The best gluten free pizzas I’ve had so far (and I’ve tried a lot). Delicious food and friendly service. Feels like a family run business, outdoor dining is nice and cool, indoor dining a bit warmer but you get to watch the pizza oven. Looking forward to going back.
The food was genuinely delicious - full of flavour and really comforting. We had the lasagne, which was rich and hearty, and I had a gluten-free pizza that was surprisingly good!!
Service was excellent. Big thanks to Alexandro for taking such good care of us - friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome.
We also got coffees which were strong and authentic - we really enjoyed our time here 😌 The only small downside was the music being a bit loud for me, but just personal preference; everyone else seemed fine with it.
Absolutely delicious and excellent service. We had the caprese salad, eggplant parmigana and a proper wood fired pizza. All dishes were some of the best Italian food we've had outside of Italy. Amazing. And perfectly topped off with great wine and a limoncello! Sad they were sold out of gluten free pizza but will definitely be back to try it when next in the area. Thank you for a great night and 100% recommend.
Best gluten free pizza! And just amazing food! I came here with some friends, being gf and vegan it's hard to go out with a group of friends who don't have dietary requirements and this place was just perfect! I was able to eat the same foods as my friends without feeling left out. I can't wait to come back .
It has been quite awhile since eating here, but so glad we did. We came for lunch as they did have Gluten Free options on the menu as my son is a ceoliac and it is so hard to find a place to take him. This place is outstanding, they are Ceoliac friendly . They told us that they do gf meals separately to non gf which made us feel really safe. The staff were right on top of this, with 2 staff members serving our table and always making sure my son was given the right meal. He had the Pork chop in GF crumb and said he has never been able to get anything like that in a restaurant and it was amazing. 5 stars for there knowledge and kindness as nothing was too hard. I wish that more restaurants took being a ceoliac seriously like Kneading Rubys. Thank you, and the food and service was outstanding.
Sensational pizza (gluten free to accommodate m’lady) with delicious ingredients. Service was so friendly and accommodating. And how can you beat corkage free booze from the wine shop next door. Thanks for great experience Hamish and Alex.
Friendly and professional service, and delicious food. I recommend the mushroom risotto (good Gluten Free option). The gnocchi and pastas looked great too. My husband had the Pork belly main and he loved it.
MID
Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special.
• Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly.
• Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful.
Areas for Improvement
• Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff.
• Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time).
• Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary.
• No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating.
• Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste.
• Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.
Fantastic service tonight! Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgable. Gluten free gnocchi available and if you fancy dessert, you can have (gluten free) Panna Cotta too!
I tried the gluten free capricciosa pizza. Well-made dough, just the right amount of crunch. Very tasty and abundant ingredients. Definitely a quality Italian product here in Sydney.
Silvio, the owner, very kind and friendly. The wine was also excellent! 🤙🏻
Very welcoming place. Recommended.
Great knowledge of coeliacs. Will offer gluten free bread and ensure gluten free pasta is not cross contaminated when cooked in kitchen.
Amazing quality. Just be wary if ordering a drink, they do use “pasta” straws.
Amazing atmosphere, food and service. The gluten free pizza bases are absolutely delicious, the best I have found in Sydney. Our go-to restaurant! Highly recommend!
If you love home style Italian cooking, this is the place to come. Honest Italian food at honest prices. Family owned and run. Basic but unpretentious decor. Great gluten free menu too.
We went during vivid and I am a celiac and I had the gluten free margherita with no reaction! The dough was amazing and their sunset passion fruit mocktail was amazing! I would highly suggest this place, my mom and stepdad also got salmon and the cut of the week and they also enjoyed it a lot, I didn’t even have time to take a photo of the food as I was too busy eating it, 10/10 all of the people were nice and I highly suggest
Absolutely fantastic. I am coeliac and Pasta Bouy offer gluten free pasta with all of their gluten free by ingredient sauces! We’ve been coming here for 2 years over the Easter break and this year we’ve been here 4 nights out of our 5 night stay. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is great. Their happy hour and Saturday drink specials are awesome. 10/10. Sam and Zack :)
We went to Don Fred after a long day of work, and we couldn't have wanted a better place to go to than Don Fred.
Vegan, gluten free dining with a sumptuous Italian style and flavour.
The service was impeccable.
The food devine.
We could taste the love of food in EVERY bite.
If you're in Sydney, and even if you're travelling from interstate or overseas, this wonderful, intimate, plant based dining experience is a MUST for everyone .
Once dined, you'll be thinking of the next time you'll be back
Amazing, we ate Gorgonzola gnocchi, bolognaise ragu with gluten free tagliatelle, fettuccine with mushrooms. Everything is handmade from quality ingredients. We had sorbet tasters of raspberry, mango, chocolate and blood orange - all dairy free. It was like eating fruits from the forest. We are traveling from Perth, the closest thing to these gelato flavours would be making it yourself at home or eating these icey delights at a fruit farm. Thanks you for your generosity and passion into our plates Pompei! Great night atmosphere and buzz of Bondi. We are travelling with two small kids.
I have previously had coffee and the impossible cake from Bottega Coco. The coffee is excellent The impossible cake is meant to be gluten and lactose free but there is something in the cake that I still react too.
This time I went with a friend and this my review:
Order
Gluten & lactose free GNOCCHI AI PORCINI (VG)(V)(GFO), caprese salad, bruschetta, lemon lime bitters, pineapple juice.
Pros
Excellent service
They catered for my gluten free and lactose free dietary requirements.
The food was really good.
The ambience of the place was also great.
The lemon lime bitters was excellent."
Cons
I didn’t take any pics of the food.

Our new family celebration venue. Highly recommended for coeliacs. Fabulous spot, friendly and attentive staff (particularly with coelic requests) and best of all happy tummies :)
Last night, my husband and I had dinner at Lennox Pizza and ordered a gluten free Surf n Turf pizza. The staff were wonderful, very polite and attentive to our questions and order. The pizza tasted so good that we ordered the same again and ate the lot. These pizzas would be two of the very best Pizzas we have ever had. We will be back. Thank you.
CASA is located in a beautiful and charming spot, especially during Vivid — the ambiance is lovely, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. However, a few things during our visit left us disappointed.
Even with the heaters on, the place was still quite cold, which made our food cool down very quickly. The fries were overcooked, had a burnt taste, and were completely unseasoned — not even a pinch of salt.
I was told there was a gluten-free bruschetta option, but no one mentioned they would replace the bread with pizza dough. That really changed the texture and flavor, and unfortunately, it wasn’t very enjoyable.
The BBQ chicken pizza was another letdown. The BBQ sauce was extremely strong and tasted like a generic, store-bought version — overpowering everything else.
On a positive note, the pulled pork with potatoes was absolutely delicious — definitely the highlight of the meal.
I’ve been to CASA before and had a great pizza, so I know they can do better. I’m sharing this feedback hoping it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.
The absolute best. We had breakfast here two days in a row and the service and food was impeccable. Also had gluten free options for our coeliac daughter. 👌👌
Vitaly has been our favourite Italian restaurant in the past three years!, every time we fancy a good pasta or pizza night we head there. This year I have been diagnosed with celiac diseased and last week my partner and I decided to go and see what they could do for me. When I told to the waitress that I needed a gluten free dish but also avoid any possible cross contamination she was very kind and explained to me that the chef and assistants in the kitchen are very carful when someone has any type of allergies or conditions.
I loved my meal and I didn’t have any reaction afterwards, I will definitely go back again! Thanks for making me feel included and welcomed!.
Great gluten free pasta! They were knowledgeable about coeliac disease and gluten - and advised none of their pizzas, which are all pre-made in like slabs, are gluten free however they did do gluten free pasta dishes. Had the pasta, it was delicious, and then had an affogato afterwards - yum, excellent, would go ahead!
We grabbed some takeaway gluten free pizzas when visiting the Forster area earlier this month and they were honestly the best gluten free bases I have ever tried. Even my non-gluten free partner enjoyed them! Highly recommend
The place is always busy and sometimes you need to line up for few minutes or even wait for a table, but the food is really good and really good portions.
Sadly they don’t have much options for gluten free or dairy free. The price is ok
Pleasant place with excellent view.
Good pizza, fast, punctual, attentive service, I would say excellent.
Great attention to people with celiac disease, in particular we thank Jennifer, the excellent waitress!!
Pizza not safe for celiac despite the reviews on here as there is major cross contamination. Speak to staff as they are knowledgeable and were able to offer an alternative which was delicious !
Love that they have gluten free vegan cheese pizza option. Our Hawaiian pizza came a little under cooked. Great gluten free spaghetti bolognese. The spaghetti all a pescadora (gluten free) was the bomb!
Amazing and fresh food, full of flavours, tried all of pastas and pizzas, also gluten free options in both, deserts topped it off, just amazing, will bring the fam next time for sure
