Top 18 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in Portsmouth

Bobby Haltmeier

Having a gluten allergy and going out to restaurants and not feeling safe is incredibly common. The service of Ella and hunter was super helpful and made me feel safe with my allergy. Not to mention that the food is great

My wife and I eat out a lot — probably more than we should — and honestly, most places blur together. Same look, same food, same “safe” hotel kitchen vibe. Napoletana Pizzeria & Bar is a refreshing exception. It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you’d find in Italy, or the way Boston’s North End used to be before it got over-gentrified. The food is bold and rustic, the space has real warmth — exposed brick, wood beams, no flash — just good energy and honest cooking. We often go during Happy Hour (4–6pm). The menu stays the same, but the prices on drinks and appetizers drop. From the main menu, don’t miss the Griglie Miste — a mixed grill of sausage, steak tips, and chicken. Everything is cooked just right, and the char from the grill brings it all together. It’s big enough to share, but you might not want to. The Mussels Fra Diavolo are another standout. Served as an appetizer, but easily a meal on their own. The broth is deep, rich, and spicy — and if heat isn’t your thing, they’ll tone it down while keeping the flavor. We get them almost every time. If they have it, grab a glass of the Toscano wine. It’s imported by their parent company, Tuscan Kitchen, and it punches way above its price. The pizzas? Excellent. Rectangular (except for gluten-free), crisp crust, fresh toppings — exactly what you want from a proper pizza. The service is always sharp and friendly. Napoletana has become our go-to spot. It’s not trying to be trendy. It just is that good.

Very delicious, gluten free options. The pancakes were so huge my teenager had to bring some home! Kind staff.

Stopped in after hitting up the Kittery Outlets. Went around 3:00 so the place was close to empty. The food and drinks were AMAZING. I got the Burger with an adult milk shake. My wife (gluten free) got the Reuben burger with the apple pie margarita. My wife said it was one of the best burgers she's ever had. Server was accommodating with my wife's gluten allergy and to d came out quick. We will be coming back ASAP.

I mean how can you not love this local pub. The pizza is always the best and have a great gluten free option, A must stop when I am in the area! The Sprimp pesto is my favorite but the Neptune is the bomb also!

I visit this location once or twice a month, and each time, I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional service. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and thorough in their approach, creating an overall wonderful experience. On my most recent visit, about three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being served by Becca, who truly stood out. She was not only attentive but also incredibly accommodating and kind, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. I happened to visit on the last day of the old menu, and as always, the staff demonstrated great knowledge of the gluten-free options available, which I really appreciate. It’s rare to find such a consistently high level of service, and this team never fails to impress!

Outdoor seating was a great choice for lunch. Our server was friendly and helpful. My beet salad was fantastic! The lobster roll was a little wet and alot of celery. Cocktails were great! Good variety of menu items and gluten fee choices, too.

We've always loved the atmosphere at Row 34 in Portsmouth. Oysters are fresh and delicious with a depth of variety. Last night, I ordered the wild shrimp with asparagus, parmesan and meyer lemon dish. The dish arrived, and then I realized it came with (delicious looking) pasta. But, I don't eat gluten. (Note: the server asked if there were any allergies, and I said no, as it isn't an allergy and I figured I could order appropriately.) The server and chef were gracious and so helpful. The chef remade my dish with rice--honestly the best dish I've ever had at Row 34. The pasta dish looked so good, too. Highly recommend.

During our recent day trip, we enjoyed lunch at the Thirsty Moose before heading home. This restaurant has an impressive selection of beer, cider, hard seltzer, a full bar, and non-alcoholic drinks. Their expansive bar is backed by a continuous wall of TVs and more dot the walls of the dining areas. The open restaurant has plenty of seating, especially along the bar. Their menu has all the classic pub food, some with an inventive twist and clever names. They have a gluten-free menu available but not a dedicated fryer. I really enjoyed my cauliflower crust Greek pizza, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Bullwinkle burger and was able to upgrade it to two patties. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was perfect. This is an excellent location to stop by for a meal for solo guests, couples, families, or groups. We'd definitely come back to Thristy Moose the next time we're in the area.

I haven't had a bad meal at 99 to date. We tried the new romaine wedge salad by way of the gluten free menu, which is calorie light and the perfect size for our "bridge" meal in the middle of the day. There's another version on the salad page, but with extras that more than double the calories.

I’ve gone here for cannolis a couple times but never bought pizza. I’ve always enjoyed their cannolis and loved that they were one of the few places open late as I get out of work late some evenings and forget to eat something. I bought a slice for the first time today and it was a great size for the price as well as they have a deal for a free cannoli with a slice before 8pm. Every time I have gone the service has been very kind and nice to talk to. I hadn’t left a review before because I often forget but felt I should as I’ve never had a bad experience. I’d also like to add that my friend has a gluten allergy and had never had a gluten free cannoli before and they have them here! Every time I visit nj now he asks me to bring him one.

Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Good food. Gluten free available.

Roberta Reilly

Tuscan Market is centrally located to Portsmouth with a very cool vibe - many plants and relaxing lighting to make for a nice ambiance with a date, family, friends and even solo. The food and drinks are good (Amalfi Mule & Mussels my personal favorite) but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially pizza which has a yummy gluten free option.

Best take out pizza I have had in a while. I am Gluten sensitive, and am often disappointed with soggy gf crusts.The GF crust at Jitto's was delicious, nice and crispy and topping yummy. My husband had a regular crust pizza and was just as happy.
