The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.

I really like this place. I am gluten intolerant so this place really hits home with all of the gluten free options.
I have had various gluten free (GF) pizzas here, the GF fries mozzarella, their GF cheesesteak is really good too!
Additionally the people that work in the restaurant, as well as the folks who drink and dine here are very nice and open to conversation.
This place feels like (and is) a neighborhood bar and restaurant which is becoming rarer in this area.

Only had takeout from here so far, but it was noteworthy.
The gluten free pizza is some of the best we've had.
The glutenous is of course amazing as well.
The burger and chicken sandwich are expensive but also exemplary. (They are huge!)
In our opinion you can share a small pizza with two people and a sandwich with two people.

This locally-owned restaurant serves healthy, delicious and carefully prepared food -- from delicious gluten-free crêpes to fresh fish.

For those interested in a healthy, fresh, and delicious French meal however, this place is highly-recommended. It is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria.

Love Holy Cow because the food is good and they have lots of gluten free options. However, on two recent occasions I’ve found things in my food that should not be there… today I ordered takeout and my husband and I both found hair in our food. On another occasion I found dragonfly wings under my burger. Would have asked for a new meal, but we ordered takeout and were already home when we noticed. Love this place but makes me a little concerned to order again!

This little place has food that is really flavourful. This place is way better than the Ethiopian places recommended in DC. My wife and I found it difficult to decide which dish was the best. Even the gluten free injera was so good and we thought it might be better than the normal injera. We are definitely coming back.

UNO’s has a great menu, but the service needs improvement. When we arrived, the host asked how many were in our party and then walked off to grab menus. Another guest was waiting in front of us, and when he returned, he didn’t communicate for us to follow him. Instead, he walked off, leaving us standing there confused. A simple follow me would have been sufficient. Once he reached the table, he turned and waved us over as if we should have known to follow him. We assumed the lady in front of us was suppose to follow him to the table.
After being seated, we waited 15 minutes before a waitress came over to ask if we had been served. Then a huge group of children came in which caused us to ask to be seated outside. That wasn’t a huge issue, but it did get quite loud in there.
While the initial experience was frustrating, service improved from that point on. The waitress was attentive, and the food was enjoyable. I ordered the gluten-free pizza, which was flavorful with a good crust texture, often a challenge with gluten-free options. My husband ordered a burger with sweet potato fries, which he enjoyed.
Overall, the food was good, but the lack of communication from the host and the delay in service at the start left a negative first impression. A little more attention to detail in customer service would make the dining experience much smoother.

Several co-workers and I recently had lunch here and the consensus was that it was fine, but not something we would likely return to. I had their signature calzone and thought the flavors were good, but it was very difficult to eat with the provided plastic utensils. I chose this calzone because it included steak, but I found the steak portion to be quite light. The fact that they offer gluten free crust might be a positive for some diners. Service was okay, ambiance was nearly non-existent, and the lack of air conditioning combined with hot pizza ovens had all of us feeling uncomfortably hot and ready to leave as soon as our lunch was finished.
