Delicious food!! Atmosphere was crazy cool and an awesome view of the harbour. Also our server was absolutely awesome. A little expensive but definitely worth the experience. Also they gave me a birthday cake and it was very yummy. Very accommodating for someone in my party’s gluten intolerance as well.
My family and I have been to II Mercato numerous times and each visit gets better and better, no question. My wife is celiac and nearly every dish they have can somehow be accommodated to be GF & the table bread they provide is also fresh and GF! The staff are incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. We recently did our gender reveal and they went above and beyond. Thank you so so much
Let me start by saying I knocked a star off for atmosphere because we were the only diners inside!!!
Rebecca and the team looked after us brilliantly. The food choice for gluten-free diners is really good and, for those of us that eat anything, I was in heaven!!
I failed to finish off the pizza crusts, as delicious and light as they were, as the bowl of seafood chowder I shared with my wife as a starter ended up 90% in my belly and I was a little full!! That chowder was better than any we'd ever tasted in the finest seafood restaurants in Boston or Seattle...
The pizza sauce on the Mediterranean Masterpiece (bold title, but it lived up to it) was deliciously full of depth and flavour and the distribution of toppings was perfect - every mouthful was a delight.
We are so happy we ate at Little Christo's tonight and just hope we get to eat there again in the future.
Such a fun place to eat. Celiac safe (in my experience) and most of the menu can be made gf. It tends to be noisy so if you're not into that kind of thing it's something to be aware of. It's a cozy spot and the service is always top notch. Once a dish wasn't what I'd hoped and the server inquired why I wasn't eating much. I didn't want to complain but after I told them I wasn't into it they brought a free dessert after offering to replace the whole meal (I was already full so I didn't want another). The one time I didn't love what I got they more than made up for it with the service. That same day I ate a bunch of another persons pasta and theirs was excellent, I think what I had was a one off and have gone back with 0 issues since.
As a person with celiac disease, it’s hard to come across safe places for me to eat. I was pleasantly surprised to find Vines come up suggested for gluten free options. I decided to check it out with a friend of mine for supper yesterday and felt the experience was above and beyond what I anticipated! They seemed knowledgeable when I asked about gluten containing items such as sauces, and double checked with the kitchen to make sure. Mostly everything on their menu is able to be modified to be celiac friendly. I had the Cajun fettuccine and it was so delicious and flavourful! Was also pleasantly surprised when then came out with some warm gluten free bread and butter as I was not expecting to be that accommodated at all. Also had their peach sangria and it was very very tasty! I will definitely be returning to try some other menu items and am happy to recommend to fellow celiacs ☺️
We ate there twice while on vacation in Yarmouth. Very good pizza. I highly recommend the Donair Pizza, and they even have a gluten-free version, which was amazing!
Enjoyed a lovey family meal at Bitar’s this evening. Lots of Gluten-Free options. I had the GF shish taouk plate. Hummus was exceptional, salad, chicken, rice, and garlic sauce were all sooo tasty. Value was great, and the new renovations also look lovely!
Highly recommend for anyone, but this one gets an extra-special recommendation for the gluten free folks.
Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers.
Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified.
We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered.
The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed .
Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

Got stranded in Antigonish with car trouble and walked over to check out the pizza here. Wow! One of the best gf pizzas I've had! It says it's a cauliflower crust ("gluten gone crust") but this didn't taste like cauliflower, just thin, crispy and delish. I had pepperoni and hot peppers with cheese, all of it delicious and I feel great! I'm always nervous in small local places like this but this was a big win! I did ask if they're careful about cross contamination and he seemed surprised and said of course. Great friendly, quick service too!
Extremely disappointing. My family and I ate here about a month ago and the food was great, we were so excited to come back tonight but unfortunately it was a very different experience this time around.
The hostess was super sweet, but our waitress came and didn’t even introduce herself. Just “what would you like for drinks”. I don’t even know that she said hi. It was just abrupt and unwelcoming. We then ordered the arancini as an appetizer for my daughter and it was frozen in the middle. We let our server know and she replaced them. No big deal. They were busy and I get that mistakes happen. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes for our mains. Which again, they’re busy. I get it and it wouldn’t have bothered me to wait if the food was good. But the food finally came and my daughter’s pasta had very obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time and my partner picked a large chunk of onion peel out of one of his onion rings. When he asked for more ketchup it didn’t come. But the worst of all was my pizza. I ordered gluten free crust which I understand comes frozen but there’s no way anyone thawed it or even attempted to. It was soggy and uncooked when it arrived. I could tell from first glance that it wasn’t cooked and as a server myself, I’m not sure how our server didn’t send it back the minute she saw it. They clearly slapped on some toppings and threw it in the oven on broil so it at least looked a little brown on the top but the bottom was completely uncooked. I didn’t eat it and I didn’t even bother to complain. No one asked why I didn’t eat it, if it was good.. nothing. Incredibly disappointing. We won’t be back.
Ordered a gluten free pizza and my son loved it! Being outside of a city it’s hard to find good quality pizza that’s gluten free. I find this location takes pride in making their food! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good gluten free or non gluten free pizza or food!
The service was great (friendly and efficient) and the food was above average. They offer gluten free substitutions for limited items (bread, pasta, tortilla) for a charge, but have limited options for dairy free diet restrictions.
Best gluten free pizza ever, my husband was also very impressed with his meat lovers pizza. Very friendly and prompt delivery, pizza was still hot.. 🍕 Thank you Pizzatown 😊
Found this place with our noses when we walked the boardwalk a cold rainy day. Inviting atmosphere, friendly and engaging staff and warm comforting pasta. Gluten free penne with cream sauce was excellent as was the penne with Bolognese sauce. Finished the meal with an Americano and Tiramisu (to die for). If we ever get back to Halifax we will definitely stop in again!
Very unassuming sit-down and take-out restaurant, part of the local community for decades. Full menu specializing in pizza and donairs. Good deals, and good food. Some vegetarian options, along with gluten-free if needed. Family run, which seems not to happen much anymore. Always had a good experience ordering about 30 times over the years. Make it an option when you're hungry.
Most ingredients are made in store which is wonderful for someone like me with issues with prepackaged food. Also only gluten free pizza and cheesecake options in Windsor.
I got celiac disease and finding a good gluten free pizza is hard in the city. Ordered one from this restaurant tonight and I was very impressed . Loads of toppings, lots of sauce and the dough wasn't grainy or dry like most places . Best gluten free pizza in his city to date :)
We were staying at Inn on the Lake and they gave some recommended places that delivered. We called and they delivered it too hot to eat still, very impressive! Both the gluten free and regular pizzas were one of the better pizzas we've had. Recommended
I once belonged to the general group of Haligonians that has walked past this place dozens of times without thinking twice. I'm not part of that group anymore, and you shouldn't be either. Just the best pair of folks behind the counter; honest, charming, and know how to make a damn good pizza. Bonus: gluten-free crust available.
Excellent brightly lit cafe with charming details. Grab and go food, treats including a gluten free option, and the espresso is delicious. Warm service and good vibes
