Top 23 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Plano

Katt Anderson

Non Gluten Eaters— This review is for you. We were looking for somewhere to eat dinner where we could watch a hockey game and I could eat decent food as a gluten free eater. Taverna Rossa had a good amount of TVs and a gluten free menu to make those options accessible and easy to find. They verified whether I had an allergy. I tried the chips & queso, which I enjoyed. The GF vegan pizza crust was decent and the amount of toppings on it was a good balance. I also tried a cider and their root beer on tap. The service was good (even helping me find a good table to have multiple views of TVs for our party). Great that the restrooms were clean too. I’d definitely recommend trying out this place if you’re looking for either of these things!

Been here many times and love that we can get gluten-free meatballs and pizza, as well as various pastas. Everything tastes phenomenal. The last two times we were there our server was Jim, and he is beyond accommodating and attentive. We had two little girls with us and he was great with them. Great service makes all the difference. Thank you, Kenny's!

This restaurant had five stars from my family until today. I ordered carryout for our typical order that’s $250+. My elementary school daughter is celiac and has to eat gluten free options. Her order tonight was terrible. We order this regularly, too. The pasta was far undercooked (crunchy, not merely al dente), and the sauce was an awfully sour and watery green mess. The cooks forgot half the recipe in the sauce, no pine nuts, no cheese, no capers. Very disappointing. Now, I have to source new food for her at 8:30 at night.

I am gluten free. The chef personally came to my table to make sure my meal would be cooked in such a way to not make me sick. He altered the recipe just slightly to allow me to eat something on the menu not normally gluten free. What a great experience.

I’ve been many times, and each experience has gotten worse than the previous. In my most recent experience, the waiter was yelling at the hostess right in front of our table, and then immediately turned around to greet us (super awkward and unprofessional). Next, the waiter brings us water, and disappears for 3-5 business days. After finally flagging down the waiter, we order our food which was not only undercooked, but flavorless. To top it off, they brought us complementary bread as a condolence when we had informed them of a gluten allergy (so we couldn’t even eat it). I would not recommend. There’s dozens of better “Italian” places, and the price is outrageous for the lack of quality.

Best gluten-free pizza in the world!

I would NOT recommend this place for people dietary restrictions. At first, I was thrilled about this place because they seemed willing to accommodate my simple requests due to my dietary restrictions - gluten free and dairy free. Then, after going there a few times. Another manager told me they were unwilling to accommodate. My requests did not change in that time. APPARENTLY even if you are willing to pay extra they will not accept your requests. I would steer clear since their management style is confusing and inconsistent. If you have children with food restrictions, I’d avoid this place since the owner seems to have ‘a chip on his shoulder’ about having to make accommodations.

I ordered the baked ziti but there are a ton of fantastic options and they have gluten free options for the pastas.

My son was craving Fetuchini Apfredo….so off to Olive Garden. We got a table straight away without waiting and the staff was extremely polite. At the front there was a huge salad in a bowl with everything your salad heart could desire...we even got a refill. I enjoyed the gluten-free pasta with minced meat sauce and meatballs. My son first had mozzarella sticks and then the beloved Fettuchini Alfredo. The quality of the food was extremely good and there was enough of the portion for lunch the next day. A terrific dining experience. You can safely go here. The accessibility directly on Route 75 N with sufficient parking spaces completes the overall picture.

Food is delicious, but service really makes it special. We placed an online order to pick up only to find the gluten free pasta was added to the wrong entree! We called and they only said they would remake it for us, but offered delivery. Will definitely be ordering / dinning here again!

I'm Gluten free and the accommodated me. Not as many options for us for lunch so I had to order from dinner menu.

We enjoyed the pizzas and appreciated the good service. Crusts were very good and had a good crunch without being too bready. We really enjoyed the pizza sauce and the calzones was awesome! The gluten free crust was pretty good also. Toppings were overall solid and tasted fresh. We'd recommend a visit!

Aaron Parish

One of the best pizza places around. I recently had to go gluten free, and this if the first place that has GF that tastes like a normal crust. So good

We have been meaning to try this place for a while now, and today was the day. When I walked in the store, the first thing I noticed is that the place is pretty small. It is cozy though, and I was surrounded by fresh breads and pastas and a wide variety of Italian food accessories. The star of the show was of course the deli. The menu is fairly limited, and after speaking with the counter clerk, I don't think there is too much wiggle room for customizing sandwiches - not that I don't think that they wouldn't accommodate a special request. We ordered three different sandwiches as-is, which is unusual for me, but we rolled the dice. I ordered the Muffaletta...as described to me it sounded great. We also ordered a meatball grinder and the Sorrentina. Sandwiches took about 10 minutes, maybe, to be prepared and then we were off to go back home to eat. The atmosphere was friendly, chill, and welcoming. On the other hand, three sandwiches, with tip, was almost $50. We got home and there were some oohs, ahhs, and ??? Meatball grinder was exactly what you would expect - hot, melty cheese, and tasty meatballs in marinara. The Sorrentina was exactly as billed, and my wife really liked it. My Muffaletta was not what I expected based on other Muffalettas that I have had. First of all it was cold, and I have never had a cold Muffaletta. However, it was huge and it was good. The olive tapenade was fresh, so much so that I bit down on an olive pit. I told my wife that the one thing that I would change, other than the temperature, was the balsamic vinaigrette. To me, it was kind of sweet, and that is not what I like in a sandwich. My wife said that the balsamic vinaigrette was exactly the reason that she liked her sandwich, because she does not normally do "Italian" style sandwiches. Hard to believe that we ever got married. Anyway, I will definitely try it again. I honestly had trouble deciding what I wanted to order, the sandwich menu is exactly what I look forward to. Also, they have gluten free options! Go give it a try!

Love that they offer gluten-free options and dairy free options.

The restaurant's a little hidden in the back of the center. It's not the most elegant place, but it's not without its charm. It reminds me of a New York neighborhood restaurant. There's a familiarity and charm and it's the kind of place where you can become a regular. The food is delicious. I'm not a fan of the bread. The white loaf may be the worst bread I've had a restaurant. With that aside, the rest of the food is really good. The red sauce is fantastic. One in our party can't eat gluten without becoming ill, and they made a gluten-free pasta for her and grilled chicken with capers and artichokes. She really enjoyed it. I had the cappuccino pie. It's worth trying. I can't wait to go back and try more. It is a BYOB establishment. They offer wine glasses and open the wine. Super nice staff.

I ordered a gluten free pizza and paid for it to go. I got home and ate it only to realize they gave me a regular pizza and not a gluten free one. I was sick and miserable two days after but worth it lol. This pizza was amazing; the house made mozzarella was next level. Those who aren’t gluten intolerant should definitely try it out. I probably won’t again for the risk of getting gluten poisoned again lol

I always enjoy coming here and trying new rich foods. Today I tried to power bowl with steak. It is full of bold flavors. I have a gluten sensitivity but I was able to find a menu online that noted gluten containing foods. The line staff was very kind and quick. Especially Kelli who greated me and began my order. Finishing with Thiago who carried a happy demeanor. And as I ate, people came in and out, and the staff worked continuously to clean and refill the entire restaurant. Thanks for always providing an enjoyable dining experience

This place is an easy, mid-week go-to. They are not the easiest for gluten-free; they sometimes have gluten-free pasta, and occasionally don't without warning. But, we love it, anyway. It's really good tiramisu, and their pasta and sauces are amazing. It's BYOB, but bring your own wine glasses, too, or you'll pay a couple bucks to use one of theirs. If you forget the wine, there is a liquor store next door.

Absolutely love this place. We seldom go to Italian restaurants because we have gluten-free family members. Bella's GF pasta is very good and their regular pasta dishes are delicious! I don't live in the DFW area but Bella is a must stop when I visit. So glad we found this gem!
