If you’re EVER near Denver, this is a must stop. I live in Colorado Springs and have already warned my partner that their gluten free Nutella pizza will be a pregnancy craving in the future we’re def driving for. 😂 They use gluten removed wheat starch from Italy (celiac safe but not safe for a wheat allergy) and separate prep areas and ovens for gluten free orders. Their fried eggplant is also one of the best meals I’ve ever had from a restaurant. They do have vegan cheese options too.
We had breakfast there twice while staying at the hotel. The service is excellent and the Eggs Benedict was amazing. The use polenta instead of bread and proscuitto instead of the more traditional Canadian bacon. I would like to go back and try dinner here as the ambiance is really cool. Big windows facing the street. I am Celiac and they have lots of Gluten Free options in addition to a dedicated GF prep space. They take it very seriously and I was safe here. The bar area is really cool on the corner of the building.
I can’t over emphasize how amazing our time was here. We let them know in advance it was our wedding anniversary and there wasn’t a single staff member we interacted with that didn’t make a point to tell us “Happy Anniversary.” - it was so lovely! They even gave us a special Anniversary menu!
Every single sip and bite was exquisite. We’ve been to Italy and we’ve eaten true Italian food- this is the real deal. But what really seals this as a “must go” is the service. Brittany, our server, was so amazing. She made us feel welcome and appreciated. She was extremely knowledgeable and truly elevated our experience. Brett and Connor were both extremely helpful as well. Connor was our sommelier recommending the perfect bottle of wine in our price point. I nearly forgot to mention that I’m gluten feee and Brittany made sure that everything I ate was safe. She knew the menu top to bottom.
Overall, 11/10 ❤️ Brittany tipped the scale!
Spectacular food! The staff were super friendly and attentive and were able to accommodate for a severe gluten allergy. We had the Vodka Penne (with gluten free pasta), and the sausage french bread pizza. Both were really tasty, lots of flavor. We also ordered one of their gluten free cannolis and a piece of strawberry cheesecake to-go and were very pleased with both. I am not gluten free but my wife is, and her pasta and cannoli didn't taste any different from traditional recipes! I would actually order it myself. The restaurant had a cool atmosphere. It's a pretty small place (only 10 or so tables) with family photos on the walls.
Don’t bother with this place, you’ll leave with an empty wallet and stomach.
We’ve been wanting to try Restaurant Olivia for a while and it was disappointing to say the least. We spent $200 (for two people) on bad food. The service was great, but the food is way overpriced, teeny tiny portions, and everything was super salty. The jovial gluten free pasta that you can buy at the grocery store is 5million times better than their “homemade” gluten free pasta. We literally had to go to chipotle after because we were starving. Worst food we’ve had in a long time, so sad.
This is a tale of two dinners. Had it just been my dinner, this would have been 5 stars all the way. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
My wife, who has celiac, loved her peach salad, but absolutely disliked their version of a gf pizza. By the time service got back to us for a check in, I was already done with my meal. They did make it up to us with free dessert, but we do wish she had been able to try the gf pasta.
I can say the elk bolognese, the pumpkin cheesecake, and the bone marrow appetizer were all out of this world. As mentioned, my wife started with the peach salad and she thought it was delicious and a unique interpretation of the dish. The drinks were also fabulous, though they took way too long to get when we were sitting right next to the bar.
All in all, a great meal, and we will be back to see if we can bump it up to a five all the way around.
What an amazing restaurant this is! I have to eat gluten-free and their pizza was absolutely amazing! Not only that my daughters told me that’s the best pasta that they’ve ever had! And just when I thought the food was amazing, I experienced the amazing service! I absolutely would recommend eating here. Thank you to the manager for taking care of me with my dietary needs as well
Good food and service. Food was over-salted. Atmosphere a bit crowded with so many tables but we were happy to get in and did enjoy our meal. Gluten friendly!

We had Maddox as our server last night! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through the menu as my husband is celiac! The food was amazing and they had a huge selection of wine too. Definitely coming back for their happy hour!
I had dinner here last week and I really struggle to eat out because of my celiac. Because of this I am typically really anxious when explaining my disorder to waiting staff. Chrissy was the one serving me, and she made the entire process so easy. She listened to all my concerns about food contamination, and informed me about the kitchen policies about food contamination. She was so knowledgable and kind throughout her service. She checked on us frequently to ensure we were okay and had everything we needed. The GF Sausage and Peppers was great, but Chrissy made the entire experience. I will be asking if she is working the next time I come in!
The gluten free crust is some of the best I've had anywhere (not just in Denver), you honestly cannot tell it's GF (it's not the thin cardboard stuff you get at some places). I will happily pay the extra $6 for that. The ingredients are also very fresh tasting. Highly recommend
It’s always great here! My kids had spaghetti and meatballs and pizza, I had a gluten-free pizza, it was all excellent, and the service was great. It’s clean, super comfortable, good vibes, great specialty pizzas and gelato.
We tried dining here on Saturday night, but came to find out when we were seated that there's like a half page manifesto about not handling any allergies (not dietary preferences - actual anaphylactic shock inducing allergies). Their menu explicitly states "do not eat here, it's not worth the risk." Well, you don't have to tell us twice! We found food elsewhere.
As an aside, pretty much every other restaurant in Denver can handle this kind of request with modest hygienic kitchen practices. Some restaurants are excellent and proactive about it. Even some cocktail bars ask about allergies now! But hey, that's your choice I guess.
So, we decided to leave a mostly-positive (4-star) review to let other allergy-havers know not to come here. After all, they're very clear about not wanting you to eat here! We thought we'd spread the word while not impacting their Google rating too much.
For daring to leave a review with 4 stars, about a policy on their menu that they wrote, the owners decided to respond with an absolute tantrum. Check the other reviews - we're definitely not the first people to enrage these psychos. You did an excellent job of making an enemy out of people who would otherwise at least stop in for a glass of wine or a cocktail.
So, enjoy your multiple 1 star reviews from everyone in our party, instead of the single 4-star review you would have gotten. You really earned it!
Do not give these people your money.

Edit: Again, see the completely normal response from the owner 😂. I don't have a gluten allergy - someone in our party has a tree nut allergy. And again, that's fine, we can eat elsewhere. We appreciated the warning on the menu. We just wanted to leave a review letting other allergy-havers to also dine elsewhere. That's what you want, right?
The seafood was excellent! The PEI mussels tasted super fresh. The alcohol-free wine was great too. We had a wonderful evening. Not bad for a gluten-free Italian meal! The staff are very accommodating and welcoming.
We are new to White Pie. It was a delicious surprise. The New Haven style, wood fired pizza is superb and the menu offers all home made, hand crafted fresh food. The salads are a meal for one or two or the larger size is enough for a group to share. There are vegetarian and gluten free options and items can be altered slightly to become vegan. The staff are excellent and attentive, The large open room seems as though it should be loud yet it has a comfortable blend of music and conversation is easy. There is a lovely out door open patio as well. Nice for a date, family meal or solo delight.
The most welcoming, kind and compassionate team and management in Denver! They are very deserving of your business! Their gluten free crusts (yes, plural!) are great, good dairy free cheese, they have GF bread for their sandwiches, and their salads are generous!
It is rare to find an Italian restaurant that rises above the mediocrity of fast casual pasta chains claiming to have perfected the taste of Italy. Cattivella makes no claims or boasts about itself. It simply delivers an epicureal exploration of painstakingly crafted flavors. They accommodated my gluten allergy with house made pasta that does not skimp on flavor, texture, or experience. Cattivella has been on my list for a while and I am glad we finally made it in. We will definitely be back.
The margarita pizza awakened my taste buds this evening. The waiter, Eric made sure to read off all the gluten free options in detail when I asked. I am thankful for this so I don’t appear like a whale after dinner. Eric served up good food and good vibes. Will be coming back. 5/5 stars fo sho
Had some friends in town and quickly googled breakfast found Macis nearby. Saw that they had gluten free options for my girlfriend. We all ordered different paninis and they were allll great. The owner was awesome and real friendly. I’m so glad we ended up stopping in and will definitely come
Decor is overwhelming. Staff is not very attentive. Food was meh. Only one choice for gluten-free pasta, but they won't tell you that it's only boxed penne and claim "it's made the same way" as the dish you ordered. Lemon butter was tasteless.
Have to say went thinking it would be great to hang out and eat some pizza. Since we are gluten free there is a limited but good option. Restaurant was cold and unwelcoming. Decided to get food to go and eat in the car.
Viale Pizza & Kitchen on South Colorado Boulevard is a surprising gem, especially for its strip mall location.
From the moment I walked in, the cozy, inviting atmosphere stood out. Their Denver Diavola pizza hit the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and the braised lamb pappardelle was rich and indulgent—two dishes I can’t wait to order again.
What I really appreciated was their attention to dietary needs. Their gluten-free pizza and pasta options were a welcome find, showing they care about making everyone feel included.
With friendly service and consistently great food, Viale feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you’d keep coming back to—unexpected in its setting, but delivering far beyond expectations.
I love that this is a full service restaurant within the Warwick hotel! I am gluten free and LOVE the gluten free pizzas! Always cooked to perfection! The service is quick, friendly and attentive! Bartender is always smiling, laughing and joking around making for a fun light hearted environment! Definitely recommend this place for any locals and/or travelers!
This place appears to be a family run business and the food was seriously the best Italian food we’ve had in Denver and for my celiac disease, their gluten free pizza dough was extraordinary and not something you would think to be so good! My husband had the chicken Parmesan and his house made sauce hit a home run! The portion size was excellent for the quality you get! Do come and dine in for this gem!
I was on the hunt for gluten-free options and was thrilled to find such wonderful food! Our last evening in Denver was all about de-stressing and unwinding, and this place truly delivered. We opted for share plates, enjoying some delicious gluten-free grilled cheese and bruschetta boards. The wine I had was fantastic, and my partner loved the no-alcohol IPA. It was the perfect way to wrap up our trip! Highly recommend! 💗
Great place! We celebrated my husband's birthday there. The food and the menu amazing - simple, but yet exquisite! There are gluten free and vegetarian options! The staff was super friendly and knowledgable! Strongly recommend!
Great food and a thoughtful waiter & chef who accommodated my dietary requirements. There was one pasta which they were able to do gluten and dairy free for me and it was perfect :)
We’ve been going to Lo Stella for years, and had Christmas Eve dinner this year. Everything was even better than usual. We ordered mostly seafood and pasta. Way above average. We even tried the gluten free pasta. Could only get one type of noodle but you couldn’t tell it was gluten free. Thank you for another great evening.
This place is so cute and gives, the neighborhood spot to eat at vibes. The staff was so friendly and we really enjoyed our dinner. What struck me most is I am gluten free and their gluten free bread was amazing. Will definitely be back to try the pizza next time.
Great find and wonderful! Made in house gluten free pizza crust was impressive! Almost all items on menu have a gluten free option! High quality ingredients and great atmosphere! Will be back!! Burrata with rhubarb a must too!! Homemade limoncello spritz-yes please!!
Awesome little local gem! Everything tastes fresh and homemade, and the service is fantastic. I ordered a gluten free pizza and the woman who took my order was careful to make sure it didn’t come in contact with any flour. Definitely a new favorite!
Very quaint, cute spot that takes reservations! Amazing food with solid gluten/ grain free options (can sub zoodles or spaghetti squash for pasta - hefty portion!). I had the Bolognese. I think it’s important to remember that our restaurants are having hard times right now! Yes, we did have a little confusion with the staff and our reservation but it got sorted out. The staff was genuine and cared. If you’re in a hurry, go elsewhere! We are grateful we can go out to eat and support a local place.
Celiac friendly
