Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Explore in Montréal

The quality has declined in recent years. However, they do make gluten-free options that are safe for celiacs. Book in advance.

As someone with celiac, I must say eating here was amazing. The owner and wait staff assured me my food would be safe. Owners daughter has celiac. Only 3 items on the menu could not be modified to be gluten free. I even got a gluten free bun to start. (I usually just watch my husband eat the bread everywhere we go). There was 3 options safe for me for dessert as well. The Nutella Gelato was amazing. This was a wonderful experience during our stay in Old Montreal. Would highly recommend.

Food was absolutely phenomenal, as was the service, I would highly highly highly recommend. On top of that, they have an allergen free menu including gluten free with separate dishes to avoid cross contamination.

Bradley Klaver

Amazing pizza every time! Consistent, always fresh, and not shy with toppings. Plus they have delicious gluten free crust available and lactose free cheese for people with dietary restrictions! The servers are also very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing!! We ordered the gluten free Paesana Pizza and it was delicious! The service here is top teir and the atmosphere is beautiful. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and it was great!! Definitely recommend this place!

Annie Burton

Excellent service and food with gluten free options. They have a full understanding of celiac-I had some pasta.

Our group ordered pizza, pasta, and some gluten free items. The ambience is cozy groovy and classy, and the service was good! However, the star of the night was lacklustre. A common thread among us was that the food was bland, lacking seasoning and salt. A bolognese dish tasted purely of tomato, with very little meat. The carbonara, though perfectly cooked, lacked richness and flavour. Finally, the pizzas were both confusing and disappointing. The crusts are not the dough one might expect but rather a large pita bread. The result is an unfulfilling pizza cracker. For the price, many of us expressed feeling hungry even though we had had entrees as well as our main dishes, but we were unwilling to buy more. The portions are rather small. Also for some reason they kept increasing the music volume as the night got quieter which was headache-enducing. I must stress that the staff were wonderful and the service was good. I also commend their gluten free menu and their care to provide options for people with Celiac’s.

Pasta made fresh at the restaurant and the quality was outstanding in my opinion. I absolutely loved what I got: gnocchi with mozzarella and tomatoes in a pesto sauce. Cute space and really easy to hear each other talk even though there was music. The pizza looked good but none of us tried it, I like that there were cauliflower crust options and other gluten free options too if you need that. Also lots of veg options. We were served toasted bread and olives with oil and balsamic to start and they were perfect. I definitely recommend this place and especially before all those new condo developments bring in tons more people. We had two cars and were able to park right in front on a Saturday night.

We had a 7:30 reservation and when we arrived it was evident that the air conditioning was broken, as it was very hot in the entry and they had fans placed around the restaurant. The hostess didn’t mention address this in any way but seated us in front of a fan so the temperature was comfortable during our meal. We had cocktails (Lemoncello spritz and an Old Fashioned) and they were very good. My wife is gluten free and they offer a gluten free rice crust, so she ordered the Prosciutto and Fig on GF crust, I had the Four Cheese. The pizzas came out quickly and the crust on both pizzas were excellent. Usually gluten free crusts are thin and hard/crispy but this was very fluffy and authentic to a true Italian pizza crust - Amazing! We were a little surprised that the pizzas came did not have any “base layer” of cheese or white sauce; just the crust, goat cheese crumbles spread out, arugula, prosciutto, and fig jam sprinkled across it. The effect was that it was a little dry…basically a salad laid on a crust, but overall still good and flavorful. My four cheese pizza was excellent and very flavorful. The service was not very attentive, so it was hard to get their attention to ask for anything, despite being one of only about 3 customers. Overall, I would go back for the food, but would have had a better experience if the AC had been working and the staff had been a bit more attentive.

Food was delicious! My daughter is gluten free and they knew everything she could and couldn't have. The staff was amazing. Definitely be back.

Family restaurant with some gluten-free and vegan options.

El Pastaman lives up to its name. During our three-day stay in Montréal, we ate here the last two nights. My girlfriend suffers from coeliac disease, which is why we are always on the lookout for gluten-free options. El Pastaman offers gluten-free pasta. The pasta sauces are also gluten-free. I ate the "El Transparente" pasta with normal spaghetti. I have never eaten a better carbonara in my life. The sauce was perfectly balanced. The spaghetti was topped with crispy bacon, juicy pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spring onions and sprinkled with parmesan. It was real soul food. The taste is 1A. My girlfriend also liked it. On the second evening, I tried the spaghetti bolognese (El Rosso). This was also delicious, but couldn't even begin to compete with the delicious carbonara. Our recommendation is therefore: try the carbonara. The restaurant itself offers plenty of seating. You can come by without a reservation, which we really liked. However, the ambience was not the nicest (fans were running, electronic music was playing in the seating area and pop music in the kitchen - very confusing). But we would still eat here again at any time.

My partner and I went here for dinner tonight and I got to say it was an amazing experience. I got the gluten free margarita pizza and it was amazing. The dough is made fresh and the sauce is beautifully flavored. Our waitress was on top of it. She was great at her job. The creme brulee was also gluten free so it was a nice way to end the meal.

Bia Revez

Very good. Very tasty food. Restaurant with brunch and gluten-free pasta options. For the other dishes, you just have to remove the bread that comes with it. The price is a little higher than normal. Very friendly and attentive staff. I recommend it.

Stephanie Dion

I would call this an experience and a wonderful one that is! The service is on point and the staff make you feel at home. The venue gives you grandparent vibes in a nice way. I went for the MTL à table menu since they had vegan and gluten-free options. They started us off with bruschetta, and the plates kept coming. The minestrone was delicious and warming, the truffle and mushroom gnocchi was very good and generous portion, i would say you really need to love mushrooms. The brownie was more like a cake texture as it was on the drier side and not overly sweet which is perfect after a pasta meal. I loved that it had a lot of walnuts. The vegan icecream was just ok, I've had better. Overall great night and to top it of they gave us a rose when we left..how sweet!

Marie Larivière

Seriously it was the best gluten free pizza I have eaten. It reminded me of my trip to Italy even though it was gluten-free. It was excellent! And what about the Caesar salad which, although quite simple, was delicious.

Marc Khair

Amazing cozy spot. Good gluten free options for my coeliac girlfriend 👌🏻👍

Nice location, good food, friendly service, classy atmosphere. I would ask you to add gluten-free pasta and pizza on the menu please.

Mireille Martin

Very good understanding of allergies. My mother and I are coeliacs (gluten-free), and Marlène, our waitress, took the trouble to explain to us all the precautions taken in the kitchen, for allergies. The GF pasta was a little overcooked; Marlène noticed this and asked us if that was really the case. She offered to take over the dishes (which we declined) and welcomed with great interest the advice on not overcooking gluten-free pasta - it's not easy when you're a regular pasta restaurant. My friends who ate regular pasta said it was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend, especially for the service!

We discovered this amazing place and enjoyed their delicious fresh salmon ceviche, calamari, pasta, and pizza!

The food was a real disappointment (burrata and vegetarian pizza). Gluten-free pizza dough quickly becomes difficult to chew, although this is also observed in other establishments. Unfortunately, and undoubtedly exceptionally, our waitress had to be absent, leaving us without assistance. We had to get up to ask for coffees, which turned out to be very disappointing (double espresso and latte).

Alexandre Bougeard

The waitress was really attentive and knew her menu by heart. She was very accommodating in finding Gluten and Dairy Free solutions for my wife. Honestly, the pizzas are really excellent. And finally, we ate on the terrace one evening in mid-October, the little Chaufferette was very pleasant and added a cozy atmosphere. The music is soft and adds to the ambiance. I warmly recommend Pizzeria No 900

What you ask for is what you get. Tonight we had calamari as an entree and seafood paroadella pasta. Yummy 😋! Gluten free and so good. And you don't notice it's gluten free that how good it is. Having allergies is not ideal when going out for dinner or lunch. This is pretty much the best as far as gluten free goes. They don't have a 💯 gluten free kitchen however they know how to take care of you.

Exceptional Service and Food—Perfect for Groups and Allergy-Friendly! Elio Pizzeria went above and beyond for our group of 28! Despite our size, we were comfortably accommodated, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The kids raved about how delicious the pizza was—but for me, the real highlight was the care taken to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergies. The chef personally came out to discuss my dietary needs and prepared a special gluten- and dairy-free pasta just for me. As someone with food allergies, moments like this are rare and incredibly appreciated. I felt safe, seen, and truly taken care of. Highly recommend Elio Pizzeria for its incredible food, warm hospitality, and genuine commitment to meeting guests’ needs. A true gem!
