A really lovely place to meet friends for a coffee. They also cater for a gluten free diet and are very careful about cross contamination. Food and drinks are delicious ans served by very helpful and friendly staff. My go to place when meeting with friends
Great for gluten-free people, plenty of options! Portions could be a bit bigger. I was still hungry after the main with a side. I also like the fact that you can see the kcal on the menu and thereby make an informed choice!
'Bacon roll and a flat white, please.'
'Is that a sandwich or a brioche?'
'Umm,' looks at menu, which actually says bacon *butty*. 'Sandwich, please.'
'Brown or white bread?'
'Brown.'
'Gluten free?'
'No.'
'Any other allergies?'
'Is that back bacon?'
'Blue milk?'
'Full caffeine?'
Me: 'Is there any tomato sauce?'
We had chicken fajitas. The chicken was a little bit overcooked but overall it wasn’t bad. My Husband ordered a gluten-free beer. It was the best he’s had on our travels. I think it was called the stinking hen. The best part of the whole experience was the Romanian waiter/owner not quite sure. He was entertaining the whole time taught us a lot of about the Romanian culture and general world history 👍good food and much laughter What else can you ask for while dining?
Such a wonderful gem of a restaurant we found today. Recommend to us and so convenient for the theatre. Genuinely really tasty food and fantastic service. Nothing was too much trouble. My Mum is coeliac and has also recently had some other dietary requirements but the staff were so helpful and could adapt anything as it's all made fresh. Offering GF break and also pasta. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend it
The waitress was very friendly and the music wasn't too loud so talking to my guest was easy as I require hearing assistance. The pizzas were awesome and a special mention about the gluten free base which was out of this world. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful eating experience 💗
Absolutely lovely place to have a meal with friends or family,
They have gluten-free options, I had the pie and it was so yummy.
Portions are really big and all good delicious including puddings.
Thank you
I have a gluten intolerance and they looked after me well to make sure the food I had was suitable. There are alot of things on the menu that are gluten free .
I have coeliac disease, so I miss all the beautiful food flavours and textures from my past.
I bought the chicken, ham and leek, gluten free pie...... Oh My ! The best GF pie ever. Thank you so much Pirate Pasties. You made me feel so happy X
Lovely food and staff. Ran out of gluten free Yorkshire puddings but the staff made a special effort and made me two! It was very much appreciated as I know dietary requirements can be a pain in the arse. Been here twice, would definitely recommend.
My partner and I had dinner here with my parents as the restaurant is ideally located just 5mins walk from Mayflower theatre. We always struggle to find a restaurant with plenty of options as my parents are vegetarian and celiac respectively but that was not a problem at La Tavernetta. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cosy and felt authentic and we all had a lovely experience. The owner took personally tended to our table and his service was so pleasant and charming, it was lovely to hear about the history of this family owned business. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality, reasonably priced meal (lunch or dinner) and we will definitely come again if in the area.
We'd booked to go to dinner next door to Red Dog Saloon and had called them twice to confirm they properly catered for a coeliac guest; were arrived to find out they really don't so came to your restaurant instead, already knowing Las Iguanas is very attentive and accommodating for this annoying disease. The staff were just delightful, and the food and drink, as usual, was lovely.
Great place for drinks but…
Came with family ordered 3 gluten free pizza.
3 different pizzas out of 4 or five choices were THE WORST pizzas in my life. Came raw. The flavour is oily and awful just no taste and super small for that prise. . I just felt that they have never tried by them self’s. We have received pizza in 1.20 minutes. It’s the first bed review in my life.
On the other hand my dad had pork and it was amazing.
I think that they have to do something about gluten free base.
60£ waisted
Sorry for that but the actual place is good
5 stars just doesn't do this place justice!! Service incredible, food was amazing (compliments to Alice, the ribs and pork belly were phenomenal) and plenty of options to choose from for gluten allergies. This was our 2nd visit and been impressed both times, did somebody say brunch?? Thank you guys, see you soon.
🌴 A Hidden Gem in Southampton’s Ocean Village
If you’re seeking a vibrant dining experience with a tropical flair, look no further than Banana Wharf in Ocean Village. This waterfront restaurant offers a delightful blend of contemporary cuisine, stunning marina views, and a relaxed atmosphere that transports you to sunnier climes.
🍽️ Culinary Delights
Banana Wharf’s menu is a testament to culinary creativity, fusing oriental and tropical flavors with classic seafood dishes. Standout offerings include the aromatic Nasi Goreng with honey chicken and tiger prawns, and the succulent half-lobster grilled in garlic butter. Vegetarians and gluten-free diners are well-catered for, with options like gluten-free pizzas and Thai Green Curry
Great restaurant for both gluten free and coeliac, they have a completely separate menu for coeliacs and take it very seriously. Incredible food. 4/5 for atmosphere as WiFi is bad.
Coffee very good ...gluten free cake option only brownies...I don't care how good they are - just offer me something else! Suggest polenta cake or Bakewell....there are so many naturally GF cakes that can be enjoyed by others. Far too noisy inside
Pre-theatre dinner, really good staff, front of house and chef who came out to chat, great food. Gluten free? No problem. All done in time for arrival at Mayflower
Great food, safe for gluten free diners with clear easy-to-access allergen guidance. Tasty cocktails - we didn't realise there was a 2 4 1, bonus! Service friendly and welcoming from Tabs and Francesco
We are in Southampton for a flying visit and stumbled across this absolute GEM of a cafe.
The full breakfast can be adapted for a gluten free diet which was absolutely delicious. The breakfasts are cooked fresh and presentation is superb.
The staff are so so friendly, especially Stuart the owner. The atmosphere is just fab. The cafe is spotlessly clean too.
Would highly recommend this cafe.
Thank you for a fabulous breakfast!
