Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Rhode Island

Erin Thornton

I have eaten at blackies a few times, each time a dream for me, someone with celiac disease and a food lover. But this review isn't about those times. Buckle up. I host birthday parties for my kids. Not at play centers or whatever because no, why would I, thats too easy and I like hosting. But everything is always gf because I have to exist in my own home. I had made arrangements to have gf pizzas from another place close to me and their business hours changed making it impossible to accommodate hungry toddlers and their parents for the party time. Enter panic mode. I call blackies and leave what im sure is nothing short of a desperate dumpster fire voicemail and then pray to any deity who would answer. Plot twist there is in fact a saint of gastrointestinal distress. Blackies calls the next day says they can accommodate my pizza dilemma and boom I pick up 6 insanely good pizzas and my guests devour them and do the typical, "I cAnT bElIeVe ItS gLuTeN fReE" schpeal. I cannot thank the staff and management enough for saving my gluten free buns and rest assured I will probably order my party food again from you in the future but with way more notice 😅

Great place for drinks, craft beer, and amazing pretzels. There are plenty of gluten-free options.

Chance Callahan

Best gluten-free bakery we have ever had, I drove from South Carolina for work to ri and it is a must have place to eat.

Jess M

Lots of GF options. The staff was knowledgeable and ready to help. They used specific blue rimmed plates for GF food. The food itself was hit or miss, but I did not get sick. I was happy to have so many options

Joanna White

Massimo is always amazing! The food is delicious, incredible authentic Italian, with a full gluten free menu! The staff is attentive and so friendly, especially the Manager Anna, who always greets us warmly and welcomes us back. We happily travel over an hour to come here for date night and special occasions and it’s always worth it! Highly recommend!

They had a gluten free menu! The burger was really good. I felt taken care of in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Melanie Baga

Phenomenal!!!! Best GF everything!!!

Julie Young

I had an incredible lunch here yesterday! I was pretty nervous since I haven't had pizza from a restaurant since my Celiac Disease diagnosis 4.5 years ago, but our server John was fantastic. He answered all my questions, double checked things when I asked, and put me totally at ease. He reassured me they take allergens very seriously, including a separate prep area AND a separate oven for GF pizzas! I had a 1/2 pesto margherita and 1/2 chicken bacon ranch pizza, both sides were equally delicious.

Erica Marinaro

Food was delish!!! They gave me gf rolls and a gf menu! Was very happy. Enjoy!

Valerie Humphry

Excellent food with gluten-free bread and wraps, quaint atmosphere, and tea time with my sister! Ask for Christine, Excellent service!

Ron Baker

A large selection of gluten-free foods.

Lena Andreuk

Absolutely amazing food, very diverse menu options. I'm vegan but my husband is not. They had the regular menu as well as a Vegan menu and Gluten free menu! We got upgraded margs (which were amazing) vegan nachos, vegan Cali burrito with smoked tofu, and barbacoa burrito. Everything was amazing, if we ever busy Newport again, we'll be sure to be back!

During my recent four-day stay at the Residence Inn while attending Flight Sim Expo 2025, I was so happy to discover that 110 Grill was conveniently attached right to the hotel. It felt like such a treat to have a quality dining spot just steps from my room, especially after long days exploring the expo. The restaurant has a warm and modern atmosphere, with a stylish interior featuring sleek wood finishes, cozy lighting, and an inviting open kitchen concept that lets you watch the chefs in action. It is spacious yet comfortable, making it perfect for both solo dining at the bar and gathering with friends at a table. One of the biggest highlights about 110 Grill is their dedication to accommodating dietary needs. They are known for having a completely gluten-free menu, right down to a separate fryer to avoid cross-contamination. As someone who appreciates when restaurants go the extra mile for their guests, I thought that was fantastic. I came in around noon on Sunday, and the place was surprisingly quiet, offering a peaceful escape from the busy weekend crowds. The bartender was absolutely wonderful. Although she seemed to be the only person working the floor at the time, she managed everything with such grace and friendliness. She was attentive and so kind, and she mixed some amazing drinks. I enjoyed a couple of their signature 110 Margaritas, and they were both fantastic, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus flavors and just the right amount of tequila kick. For my meal, I ordered the Apricot Shrimp Risotto along with a side Caesar salad, and it completely blew me away. The risotto was creamy and rich without being heavy or mushy, and I was delighted that there were no diced onions hiding in it, since I usually find they overpower the dish. The shrimp were large and tender, and the hint of sweetness from the apricot created a beautiful harmony of flavors. It was one of those meals that stays with you long after you have left town because it was genuinely that delicious. Looking through the menu, I noticed that 110 Grill offers a great variety of dishes ranging from hearty steaks and burgers to creative seafood options and vibrant vegetarian plates. Their menu often features seasonal specials and locally inspired flavors, keeping things fresh and exciting. They also have an impressive cocktail list and a nice selection of wines and local craft beers, which makes it a great spot for both dinner and drinks. Service, even during quiet times, felt warm and personal, and I appreciated how attentive the staff were to details, especially when it comes to food allergies or dietary preferences. If you find yourself staying at the Residence Inn or anywhere nearby, or you simply want a delicious meal in a modern, comfortable setting, I highly recommend checking out 110 Grill. It was the perfect place to relax, indulge in a fantastic meal, and treat myself during my trip to Flight Sim Expo. I am already looking forward to coming back the next time I am in town.

The wine and dessert (cannoli) were great, but the entrees were pretty bad. We got the chicken milanese and it was some of the most overcooked chicken we have ever had. The gluten free pasta and sauce were mediocre at best. Not happy with the food, but service was nice and it was a pleasant environment. The water had a very bad after taste also, would not drink.

Attentive service and very fast food service. PF Chang's always accommodates our food allergies with a large variety of gluten free foods and willingness to alter dishes to make them GF. Wish we had one closer to our home!

Fred V

Multiple stop location for us fried clams,oysters and fish and chips a must try. Portuguese Clams are delicious! Many options

Sofia Johnson

Huge menu in a casual yet family friendly environment. Gluten free options were appreciated and service was attentive and knowledgeable.

Samantha

Has great gluten free options! And the best poutine around that is also gluten free!

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

Wan Lin Qin

So good! American vegan food blows my mind. I loved the macaroni salad, crispy tofu roll, gluten free cake cup and am excited to try the brownie tomorrow.

Chad Wetmore

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

M. Myers

They have great and tasty gluten free options. Even with Celiacs and extreme sensitivity, I didn’t get sick so their kitchen is quite safe.

Josh Trott

Apponaug is a fantastic Rhode Island brewery. Typical (but beautiful) industrial/converted mill aesthetic, great food (including gluten free options for my wife), and a wide variety of beer styles. They generally have a strong German lineup (Kolsch, pils, schwartzbier, Vienna) alongside more modern styles (ipa, NEIPA, Mexican lager). Services is always friendly , and the outdoor space is amazing when it's not raining.

Alexandra kaseta

One of my favorite pizza places. A perfect date spot with arcade games and cool art. Delicious gluten free pizza options. The speciality drinks are perfectly made. The staff is soo friendly and kind. You are warmly welcomed and feel right at home. Can’t recommend this place enough !

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) So much good to say here. I’ll start with our server at our most recent visit… Jenn was nothing short of fabulous! She’s friendly and attentive and carefully helped me navigate a good allergy. Overall, she left us feeling comfortable and well served. The food was fabulous too. Especially the gluten free options. My family ended up liking my food more than there’s which is the usual case with gf options. Try the crunchy salad! I had it with grilled chicken which was juicy and well marinated. There’s a good selection of drinks and desserts too. Try the gf carrot cake! Hard to find and it’s so good. Overall, the prices are inline with the food quality. The establishment was clean and spacious. We found it family friendly and also appropriate for couples. Retirees might like this place because of the relaxed feel. It was also decidedly LGBTQ friendly. This particular location is one of the last in the area and worth the drive! We’ll be back.

Kelly Simmons

I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.

Jess M

Excellent food and great service! Had lots of GF options. The server took the food allergy very seriously and was knowledgeable. Everything was marked with “allergen” skewers when being served.

Clement Perez

Jeff Savarino

Best Indian food in Providence among a few other strong choices. Lots of gluten free options.

Philip Goodson

Elena Rogers

Such a great lobster roll! I got mine warm on a gluten-free bun. It was a super nice surprise they had an gluten free option!

Ashley Alden

Have eaten here many times and mentioned that I have celiac disease. Great place and food and did not get sick.

Kaz Childs

Incredible. Top notch service. Knowledgeable staff. So many food choices! So many gluten-free options, with no sacrifice on flavor

Tina Smrkovski

The gluten free Belgian waffle was amazing, and they had a large menu of Benny's and omelettes.

Susan

Nice and classy environment with tasty food for both lunch and dinner. My go-to for a good and tasty salad, other food is awesome as well. Gluten free options too.

Amelia Gleyzer

Omg I loved this restaurant so much! They are so accommodating because my mom and I couldn’t have gluten, rice, beans, or corn so they let us know what everything we thought about ordering had before we ordered it. The oysters are the BEST, and I had the king crab which was so good and so filling. My mom ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna which was also so good. Delicious food and great service 10/10. Many servers came over to check on us to see if everything was okay. There are a few places to sit: under the tent, sun room, bar, upstairs. Nice view from each seat but mostly the sun room. Definitely will be coming back when I’m in Rhode Island again.

The RI Food Dude

Really impressed by Legal Seafoods. They should have a higher rating than 3.3 on Yelp for sure. I know they have a lot of locations which is I didn’t have the highest hopes coming in. The quality of the food was terrific and the service was excellent. Great portions as well. It started with the hot/fresh rolls when we sat down. We all split the calamari - original style- which was fried nicely. However, this was the only dish that had a disappointing portion size. For close to $20, I expected more pieces. I ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna ($41). It was cooked perfectly with nice flavor. However, my favorite part of the dish was the two sides I got with it. The curried vegetable medley was tasty, but the pad Thai style quinoa was out of this world! It had that typical pad Thai taste, and the amount given was super generous. My mom ordered the crispy fish sandwich ($19). They were extremely considerate allowing her to sub out fries and coleslaw for other sides which more expensive. The fish sandwich was delicious as I had a few bites, but it could’ve used more fish itself. I also had some of my Dad’s Anna’s Baked Haddock ($28.5). The piece was enormous. It must’ve taken up half of the plate and probably weigh a pound. The buttered crumb topping was delicious and the oven roasted broccoli was cooked very well. We finished with the chocolate pudding cake ($12). It was incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. The texture was unbelievable. The molten center was fantastic and I wanted another after I finished. And I can’t believe it was gluten free. We had an amazing waitress and she really knew how to do her job well. I think her name was Madison, she’s been working there over a year. It’s very clean inside with a chill atmosphere and a huge bar in the middle. Prices are on the higher side, but not too bad for a seafood centered restaurant.

Peter Basiliere

I absolutely love this place. I’m gluten free and they always have GF choices. They have the best zappoles and cream puffs. Really everything is fantastic. Owners and help great people. They are an asset to our town. Thank you Beach Rose Cafe.

Lindsay Timko

I love this place…. they were one of the first restaurants to get on-board with having gluten-free options several years ago. Prices are a little high, but all prices are a little high. I love all the artwork they have displayed everywhere. I definitely recommend this place. ❤️

Amanda Sutter

This place is our favorite spot in Newport with so many gluten free options, lobster galore, fun cocktails, and attentive staff. We go every single time we visit Newport.

Sarah C

Whoever makes the gluten free pastries here has my whole heart🫶

Kathy Danis

Nearly all items on the extensive menu can be made gluten free. I had fish and chips! Which was excellent. The fish was so fresh and tender, the chips were chip/French fries. I also got a little loaf of gluten free bread! Also amazing with the cinnamon maple butter. And if you are so fortunate enough to have the server Julianne, your whole experience will be made better. You will leave feeling happier and know she truly cared about your food and dining experience. Her knowledge about gluten free food, caring attitude and willingness to go above and beyond should well be noted. I love, love love everything about this restaurant and can't wait to go back, and hope that Julianne will be working. A++++

Jim Johnson

Great food and it's wonderful that they have so many gluten-free options. My wife lives the gluten-free general tsao amd the gluten-free Mongolian beef. They even do gluten-free sushi with gluten-free soy sauce.

E S

Restaurant was clean and well lit. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to dietary needs. Large selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free items. Food was delicious with a wide flavor profile and range of heat. Prices were not prohibitive. Parking can be a little challenging if you are not from the area.

They have a gluten free fryer and we were asked if we had celiac when asking about gluten-free so felt they were very aware.

I ordered gluten free cupcakes online and when I went to pick them up The waitress wants To ask me if I can order the cupcakes from wildflower next time because they get them from there and they don’t have a lot in stock (keep that to yourself that’s not my business or problem). I find that to be rude extremely unprofessional don’t put them on the website for to go orders if that’s not the case it was a little bit embarrassing. Why would she even say that to me? I was expecting just to pick up my to go order and thank you. Have a nice day. I’m not even from Rhode Island. I’m a uber driver and I drove someone from Boston to Pawtucket and googled where to get vegan food. The greeting I received It was inappropriate, however, their food and their atmosphere is absolutely delicious.

Lisa Mayberry

Everything was good except for the grilled octopus which I sent back because you couldn't even chew it. Second time was better but still just ok. But the standout here was the gluten-free lamb poutine, everyone loved that!

Vivienne

I have to drive 45 minutes to go to physical therapy in Wakefield but, I always look forward to getting my wrap after. I'm greeted with a smile which means a lot because most people forget to connect with others. The gluten free and vegan options are top notch and I always leave feeling full and healthy. The staff have such beautiful attitudes and I'm so happy I found this spot. Thank you!
