Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! You can sprout a new love for gluten-free eats at this local cafe, and you'll hardly miss the gluten. The sandwich is as satisfying as it looks, with ingredients that come together to deliver a delicious bite where basil is the star. They also have a mini side salad, but I opted for an orange almond cake too, and the citrusy addition pairs nicely with the sweet, nutty almond base.

Myself and another coworker along with three people we support had dinner at this location. We sat on the patio. My experience at a different Scaddabush location was not that great so I was apprehensive about eating at this location. But it was the best decision we made and that was because Mark our waiter made sure we had a great experience. Mark was Awesome! He was friendly, patient, accommodating and was just over all a great person It was also great especially for the gentleman with us who eats gluten free. Thank you so much Mark! Keep smiling! Keep being Awesome! We appreciate you!

I wish I had taken pictures of my food everything was incredible! Our server, Sabrina was very friendly and helped my fiancé and I navigate the menu. This was one of the most gluten free accommodating places I’ve ever been. I wish I lived closer so I come back!

We had a fantastic dinner experience at ZOLAS last night with our family of four, including one gluten-free diner. The menu offered plenty of options, and our server was super attentive and provided great recommendations. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and delicious! We took advantage of the $75 Wednesday night deal, where you get an appetizer to share, individual mains, and a dessert to share for every two people. What a great value! The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend ZOLAS to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

Gluten free crust is amazing! Loved the place

Great celiac selections

Leigha Schuster

Food was excellent, there was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. The staff was super helpful and the waitress even took a picture of the ingredients list on the ice cream to help my sister make sure it didn't contain any of her allergens. They have gluten free options for pizza and pasta which is good. It was super busy on a Saturday night but the way it's divided into rooms keeps the noise manageable so you can still have a conversation without shouting

Love it here. It’s so cozy. Lots of their little treats and baked goods are gluten free and I believe they are all vegan. Their brunch menu is good too! Very generous portions. They always play the perfect cozy calm music, you can reserve a table which I would recommend doing on the weekends. I’m the warmer months they have some patio tables out on the sidewalk to watch all the Locke street dogs walking by. The banana bread is 20/10. I also love their matcha oat latte with strawberry syrup.

Maureen Carter-Whitney

Delicious multi-course lunch with creative and tasty food. Loved the Roma salad, calamari and salmon entree - all perfectly prepared. The gluten-free pizza was excellent - one of the best I’ve tried! Lovely space and warm service.

Katie R

I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and knew their stuff. Plenty of GF options. One of my best restaurant experiences since being diagnosed. Food was good and service was great.

Ben Kidd

Excellent gluten-free pasta, possibly the best gluten free pasta in the city.

Stef Spilios

Food was delicious! I’m gluten and dairy free and they were super accommodating! Gluten free pasta with no dairy it was great! Even had an amazing Cesar salad without parm or croutons. Did not expect this for a sit and order spot. Atmosphere makes you feel like you’re actually sitting in a restaurant but it’s so affordable (Pasta $13 + $6 protein pre-tax). Staff are so kind and friendly, food was prepared quickly and without errors. Music is a great vibe and it’s very clean. Definitely coming back!!

Jess S

Great pizza and pasta! Also have awesome gluten free pizza!

Went in toray with my kids and husband to celebrate my 29th birthday and joe was amazing not only did he make us feel great he accommodated towards my daughters celiac diease and would double check on everything for her

Lynn-Marie Shapcott

We had a Christmas get-together with our bowling group on December 19, 2024. The staff are amazing 👏, they went above and beyond service! The chef expressly made my own plate of gluten-free nachos 😋 THANK YOU! Love Chances R Lynn-Marie Shapcott Kanata

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

Sara Lei

Love the atmosphere and the food. Lot of options for people who are gluten free

Raminder Dhaliwal

Hidden gem, love it. So many gluten free options!!! Thank you for having this. They even have gluten free ravioli and garlic bread

Mollybedenim

Sasha gave us wonderful service and our food was amazing! We had a friend with celiac with us and they accommodated her very well!

Claire Branigan

We had Sabs as our server and she was so lovely and helpful with my gluten free restriction and found me something that I would enjoy!

Nive Pandit

Amazing food..freshly prepared bread. Gluten free options available. Delicious taste. The only reason i gave 4 star and not 5 is because the pasta (ordered gluten free) was under cooked.. the reason that they gave was it was because its gluten free, its texture feels like its undercooked..wasnt convinced.. coz i have had gluten free pasta before. Would have appreciated if they just accepted that it was undercooked.

Beth Green

The most incredible food and drinks. The GF ravioli is seriously delicious and the gluten free cauliflower “Enzo” pizza is to die for. Fantastic GF options. Our server, Nick, was beyond amazing - kind, professional, and fun. We can’t wait to go back.

Wai-Lee Lau

We had a great experience. Service was great. Food was yummy. There was a dessert flight at the end. We had a couple of food allergies and gluten intolerance and they were very accommodating.

Andrew Keenan

The ceci alla zozzona is an absolute must! A mix of all the great Roman pastas but its chickpeas and gluten free? This is a game changer!

Sarah Beal

Amazing experience here, the food, the drinks, the customer service and attentiveness from the waitstaff is a breath of fresh air! Our server Brie was a complete sweetheart and took outstanding care of us, making sure that my food allergies (celiac disease) were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, fun, lively atmosphere with delicious food and a waitstaff who cares! Your food allergies are safe here, you won’t have to worry about a thing!

Nadia Suleiman

Cute place, good gluten free pasta

Leah Armstrong

Marley was the sweetest!!!!!! And we had THE BEST GLUTEN free pizza I have EVER had. 100% 10 stars

Ben Kidd

Sincerely the best gluten-free pizza I have ever had.

Jasmeet Sachdeva

Ordered a couple of gluten free pizza. The taste wasnt great. The pizza base wasnt fresh and was very hard.

Francis Nasca

This is the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! They are very friendly and accommodating when we dine with our wily toddler. #ContestEntry

Melissa Mallari

First time dining at Rustica - awesome experience. Our party of 5 sat on their beautiful patio, decked out with plants and flowers. Our server Thomas was fantastic. Very knowledgeable with all our questions and made great recommendations. Everything was incredibly tasty, highly recommend the sweet chili nduja pizza and cacio e pepe! One celiac in the family loved the gluten free gnocchi, too. Will definitely return next time in Orillia. Thanks, Thomas!!

Sierra

We used to come here all the time - and it was great. Then last year we went and I noticed the gluten free pizza did not taste the same as it had. Took a break from Caro, then decided to give it another go, and it is disgusting. The gluten free dough *was* the best in the city (I’ve been gluten free for 10 years and tried many places), and it appears they changed the dough. Not sure why they would change it because the last 2 times it has been horrible. Couldn’t even finish a slice. Very disappointing! Will not be returning, and I no longer will be recommending Caro as a gluten free option

Claire Filion

Fantastic gluten free pizza! Best I've had yet. Can't wait to go back to try their gluten free pasta...if I don't have pizza again. Tough decision.

Sabrina

I have come back to this restaurant multiple times. The service is amazing, the owner is wonderful and the food is delicious! They have a lot of gluten free options and I think it just adds to how wonderful this place is. They have a view is stunning as well and I highly recommend it for a date night or intimate dinner.

We came on Friday night. The restaurant was full capacity and with all that the service was top-notch and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Btw, the gluten-free pizza is the best one I've ever had.

Karyn Tindall

Love this place. Gluten free pizza Sofia was outstanding

Sarah E.

Ich hatte eine gf Pizza zum mitnehmen - sie war super! Knusprige Kruste wie bei „echter“ Pizza, leckerer Belag. 5$ Aufpreis für gf, insgesamt hat sie mich ca 23€ gekostet. Das ist natürlich nicht wenig, aber für Kanada normal und sie war so groß wie alle anderen Pizzen. Ach ja, sie wird in einer Extra Pfanne zubereitet, könnte also auch für Zölis funktionieren.

Scott Dobbin

Great food, especially since my girlfriend is gluten free. We loved the pizzas and the drinks were amazing

Kevin Gorospe

With how much Canada has changed since I was young, it's good that a place like The Old Spaghetti Factory survived the nonsense of the last 5 years. I met Beth after her work yesterday to enjoy the day, and we found our way to a Toronto icon. The nostalgia hit in a positive way. This place is like a time capsule: the old world Toronto esthetics, with the 3 course meal (soup/salad, main, ice cream) experience and the warm staff. Beth and I were extremely lucky as our server Mégane was hard working, fast, friendly, and personable. I honestly wish you the best in your desire to pursue acting as a profession. Always a smile and upbeat when in the carousel area you were serving. The other staff were working hard, but Mégane you were aces. The food was great. When chatting, we liked some of the options like there is a "factory size" for a modest upchage to make the portion bigger. There were some selections where you can get a gluten-free version for a reasonable charge for those who desire or need that. Who knows how Canada is going to look the next few years, but I do encourage enjoying the classic spots while we have them. #mabuhay ≈===============================≈ #everydayisablessing #singleinstructionlivekind #carryupthestruggling #foodisalovelanguage #DINNERWITHMYBESTIE #notasponsor #supportlocalbusiness #iconic

The service was great the waitress was super nice and related to my gluten allergy. We got the calamari and tiger shrimp and for a main I got the Linguini de Mare and it was all so good but Oh My god the bread. If you come here get the bread. if you have leftover sauce get the bread. I have never had as good bread in my entire life. My gluten allergy could never hold me back from this bread. My stomach hurt so bad after (because of the allergy not the quality of the food; food quality was great) but it was so worth it and I would go back just to get that exact same meal again. Everything was 10/10 but the bread was the best bread I ever had in my entire life

Jaime Boudreau

Food, service and atmosphere is fantastic! I went here with a group of 6 for dinner. Our server was great and the food was delicious! They also were very accommodating to someone in our group who is celiac and had lots of choices for her.

S K

Very good Italian cuisine. The service is exceptionally fast and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. I only wanted a few minutes between the salad and the main course, which was a bit too quick for me personally. It was very clean and the ambiance was nice.

Trevor Dell

Great spot for lunch! Accommodates gluten free with perfection

heather mcfadden

We dine at Il Fornello Ajax often. Food is consistently delicious. Service is always amazing as are the staff. So glad this restaurant is located in our home city. Great place to eat. Gluten free and vegan options too if you have friends or family with any dietary restrictions. Can book reservations online on TBDINE or Can order for pickup or delivery as well Always a great experience here.

Sarah Freia

As someone who is gluten free, and who often tries to minimize my dairy consumption, I am appreciative of Defina’s offerings! This pizzeria has gluten free bases, as well as well-thought out vegan toppings (they do change up). The gluten free dough is very good. It’s more fluffy as opposed to flat (I prefer this Neapolitan style of pizza). What I like most about Defina is their creative toppings. There really is something for everyone here! You want a regular margarita? Got it. You want a lot of cheese? Got it. You want chicken wings? Somehow - got it! The service has also always been friendly, attentive, and willing to talk me through my dietary needs. I also like the more intimate atmosphere, which makes it perfect for a date (friendship, romantic, or even self-dating). For a creative pizzeria that caters to multiple dietary restrictions, head over to Defina!

Alisha P

The food was good and the gluten-free options were great. It was definitely one of the better gluten-free pizzas I’ve had. I liked the amount of pepperoni on my pizza and the spiciness of the pepperoni. We also ordered the amalfi coast spritz cocktail, which was really good. Our waiter was super friendly and very helpful with the allergies in our group. The best part is the view though. I don’t like sitting outside so we sat inside and you still get a full waterfront view. It was honestly so beautiful I wanted to sit there forever. I ordered a cappuccino at the end and that was also surprisingly really good.

Bill Lakie

Yum!! This place was terrific. I went there with a couple of friends that were gluten intolerant and we were wondering how many options they would have. There were plenty of options for them. I enjoyed my pear pizza. It was one of the best I have had in awhile. Surprisingly the bread cooked and served in the terracotta pot was fantastic. It was warm and what a neat presentation. If I am back in the area I will definitely be going back.

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
