Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community.
Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients.
I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you
Food was ok, came out quickly and service was great but it was busy and relatively loud while we were dining. The ramen was the most disappointing to me- noodles seemed borderline overcooked and the broth was just salty but with little actual flavour. I found it to be some of the more blah vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. It was either super spicy or just tasted like rice. The vegan cream cheese seemed a little off to be honest but that’s on me for not saying anything. I will say they’re great at accommodating allergies as I’ve heard they’ve accommodated gluten free + avocado allergy.
The Best empanadas I've ever eaten!!!
Served warm with generous filling, many vegetarian or gluten free options. I've tried the mushroom empanada and the banana and dulce de leche (sweet), they were both delicious and at a good price.
They have some good refreshing drinks too.
I definitely recommend!
THE BEST Ramen I've had! Can't wait to go back and try a different one. I had the signature pork, and the pork belly just melts in your mouth....not the broth!. Delicious!
Also HUGE selling point, which brought us there was the Gluten Free Ramen!. My kiddo, who is GF said the noodles were just ok, but the rest of the soup was yummy!. Can't find many GF Ramen places so we will definitely be back!
The desserts are fun and tasty as well!
Great food, really cute, and they were able to make things gluten-free for someone with celiac disease. Thank you Ronnie for being so accommodating and nice!
We'd eaten here almost exactly a year ago and really loved the gluten free and vegan options so we tried it again. Ordered the mediterranean chicken, shrimp, lamb and falafel rice bowls for takeout. Didn't bother checking the order as we waited for it and were in communication with the cashier at the time who let us know our order was ready. Get home and they switched the shrimp for some gyro seeming meat and didn't bother to label the lamb and chicken which looked suspiciously similar. The person who ordered the chicken last year couldn't eat their dish as it seemed to be way over spiced. The person who ordered the shrimp was understandably disappointed but it was too far and too late to go back. Will not order from Healthyish again as it was a very sad meal - with the exception of the falafel bowl which was delicious.
AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT. I say for 3 reasons: 1. All the staff are Italian 2. A member of my dinner party lived in Italy for several years, is fluent in Italian who also has an Italian husband and she confirmed this place screamed proper Italian 3. It gave me massive nostalgia of my recent trip to Italy a few months ago.
I came with a party of 7 for my girlfriend's birthday. The manager Andrea was there at the front door to welcome us and quickly made small talk with our Italian speaking party members. We were sat upstairs in a balcony type seating which gave us a full view of the dining room - absolutely beautiful.
Our waiter Marco was attentive and knowledgeable about the whole menu. We had a child with celiac so he quickly told us everything that she could eat and she loved every bite of it!
All of the appetizers were amazing especially the meatballs, we had to order a second round. We ate the calamari, salads, and burrata which tasted amazing. We ordered individual pasta entrees of different varieties. Each member of my party could not stop talking about how delicious it was - IT WAS PROPER AL DENTE.
Drinks are so reasonably priced. A glass of wine is $10-$14 which is SOO cheap in my opinion but all the wine tasted amazing - the bottles all cost about $40-$50 which is very affordable.
To further compliment Marco, it was a busy evening but he never forgot a single thing we ordered even down to the modifications in a single persons entree. Even if his other duties created a longer wait time for our requests he continually reassured us that he would take care of it which he did.
Desserts were phenomenal and they were nice to us to comp a dessert for the birthday member. We had the Tiramisu, Red Velvet Cake, and the Panna Cotta.
Each one tasted amazing and we continually ate them despite how full we all were. Andrea was also so kind to bring the celiac child (Born in Italy and also speaks Italian) some gelato as it was gluten free and she was so thankful!! Andrea also gave us some Limoncello which tasted delicious!
As someone who works for a high-end restaurant in San Francisco, Bottega truly is one the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting. This place is 20/10 and I WILL be back as soon as I can.
This is a repost of my yelp review, I wanted to make sure it was on both google and yelp.
Vegan sausages. Beyond Hot Italian and Beyond Brat, both delicious. (They also have a Beyond burger). They allow you to switch up the sides and offer a great salad. You can also add hot peppers and sauerkraut. Get the gluten free bun or no bun for fully vegan. Rosumunde also generally has sour beers on tap.
Pizza joint within the mission district area with quick-pick up options for square, thick crusted pizza. Although the appearance itself was very appetizing, the texture of the bread was pretty dry and did not feel high quality. The toppings were slightly excessive and drowned out the integral pizza ingredients including the cheese and sauce. The price did not equate to the quality or quantity of the pizza and the staff did not understand I had just wanted one of each pizza type, so they ended up charging me more than I had wanted. The environment is more accustomed for take out. No gluten free options.
When I first saw my burrito I thought there was a mistake and it was on a regular flour tortilla… they are that good! I get so used to gluten free stuff being a crappy but necessary substitute, this is so amazing though it doesn’t feel like it’s gluten free at all. Thank you!
Great brunch spot with an extensive menu that can accommodate dietary restrictions! We visited for a late Saturday brunch around 1:15pm and were seated right away. I ordered the chicken and waffle and my friend ordered the original benedict with gluten free bread. We both also got glasses of red sangria. Both dishes were great! I was especially impressed with the quality of the chicken. Fair portion size and quite affordable pricing for SF brunch.
Other reviewers have mentioned how beautiful this space is and the great service. I came on here to make sure that everyone with a gluten allergy knows they have delicious (some of the best) gluten free pasta including a GF tortellini! I often have to search reviews to find out if restaurants accommodate my allergy and it’s not listed on the menu but they do!
Loved the food here - so many delicious and unique things we’ve never seen before. We had the rolls, eggplant starter, koko wings, cheese and mushroom empanada, crispy pork belly, and coconut milk braised cassava. The wings, empanada, and cassava were especially standouts. We were so impressed that the empanadas were gluten free - we want to bring all our gluten free relatives here because you can’t find that anywhere!
We sat on the outdoor heated patio, which is a very fun atmosphere. Music is great, audible but not too loud for conversation, and in the tent you definitely could forget you’re on Mission St.
Their wine selection is also great!
Love this place - been following them since they were inside the MEDA space. Extremely friendly and dedicated staff putting so much care into each dish. I'm gluten free and vegetarian - they made a special memela for me without pork fat. I also got a Oaxaca Chocolate, which the serve brings to your table and mixes and pours the divinely sweet warm chocolate milk from a handmade ceramic pot into your ceramic mug. Came here on a Thursday evening after work with two friends. It can take some time for the food to come out as they hand craft each dish in a small space - but worth the vibes and the wait. They also have local art work displayed in the dining area. They serve beer, wine and lots of N/A beverages (aguas fresca, coffee, hot chocolate and more). Also highly recommend the champurrado :)
