I ordered a “sicilia” explicitly asking if there was tomato sauce on it, the waiter said yes. They brought a pizza with no tomato sauce, only cherry tomatoes and eggplants. I asked to add tomato sauce and they added the sauce from the can without even heating it up again.
Also way too expensive for the service and quality of food. Not many vegan options. +5 for gluten free is too much
Good overall, good gluten free pasta. But I find it to be a bit over-rated. Desserts are not that good. Flavor is always off. They’ve messed up my delivery orders multiple times with no attempt to make it right.
This place is a great Italian restaurant to go to for gluten free pasta! All their main dishes can be made with substitute gluten free pasta. Came here with my celiac friend and she was very happy to be able to choose. The ricotta ravioli were good, but I would mainly come back for the octopus appetiser! Cozy place, good service. Had a really nice time!
The gluten free crust is very tastey BUT unfortunately this place is not celiacs safe. I’ve had the pizza here many times and I always get sick. Cross contamination is unavoidable which makes sense for a pizza place.
I cannot recommend LaRina highly enough for large parties with dietary restrictions! 10/10 experience! In our party of 7, we had someone with celiac, a shellfish allergy, and a severe nut allergy. They were super accommodating and all the staff was very knowledgable about which allergens were in which dishes. They made gluten free pasta for the person with celiac and wiped down the meat cutting machine before cutting out prosciutto so that the person with the nut allergy could eat it. Atmosphere is lovely, staff is friendly and food is delicious! Thank you LaRina!

Great place definitely recommend reservations it gets crowded pretty quickly. If you have a gluten intolerance this is the place for you I have ordered the pizza twice and it’s absolutely delicious! unfortunately I don’t have any photos to share.
I'm celiac, so eating out can be stressful. Pasta Louise took such good care of me. They have amazing gluten-free pasta made in a separate area and took precautions. I had no reaction and enjoyed the exquisite food, service, mocktails, and ambiance. It's definitely going to be a go-to spot!
Great service and fantastic pizza! I also tried my husband’s gluten free pizza and it was one of the best I’ve ever tried. I would honestly have been happy to share with him which never happens! Would absolutely recommend Piz-zetta 10/10
I had an outstanding dining experience tonight. From the food to the service and that the noise level was wonderful. We were able to talk and hear each other which doesn’t happen as much anymore. Food outstanding I’m gluten and dairy free many options on the menu. I highly recommend Scottadio.
Coming here is so nice for an easy lunch or dinner when you don't feel like cooking or you're on the go. Im gluten free and their gluten free pasta is pretty good. For people who can eat gluten they even have free bread. I like seeing all the fresh pasta and I need them to have soup all the time, not just in the cold months.
Found this restaurant looking for gluten free options for friends. The ambience is so welcoming and yet intimate. Food was excellent, my gluten free friend enjoyed her meal as well. Would def recommend this place!
So good that we went twice on our short visit to Brooklyn! Some highlights:
- tons of options for gluten-free folks or anyone with food sensitivities
- incredibly kind owner
- best gelato my kids had ever eaten
- authentic New York pizza
- fresh, beautiful salads
- cozy, warm atmosphere
Hearty Italian with extremely friendly and accommodating service. All our dishes were excellent in terms of taste (including gluten free pasta which they paid extra attention to if there was gluten in the meatballs - thank you!), and were very generous in time of size. I'd recommend considering splitting a dish! It is cash only and marked clearly as such IMO. We definitely would love to come back as it feels like the family type of Brooklyn vibe we appreciate. A great spot in Brooklyn Heights!
My experience from making a reservation, the staff, food presentation, desserts was EXCEPTIONAL! Let’s start here. THE SPECIALS. Read them. Fantastic! If they don’t spark for you, go with the signature dishes, shrimp and beans. Penne with the escarole and breadcrumbs. (If you want gluten free - TELL THEM) the grilled chicken marinade with string beans or broccoli rape. WHATEVER. THERE IS NEVER A BAD MEAL THERE. Desserts. Afogato! A MUST. Tiramisu. Beautiful. The drinks….Amazing. Thank you GINOS FAMILY!
It's hard to find a restaurant that is reliably excellent, especially with great ambience. My husband and I come probably once every month or two. Nearly every dish we've ever had has been absolutely delicious. Nothing has been bad. The menu changes, but at the moment the artichoke salad and the beet salad are fantastic. The pappardelle with oxtail ragu is excellent. They have gluten free pasta and understand cross-contamination - I have celiac disease and have never felt sick after eating here. The butterscotch budino is one of my favorite desserts out there. We are never disappointed and sometimes blown away. Fun cocktails, too - I love the Eleanor.
The ambience is so pleasant. They did a great job curating it. I also appreciate that they keep some tables open for neighborhood walk-ins. It keeps the vibe local and I love that if we get there on the early side we can just eat a nice meal on a Friday night without a reservation.

Did a timeleft dinner hear. The food was incredible. I had a gluten free beef oxtail pasta. I'm still thinking about it days later. They need better hot sauce on the side though.
Very helpful staff and accommodating to additions to a group of 10 family dinner menu + great with gluten free options. Really spacious for big groups and lovely back patio area with fairy lights.
Amazing local haunt with classic and delicious Italian food. It makes sense that there’s lots of local regulars because the service is very attentive, warm and personalized with staff that has lots of attention to detail and are passionate about the place. They put real effort into be accommodating for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free too!
This place is superb. A true gem. I’m a local and have eaten here many times but my most recent visit compelled me to write a review. A waiter forgot one of our orders (it happens in restaurants). The waiter and manager graciously apologised, brought us some snacks on the house while we waited, didn’t charge us for the dish and offered us a nice dessert wine on the house. I wish all restaurants managed inevitable errors like this.
Ambiance: Outdoor area is situated in a walled garden with nice greenery and warm lighting. It allows you to escape the noise of the street and the Subway and almost feel like you’re somewhere in Tuscany. Tables are spaced apart enough that you won’t feel like you’re part of the adjacent table’s conversations. Indoor is more lively and cosy with open kitchen and bar adding to energy. The windows fog up during winter, creating a “warm refuge with tasty food” vibe from the outside.
The food is very good. I’ve tried most of the mains and I go back to the sausage and cavatelli. It sounds like the most unoriginal red-sauce Italian restaurant meal you’ve ever heard of, but it’s hands down my favourite meal in New York. Handmade pasta with brown butter, Italian sausage. Glorious. Folk who’ve lived here 15-20years agree too! For other meat dishes, the lamb ragu and the meatballs are some of the best I’ve had. The sweet sausage and red peppers is gluten free, served with polenta.
For something lighter, the eggplant marinara is perhaps surprisingly a lighter variant vs the typical 8tonnes of bread crumbs, cheese and red sauce production served in many NY Italians. Homemade tomato sauce, nice balanced seasoning. Sweet potato ravioli is also nice and light.
For dessert, give Tiramisu a break for just one Italian restaurant outing and try the stunning Red Wine Prunes and Mascarpone instead.

This place was Awesome! The guys were so personable with me & my son who were wearing Bills gear! My daughter loved their gluten free pizza. We are in Bay Ridge all the time and are sorry we didn’t come here sooner!
We came here as a group of 5 later in the night to get some pizza. I found this place for the gluten free pizza option. The others in the group got calamari, burrata pizza, prosciutto pizza and I got the gluten free arugula fig and goat cheese pizza which was a little burnt but other than that was super tasty. The gluten full pizza looked and smelled really good but the gluten free pizza was really delicious! Highly recommend
D.O.C. Wine Bar is one of my favorite spots in Williamsburg. The interior is truly one-of-a-kind with beautiful ceilings and wood beams and an incredibly cozy atmosphere. It’s not just a wine bar, though—the food is spectacular. I loved the beet salad and the mushroom pasta, in particular, but I’ve enjoyed several of the secondis and deserts as well. It’s also worth noting that they can accommodate dietary preferences with vegan and gluten free options. The owner mentioned that they’ve been open since 2001 and their entire team is lovely. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Love this restaurant so much! Staff is so sweet and super accommodating. Great prices. Feels like you’re in Italy. Highly recommend. Gluten free options.
Had gluten free chicken risotto delivered. The delivery was quick. The risotto is great! No complaints. Definitely would live to visit this place in person and try some more of the menu.

The gluten-free pasta meal had little to no flavor. I ordered the eggplant pasta with grilled chicken, and asked for the eggplant on the side; it came in a small sauce container. The fresh tomatoes are a nice touch, but the meal tastes like it's missing something.
The price without chicken is $22+ and the price with one small grilled chicken breast is $32+.
Fantastic food. Friendly service. Cozy setting. Love this neighborhood restaurant. The peach salad was delicious as was the bolognese. They accommodated my friend’s request for gluten free pasta. The outdoor seating is good but little stuffy.
Food was delicious! We had the lasagna and a gluten free fettuccini! The only reason why I'm giving 4 stars to the food, is because i wished the bread was warm.
The servers were very nice, and the atmosphere is beautiful.
