I went to Al Dente next door to here and asked if I could sit at the bar and the gentleman at the front (owner?) was very pleasant in directing me to “his bar” in Benevetos. So they’re related. The menus are similar except Benevotos has a great open kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven. I was a bit pasta-d out so I was hoping for the Sea Bass Al Dente but it isn’t on this menu. So I went for pizza, and they had a gluten free crust (+$5, a little steep) which was very good. The bar tender, who did a great job, said it would be thin, crunchy and good, and she was right. Overall it was a good pizza with plenty of fresh ingredients. Perhaps undercooked on top, which can happen with a Gf crust, but solid. I’ll try the sea bass next door next time.
Amazing experience all around. Innovative menu, great service and atmosphere, and delicious food. The fusion between French and Cambodian is done with separate menu sections, but some influence across boundaries. Perfect for a date night or a group. The bar has an annoyingly-large and out of place TV though.
Appetizer: Kapik King, a slow-cooked spiced pork belly with a rice croquette and pickles, was perfectly cooked and spiced, and a good portion. The three parts of the dish complemented each other - the melt-in-your-mouth sweet-and-spicy meat, crispy rice, and crunchy salty pickles. 5/5
Appetizer: Leah Chah, mussels in a white whine sauce but with an Asian twist, almost like a light curry. Definitely better than the standard, but two complaints: pretty small portion, and no bread for dipping. 4/5
Entree: Pavé de Saumon, beautifully cooked salmon with mushrooms, over mashed potatoes, and with an arugula side salad. Flavorful, French, and good portion. 5/5
Entree: Curry d’Agneau aux Légumes, braised lamb curry with veggies, Cambodian, bursting with flavor from all the spice, good portion size. 5/5
Desserts: Le Péché au Chocolat, a rich French chocolate truffle cake with raspberry, and Sangkhia l’Pao, a Cambodian squash and coconut cake that was less sweet but nonetheless an awesome dessert with good texture. 4/5
Drinks: non-alcoholic:
Elephant Walk Punch (blood orange, passion fruit, lime) 5/5
Kalamansi agave limeade (kalamansi is a Filipino relative of an orange), but it was too orangey, 4/5
Some of these dishes were on the special menu, which is always long, so you may not find these exact dishes when you go.
Good vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten free-options.
We went for Dine Out Boston, so it was $46 for appetizer, entree, and dessert, and we got $9 nonalcoholic spritzers, but normally it would be $13-17 for an appetizer and and $24-32 for an entree. So not too bad.
Absolutely amazing!
The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!
We ate brunch here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and unlike any Japanese food I've had before. There is amazing attention to detail in the taste. They are also incredibly Gluten-free friendly. Only one item on the brunch menu had wheat and the fryer was wheat free.
I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on!
The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.
One of the coolest spots in little Italy, I loved the set up. The food was really cool, they offered gluten free pasta and vegan cheese which made my day! The service was a bit slammed, we had to wait a while to get seated and checked out but that’s to be expected when it’s a popular spot.
Lots of interesting food but I wouldn't go here if you are coeliac because they can't promise there's been no cross contamination (due to the chicken alternative Seitan).
The strawberry milkshake was the best I've had in a while.
High energy and lively place with an extensive menu and good wine list. The Gluten Free selection is outstanding. The food was great with lots of things to share. It can be loud when it's busy.
A beautiful ambience and some very supportive staff. Unfortunately though they have limited gluten free and low-FODMAP options. So, folks with food sensitivities- this lovely place ain't for you.
This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.
Our main reason for writing a review is Harold. Harold was our waiter today. It was PACKED and he must have been slammed with tables, however he was super attentive, made us feel heard and took priority in ensuring my allergy was accommodated for. His overall persona was just amazing. I would recommend to come here just based off of Harold’s service.
However, we went for my dad’s 58th birthday. The food was great. Atmosphere was so great (never felt rushed, and you were able to hear each other and videos).
They also had GREAT options for gluten free. All fried foods are gluten free, they have key lime pie, New York cheesecake and other desserts that are gluten free as well.
GLUTEN FREE DREAM!!!!!!
This is a small towny restaurant - it’s actually very small ha, but in a cute cabin-like way. The owner, John, came to introduce himself and tell us about the menu. He has been gluten-free for the last 25+ years and understands the importance of gluten-free items on the menu. He said that all, but four items on the menu are either naturally gluten-free or could be made gluten-free. They have a gluten-free only section in the kitchen that is separated from the rest and they do their absolute best effort at avoiding cross contamination. Raquel our waitress was super sweet and attentive as well.
Their mud pie dessert has GF Oreo cookies! DELICIOUS. We ordered fried oysters, calamari, lobster penne vodka, and surf and turf with friend clam strips. OMG DELICIOUS. I have been so limited for so long as someone with celiac disease and I finally found a place I could peacefully enjoy fried foods at!
Gluten-free seafood HEAVEN! Not only is everything fried gluten free, but they have dairy free and vegan options. They even have gluten free ice cream sandwiches. Great food!
Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside
While it seems like it will be fun spot to eat with a cute ice cream stand out back and lots of seating was met with disappointment once it came to the food. While I am grateful that they provide gluten free options it truly does not matter if it’s barely edible. The batter was bland, soggy and overpowered with taste of the fish. My husband and I actually tore off the batter to attempt to even get a taste of the $40+ fish we spent on. Which was still average at best and quickly got sick of eating from the greasy batter. Definitely a disappointment as I was excited to have a gluten free option and did not feel it was at all worth what we spent.

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.
Very good burgers! Loved that the waiter knew exactly what I was asking about the French fries being gluten free. Fries and tots are safe and fried in a separate frier! Very tasty fries and the gluten free bun was good too!
Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!
Homemade GF pasta and mozzarella sticks!!! Yes please!! My sister and I both have celiac and our waiter put us at ease right away, letting us know that the gluten-free food was prepared in a separate area. I did have my 10 year old niece with me. She was not as appreciative of the menu. There were not many options for her as a child.

Some good options! Definitely caters towards allergies. Pancake wasn’t my favorite but everything else was good! Wait time was a lil crazy but great atmosphere! Would def recommend!
We’ve eaten a few times at your place since moving to the area, food has been great every single time.
I’ll cut to the chase.
My partner is celiac.
It would appear one of your staffs comprehension of the English language is not satisfactory enough to understand this.
She took our order, peanut soup was ordered, we clearly stated no bread please on the side. When the soup arrived, bread was on the plate and the server has absolutely no idea what the issue was and didn’t know what to do. I removed the bread from my partners plate and told her it’s ok now and that I will eat the bread as I’m not celiac, she attempted to take away my plate, I again said it’s ok leave the bread I’ll eat it. The server then lifted my plate and took it away.
We then ordered pizza, one gluten free and one ordinary pizza.
The same server as before came over to our table, laid down the pizza she was holding and announced it was gluten free!!!
30 seconds later, a tall blonde lady server comes over and announces that the pizza she is holding is gluten free!
Summary, your server around 5ft with long black hair simply should not be taking orders for people with food allergies, it’s my observation that her grasp of English isn’t of a good enough standard.
I did email however received no reply from 3 weeks ago.
Yay for GF options! Overall, a great experience! Rice noodles disintegrated, but I’m used to that in gluten free dishes. Chicken was delicious, peanut sauce was a tasty but a little thick, needed a little more heat, veggies were AMAZING. Kale/bok choy and broccoli was the best. I had high hopes for the GF dumplings, but they managed to be both crunchy and dry on the outside and mushy on the inside. Thai basil lemonade is awesome! Overall, really fun space, great seating upstairs, and we will remember this place next time we are in Boston!
I will follow this restaurant to every location they move to! The food is absolutely phenomenal, full of perfectly balanced spices, not too heavy, hot, fast and delicious. Wide variety on the menu and lots of options even for vegans or gluten free. Would go here every week if I could. Our favorites: vegetable makhani, goat madras, and the paneer tikka masala. Take out is great but food is even better if you can make it in person!
Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!
Delicious gluten free French toast!
Place was packed with a long line outside, but service was fast for the amount of people there. Food was worth the wait!
Seating is tight and probably not a lot of room for strollers or wheelchairs, I’d call ahead to make sure.
OMG Fabulous!! Beautiful gluten free menu as well as a regular menu. Gorgeous food! Wide assortment of hot chocolates! Kind, sweet server! I love this place!
Having someone close to me have celiac makes finding food difficult at times, but we always can go to 110 because of how amazing they are with dietary caution. They will make any dish edible for any allergy. Fantastic service and delicious food. The interior and outdoor seating are both beautiful too.
Visiting Brookline and ordered delivery from Otto got the gluten-free pineapple and bacon pizza and added chicken. Super tasty and fresh! Everything came hot and the crust was great. Definitely hit the spot!
Extensive gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options!
The gluten free “spaceballs” are meant to be gf garlic bread. It’s just a pizza crust with seasonings and parmesan shaker cheese.
I tried the gf cauliflower bites and they were alright! They were baked, not fried.
The pizza was pretty good but nothing special.
Ordered ‘shroom burger (amazing), with spicy crinkle cut fries (way too spicy, even for a Korean), and Shake Shack burger with a gluten free bun (the gf bun didn’t fall apart, which is rare!). Lots of seating at this location.
Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.
Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing
I was part of a group of 14 yesterday who stopped here for lunch on the way home from Boston. I can't say enough good about out experience. Everyone was happy,as there were more than enough choices to satify everyone. The restaurant was very attentive to dietary needs. ie gluten free, allergies etc. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress was very personable and prompt. We were pleasantly surprised as everything came out of the kitchen as ordered and all pretty much at the same time. The food was very good, as was the presentation.Our waitress kept our beverage glasses full. We are all planning out next visit, as this one was so good.
