Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Rhode Island for Night Owls

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.

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!

Erica Marinaro

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

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.

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!

Julia Geller

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.

Tina Smrkovski

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!

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!

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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++++

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.

Joyce Lefebvre

Went last night June 10 2025, Services was outstanding! There were several servers keeping bread and water full, clearing plates, bringing food, answering questions all very pleasant and prompt !! The minute we sat were served bread and water . When I asked for a gluten free menue was then offered a gluten free bread basket! When my husbands desert came I asked for an extra fork and the server remembered I was gluten free and reminded me the dessert had gluten! ( I just stole the fruit off the cheese cake!) Food and atmosphere were good but it was the service that was outstanding. From the all the staff !!

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!

Lisa Leonard

I absolutely love this place ! Jimmy’s is one of the BEST seafood restaurants around !You can’t get any fresher than this . Don’t let the lines scare you away — people wait for a reason ! And if you have Celiac , this place is a dream — they have separate fryers so you can enjoy your fried favorites again!

Wonderful. Gluten-free was excellent.

LAURIE JOHNSON

I got a Yummy gluten free pizza with pepperoni peppers and extra cheese.

Jaclyn W

I am gluten free and dairy free and I get the cheeseburger pizza every time. It’s so delicious. I always end up eating a few slices in the car. Delivery is a great option too.

Jeanne Cherry

This is the only chain where my friend with a gluten allergy has never (knock on wood) had an issue with cross-contamination. No matter which location we have gone to, the food is always good and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend.

Christine Stowell

Kim was a great server. Very thoughtful and conscientious of my gluten free needs. The food was great! Buffalo wings were amazing! And I’ve had wings from The Original Anchor Bar in Buffalo. Gluten free pizookie will be my new guilty pleasure.

Ashleigh Beland

I am allergic to gluten. They were so kind making me feel safe to eat there. Food was Amazing, so was our server!

Jules Gray

The best food!!! Never had a bad meal here and they've been consistent quality since they first opened a long time ago. If I still lived here, I'd make it a goal to try every menu item once. I wish I knew how to make such tasty wheat gluten, they have multiple textures - all delicious. They also have the best fry tofu appetizer with that lightly fluffy crisp breading, perfect size for sharing. I always look forward to eating here again!! Thank you for a wonderful restaurant which showcases how great vegan protein can be

Caitie Andris

We went because we'd been there before (before I was gluten free) and it was the tastiest thing around! And now that they have gluten free offerings, we were excited to go again. Sadly, it was the toughest thing I have ever bitten into. When I popped that first piece into my mouth, I thought there was some sort of mistake. It felt like biting a rock! And the meat was so tough. My jaw started to hurt so badly that I couldn't eat many pieces (even if they weren't good, I was hungry). My girlfriend's chicken, not gluten free, was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing! So maybe don't go if you're gluten free haha. Also they forgot to bring us our sodas, and after I reminded the waitress about them, she only gave us one (and still charged us for the two we ordered). They don't show you an itemized receipt before you pay, and after I paid I figured it was too much of a hassle. Not a big issue, but uncool nonetheless.

Hi had the pleasure of having Hernan serve my friend and I last night! He was very knowledgeable about the menu. My friend had gluten allergies and Hernan was very helpful . Thank you for your great service!

Maggie D

This is definitely a Gluten Free haven. I ordered the Cesar salad without breadcrumbs which is pretty simple. But the state for the romaine was excellent. No wilting or browning lettuce and plenty of dressing. We brought a dessert home to share later and that was DEVINE! Their Gluten free Strawberry Shortcake might be the best version I’ve had, even compared to many with gluten I’ve had in the past. (9/9/25)

Trey Enterprises

Everything was just right. We almost did not get in though. They seat the last table at 8:45. Our server was wonderful. They were able to accommodate a food sensitivity to gluten, dairy and soy. She had the hamburger and truffle fries. They have a separate gluten free fryer.

Amanda Mellor

My partner and I, on a whim, stopped by the Coast Guard House while we were driving through Narragansett yesterday afternoon and were absolutely blown away! Not only by the incredible service, (shouts out to Peter) but also the food and wine list! Whoever is running the beverage program is not messing around! I also have a gluten allergy and it’s rare to find such a large selection of gluten free options on a classic New England menu. Almost every dish on the menu could be made gluten free or was already gluten free, I was pumped. The linguini and clams might literally be the best I’ve ever had! Next to the incredible food was the insane wine list! My partner and I LOVE champagne and their list had some baller bottles. We ordered a delicious 1/2 bottle of Tarlant with lunch (we couldn’t resist). Also, if you have the funds they have Krug listed as well!! IYKYK! After lunch and champagne, the dessert list was dropped and once again all but one of the desserts were gluten free! They have a pastry chef (I believe her name is Chef Jamie) who comes in everyday at the crack of dawn to create some of these masterpieces. We ordered the honey Pot De Crème with a glass of Moulin Touchais (dessert wine from 1984) and it took what was already a perfect lunch to the next level. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Raquel Holmes

They had a gluten free menu and was able to accommodate all my food allergies. I'm not usually able to have appetizers as other restaurants have no gluten options. They had appetizers, main course and pizzas.

Ana Fogarty

Fantastic late night dinner! We walked in at 9:10pm and were greeted with enthusiasm. How refreshing to see an establishment that closes at 9:30pm, happily welcome us at such a late hour! Our server was pleasant and attentive. The menu had a great selection of specialty pizzas as well as pasta dishes. We ordered and promptly received 3 pizzas, one gluten free pizza and, one chicken Alfredo pasta dish. Everything was well done and delicious. At the end of dinner, we were unexpectedly presented us with the most mouth watering dessert pizza! After a cold, rainy evening of soccer, we couldn’t thank you enough for the delicious food and hospitality! If you are in the area, I would highly recommend visiting MidiCi!

Tora Johnson

Absolutely delicious. I have celiac disease, and they readily accommodated me with a scrumptious gluten-free meal accompanied by an excellent glad of red wine. Loved it!

Sophia Sinsheimer

Food was delicious! Our server Dakota was super nice and accommodating. Also appreciated that gluten free options were clearly marked on the menu.

Ken Joensson

Service and food is always top nothch. Best restaurant in Providence in my opinion. Big part of their menu can be made gluten free. Just ask. Sangria and Caiparinha are delish

Diane Whalen

Our waiter Connor was excellent!! My friend has allergies to gluten, he answered her questions on some of the entrees& was very accommodating to her needs! Our food was delicious. We will be back!!

VAXXO Official

Good environment, beer and food!! Also plenty of gluten-free items!

My fiance and I came to have dinner on Friday night and as soon as we walked in the door I could tell that we were going to have a hard time that night. The host at the door was not friendly and gave attitude to all people around her and was even talking bad right in front of the people that were waiting. When we sat down we waited at least 8 minutes until someone greeted us. The server was in such a rush that she did not give the time of day to tell us about the food with a smug face. I asked her about some gluten-free options And she just brushed me off and said they didn't have any tonight. I ended up getting a piece of salmon that was still uncooked in the middle and when I sent it back I did get another attitude from the server which was totally unnecessary. We don't get out a lot on our date nights and we would like to enjoy a nice dinner every once in awhile I'm a very disappointed in my experience I hope that you can train your employees a little bit more because clearly most of them don't care. I probably would not return again which is very unfortunate because it's one of our favorite restaurants.

Lauren was our server and literally the best. My friend had a gluten allergy and Lauren literally went thru the menu to reassure my friend of the dishes without gluten. The staff seemed very attentive throughout the whole dining experience too. One of my family members has a gluten allergy so I've had gluten free pasta before but this was really great and the bechamel sauce hit the spot. They even had a gluten free cake that we tried and it was incredible. It didn't fall apart or crumble which was surprising. Last time I went, I got the carbonara which was incredible. This time, I switched it up and I got the bologanese, these people don't miss at all. Solid wine prices with the classic italian reds and good variety on the drink menu. They even an interesting mocktail menu that you can add booze if you want to make it a cocktail. This place is so much more than just another italian restaurant.
