Top 5 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Port Credit, Mississauga

Lauren Luz

I really appreciate an Italian restaurant that can so easily accommodate gluten & dairy free. I had a hankering for pasta and their "modified" smoked duck caprese/carbonara was just perfect. Cozy vibes & the wait staff was lovely!!

Really fun spot for a nice dinner out. The decor is cool and the windows look out over the marina in the credit river. We had the mushroom risotto and the goat cheese gnocchi, cheesecake and creme brule, and all were delicious. With wine and a shared appetizer and coffee, it came out to about $100/person. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and the overall vibe was great. Lots of vegetarian options and several items had gluten free alternatives (though we didn't try those so i can't speak for them).

Five star Quality, Quantity and Service This place is so good I ate most of the meal with my eyes closed as I entered a different ethereal plane of existence, that in order to get there, I had to consume inhuman amount of seafood ravioli. Only part of this is an exaggeration. I've now eaten here twice and each time I have been utterly blown away by the experience. Tony (owner, operator and head chef) provides an experience at Sorrano's you just simply can't get at any other restaurant. Firstly, when you make a reservation he greets you by name, not "7 o'clock". Second, when I called ahead to ask about gluten free options for my girlfriend who's celiac, he informed me that he's recently taken major steps to add gluten free/dairy free options to the menu. Tony makes a point to come over to the table to see first hand how you're enjoying the food.... and let me tell you, you're going to enjoy the food. When I say the portions are huge, I mean they're utterly preposterous. An entree at this restaurant could easily feed 3 adults.... you don't believe me? When we got home we weighted the take out container that had my girlfriends gluten free bolognese in it: it weighted 3.2lbs! Now you're probably thinking "well I bet you paid out of the nose for this" - the answer is no! This restaurant, for all of its clear and distinct advantages, costs no more than any other place on Lakeshore in Port Credit. Name another restaurant in the area where the head chef comes to your table, where the food is so good your very existence is transported from dimension to another, and where you're left so full you can't get up from the table and you need to cart off 3.2lbs of food to take home? Have you ever eaten at a chain restaurant and somewhere in the menu, some corporate big wig had to audacity to write "made from scratch" or "our homemade blah blah blah"? I've worked in big restaurant chains.... they're lying. My guy Tony? Yeah he made the spicy red pepper sauce from scratch, just like everything else... oh and the peppers? Yeah they're grown in his backyard. Now I can't be sure if I'm in a sound state of mind writing this review because I can't tell if I've come down from the high of Sorrano's food, in fact, I know I haven't because we had the bolognese for lunch. But I can say, that if you're not eating at this restaurant you're doing yourself a horrible disservice. If you've made it to the end of this review, I thank you - but more importantly - you should be calmly getting out of your chair, grabbing your coat and your keys, cancelling any appointments you may have, and messaging the group chat to meet you at Sorrano's. Your welcome.

We recently celebrated our legal wedding ceremony with a dinner at the Shore Grill and Grotto with a group of 13 and our pup. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience. Maureen and her team were able to set up a beautiful table and help set up a menu for our guests. Our seafood appetizers featuring calamari, mussels and coconut shrimp were delicious. Every one of our guests tried a different entree and everyone enjoyed their meal. Some fan favourites included the seafood linguine, penne gorgonzola and the chicken marsala. Some of our guests were vegetarian and gluten free, so it was also very nice that they had options. There even was a pup menu! The night was made especially special as there was a live band playing. It was just such a great meal and perfect setting. We definitely recommend this wonderful establishment for any celebration or just a nice (not too pricey) meal and a cold beer on the patio with your fur family. This place will always be one of our go-to Port credit spots and now hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you again to the Shore Grill and Grotto for hosting a memorable evening dinner for us!
