I love pizza. This place can Pizza. Key for me: Insanely good gluten free pizza. I genuinely was worried they gave me regular gluten pizza the first few times I ordered because it tastes to me so much like a regular pizza.
4.5* - This was the first time I’ve had authentic (to what I think) Venezuelan cuisine, and it didn’t disappoint!
We ordered the yucca fries, Pabellon Criolo, 2 arepas, and the soup of a day. Obviously, way too much food for 2.
I thought the yucca fries & the creamy cilantro avocado salsa/sauce was delicious. The pabellon criolo, which is the Venezuelan National Dish, was delicious. Stewed pork, rice, beans, and 3 slices of plantains. Very, very, very good!!!
The two arepas we ordered were very delicious as well. They put a lot of filling in them, so they’re a whole meal in one. Arepas are also gluten free.
Soup was alright. Not the star.
Order the Venezuelan National dish, one arepa, and maybe an appetizer… you’ll be stuffed with great food.
One of the VERY BEST gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had. I’ve had celiac for 7 years, and very critical of GF pizza. This stuff is actually good. Try it. Seriously.
Store has gluten free bread and wrap options for those with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. I ordered a grilled chicken chopped, with everything on it. Juice bar inside store.
Had such a good time here. The food was so good and had a lot of variety Thai food and not just the basic fare, which we loved. There were also multiple vegetarian options, which is great for me! Both tofu and gluten are available for most dishes, as well as just vegetable, and if you're vegan, they clearly mark which dishes are fully vegan. The waitress we had was so sweet and attentive and asked us if we had visited Thailand before because of what we ordered and we chatted about it, it was such a lovely experience. The restaurant is decorated so cute, with flowers everywhere and pretty consistent flower theming, and our desserts came in the cutest dishes. I live in Manhattan, but I would absolutely make the trip to come here again!
We decided to try this recently, after passing it on a daily basis. After trying several places in Astoria, this place has the best burger I’ve tried by far. Cooked to perfection, and I am especially happy they offer gluten free options for those with celiac. The sauces we got with the fries were something else. No doubt, we’ll be back soon.
I’ve been wanting to dine here, and finally got the chance to go for dinner. They start with complimentary pita bread and chick pea dip, which was a light way to start. We got the Greek salad to start. The stuffed grape leaves were great, the acidity balanced great with the feta cheese and olives. For dinner, we weren’t too hungry and decided to split the Octopus Salad and P.E.I Mussels. For appetizers, they were a good size and filling. The muscles and octopus were very fresh, and the sauce the muscles were cooked in was also very light and had a pleasant wine flavor. I probably wouldn’t order the octopus again since it’s more of an octopus salad. That said, the octopus was tender and cooked well overall.
I would like to come back and try more of their dishes. All the food was very light, fresh, and cooked well. My fiance is celiac and he was able to eat everything we tried but the pita bread (which is unfortunate because it was so good with the dip!)
We were in the area for a business project and took a chance on this spot for an early dinner. Around 430 so wasn't crowded. Our waiter Miguel was attentive and made sure all of our additional needs were met. Many of us had nutritional/dietary restrictions and the menu was flexible. There were also gluten free options. A really cute place, great food and experience. I would definitely go back when in the area.
The staff is friendly and the pizza was delicious… unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience. We had ordered gluten free pizzas because my daughter has a severe wheat allergy. The pizza was so good and did not taste like any other gluten pizza we’ve had we had to make sure it was gluten free (my daughter had finished a slice by then) after 3 confirmations that this was gluten free, the manager came out (hearing about my daughter’s allergy) and said there was a “mix up” and were in fact NOT gluten free. We ran out and rushed to the hospital. Please don’t advertise gluten free if you don’t serve gluten free - whether it’s a choice or an allergy, restaurants should respect people’s choices/consider allergens.
One my go-to’s for a beautiful Italian meal. Love it so much, I’ve convinced my company to host our annual gatherings here!!
Their artichoke salad has me 🥰 in love and I love that they offer gluten free pasta options.
I always leave here very pleased and satisfied.
The service that the waitstaff provide is consistently warm, friendly and attentive. You get the warmth of an Italian family. Thank you for being a staple in the neighborhood ❣️
Loved this place for lunch for two, was not as great with a large party on a Saturday night. The ceviche is excellent, nachos just average. Wide range of gluten free options, including GF tortilla chips
We found this nice place by chance, we were staying in a nearby hotel.
We were intrigued by the all-wood interiors, it seemed like a welcoming environment and so it was.
The food was excellent and the gluten-free sandwich was also excellent, served with particular attention.
Accurate and attentive service.
Excellent experience, I recommend it... I hope to be able to return.
My first impression about this restaurant is that it is very large and they have a very nice decoration. From the moment we arrived the attention was good and fast.
I suggest that if you want to go with a large group of people it is better to make a reservation because although the restaurant is large, many people will come to eat.
It's my turn to have the brunch menu. If you are celiac, the truth is that it is not a very extensive menu. But I suggest the eggs with cheese and homemade potatoes, they are very good. The salads we ordered were accompanied with meat and chicken as an extra.
The food has good flavor and good size. The prices are not excessive and the size of the dishes is worth it. I hope to return to this restaurant to try the lunch menu, which they start serving I think at 4-5 in the afternoon.
I give the food 4 stars because it would be perfect to have more gluten free options.
This place is amazing.
So many gluten free options and really nice drinks.
I had their wings.
I stop by this spot every time we have a job at a highrise nearby.
I have ordered catering to the UES many times over the past year and this is always a top hit for lunch! Everyone in my office looks forward to the delicious mixed pita and sandwich trays. The prices are right for the value, because these are loaded with goodies. It is not easy to please everyone, but with Shawarmania, there is something for everyone. Despite our distance from the restaurant, the food always arrives perfectly on time and hot! I especially love that there are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. There is truly something to fit everyone's dietary needs, concerns, and restrictions. There is also consistent dedication to the customer; BIG shoutout to Jim for always treating us right :)
Great brunch. Gluten free pancakes were sold out so I had the lemon ricotta waffle...absolutely delicious! Great bloody Mary. Excellent fries. Friendly staff. Place was packed.
Ordered the steak quesadillas for delivery. They came with three + a HUGE side of tostones. The quesadillas were in corn shells, which is awesome because I’m gluten-free. Everything was delicious and the piece was not bad at all. Definitely want to try eating-in next time!
We had a late flight into New York and were looking for a place that was still open because there was no food served on the flight. When we arrived we were told the kitchen was closed but when we explained why we had gone there, the host went to the kitchen and agreed to serve us if we ordered right away.
We sat at the bar. My wife ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and my daughter had the hamburger. I had the chicken quesadillas. All three were excellent and, since the kitchen had been closed, they were all freshly made.
My wife and daughter are gluten and dairy-free and the bartender, Matt, who waited on us made sure to check back with the kitchen several times to confirm everything would meet their needs.
We were very grateful to everyone at Oliver’s Astoria…the host for not turning us away even though the kitchen had closed; the chef for agreeing to prepare meals for us after closing; and to Matt for reconfirming everything would meet our dietary needs and for providing friendly service. We would definitely go there again.
Celiac friendly
