Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens Across Maryland

Abriel Mauerman

Went off the reviews others left about the gluten-free crust. As someone with celiac, quality GF options are far and few, and this place is now on that list. Yall, the crust is really that good! You don't feel like you're missing out just because you have to eat gluten free! You can order to-go and not get the first and third course.

We had a great experience here. My wife is gluten free and finding accomodating restaurants can be challenging. The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will certainly be back

I’d heard a lot about this restaurant and finally took my family there for Father’s Day lunch. Meh. Food is fresh but bland. And pretty overpriced for what you get. An appetizer of parm fries is $7.50 and we got maybe a handful. There’s a $6.50 up charge for gluten free crust pizza that’s on top of the regular price pizza for a 10” pizza! Yes. $25. That’s a lot. The crust was chewy but bland. The toppings were fresh but bland. No real flavors like herbs or garlic on the pizza. No olive oil to dip bread in. Just meh.

Always impressed by the fresh and creative weekly specials! The staff is incredibly friendly and well-versed in dietary restrictions… there’s no shortage of delicious gluten-free options! Mark is the friendliest bartender 🍷, and Luca is a thoughtful owner who ensures every visit outshines the last. A true neighborhood gem! 💎

First Gluten Free pizza that I've ever had that is actually delicious and well made. Thank you Tino's.

We thought this place was amazing. All the food was great. Service was top-notch! Pizza and hamburger were huge for the price, but the pasta dishes were quite expensive! We weren't mad though because of how delicious the food was! This place is a must if you are in the area. They can make anything gluten-free and have a great gluten-free menu.

Best gluten free pizza in Maryland. Crispy firm crust. Generous toppings. Cooked in its own pan to avoid contact in oven. Gluten free pastas and salad equally good. Staff could not be more attentive. Easy parking and festive atmosphere.

gluten free pasta was a mistake! ugh! grilled octopus spectacular! Sides were okay.

Julie Riddle

Gluten free larrydelphia pizza. Sssoooooo good

Fantastic Italian themed restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Great place for a family celebration or just a quiet dinner with your partner. Always wonderful service from the entire staff. Our son is Gluten Free and the chef comes out to talk with my son and ensure us that he is paying attention to his needs.

Courtney Kreiner

Such a great experience! They have re-done the inside and it looks great! the server was so freindly and she was very attentive. My family raved about the garlic knots that they bring to the table as bread service. I have celiacs, and let the server know when I ordered. Food was delicious, and its the next day and I feel great!

Michael Petrone

They have excellent gluten-free Pizza. Was there last night and we ordered two pizzas, forget to mention we needed gluten free. So they had to make two more and were really cool about not charging extra pizzas we couldn’t eat. It’s also a very beautiful space.

Gina Ciardi

Always receive great service. Love that there is a gluten free alternative pizza crust 🍕

Tammy Jarman

I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.

*Update: 12 hours after meal, still no gluten symptoms!* Very gluten friendly. Had a pizza. Our waiter, Diego, seemed knowledgeable about gluten issues and asked if it was an intolerance or an allergy. I'm pretty sensitive and I didn't have any issues after my meals. Will definitely be coming back! Not going to lie, I get sick most places that claim to offer gluten free pizza. NOT HERE! There are GF options that include entrees and salads in addition to pizza. Website mentions that they worked with the GIG (gluten intolerance group) to develop kitchen procedures, which is why we decided to go there.

I live nearby and frequent Zella’s very regularly. Their pies absolutely do not disappoint! Cheese is always excellent. Two or three crusts to choose from (including cauliflower and gluten free crusts) and many topping choices. Their bar is great, with draft beers, plenty of wine, and other beers/etc in the coolers. Bartenders are always friendly and engaging, and actually aware of neighborhood events! Baran, Rasul, and Luis are my favorites! The St. Magnus is my current favorite pizza! It’s so much deliciousness into one amazing meat salad 😂

Ryan Dize

God this place is so good. All the flavors of an Italian restaurant with a side dish carryout when you don't have time to eat in. Love this place. Also wife has Celiac and haven't had an issue with them. So wonderful to have gluten free options on pasta dishes.

Amy Warner

Food and service was amazing. Love that our waiter remembered that my sister had a gluten allergy throughout our entire dinner! Rockfish special was SO good

Joseph Butler

Stopped in here just last night while we were in Cumberland as part of a Pittsburgh to DC e-bike ride. What a great experience. The mussels appetizer was absolutely fantastic, with an excellent sauce for dipping bread once we were through with the mussels themselves. For an entree I did the Abruzzo Pork Ribeye, which was one of the best pieces of pork I have ever had. It was incredibly tender and absolutely a joy to slice right through. The cheese finish around it was excellent well. I was with my dad and he enjoyed the Lamb Chop lollipops, which were perfectly cooked. I was too full to even try the gluten-free cheesecake on the menu, but I have a feeling it would have been great. We ate at the bar, and the service was attentive and helpful but not overbearing. Highly suggest this place if you're in town.

The night was cold and miserable, but the moment we entered La Scala, all that was left behind. It is a warm and inviting environment where comfort food is the default option everywhere on the menu. My wife has celiac disease, and they handled that obstacle like a minor pothole in the road, even assured us that in a world Swimming in homemade pasta, their gluten free area was safe from cross contamination. We predictably eat well and have a wonderful experience every time we enter their doors.

We had a great meal here! We were a party of 5 on a Friday night and the service from Shannon was great! We started with their monthly wine special which was a steal at $35 for a reserve bottle of Montepulciano. I am gluten free and was offered housemade GF bread that was literally some of the best GF bread I have ever had. The menu also had many GF choices including salads, entrees, pastas and desserts. I chose Chicken Marsala with GF penne and it was delicious! The others at our table had lasagna. Chicken Parm, and a seafood pasta. For dessert, we had carrot cake, coconut pie and lemon dessert that was GF and the table favorite. For 5 people, bottled wine, salads, entrees and 3 dessert it was under $200-great value!

This was an absolute delight! We were looking for a place to eat near the Chesapeake Arena after my daughter's graduation. We stumbled upon Franco's and were not disappointed! We were a party of 9 and we were seated almost immediately. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! To add, they were able to accommodate 2 of our guests who had gluten allergies! They had their choice of pasta or pizza which made me love this place even more! Will definitely be visiting again!

Our server, Erin, made us feel like we were not a burden even though 5/6 of us were gluten free and three of us have celiac disease, typically rendering eating out very unsafe, if not impossible. Rafael, the chef on duty that day, came to talk to us and custom made pretty much all of our meals to ensure they were celiac safe. I want to shout from the rooftops so other celiacs will give Maggianos a try. It only took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, too. Custom made celiac safe Mac and cheese and he even made a custom sauce so that the chicken piccata would be safe for me (I have celiac and a corn sensitivity). I was so impressed and we all left feeling like it was a life changing experience to have such a nice restaurant to be able to go to when we want to go out to dinner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggianos Annapolis! We will be back over and over!!!

Kathryn Nordvedt

Gluten-free noodles with bone broth! I didn't even know that was a thing, but NOW I do, and so should you. Too bad I live so far from there.

Wendy Caputo

The restaurant location is a little obscure and a bit hard to find. Once we arrived, we were surprised by the diner like decor of the restaurant and how empty it was. Super super impressed with their ability to accommodate gluten-free options! We ordered appetizers and entrees - overall, the food was delicious, very well prepared, & good size portions. The kitchen turned around the food orders quickly. The service was definitely lacking. Our server was a bit nutty, had an attitude, and had to be reminded of segments of our order. Don't appreciate feeling like we are inconveniencing him for having a 7pm reservation. If that was later than he wanted to stay, then they should stop taking reservations beyond 6 pm. I don't think our expectations were high for service - just looking for our server to be nice. Eye rolling when taking our order is not professional nor respectful. While the food was great, I'm not sure we will return...too many good restaurants in the area that care about customer service.

Lynn Doc

The staff is EXCEPTIONAL AND SO VERY HELPFUL. The food is well prepared, delicious and plentiful. Some favorites are the wild mushroom appetizer and the amazing array of fish entrees and pastas. They also serve gluten free options. Try the chicken pesto pizza!

Horatio McDowney

First of all, don't believe that there are no Gluten Free options in Ocean City. This small, super clean, super nice restaurant does! Actually, they are a bit over the top, check the pics on my wife's spaghetti to go. It came with everything on the pics and the salad. (She said the bread was absolutely professional) My GF pizza is there too, which was pretty good. Great food and great service.

Nonna Angela's was very cozy! We got seated quickly- we didn't reserve ahead and were a fairly large party (5 adults and 2 small children) and although they had a reservation for about the same size coming up, they were able to seat us together for 1 hour. As a desisive group, we ordered quickly and received our food quickly. The service was great, and even with the time constraints we didn't feel rushed or anything. Our server was friendly and helpful! I appreciated having a clear set of options for Gluten Free, so I was able to pick a meal without having to ask a bunch of questions. And the food was fantastic! I enjoyed a Gluten Free Penne Mamma and my husband enjoyed a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Our kids had spaghetti with meatballs and a chicken tender meal. Our family really enjoyed our visit! I will definitely go back!

My wife and I were in town on a short business trip and decided to try Gregorio’s. The entire experience was stellar, my wife is on a gluten free diet and their menu has dozens of options. The food was fantastic, big shout out to Melo for his hospitality as well as giving me the tiramisu and cheesecake since I couldn’t make up my mind. Highly recommend!

I organize a dinner group and we are at 3.5 years now for the 4th Tuesday of every month! I am glad I picked the Olive Grove for Feb. 25th! We started out at the bar with our party of six. We all had wonderfully made beverages by Britany. As it got closer to 7:30pm she offered us a table in the bar area which worked out perfect. (and a great view of the Caps game!) One person in our party has a gluten allergy and she knew ALL the options of what could be done to accommodate him! Even gluten free pasta! He ended up with GF crab cake and loved it! Britany was very on top of things and was able to split our bills with no issues. Everyone enjoyed their meals!! We'll be back for sure. Personally I will say that my crab cake & string beans were lukewarm as best. That could be improved upon. The decor is dated and could use some updates. The old holiday lights on the patio need to be removed. Curb appeal is everything! Thanks again - and like I said we'll be back!

Gayle Dillman

A really lively, fun restaurant for dinner. Food was very good, some gluten free options available.

Odalys Duarte

Best gluten free pizza and wings!

Marie Aliese

Gluten-free pasta gets overcooked which is why I specifically asked for “al dente” and I got a mushy mess instead

Barbara Huguley

Reeti Goyal

Great food, lots of gluten free options

Dawn Long

Love the food and the service. The servers hustle and never leave you waiting. One of the best cheese steaks around with the BEST toasted roll. The crab pretzel exceeded our expectations. They also have gluten free options.

Krios

Ordered a gluten free pizza with sausage, mushrooms and olives. 23 dollars for essentially a small pizza with 3 toppings. Come home right across the street, pizza is soggy, hardly any meat at all on it. Overall disappointed with what I got for that price. I would maybe understand if it was busy, but it was dead. Just frustrating because the pizza has been on point in the past. Anyways, maybe it was a flop, but I kinda wished I had driven to Rocco's in Annapolis at this point.

Anaida Medina

Not much gluten free food but our server was The Best!

Chris Brown

The place has great atsmophere. All the staff are friendly and provide great service. The food is Excellent and they also off gluten free options and are very good with handling celiacs.
