Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Philadelphia

Ann Kardos

This was one of the worst gluten free pizzas I've ever had. And one of the most expensive for what it was! 4 slices on an absolutely tasteless and way too over-crispy and unenjoyable crust. I can buy better gluten free pizza frozen at the grocery store. I ordered pizza because my hotel didn't have a microwave so I had no way to heat up leftovers, but this pizza was a joke. Also, rude service. Every time the waiter came to my table, he acted like he was annoyed that I was there. I didn't really have a very pleasant experience dining there.

I have celiac disease and it's had to find good gluten free food. Their sandwiches are awesome and their pizzas are too!

previous chef had celiac and new chef has promised to continue creating menus with celiac disease in mind! almost everything on the menu was naturally GF. there were TWO options for gf pasta shapes! server also mentioned that the fryer is dedicated GF. can’t wait to go back

I have to say I'm always skeptical about gluten free pizza, however this pizza was absolutely amazing, the tuna salad was so good, eggplant parmesan white regular pizza everything we ordered was great!

Emma Flihan

Not celiac safe at all. Came here because a friend told me the guy who works at the front has celiac and is very conscientious. Not my experience at all. Staff was curt and short. Sicker than I’ve been in a very long time. Really a shame because the food was delicious

Amazing food, outstanding gluten free pizza, service is great we always request Nick he and everyone else is so insanely friendly. We go here every time we are in the city and for a good reason. 10/10 would recommend.

Everyone was wonderful! Our waitress asked the chef if he could make a meal I wanted gluten free, and they did! It was amazing! Both my husband and I had wonderful time!

Very cute place! We’ll definitely be returning. Fairly priced, great service, incredible food. The calamari were amazing as was the caprese salad. We did the tortelloni, ravioli, and mushroom risotto for dinner and all of us were speechless! You can tell how fresh the ingredients are and how thoughtfully they were prepared. If you have celiac disease/are gluten free (or any other dietary restriction), don’t hesitate to make the reservation here; they will take care of you. Thanks for a great experience!

We had a wonderful dinner at Via Locusta. We brought our toddler and baby with us and the staff were so accommodating. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate my mom, who is gluten intolerant and vegetarian. We appreciated being able to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food here.

Literally the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. This is the only pizza place I go to now. Plus it's not overly expensive (especially for gluten free!!!)

Fiorino is becoming our Friday night go-to. My wife and I are both gluten-free and they have several options on the menu. Last night we had the grilled calamari to start. I had the GF pasta with white clam sauce - absolutely fantastic. The staff is knowledgeable and personable with both indoor and our seating. The ambiance is right out of ‘Moonstruck’ highly recommended.

I just wanted to share my favorite pizza spot in Chestnut Hill with you! I've been going there since I was in 9th grade, and I’m 26 now. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, and the staff treats me like family every time I visit. If you have a gluten allergy like I do, you're in luck! Most of their food is gluten-free, which makes it a great choice for everyone. Trust me, you won't regret heading down there to grab a bite! Make sure to tell them that Braheem sent you when you go! The barbecue chicken slices are my go to! But I can’t leave out the pinwheels 🔥🔥cheesesteak ones to be exact!

Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar focuses on locally sourced Italian food. All of the wine comes from one nearby vineyard in Pennsylvania. The menu features a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free pasta dishes made from local grains. The service was excellent and we liked the upcycled decor. The problem is that Italy is a mediterranean climate and Pennsylvania isn't. As a result, the pasta tasted strange and the Pennsylvania wine was just awful. We admire Tulip's principles but its food wasn't very good.

We were visiting Philly and wanted to experience the whole Rocky experience. I surprised my hubby with a reservation here with some friends for a birthday celebration. We heard opera periodically throughout our dinner & ended with an opera happy birthday seranade. The food was really delicious & both SAD diet visitors & multiple dietary restrictions people can have a good time together here. I was able to eat gluten free and vegan: mushroom risotto, broccoli rabe, and vegan chocolate ice cream for dessert. So a delicious complete meal. The hubby got eggplant rollentini that he enjoyed. Our friends got the veal that they both enjoyed. We also went to the bathroom upstairs where we saw the Rocky pictures & the Adrian’s sign that they called the restaurant in the movie. Our friends said the upstairs is open for drinks at the bar on weekends.

Owner is such understanding!! I have been coming here since it’s opened for the gluten free pasta and it’s amazing. I had an issue with an online order and he truly was kind and helpful! Highly recommend!! Can’t go wrong with the food or service

We ordered takeout in person- It was pretty busy inside but food was ready in 30min My husband ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak and rates it 3.8/5 I ordered a gluten free pizza and rate it 4/5 - I wish the crust was a little better, maybe square like the normal pizzas. The cheese and sauce were great. Was not expecting the tomato sauce on top but still good The rest of the family got a small square pizza and rate it 4.5/5

Had dinner at Mia Ragazza in Manayunk last night and had an overall incredible dining experience! First off, all of the food was amazing—went with a group so I was able to try a variety of items. Started with a few apps and salads. The calamari was a delightful surprise. Done differently than the typical calamari and it didn't disappoint. The “slightly spicy Caesar” was again not your typical Caesar (hint of wasabi!) and it was great. We also had the whipped ricotta—a simple yet highly satisfying treat! They served it with both normal and gluten free “bread” (upon request) that was really more like awesome pizza crust (without the toppings). Then there was the softball-sized meatball (served in marinara) that simply rivaled the best I’ve had. Just lovely. Entrees included the rolled lasagna—again a slightly different spin on the norm—and it was great (portion size on this one was larger than expected). The bucatini, short rib pappardelle, and chicken parm were all definitely standouts. We also ordered the gluten free pasta with red sauce just to try it (all of the pasta is homemade, even the GF) and it may be the best GF pasta I’ve had. No joke. Desserts were obscenely good. The layered chocolate cake was not only a piece of art as it came out, but was the size of a human head and tasted like a slice of heaven. Do not miss this one! The affogato was also sinfully good (made with salted caramel ice cream). Drinks were extremely tasty (creative cocktails menu!) and the service (shout out to Gina!) was wonderful. One of the biggest pluses of Mia Ragazza was the fact they have amazing GF options—pizzas, bread, and pasta—all made in house. If you’ve got a GF person in your life, you know how hard it is to find good GF options when you dine out. This will not disappoint. Again, an overall A+ outing. Will be back again soon!!

Adoro was great! The food was perfect and the servers were knowledgable of Celiac and being gluten free. The chef also came out to ask if everything was going well for the table and was very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Would recommend!

Great seafood, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe – just a bit off on timing We visited Positano Coast after catching a show at the Arden Theatre, and one thoughtful touch stood out right away: they offer a 10% discount if you show your Arden ticket stub, such a nice incentive for theatergoers looking to continue the evening with a good meal. The food was excellent across the board, especially the seafood dishes, which were clearly made with very fresh ingredients. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I felt well taken care of the staff was knowledgeable and careful about what I could and couldn’t have. That kind of attentiveness is always appreciated and helped me enjoy the night more fully. We started with appetizers, and everyone at the table had high praise for them. A particular highlight was the fried spicy calamari, my husband and kids raved about it. I couldn’t try it myself due to gluten, but it was clearly the star starter. The portion was very generous and perfect for sharing honestly, more than enough for several people to enjoy. When it came to entrées, the portion sizes again impressed us. The lamb chops, ordered by my husband and one of our sons, were perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. I had the salmon, which was flavorful and well-prepared, though it could have been warmer, a detail I suspect was due to some timing issues in the kitchen. That leads to the few small service hiccups: our appetizers didn’t arrive all at once, so some of us were eating while others waited. A side dish also came out quite late, almost as we were finishing our mains, which interrupted the flow of the meal. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with a lovely view of the city. It’s also very family-friendly, and the staff was welcoming to our kids, making it a great choice for both family dinners and adult nights out. We capped the evening with a dessert, the cheesecake, ordered by my son. It was beautifully presented with delicious sauce accompaniments and perfectly creamy. He and my husband shared it and raved about every bite. A sweet ending to a very enjoyable meal. In summary: Fantastic seafood, gluten-free friendly, and generous portions in a stylish setting. Just a few service timing issues, but still very much worth a return.

Ordered gluten free pasta and chicken, they forgot my chicken. Such a sad lunch without it.

Went here because I was told it's a staple of no libs. Food was amazing and their staff was down to earth, I didn't feel like I was being served rather I was one of their regulars. Go hungry and ready to take food home with you the portions are large. I'm def not vegan or gluten but I was surprised by the amount of options they had to accommodate that.

My family and I had Easter brunch here and the staff was so accommodating. I have celiac disease and I am so anxious when attending any events at restaurants. The host/manager (I’m unsure of who I spoke to on the phone , sorry!) was so considerate and kind to me . The food was amazing! I felt fine after dining here and the service was exceptional. We had a wonderful time! We are looking forward to coming again. Thank you for making our Easter so great!
