Willoughby even makes all of their products vegan and gluten free and allergen free are very tasty. Lastly, my favorite, Evexia Cafe in Aurora, where I purchased my vegan wedding cake was marvelously done. I hate to sound negative, but ultimately this is a negative review. Pattycake's bakes may have been good back in 2010 when there were not other options, but since then, the vegan world has expanded and I feel like Pattycake isn't meeting the mark.

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

My wife and I will be making this a goto when we are in Columbus, which is several times a year. We were here for the weekend and had dinner on Friday. It was soo good and the atmosphere is relaxing, we went back for lunch on Sunday before heading back home. The smoked salmon is amazing, and the wife dreams about the gluten-free fish and chips. I wish we had a Pearl in Cleveland!!

Cory Chapman

A wonderful restaurant with amazing gluten free options. My wife enjoyed her first chicken Parmesan in years here. Very inviting and lovely atmosphere. The lasagna was delicious and the service was prompt. If you don’t want to sit at the bar, make sure to call ahead.

Matthew Anthony

Where to start… The gluten free bread for the table was phenomenal. Our entire table was gluten free and tasted spot on. The chicken parm was huge and flavorful. The pasta alla carbonara was also great and had a perfect amount of sauce and was perfect with the chicken. Our waitress, Vanessa, was so nice and accommodating to our needs(lil bro had a crush). She even gave us a special off-the-menu desert after hearing about or gluten free travels. Will 100% come back again every time we’re near. The whole experience was SPOT ON!!!

Olivia Evert

Always just kind folks and are always helpful when it comes to my food allergies. I can't have dairy or gluten and I get the Chicken Daal with no dairy and they always make it perfect and safe each time

Lilli Thompson

KENDELL IS AMAZING she was so accommodating with my celiacs and went above and beyond to make sure I was secure about all options! She was so amazing. The food is so good too! Caso is top dog

Toni Sacco

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Wendy Batdorf

I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Dan Scharnagl

There are a ton of GF options. They have 2 gluten free crust options. A square gluten free crust, about 10x10. And a round GF cauliflower, about 10" diameter. 3 GF beer options as well.

Allison Glasgow

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

Emily Basham

My son and I love eating here - the food is delicious and celiac-safe! Added bonus that it's dairy free as well. Highly recommend!

We ate on the patio. 3 of us, early evening. The guys got specialty burgers and I ordered a chicken n bacon sandwich, no bun. I asked for them to make sure there was NO pepper or spices on the sandwich. Then I asked if they had fried peppers of any kind and if so, do they fry them in the same fryer as the FF. They said they jave them, but they can fry my FF in their gluten free fryer. So I ordered this. Another server brought our food. It had a few very appealing fried vegetable circles on my chicken sandwich. I asked what they were. They put fried jalapeños on my chicken sandwich! After I spent time explaining why I could not eat peppers of any kind. They were directly on my chicken so they had to make a completely new one. My guys had gotten their food so they were just about done by the time my corrected food came out. The chicken did not have spices on it, but they again screwed it up. I had asked for them to just not serve the bun and no sauce. I should have gotten lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese and chicken, plus a side of FF. Instead, I got one small piece of chicken with a piece of cheese and an order of FF. The chicken was good, even though not what I ordered. I could still taste a bit of heat to it- they probably did not have a clean spot to grill it so it may have had a bit of pepper. We did not go inside so I do not know the condition of the interior. The server was pleasant. The outside dining area was relatively clean. We would probably eat there again if we were in the area.

Great spot for some homemade gluten free bread and pasta. I had the pennette alla vodka and the gluten free table bread, it was all delicious and server was very pleasant

Candy Cotton

The best chips in the… world?????? They have THE best chips. I know, crazy to say the chips are the best thing on the menu but omg, they’re that good. We got a pizza which was also very very good and celiac safe! But the chips still outshined. To be GF, we got the chips with the spinach artichoke dip instead of the baguette it usually comes with and I mean I think it’s my fave appetizer in the city now. Also I got the huckleberry mule WOW it was amazing! Dangerously good!!! So sweet and like a blue raspberry slushy type flavor but ya know, a huckleberry mule. If you’ve never had huckleberry, it’s a delicious sweet tart berry native to the US north west, namely Montana. And when I go to Montana I get huckleberry everything because it’s so good and rare here to the Midwest. So that was a real treat!!! Service was so good too! I didn’t get our servers name but he was just the best and so kind! God bless Cameron Mitchell for supporting the GF community. It really does mean the world to me as silly as that sounds. It’s so liberating and life changing to be able to go to a restaurant and order really anything I want and not just a salad w no crutons. Btw parking is in the garage across the street (short north garage) or there’s another garage down the road (Lincoln) parking isn’t bad, we spent $10 and it’s really close to the building. Parking thankfully was really easy. Not that Lincoln Social has any control over the parking regardless, but it’s nice that a garage is close!

Aline Santos

Great ice cream place, staff is very accommodating of food allergies and delicious flavors! Super recommend for anyone specially celiacs

Rebecca Smith

This is the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Easily the best Italian food I’ve had in Ohio. I cannot recommend enough. Personally, I eat gluten and dairy free. There were able to accommodate for me and our server, Shelby, was wonderful. The bruschetta was so yummy. They even brought me out gluten free bread and oil when we sat down. I got the gluten free pasta with marinara and grilled chicken and WOW it was AMAZING, the sauce was incredible. AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BUTTERSCOTCH CRÈME BRÛLÉE (it’s not dairy free but the whole table LOVED IT). I cannot wait to come back!!!

I love that it's gluten free, but it has a lot of soy and salt.

Kelley Lauginiger

Monica was so kind and made sure my order worked w my allergies. Sometimes w celiac it can be a challenge, but she made it easy and fun! It was delicious, too. Thanks, Monica🥪

My friends took us here for my birthday because they knew I would love it and I also have celiacs and they offer a lot of gf menu items; Cento did not disappoint. We sat on the patio. The atmosphere is gorgeous and very clean. The food was amazing. I had the beef carpaccio and the filet with gf fettuccini and did not get sick at all. They also made a great filthy martini. Our waiter was Joey and he was fantastic. He brought out lemon cookies but since I couldn’t have them he also brought out limoncello. It is on the pricey side but worth it for a special occasion. Definitely recommend, especially if you have issues with gluten.

They have fast service and amazing food! Plus everything is completely gluten free!! Im so happy the their gochujang sauce is back!!

R Burkett

Alli was great! The margs are always awesome. Great gluten free options though they don’t market themselves as necessarily a “gluten free” place. The acoustics in their building kinda suck but thats true of all Condados restaurants. I recommend.

Lior Seidel

GF & FD options, they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer!

Nicole A

Very impressed by their bowls! Everything is gluten-free. Felt so refreshing to eat a healthy alternative to fast food during our trip. Highly recommend!

Sandy Sommers

Great food. Had sausage, German potato salad, and applesauce. Sausage was grilled and served hot. I needed gluten free and they had a GF menu with good GF selections. Everything was great!

Jeannine Bennison

Great steakhouse in Dublin, Ohio! We ate there for Mother's Day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered the petite filets, creamed spinach, loaded baked potato, tossed salad. All were delicious 😋 Our waitress told us almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free which we appreciated due to my husband's gluten allergy. The waitress even had prepared fresh for my husband gluten free bread, he loved that special touch. We parked in the adjacent parking garage which was very convenient, just take the elevator to the 4th floor and your street level with the entrance to the restaurant. Check with the hostess at the hostess stand and they will validate your parking ticket for free parking in the garage. All the employees were fantastic and we ate on the 'patio' which was very nice, it has a nice view of the pedestrian bridge. All in all it was a fantastic choice and we hope to be back soon!

Tiffany Woods

Great Asian grill! Everything is gluten free!

I don't usually leave reviews but HAD to after trying them out! I've tried lots of gluten free items and theirs are absolutely the best I've had. I got several items and couldn't help but eat them all immediately! The tasted just as good as, if not better than, your typical baked goods, and you can tell lots of care and effort go into making them. The service was wonderful as well. Thank you!!

Bailey Connor

So so delicious! All of them are gluten free, and the seasonal flavors are a must try! 😋
