Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens Across Massachusetts

Vickie Johnson

Our family of 5 went and had a great meal. We started with the lobster ravioli appetizer and really enjoyed that! Then we had the carbonara (one with gluten free gnocchi), clams linguine, chicken parm, and chicken Alfredo. They did a great job with the gluten free meal- absolutely would get again. I could have shared- as it was too much! Everyone loved their dishes. We would certainly come back. Favorite meal of our trip. Service was very good. Our server checked on us regularly and food was brought out steaming hot! The place is small and narrow, but quaint, like most in that section of town. We had a nice cozy seat across from the brick pizza oven.

I love this North End staple. They make a small selection of dairy and gluten free items daily - a coffee cake, chocolate chip cookie, and whoopie pie. Like everything else, they are available until they sell out. The coffee cake is my favorite! The cookie is not the best in town, but still good and I appreciate having the option. The whoopie pie is best eaten fresh. I appreciate this long-time establishment having some options for those with food allergies.

We made a reservation for Sunday night before a show. Reserving online was easy and I noted a gluten free menu was needed. Day of, the hostess picked up immediately when I called to say we were running a few minutes late. We came in and were seated immediately - with one GF menu in hand. Waters were filled, and a server brought a basket off pop overs. Noting the GF menu, she came back with GF breadrolls for my mom. Waiter was nice, helped my mom choose wine. She got the lobster risotto and I had the fresh tortellini. Food was fast, tasty, and delicious. We were given fresh macaroons with our bill, and the server brought my mom a couple more GF rolls for the rode. Such a great experience! Thank you!

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

Chris Palermo

very busy & we were walk ins so I do recommend making reservations understandably our wait was a little long but were able to go to the bar for cocktails as we waited. but the Manhatten was delicious & food was Fantastic. Highly recommend the Linguine Con Vongole. party was also very happy with the gluten free options / Modifications

Kristin Knowlton

Very loud and a tad over priced. Best gluten free pizza crust in the area. Most, if not all the dishes I sampled needed salt, but otherwise delicious and excellent ingredients.

Noelle Ernst

Went here with my partner and his sister who are both gluten and dairy free. As many others have said, they are incredible with handling allergies. The siblings were so excited to go to an Italian restaurant and have plentiful options. They had the gluten free bread (more of a soft thin pita) with garlic oil, a pasta with meat, garlic oil, and veggies, and a gluten free pizza with various toppings (note they do not have a DF cheese). They said the meal was amazing! They also have a gluten free beer, which is always a hit when we can find one. I had the drunken lobster noodle which was sooo delicious. Huge portions and very kind staff. Managed to get a walk-in table on 4th of July. 10/10 would go again!

Ted Fitch

We visited for my dad‘s birthday dinner and it was a delightful time. Every dish was very tasty. I got the penne alla vodka gluten free with whipped ricotta on top (definitely worth getting!) - the orecchiette, chicken, Parmesan, and scallops saltimbocca were all very tasty. The zucchini fries were the perfect appetizer, the pesto aioli they came with was awesome. They also brought some limoncello shots and a beautifully plated Torta Di Chocolate for dessert. Definitely recommend coming!

Anna Diemer

Celebrated our fifth anniversary here while visiting Boston! I was so jazzed that the menu offered so many gluten free options. We enjoyed the oysters, mozzarella sticks (gluten free!!!), octopus, lobster, and bolognese. Finished with peach sorbetto. It is an investment but was absolutely worth the culinary experience. My partner’s fave was the octopus with crispy guanciale. Excellent drinks as well!

Jatila

Best Gluten free sandwiches we have had in a long time. Great selection of Gluten free menu items and frozen meals to take home.

Marcia Renner

Our experience at Libertine was excellent. The food was delicious. The gluten free options were outstanding. Sarah our server was very knowledgeable and so helpful not only for our dinner but our stay in Boston. Definitely recommend!

Marissa Gillis

Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.

Nicola Sampson

Amazing restaurant. Affordable. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Very accommodating with gluten allergy.

Paul Cannon

The veal and eggplant parm was AMAZING. These guys rival Mother Wolf in Vegas and have more gluten free options. This place is top notch!

Felicia Rodrigues

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA!! I was very thankful that this establishment had an option for gluten-free pizza especially since it's competitor Main street house of Pizza doesn't have that option. Overall I would rate this pizza a 7/10. The pizza was crispy but soft. I didn't like the sauce and chesse combination on that particular gluten-free dough. But again I'm thankful, it filled my stomach and made me happy. Most importantly, I didn't get sick. Staff is knowledgeable. Oh! And for 14 bucks it was great size portion. Try it out for yourself, you never know. Sincerely, Honesty

Looks and feels like your typical "house of pizza" but low and behold it is a gluten-free person's dream with so many delicious options which I love they're calzones!!!!

Daniel

The flavors are generally pretty complimentary and I am appreciative of the high-quality gluten-free pasta with celiac-friendly preparation. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired in two aspects: 1: the somewhat arrogant pricing 2: the customer conveyor-belt style service flow - they are trying to fit as many seatings as possible into each evening and do everything they possibly can to get people in & out in under an hour - seems a bit self-defeating when they are selling $65+ bottles of wine Worth it if you go in expecting to order light, get one drink, and move on. Definitely find somewhere else if you'd like to enjoy multiple courses and make an evening of it though.

Simone Bernstein

The chicken milanese and the strawberry tiramisu were delicious!! I also just heard that their Monday evenings are gluten free!! The private green room is outstanding!!

Corey Manley

Great gluten-free options

Debbie DeBotton

I have been looking for a really good gluten free pizza and checked many places but had yet to find one until the one I had at Papa Razzi. They can make any of their pizzas gluten free. I had the Melanzane with sauce. It was delicious. The crust is a bit thin but the flavor was wonderful.

Joel Minnick

Great GF options and very knowledgeable about cross-contamination! Food is excellent!

Samantha v

we had a great meal here! my son is celiac and we got the gf pepperoni pizza and gf arancini. they were delicious!

KAthy Bergeron

Run don't walk to Sibaritas on McKay st. Pittsfield. We.Celebrated my wonderful husbands birthday there tonight with friends and the food was the best I've had anywhere local. It far exceeds any other Italian restaurant like grazies, Masseo or Marios..I recently returned from Italy and the food at Sibaritas is on par with what I had there. Also, my husband is gluten free and his options are usually slim but he loved the fresh made pasta tonight. Most dishes can be made GF. Oh, and try the Lemoncello Spritz. We will be back!

Kimberly Wilkes

Found out about this place thanks to a random tiktok featuring their customizable cannoli bowls, something I had never heard of before. Upon entering, I fell in love with the tasteful and over the top decor and display cases full of beautiful desserts. I wanted to try everything and definitely got greedy going for the gluten free strawberry roll, lemon cello marscapone cake, and mile high signature strawberry cake. The cream is delicious and not overly sweet. The cannoli bowl can also be one of their signature combos including a peanut butter explosion and have things added on.

Sydney Erickson

They do have gluten free pasta which is nice, but the sauce wasn’t very good, not worth the price.

QFamily

Our server Vivian was excellent - professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food and wine were great too (as always). We really appreciate all of the gluten free options as well and the gluten free rolls are delicious.

I’m sitting here right now, and I basically never feel inclined to leave a review mid meal, but here I am. After less than a year of realizing I have a severe gluten intolerance, it’s been an adjustment, to say the least, and not a yummy one. This food about brought me to tears. Maybe it’s the long travel, but nonetheless, I find myself trying to savor every bite. They have a gluten free menu, which I decided to try the house made Ricotta (chips instead of bread), and the bolognese. I can’t. Every bite is amazing, and if you have a gluten allergy, you know what delectable pasta isn’t always easy to come by. Not to mention, I’m sitting by the bar and can hear the kitchen staff talking about the gluten dishes, grabbing clean pans, and ensuring they leave the hold window when they’re done. Just beyond what most restaurants do. I cannot wait to be back in town to come again. Oh, and the staff is just so nice and helpful, and everyone seems to just sincerely love their job! You know when the owners and chefs (and sous chef!) are named on the menu, they take real pride in what they do. Highly recommend!

Lisa H

Absolutely 5 star service. They were hustling! Gluten free options were great and prepared and identified safely and the food was incredibly delicious!!

Latania Knights

Highly recommend! Food, service and atmosphere was great! Was extremely happy that they offered lots of gluten free options. Love love love the women's bathroom decor! Would definitely come back!

Maria Figueroa

Looking for gluten free? Unos has a cauliflower pizza that I couldn't taste the difference. We go an XL Cauliflower Windy City with no shrooms or bacon. Tastes just like any regular thin crust pizza. So worth the try.

Leslie Carrio

Brought a large party in after my daughter's graduation. Service was fantastic, chef very willing to customize dishes, plus lots of options for our gluten-free guest. Well done!

Elle Troeger

I have a very thoughtful partner who put a lot of time into looking for a nice Italian restaurant in the North End for date night with the understanding that I will be looking for gluten-free options. I don't get very many one-star reviews. I'm not entirely sure who is at fault for my experience it could be someone who works in the kitchen it could be the server... I told them that I couldn't eat gluten due to an allergy. I was served a huge pile of wheat pasta. Do better, I guess. Mistakes happen. I do have a larger problem with the way it was handled after it was discovered to be a problem. I identified the error before putting food in my mouth and sent it back to the kitchen. When the food returned, it was literally the same dish and cut of meat but the pasta had been swapped out. It was evident that Lucia Ristorante did not value my safety. Aside from that, the gluten-free pile of pasta that I received had been cooked hours before and was lukewarm and gummy. Reader, I understand that gluten-free pasta is not the main focus of North End dining but this was the most vile gluten-free pasta I have ever experienced. As you can imagine that's kind of saying a lot. If that was all that happened I might actually give them another chance and just be really clear next time and provide boundaries up front about what is acceptable for a replacement.... except that the actual dish that I got was such salty dry Bland chicken. I have to say that the fried artichoke was really good. But a few fried artichokes on a dish full of vile pasta kind of eroded my trust to the point where I don't think it's worth trying again.

Great table service and delicious gluten free pizza. One of the best gluten free pizzas I have had in Massachusetts.

Samantha Heller

Pizza was very disappointing especially for the price. It was dry and the gluten free pizza was too bread like. I

Wonderful Food, Wonderful Customer Service Davio’s is a great place for a special meal, especially if one (like me) is allergic to wheat. They have wonderful gluten-free options while satisfying that steak-house craving. The soups and salads are superb, the special appetizers are excellent (I had the glute-free lobster gnocchi one night, and the lollipop lamb chops another), and the mains never let us down (steak, and cod on risotto). Also the cocktails are wonderful - I especially like that they have Keel Vodka available for martini’s. Keel is a local vodka with a lower alcohol, which is nice if one wants wine with dinner. And, most importantly, the customer service is great. A cautionary tale for all who enjoy dining out - if you are not happy with a meal or service - let the management know via a simple talk, a call, or an email. We went to dinner on a Sunday and our main took over 2 hours to arrive at our table, which we promptly had packed to take home (we were exhausted and no longer hungry). We paid our check (with a healthy tip, because it was not fault of the waitstaff), and left. I wrote to the management then next day, with a copy of my receipt, and an explaining the situation. I asked for nothing in return other than a response. I like Davio's, and I’m happy they are doing well, but I want to assure that my future meals are excellent even if it’s a busy night. I mistakenly assumed the glitch was that the kitchen could not keep up with individual diners as well as larger groups in scheduled events. I received a prompt response to my email and spoke to the general manager who told me that actually a lot of staff had called in sick with the flu/allergies that day. Even so, she acknowledged the lack of attention we received - with such delays, someone in management should have come to the individual tables to offer an explanation. She invited us back to make things right. We did return a few days later and had a wonderful meal. Obviously she’d spoken to the staff - as all were very attentive. And she comp'd us a few items off our meal, as a thank you for reaching out. The lesson: Never assume and never write a bad review before telling management about your concerns - it’s the kind thing to do, and the right thing to do. We will be back at Davio’s soon - the rose wine flights are a nice summer treat.

The food and beverage were delicious. They accommodated our gluten allergy. Our server Nicole was such a joy. She took care of us so well from start to finish!

Mich Besse

We had a gluten free pizza, and it was delicious. One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. They were also super nice and opened the window for us. Excellent service.

Franklin Regino

I know these days have been hot but ot was even hotter inside. We were literally sweating. Ordered a gluten free pizza and the crust was soft in the middle and crispy on the outside. Should have been evenly cooked. Everything else was just ok for pasta dishes. The seasoning can be improved.

David Yaskulka

Our large group thoroughly enjoyed. Food was delicious, service impeccable, and we especially appreciate the careful attention to gluten sensitivities.

Kelsey Thompson

Discovered this restaurant last night for a quick dinner and we will certainly be back! The quality of the food was excellent and the service was outstanding. I especially like that they have an extensive gluten free menu. I had the GF shrimp and scallop risotto, which was delicious, and a really excellent house salad. (So often, house salads are just a sad combo of a few greens and maybe one or two other vegetables; this one included green and Kalamata olives and small mozzarella balls, all dressed up in a wonderful balsamic dressing.) My husband had the lasagna with extra Bolognese sauce and was very pleased. I have a feeling we may become regulars.

Johanny Santana

Great place to go for dinner. The food comes out so quickly, is piping hot, and delicious! We ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop (sweet) and Gin Figgy Fizz (tart, think grapefruit). The Gnochi al Forno are amazing!!! We also ordered the fried ravioli, Tony’s a la vodka, and Caprese Chicken (gluten free) 🤤 Would come back again. Josie is great!

Brenda silva

This place was amazing. The Brussel sprouts amazing. The Filet Mignon, was outstanding. It was swamped and of course there were some jackals for customers, who didn't really understand a busy restaurant. We got it, it's August it's busy. The food was amazing, summer Primavera with shrimp and gluten-free pasta 😋. Our Server Ashley and Manager Missey, you're both great. Don't let the grumpy, out-of- stater tourists get to you. You both do a great job. Take it easy on them the spot is popular and busy.

Kathryn Sheehan

Love this restaurant. They do a great job handling allergies, lots of gluten free options!! The bacon wrapped dates are my absolute favorite!

We ordered three pizzas for delivery and only two were delivered. The gluten free pizza was not delivered. PZA uses DoorDash for delivery - their choice and one pays PZA directly. Upon the driver explaining they only received two pizzas and I watched the delivery driver the whole way and they came directly to the delivery address. I also checked the drivers car. I called the restaurant and the person the answered insisted they handed the driver three pizzas and would not honor the fact that three pizzas were paid for and only two made and delivered. The restaurant insisted it was a door dash issue. Again the restaurant contracts out door dash so there is no means by which to put in a complaint with door dash. The person that answered at the restaurant hung up on me the customer and become very argumentative. It does appear from other reviews this is a trend. Please don’t order from this restaurant for delivery they do not honor their customers orders and are extremely rude. UPDATE I have changed my review to service of 5 stars and included the fact that the pizza was very good. The owner contacted me directly and is making everything right. I would go back and recommend that with such high customer service that you should check them out if in the area.
