Best 13th Birthday celebration! We can all eat comfortably (2 of us have celiac) and everyone is happy with this delicious food! The atmosphere was great and my daughter was so happy with the streaming huge torch candle they brought out and the generous free dessert! It really was a perfect dinner!

Food is very good. Nice twist to mashed potato’s, chops cooked as ordered, tuned into gluten and allergy issues, etc. The decor is nice, more elegant than formal, but feels a little dated here and there. Service is dependent on the person, which is not uncommon. They are professional for sure no complaints but it was a bit too transactional and had gaps in timing. We certainly will be back.
First time here. Reasonably priced and multiple options, including gluten-free and cauliflower crust. Friendly staff. Warehouse type atmosphere with a lot of seating. The only complaint I overheard was that the ice machine was not working, and the soda was not that cold without it. Would definitely go back. Got a gluten-free pepperoni pizza, and I liked it!

We love Savoy Taproom!! We always make a point to stop in for dinner whenever we're in the neighborhood. This is a fantastic gem for gluten free/dietary restriction folks, as there is a dedicated gluten free fryer AND most breaded/fried items are breaded in non-gluten containing batters! This is one of the only places I can get a fried chicken sandwich, fries, fried cheese curds, etc. since I've gone gluten free. Further, the craft cocktails are exquisite, the staff knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind, and the ambience great for evening/weekend dining. I can't think of a more perfect place to celebrate date night, get togethers with close friends, or any special occasions.
My wife, girlfriend and I visited Toro of Albany last night and the experience left us all dissatisfied. The blue corn tortillas used for the gluten free application of the chicken tacos were meely and unappetizing. The 32$ enchiladas with shrimp were 90% tortilla. Each only had 1 shrimp and very little filling. For the price tag, we expected a fantastic meal and it was not delivered. The margaritas were ok but at 15$ a piece, seemed over priced. The only bright spot was our bar tender, rob I believe. He was smart, funny, knowledgeable and overall the best part of the experience. Overall I would say visit this spot for drinks and conversation only.

I have eaten several times at City Line and I also am gluten free. I have always had Wonderful service, great tasting food, make any accommodations needed, and comfortably priced!
Food was great. Portions large. Prices were reasonable. Service was wonderful. Very patient with our large group.
Gluten free and vegetarian options clearly labeled.
The establishment is spacious, catering to sizable gatherings and familial units. A delectable cheeseburger with accompanying French fries is offered. The establishment can provide gluten-free buns for both burgers and pasta dishes.
I visited this place for the first time while I was running errands and needed to stop for food. Since being gluten free (intolerance not an allergy), I'm always looking for a good gluten free pizza, their website said they had it so I stopped in. Their display of pizzas ready to go was amazing and made me miss my gluten-full days immensely! Their gluten free pizzas need to be ordered as a full pie (6 cut is their smallest) and are cooked fresh with any toppings. About 15 minutes later I had my pie and it was awesome!!! Unfortunately, it does not make good left overs, which is the case with every gluten free pizza I've tried so I did not hold it against them in this review. I do not know if they have a separate oven for their gluten free pizzas, so there may be cross contamination for those with severe sensitivity. Hope this helps!
Wow! This place is amazing!!! So many food options - literally something for everyone - American, Asian, Italian, Seafood, etc. It's like they said "everyone is doing small themed menus, so let's do the opposite!!!" I appreciate that they had a lot of gluten-free options. The food was great! Our server was awesome! And the ambiance was incredible! Open, airy, industrial, modern, bright and fun! Clean bathrooms and a huge bar. We will go back next time we are in the Albany area and highly recommend it to our friends.
Great atmosphere and delicious food. The Delmonico's steak is a meal that can't be beat especially paired with the antipasto for two. Gluten free options, including GF pasta, are available. The bar area has a nice vibe. Staff are professional, helpful and friendly.
I’ve been here a few times, once we sat at a table, another time at the bar, and another time in the lounge for a birthday gathering. Everytime was equally amazing! The service is great, everyone is very attentive.
The food this AMAZING!! As someone with a gluten allergy it can be super challenging to find good food and be confident that I won’t be sick. This place is great so sooo reassuring! They have so many options and are soo knowledgeable.
My husband and I so love Swiftys. We enjoy eating there every time we travel to Delmar.
I love that they have gluten free bread and rolls. Salads and sandwiches are large and delicious. Their house made French fries are so addicting!

Great for Celiac. Fries are gf fried only with other fries, and if you tell them allergy at the register when you order they notate allergy and you can get a lettuce wrap.
Food is really great

I was really hyped about Moliendo Café because I had heard such great things. I don’t wanna complain about everything but overall we were just not very impressed. The owner greeted us off the start and was excellent, but from there the service went down as our waiter was absent quite a bit and forgot more than one of our orders. The food was pretty good. But not what I had expected from the hype. Good atmosphere tho. Overall I had a good experience. The margaritas are Very good tho! I do look forward to returning as maybe it was an “off day” which is understandable. Very traditional food that can be made gluten free and that’s hard to find. All in all I was happy with Moliendo Café.
We had a great dinner! This was our first time here, and we sat at the bar prior to dinner. Ralph the bartender greeted us with a smile and made us some amazing martinis!
When seated, we were served by Neil and Alex. Our food was exceptional. (Sidenote: they have gluten free rolls if you ask) Zach recommended some wine and told us a bit about the winemaker. Overall it was a great experience.
Was able to get a gluten free meal by getting rice noodles in my ramen. Allergens were not marked so I had to trust the server but I did not have a reaction so it worked out.

I ordered their gluten free pizza for the first time and it was delicious. It's a thin crust and tastes like normal pizza. Typically I order from Romo's, Sovrana or Defazios. Pizza Bella's GF pizza is just as good if not better!
I was having the worst day finding out someone had thrown away my gluten free pizza at home. Looking for options nearby this place popped up and I’m always worried when trying new places but this place completely turned my day around.Their gluten free margarita style pizza was the best gluten free pizza I’ve had. Very crispy and the perfect thin crust. I will definitely be going back!
We hired dc catering for our daughters wedding last weekend and everyone raved about the food. He did some gluten free dishes for us as well and they were great. They have lots of options to choose from and we highly recommend them. Matt even called after the wedding to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Great customer service!
We have a graduation coming up and will be using their service again soon.

We arrived in Albany on a Sunday to find that restaurants in town were generally closed, however we discovered The City Beer Hall and fell in love with it immediately. In fact we had such a wonderful meal we returned on the following evening as well.
The menu was perfect and catered for my wife who was gluten intolerant with a number of offerings on the menu. Our choice of drinks was well catered for as well.
We loved the burgers and the peach salad we shared was perfect. We can highly recommend this wonderful that is housed in the historic old telephone company building. It was such a friendly space to dine.
Most importantly for us when we are going out is the service and care of the wait staff. We were absolutely blessed by having the gorgeous Katrina, look after us on both nights we visited for dinner. In fact it was her warmth and hospitality that made our return so easy.
Katrina explained the options available and too, extra care to make sure my wife’s gluten allergy was understood in the kitchen.
We loved both our visits and would return in a heart beat should we ever revisit Albany.
Fun festive atmosphere in an old church. Good food, strong drinks and great service. We dine here often. Carnitas are a favorite, lots of vegetarian and gluten free options available.
Great restaurant for the family! I have celiac and they were very accommodating. I had the lettuce wrapped burger which was prepared in a separate area along with there awesome fries. Win win for our family of five who does not eat out often due to my dietary needs. Thank you Five Guys.
Service was phenomenal, our server did a fantastic job for our large party of 10. The food was delicious. I wish they also had gluten-free bread available when they brought bread and butter to the table for everyone. I was unable to enjoy any, and it smelled so good!
The atmosphere was pretty good. But...our table was directly next to the kitchen area and where they stacked all their dishes. So, each time any waitstaff went in/out of the kitchen or dropped off dishes, it was loud and it became difficult to hear others speaking at our table. Overall though, it was a good night.
The atmosphere and vibe of this cafe is amazing!
The entertainment on weekends are nothing that I have experienced anywhere else.
Mr. Ventura is always polite, attentive and accommodating. The staff are as well! Really giving you that welcoming hometown coffee shop feeling.
Considering I drive 30 minutes out of my way to grab a bite to eat. That should say enough about how delicious the food is. But if I must, the food is just as excellent! The Love Salad is my favorite! They also have gluten free options!
This is Just a steller place to experience!
This is a fun place with a retro vibe inside. There are lots of vegan options and if you are gluten free you can have the fries. The vegan burger is really good. I recommend the caramelized onion on everything!
Ama Cocina is back open after having closed down during the pandemic. The food and atmosphere are the same as before offering delicious Mexican dishes in a fun environment. Gluten free corn taco are available but no separate fryer for nachos.
I finally had the chance to eat here and I have to say, the chicken taco’s were amazing. I ordered Chicken Taco’s and my dad got the Vegan Taco’s. The chicken tacos were $10 for 3 tacos that is amazing value considering there is a whole lot of chicken! The vegan taco was alright. It was also $10. The vegan “meat” they use is called seitan. It wasn’t as good as the chicken but it was eatable. Beware that it is very high in gluten as Seitan is made entirely out of gluten. That being said, it also has a lot of protein (75 grams of protein for 100 grams serving). The guy working the counter was pretty nice too.
We happened to find this place when searching for gluten free Chinese food. They went out of their way to use rice flour and gluten free soy sauce. We’ve been back several times. Never disappoints!! Delicious food great service. I’m in heaven!!
Came twice over the weekend, needless to say it was amazing, especially the gluten-free pizza ! YUMMY !! Staff is really nice and portion are really generous
