Great gluten free options and fresh food.

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

Great food and service. They have gluten free options that can also be made dairy free.

Larry Adler

Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!

T. Ray

We love Blanco. Best queso we've had and they have lots of gluten free options. The short ribs in anything is a winner.

This place just landed on my son’s “favorite food place of all time” list 🤣 The employees are all cheery, kind, and helpful. The ingredients for the bowls are all fresh and abundant and for any fellow gluten free eaters the sauces and noodles are all labeled! They make home made ice cream and change the flavors regularly. Tonights flavor is horchata and it is to die for! The vegetable soup is so good, too! There are also fresh brewed loose leaf teas to drink! What a wonderful place. This reminds me of a Mongolian bar b q in Puerto Penasco l. I’m wondering if it’s the same owners? Thanks guys, we can’t wait to come back!

Ella at Lings was pleasant with a wonderful smile. She listened to understand which is awesome because my wife suffers from celiac disease. It can be very difficult to order because unfortunately the gluten-free diet was treated as a fad/preference instead of a autoimmune disease. This is detrimental to the lifespan of a person with celiac even in small amounts. (Over time with constant exposure) As for the food, my wife and I would agree it is amazing. The food was fresh, crisp, and most of all flavorful. With the great wok taste and no burn. The manager even approached the table the different times to make sure everything was up to our likings. He was professional as well as personable and made feel at home. We couldn't have asked for a better first time experience. Thank you

Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!

kathleen Bandola

LOVED IT! Most items were gluten-free and EVERYTHING was delicious!

Marilu Cordova

One of my favorite burger places in the valley. Love that they have grass fed beef and gluten free options.

Sean Cleary

Love this place. 90% of the menu is gluten-free.

Lilly W

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.

Sarita D.

I ordered a gluten-free pizza. I wish more care had been taken to add the toppings evenly.

Erika Geremia

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!

shelly

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!

Kelly Elizabeth

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!

Sarah Shead Zickefoose

GET THE COOKIES. Never ever fried—but it tastes like it has! Perfectly cooked chicken, with a delicious combo of dry rub AND sauce, which you get to choose. And tots. Delicious alternative to all the other chicken sandwich/tender places. And decent prices, too. We also got to talk to one of the owners and learn all about the idea behind the business. FANTASTIC experience. They were supremely accommodating to my gluten-averse needs. Oh, and get a cookie. You’re welcome.

Christine Broselle

This server Ryan is an absolute 10/10! The performance is lightning-fast, with minimal flaws and seamless functionality. The atmosphere is family friendly, and the reliability is unmatched—no crashes or downtime. I am also gluten free and have a peanut and Ryan was very tending to those needs and made lunch go smoothly! Highly recommended!

Alix Naber

Delicious food and amazing gluten free/ vegan options! The mocktails were fantastic also! Would absolutely come back.

Troy Aberle

PBJ burger with gluten free bun was 13/10!

julia jones

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!

Dylan Stein

Good portion sizes of the classics. There were a few vegetarian options and also gluten free buns and Impossible Burgers that are both vegetarian and gluten-free. The only dessert we had was shakes, but they were good. Nice crispy fries. The wait staff is nice and they brought a coloring paper and crayons for the kids in the party. The music is a bit loud for my taste.

Heather Hochsprung

The GF Mongolian beef is my favorite and you can do GF fried rice too. Delicious!

Amandeep Dhillon

After a lot of hype we ended up going to Nakedq. It was okay. The venue stood out so you couldn’t miss it and enough parking in front. Staff are friendly and we’re approachable. The food looks amazing, but it seemed like because we got there at 1800 hrs we might have got food that was just sitting in the heater. The food tasted good but was dry. Best part was the bbq sauce, either sweet or spicy They serve to gluten free so that wasn’t a issue. It’s a good little place but I do think there are better smoke houses around.

Rowan Maclean

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!

Britaney Parks

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

John Halpern

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.

Gluten free pasta was amazing!!

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!

Rhiannon Johns

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.

Janelle Novotny

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.

Lindsay Walsh

Great gluten free options including breakfast sandwiches 🥪

Jon B

We love coming here for happy hour and it’s a good spot for gluten free options as well. Good value for food and drinks and a fun spot to stop in while walking through old town.

Jessica Plesuk

The family was so excited to eat here, as we do not have one in our home state. The food and service was absolutely amazing. My oldest has celiac disease and they were so accommodating to him. LOVED IT!

Lexi George

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… ;)

leojodas

Celeste made my experience today at shake shack absolutely wonderful when she greeted me with a beautiful smile. She was patient with me as I was explaining my dietary restrictions! I was thrilled that there were gluten free options. Restaurant was clean, service was fast!

Jay Purcell

Gluten free selection/dish was lovely!

Raina W

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.

Mallory Bernard

Incredible food with friendly and attentive service! Plenty of gluten free options and knowledgeable staff.

Ian Guile

I had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate my good friend's birthday here with a delicious and well thought out prepared menu! My personal favorite were the glazed pork ribs, but every dish was so well put together and thoroughly enjoyed by all. All but one or two items were gluten free as well, which is incredible for many of the guests! The service is well worth mentioning too; incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful for everyone!

Mindy Pyle

We traveled from out of town and chose this place because they had gluten free options. The staff were attentive and the food and margaritas were delicious. During our visit, we also had an unexpected medical issue with my daughter and all of the staff that was able to help were ready to assist. Their actions show that they truly care about the well-being of their customers and the experience you have while dining there.

Chelsea

Had a lovely dinner here a few weeks ago. We got the NY strip, sautéed corn, Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, sugar snap peas as well as a couple drinks. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. Really appreciate how many options they have for gluten-free and the waiters were super accommodating with other allergens as well. Two of us had extensive food allergies and we still had a lot of variety of food with a couple small adjustments by the staff. Will definitely be back.

Tracy

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.

Delicious, consistent, great for my vegan and gluten free bestie :^)

Kattie L.

Absolutely the best experience, everyone for the hostess to the waiter were extremely friendly and the gluten free pancakes are delicious!!!
