Gluten Free Options

I've been going to because I have celiac disease and they are 100% gluten-free but Unfortunately, I recently tested their food with my Nima sensor, and it found gluten, which made me really sick and almost sent me to the hospital. It's super important for places that serve gluten-free food to make sure it's actually safe for people with celiac disease. Do better the owner insured me no gluten very disappointed. Please contact me if you want to confirm I’m being honest so people with cealic don’t get sick. The food is great if you don’t have cealic

The best gf pasta and italian bread, wonderful service

Brooke Laver

My favorite healthy spot in the city! So many options for gluten free, dairy free, etc. the food is delicious and fresh — ate here so many times and will definitely come back if I’m in the city!

Regan Christensen

Extremely friendly staff and amazing food. The gluten free pasta was amazing and I can’t wait to come back here again!

Solid casual brunch

Ophelia Green

One of the best vegan meals we’ve ever had. Lots of gluten free options too!! We had the chicken Kabob, which was outstanding! Definitely want to go back for all the others.

Ci Siamo: A Last-Minute Surprise That Delivered Big Popped into Ci Siamo on a whim this past Monday night and was quickly welcomed and led to seats at the bar. From the start, the bartender set the tone—guiding us to the perfect dry white wine by the glass and offering recommendations that turned out to be spot on. The prosciutto? Silky, melt-in-your-mouth perfection—none of that tough, stringy stuff you sometimes get. The beets with anchovies were boldly anchovy-forward in the best way, earthy with just the right hit of acid and umami. To top it off, they gifted us an escarole salad on the house, which rounded out the starters beautifully. For mains, I was leaning toward something else, but at the bartender’s urging, we went with the cavatelli and stracci. God, was he right. The rabbit in the stracci was impossibly tender, and the broth had a depth of flavor that was rich but not heavy, with cracked black pepper bringing just the right amount of heat. The cavatelli, made gluten-free for my friend, was shockingly good—I’m not gluten-intolerant, and I still took her leftovers home. Between the crab, spice, acid, and salt, that dish was simply phenomenal. Desserts didn’t disappoint either. We went with two recommended options, both fantastic, but the real standout moment was when the bartender, noticing our excitement over a lemon curd dessert my friend couldn’t have, surprised us with a scoop of gelato topped with lemon curd—on the house. Her little gluten-free heart was beyond happy. Yes, it’s a bit pricey. Yes, there’s a lot of hype. But the quality of the food and the genuine care in the service make it all worth it. I’ll be back very soon.

Great brunch spot! They have Gluten-free bread and the staff so friendly

Where's WeeWoo

Got the roasted chicken and the green juice. Both very good. Menu isn’t labeled for gluten free but is labeled for biodynamic, organic and natural? Also got fries and felt fine from those too.

Mathieu Blake

Great price and value. Thank you for having gluten free pizza by the slice.

Mattia Martello

I have celiac disease and have been here, the menu is almost completely gluten free except for the Pita and it is safe for celiacs. Upon request, the waiters will also change their gloves for greater safety.

Jeff Douglass

Allergy warning — Ordered a dish labeled gluten free on the menu. It came with gluten [bread] on the dish. When asked how was that was possible, the answer was “it’s gluten feee besides that”. They eventually took the dish back and remade it without the bread. Very disappointing, as I’ve been here several times and the food is so very delicious. But if you’re looking for gluten feee as a celiac or other strict dietary reasons….. beware.

Jason Krebs

Very nice place. A few gluten free pasta options that are delicious.

Savannah R

YUM!! The empanada was like a little pillow of flavor, the plantain and cheese one was fantastic and sweet but great with the green salsa. The tostones would have been great fresh (not their fault as my uber took forever) and the guac was flavorful!

This might be my new favorite Thai Food spot 🤔 You ever just have “food eras” where you crave one specific type of meal or cuisine for a few weeks and it’s all you want? Yeah. That’s me with Thai Food atm. Had to check out a spot I’ve long heard about: 📍Glur Thai (@glurnyc) 👉 WHAT WE GOT: • Chicken Pad Thai ($17) — *gluten free* • Vegan khao na ped ($20) — vegetarian duck over rice, pickled ginger, and Thai herbed gravy 👉 WHAT I THOUGHT: The Chicken Pad Thai was certified ✨🙏 From plating, to portion size, to flavor, this dish brought it all. The chicken was thin and juicy, the noodles were slick with flavorful salt, tons of peanuts to spread around, and of course, a like wedge to tie all the flavors together 😍 The Vegan khao na ped was also excellent for mock duck. The pieces of “duck” were crispy, flavorful, and not greasy (at some spots, Nick meat can be a bit slimy). Fresh ginger and dipping sauce on the side made this a simple yet flavorful dish, great for vegetarians 🌱 Service was friendly and our dishes came out in just around 10 minutes which was fantastic given how hungry we were. The space is small so come early, or be okay with a small wait if you come during busy dinner hours (we waited 5 minutes).

My wife and I had a great time here. It's a cozy little Italian restaurant with great gluten free options. It's also just far enough from MSG where you can get a quiet pre-game meal vs. the sports bar scene. We loved it and will be back.

Lisa Snow

Awesome gluten-free and normal options. Staff are friendly, high energy, and willing to answer questions. In the evening, there was a live DJ and great music. UVK makes healthy both delicious and cool!

Kim Deere

Great Gluten Free Pizza! Best price too!!!! $15.95 for a 12' 5 toppings pizza!

Beatrice K. Techawatanasuk

Best gluten free crepe in NYC!

Patrik Erlmann

Great Food and perfect service! The dishes look and taste fantastic and the food is really authentic! Great for people with food allergies, everything is well annotated even gluten free!

Anna Joicey

Loaded up bagels which were warm and incredibly generous! Filter coffee was lovely and also had a slice of a cranberry/pumpkin cake which was vegan and gluten free and was not too sweet and tasty 😋

Jessica Lebovits, RD, CDN

Favorite paella place- menu marked GF

Christina Vatakis

The people working very nice and friendly. They were very informative about the items on the menu and had many gluten free options. I would visit again! Great experience! 😊

Emily Asaro

Great food and service. Really appreciated the gluten-free options - this is a great dining option for people with celiac disease.

L B

wonderful restaurant! our server was so sweet and attentive and the food was to die for. both my friend and are are gluten free (celiac) and the menu labeled all dishes that were ‘GF’. I had the short ribs and the flan and WOW. I will definitely be back!

Jessica Schram McAuliffe

They were super knowledgeable about what I could and couldn't eat due to gluten

Skyler Fortgang

Awesome spot - gluten free buns available!

laura ruhlman

Great Jamaican food that has gluten free options.

Arielle Kulenski

Good vegan food & plenty of gluten free options

Rachael Dyer

Great diner - loved it for all day breakfast and lunch. Gluten free pancakes were amazing. Friendly - would highly recommend.

Alyssa

Food was very good and lots of gluten free options! The little gem lettuce salad was a win. Also had the spicy peanut pasta (gluten free!) Great for small dinners or dinners with parents as the space inside is not all that large and the menu puts a small (but worth it) dent in the pocket.

Olga Pershina

Celebrated my birthday here with a small group of people. Restaurant itself is very beautiful and high class. The food is delicious- I highly recommend the lobster pad Thai, miso cod, spicy tuna on crispy rice and oysters. The waiter was very attentive and accommodating especially for one of my friends who has a gluten allergy. We all had a great time :)

Ailis Fitzgerald

I have a gluten allergy. The waitress was very accommodating and double checked if the fried chicken was safe the fried chicken is gluten free but it’s fried in frier that would be cross Contaminated. Soo amazing for triple Checking. Unfortunately we were so rushed. To the point I was still shoveling food in my mouth and she asked to Take my plate. Even watched over our table. And the Manager coming over on her iPad multiple time during our dinner ( if there is a time limit let us know in advance, we were there total 2 hours with drinks and dessert) Idk if I was starving but the food was excellent!!! Everything was soo good! Dips to filet kebab to dessert

Sonia Wong

Excellent takeaway dinner or lunch! Many delicious gluten-free and vegetarian options, the lemongrass chicken was both tender and tasty, and there was so much food, the cashier had to staple the lid on, LOL. Seriously, so many toppings, I had to really work to get to the brown rice and salad. Very reasonably priced. Great service too; I appreciate your patience as I pondered all the options. I wish we had a Som Bo in Vancouver, BC. You should open one there - you’d do really well!

Hayley B

Friendly staff, good food, fast service. Great transparency over gluten free items, they're clearly indicated on the menus which is nice. Top tip: for a quick, cheap meal, order fries and ask them to throw some feta on top, and get tzatziki on the side, so good!

Tela Kayne

One of my new favorites. Food is fresh and healthy. Service is solid. Space is limited but it adds to an authentic NYC cafe experience. Gluten and dairy free options available.

Clarita Souza

Amy Lauria

Really great food with tasty drinks. They have some good gluten free options as well. Sit outside if you can. They have a nice patio.

Genna Suchomel

Fantastic food and they were able to accommodate my gluten free and dairy free diet!

yuxing yang

Very solid gluten-free pastry

Emma Amselem Bensadon

Delicious dinner! They don’t have gluten free pita but they can accommodate most of their menu to be gluten free. Service was great and the food was delicious, I didn’t even need pita! Definitely recommend

Tori Condon

Very friendly staff, great options for gluten and dairy allergies (as well as vegan), music wasn't too loud, and the food was delicious.

Nicolas Moreau

Our best New York experience with a group of teenagers and a limited budget. Better than all the competitors recommended in the guides. Very good hamburgers, choice and, above all, dishes for all diets: vegetarian, gluten-free, pork-free...

Florian Vierzigmann

This was a walk in visit. I asked about gluten free options and they were able to prepare sushi with GF soy sauce for me. I also had the grilled squid from the Korean menu. The orders for my kids were forgotten and it took a while for them to receive their food. The owner was very nice!

Mike Owens

Came for dinner with family and overall experience was disappointing. Food was hit or miss with some decent menu items and others of poor quality or taste. The biggest disappointment was in the service. Wait staff ghosted us for 15 minutes at a time while we waited to order, waited for drinks, and waited for additional menu items which they had forgotten. Also not a good choice for someone with celiac requiring a gluten-free diet. Menu is extremely limited and wait staff was ignorant of what was and what wasn't gluten free. Overall, the restaurant was a bit pretentious with more focus on the vibe than on the food or service.

Super hip place that gives upscale vibes with the interior and serves elevated comfort food. Indoor-outdoor boundary is blurred with the seating that feels very open and nice. Great place for brunch or early dinner. There’s all types of people, families in there, very wholesome. There’s plenty of gluten free/vegan/vegetarian options as well. Servers are nice and accommodating but not overwhelming. Bar is gorgeous and the drinks were great! I had the Bistro Burger with a lettuce wrap (9/10), Deviled Eggs (9/10), Burrata (9/10), Polenta Fries (10/10), Grilled Chicken Paillard (6/10) and the Wildberry Mojito (8/10) over two visits recently. As an interior designer, I must note that the interior is absolutely stunning and very thought to the last detail. For a small space, they really made it look nice and conceptually consistent which I love!

Viva Max Kaley

The food is delicious. I had the Chicken Karahi from Pakistan with Jasmin rice and it tasted so fresh and homemade. Great Gluten-Free options.

Valerie Roy

Our dinner was outstanding and their enchiladas are to die for!!! It was so good that I ordered a second main course—despite no longer being hungry—as it was THAT good. The food is freshly made with all natural ingredients. Our server gave us fantastic service and great recommendations. He was very attentive without being overbearing: just perfect. I frequent this restaurant because I have never, ever been disappointed. What a wonderful little gem this place is! I am gluten-free and they accommodated me fully.
