If you are GF, this is the place; everything is gluten-free. We happened upon the summer menu filled with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits, the beet appetizer, the braised short ribs, finished with the chocolate torte. Unique selection of cocktails, and the wine menu is extensive. My glass of Malbec was very good. Service was attentive, personable, yet not always in your space. Highly recommend!

My husband and I chose Strada for our wedding rehearsal dinner catering. Our wedding was originally the weekend of Hurricane Helene, but even amidst the chaos, the Strada catering team got in contact with us to communicate that their kitchen was down, and issued a prompt refund. When we rescheduled our wedding for June 2025, we reached out to see if they would be able to provide catering- this time, my husband was on a strict dairy, soy, gluten and egg free elimination diet. The Strada team worked with us to ensure he had a meal he could safely eat, and also worked to accommodate the vegetarians in our wedding party and my celiac disease. They clearly labeled every allergen, which made everything much easier when we served the catering at our venue- and the food was delicious. We were Strada fans before, but now we’re Strada stans! Highly recommend them for your catered event.

My husband and I frequent Old Europe for their delicious cakes and coffee, so when it came time to pick a vendor for our wedding desserts, it was an easy choice! Abby helped us choose a variety of small cake flavors, and made sure each one was gluten free (I have celiac disease). She also walked us through customizing a larger cake for the two of us. Everything turned out beautiful, and our guests raved about how pretty and delicious our desserts were. Also of note- our original wedding was the day after Hurricane Helene. Old Europe made it super easy to reschedule for our new date!

Great food and service. Been many times but Cass was awesome today. A bit pricey for breakfast but nice to be able to bring my celiac wife.

Had a wonderful brunch at Chestnut! The pimento cheese tater tots were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fried green tomatoes! All gluten-free items are noted on the menu. The servers are very helpful if you have any questions!

A lovely spot in the vibrant and rebuilding Ruver Arts District. Great espresso and fabulous baked goods. Try the gluten-free macarons.

I bought a gluten free peach pie that was recommended to me by the staff, and it was tasteless and disappointing to serve to my guests.

Best beef burger flavor wise I’ve had in avl. I am a fan of another top burger joint Juicy Lucy’s, but honestly I’d rather come here. Food is fresh, hot, and flavorful. They have gluten free options that amazed me-still wish they wouldn’t charge for a change of bun, however you can get it lettuce wrapped for free.

Staff is always friendly and personable. They always offer high quality coffee for retail and they are always serving high quality coffees and teas. They always have pastries and snacks that vegan and gluten free. I usually get an iced oolong or whatever coffee they're serving on batch brew and it's always excellent.
