pizza is delicious

Rhiann Whale

Great pizza! Nice spot to take a break, pizza was good and had no problems afterwards.

the baked goods are so tasty! my most recent visit here was to get a gluten free cupcake for my friend for my birthday party. I was shocked to see how many gluten free options there were to chose from! she LOVED the gf carrot cake!!

Shel Wise

Most authentic oven-fired neopolitan pizza in downtown BK; BEST GLUTEN FREE crust in the CITY! The evening ambiance and heated / covered backyard are as delectable as the food. This has become a special treat for date night--it feels like a slice of Italy 🍨

Megan Huff

Gluten-free arepas! Super delicious-I recommend the pabellón. I doordashed my food and did not dine in.

Giulia Mate

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

Kimberly Goughnour

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.

Kristen Chaney

We came in on a whim when a nearby burger spot was unexpectedly closed. We loved the food!!! And I was extra thrilled to find they have vegan cheese and vegan dips- which gluten free options as well. We’ve added this spot to our must go to spots when visiting Brooklyn!

Lisa Lindsey

Had the best meal and my daughter was able to safely try foods she’s never had before like fried pickles, popcorn chicken… the burgers were amazing and everything was safe. There are a few items on the menu in that are not gluten free but nearly everything could be gluten free and 100% of their fried chicken is gluten free! Highly recommend!

Emma Brown

Gluten free pizza is NOT celiac safe!

Elya Tagar

Great for celiac - savory and sweet crepes, really good and lots of fresh fruits and veggies in them.

Steven w

FalafaLafa was awesome. Great good, great service! Lots of gluten free and vegan options if that's your thing.

Christina Morgese

My wife and order from here constantly and they never miss! I have celiac and I never have an issue eating here!

Harris Bleaker

This is my favorite casual gluten free breakfast in Brooklyn. The staff is aware of allergies, the gf pancakes are so solid, and there are so many options. Everything is good and there is a real sense of nutritional intentionality behind the menu. I have celiacs and have never gotten sick here, even while ordering it online for Delivery. The knockout tea is truly medicinal. Everyone loves this places.

Bianca Ritorto

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!

Abi Hall

Excellent food, lots of gluten free choices.

Cosima Ciampi

Literally the best vegan food i've had in ages (easily adaptable to vegan and gluten-free options). The food is extremely tasty, there are many options and the staff is adorable. I highly recommend!!

Harris Bleaker

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.

Charlotte Oestrich

This place is truly a gem. I adore this place and love bringing people here to show off the neighborhood. The platter for two is massive and can really feed three people. Everything is vegetarian! Gluten free injera bread is available but it is first come first serve, as they only make a limited amount per day. That being said, I’ve never had an issue getting it so if you have celiac or are gluten free, this is definitely a great place to try! The food feels super healthy and doesn’t leave you feeling gross, plus the coffee is outstanding. If you can go for the coffee experience, it is so worth it! Love Bunna!!!

Ben Vollmer

Great wood fires pizza, wings and salads. Loved the food and the atmosphere was great. They had some great Gluten Free options.

Rachel Hsiung

I had my birthday brunch here this past weekend. Miro helped plan a prefixe menu for my group of 15 guests that accommodated for omnivore, gluten free, and vegetarian diets, as well as a shrimp allergy. I was in touch with him several times in the month leading up to my event as my guests confirmed or cancelled their reservations and as new dietary needs came up even up until the several days before our reservation. I was so grateful for Miro’s clear and timely communication throughout, as well as for all the accommodations he was able to make for us. The food was awesome on the day of the event — in particular we loved the five spice fried chicken and waffle dish, the spicy noodle stir fry, the imperial rolls, and the slow cooked lamb buns. We also got the papaya salad, and coconut french toast, which were also delicious. For my gluten free guests, they made gluten free vietnamese crepe. 💕 My group was extremely well fed, the backyard ambience was relaxed and leisurely, and service was great. Price was $50 per person, not including drinks — for the quality of the food and the fantastic service, this was absolutely worth it. I had a fabulous birthday here, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Thank you again to Miro and the service staff day of for making my birthday brunch so wonderful 💖

Raven Brookes

One of our favourite places to eat in NYC (and we live here!) really creative, delicious and nutritious food, awesome service, lots of deals and a really light and fun vibe. Great cocktails, a good choice of wine and lots of gluten-free options too. Shout out to Ben H for making this particular visit so lovely - wonderful human!

Abby Dow

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!

Brian Ricci

I've been here a bunch of times and recently went again. It was great! The vegetarian combo was fantastic as always. I think this place has my favorite injera. I've been here with a gluten-free friend and they offer a gluten-free injera option - so great! The lentil sambusa was flavorful and delicious, a great option for kids. Although, you should be sure that your kid can handle flavor and texture and spice; this isn't a place for buttered noodle kids. The service is always good and the space is nice. We sat in the back which was fully enclosed, so that was lovely. I've been back there before in the summer, but was happy to see the enclosure was comfortable.

Ellen Freeberg

Outstanding food, whether you are vegan or no. Go in and just get any to-go foods to get started. Opens early, around 7:30 am, so you can pick up items for lunch. I have loved the to-go crunchy peanut salad, the sesame noodles, the lasagna, and the incredibly filling and healthy breakfast burrito. All fabulous. (Lasagna also comes in a large size and easily feeds 5-6. They even offer a gluten free version which I just served for a dinner party.) The owner is an inspiration. I cannot say enough positive about the quality.

Jana Ivkovic

The gluten free bagel was insanely good!!!! Best gluten free bagel in NYC hands down. I had to do a double take and make sure I was indeed eating a gluten free bagel - it tasted thag good! The ladies are very friendly and created a lovely atmosphere.

Holly Zmijewski

Clean eating but kind of boring for the price. Good for dietary restrictions like gluten free stuff. Just not very exciting and not very large portions so didn't like the price was entirely justified. The non alcoholic drinks are a rip off for sure. $12 for like 4 oz of juice essentially. That was a little steep. Service was very good however, atmosphere was nice. Went for brunch so the wait for the food was a bit long. Fresh juices were very good.

Becky S

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.

Hannah Webb

Best home fries in Brooklyn! Had gluten free bread as well, but the side portions were pretty small and overpriced drinks

Melanie Lockert

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!

Beau Lazear

My favorite local vegan cafe, I always get the blue breakfast smoothie! It’s nice to have healthy organic options.. not to mention gluten free muffins!! The staff is always nice as well :)

Martin Mendez

one of the best pizzas in NYC and definitely the best gluten-free pizza i've tried.

Ana QR

Delicious and affordable self-service burger joint. The milkshakes are very good, but they have too much cream for European palates. They have gluten-free buns for all the burgers, and they're juicy and don't fall apart.

Wesaun

Gabby was a wonderful server today for my first lunch at this restaurant. I had the gluten free Summer Rolls with the rice wrap without chicken. I didn't take photos but beautiful presentation of the meal. She was understanding towards my goals of eating healthier and made helpful suggestions. She was happy to assist with me getting more peanut sauce for my summer rolls. They were delicious and the veggies truly were fresh and tasted great. I took some home and ended up placing another order. It was a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I'm glad this place was close to where I had some fieldwork today and I would come here again.

Kelly Walker

10/10 recommend. I got the gluten free pizza and it was amazing!

Miriam Noyola

I thought I had tasted the best pizzas in Brooklyn but I was wrong. We had dinner here and it was absolutely delicious. The crust is amazingly thin and crunchy, just how I like it. We ordered a slice of Cleopatra Jones and Giglio and a personal-size gluten-free pepperoni. I want to go back soon!

Johanna Schutter

Really great celiac-friendly restaurant. They even have the option of gluten-free pita upon request that's quite delicious. My food accidentally came with a regular pita on it and they immediately noticed their mistake and went back and prepared a fresh, new plate.

Adrian DiMatteo

The Jungle Cafe is one of those places that nourishes you on all levels. Tasty, clean, fresh, healthy food in a warm, natural and inviting environment. Great smoothies, juices, sandwiches, salads, main courses, vegan and gluten free deserts — even hot cacao! The buffet has a wide selection and features rotating cultural themes daily (Mexican, Indian, Polish, etc.). Do yourself and your community a favor by supporting this great local establishment! PS — It’s also a great place to get some reading or work done, or meet up with friends.

Alyssa

Great bbq with a casual low key vibe. Plan ahead! Currently orders are placed online and could be waits up to an hour! So be prepared!! Gluten free options! The brisket was incredible.

Ruth Hinze

ISO recommendations on GF restaurants/coffee shops and where to get GF groceries (bread, pasta, cereals...) around Kensington/Windsor terrace/Park Slope area 🤞

Tarik Hussein

New gluten-free crust is fantastic! Old was good too but worth a visit to try the new one.

Virginia Falco

Great gluten free options.

Travis Lucy

Delicious. Also, our celiac diner was very pleased with his GF pizza.

Gary Savage

Superb in every way - vegetarian and gluten-free friendly too!

Heidi Armstrong

Amazing experience! A must try!!!!! Service is fantastic and extremely accommodating for celiac and gluten allergies! I will be back!

Nina

the lemongrass pork rice bowl was insanely good AND gluten free!!!!!!! (iirc all the rice bowls are!) i've been missing vietnamese marinated pork since being diagnosed celiac and this more than hit the spot. so flavorful and juicy.

J A

You had me at gluten free crepes!

Rafael T.F.

I was so excited to try Colonia Verde but sadly left very disappointed. While most of the menu is marked gluten free, for some reason they use a shared fryer. The place is beautiful, but the food is just OK. I had the mushroom tacos and the picanha, and to be honest they were just fine. Our waiter seemed a little confused around what was safe for celiac or not, which again was just disappointing given how well the menu is marked!
