Panini Grill was a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. As someone who eats gluten-free, it was such a treat to enjoy a flavorful, satisfying meal without compromise. Highly recommend!
It was nice to go on Memorial Day. Good weather so we ate outside. We had a gluten-free pizza and the wings. They have the best gluten-free pizza on Staten Island. The wings are the greatest. Why not go see a movie afterward since the theater is right next door?
went on a friday night, service was very good seated right and served in a timely manner. options for gluten free and even vegan appetizers and entrees.
I discovered the Z-Two Diner back in April 2024 after a Judas Priest concert in NJ and my buddy and I were both starving late at night when nothing else is open, especially for two guys with Celiac Disease, which means we can only eat gluten free. We drove there on the way back to Brooklyn and we both had one of the many choices of burgers on a GF bun with GF steak fries. The food to say the least was delicious and of good quality.
I normally don't like diner food because the quality tends to be sub-par and typically the flavors are very bland. Since that night in April, I have been back to Z-Two almost every weekend with my family, especially since I've relocated to Staten Island. The food is still very good, the service and the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. They always have a smile on their faces and love to delight you with funny stories and small talk. The atmosphere is modern and the restaurant is clean. There's plenty of free parking in the parking lot.
I highly recommend visiting the restaurant if you've never been there and try the food.
Writing as a review of the gluten-free pizza since there haven't been any for a while. I appreciate that it's an option and they can do a lot of variety with the toppings, but I really didn't care for the crust. It was extremely thin and crispy, almost like a cracker, and the edges were somewhat burnt. I got the veggie pizza and I'm not sure if the veggies watered down the pizza sauce or something but it tasted off - somewhat watered down, not very seasoned, and stronger tomato flavor. I was with some friends who had a couple regular pizzas, they tried the gluten-free and mostly agreed that it tasted quite different from the regular pizza's sauce. Service was good, restaurant was clean and I didn't have any symptoms after eating the pizza (I have Celiac) but it was not one I'd go back for. One of my friends said he liked the crust because he likes that style, but the rest of it wasn't as good.
I have been searching high and low for the best gluten free pizza on Staten Island and I think I’ve found it here! The crust is not floppy, it’s crispy and delicious. I will be ordering my gluten free pizzas from here from now on.
Absolutely delicious Italian pizza, pasta and entrees! There are so many pizza choices, my favorites were the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the Grandma with a sesame seed crust, soooo yummy! We shared the seafood salad with large shrimp, mussels and tender calamari and the beautiful cold cut platter. The pasta with bolognese was fabulous and so was the chicken francese. They even have gluten free pizza and pasta. Finish with cappuccino and the oh so fresh cannolis and zeppoles. Bring the entire clan as the prices are very reasonable at this wonderful family friendly restaurant.
The BEST gluten-free chicken parmigiana by far in my years so far being gluten free and it was a great portion, had leftovers!! Delicious GF appetizer, entree, dessert options. Will be back for sure can’t wait to try their GF pizza
This restaurant just opened a few months ago and based on my first experience, I definitely plan on being a repeat customer.
I would say the food is a blend of American, Brazilian and Italian. We got the burrata (special), rib eye steak, vodka parm with a side of gluten free pasta in mushroom truffle sauce (yes, they have gluten free pasta!) and cheesecake. Everything was exquisite - the quality of ingredients is evident throughout every meal from the burrata to the entree to the cheesecake (which was made in house).
Aside from the food, the service and hospitality was the best I have ever experienced. I felt like I was one of the family and that my business was genuinely appreciated. The chef even came out to thank us and asked exactly how we wanted our meals, which was wonderful because we got to customize our entrees to our specific likings.
This was the best restaurant experience I have had in a while- highly recommend!
Greek Xpress Hylan Boulevard is our favorite go to!! My daughter has severe celiac disease and eats worry free from their gluten free menu options due to their cross contamination safety precautions and dedicated separate fryers. We have been customers for a year now, so this has been proven time and time again, consistently having a positive experience. Portions are plentiful, well seasoned and just overall delicious! The owner and staff members are very friendly and welcoming. Grace is a superstar and knows my daughter’s order by heart! It’s a very happy day for my family when it’s Greek Xpress day!
Came here for your typical Saturday early dinner vibes was told no menu substitutions on the weekend, so I didn’t order food as I couldn’t get my regular order, so instead ordered a side of fries, another person at the table asked for a side of honey mustard was told to use the one in another plate that is on the table. My waitress was absolutely not helpful accommodating or recommending. Also the bus boys have no idea what is going on or what table the food is going to, had to get their attention after circling the area with our food to let him know it was ours. Pretty disappointing as this is typically my go to spot for nice days unsure if I will be returning again.
Also had a gluten free person with our group, no other options other than salad I mean get with the times.
JEEZ!!! Who would ever think that a phenomenal restaurant such as this would exist within Staten Island. With the numerous amounts of restaurants that claim to specialize in “Italian Cuisine”, Dolce Fantasia truly brings value and meaning to those two words. The spectacular vibrant atmosphere, professional service, scrumptious varieties of dishes along with many selections of delightful deserts sets this place apart from any restaurant that exists on Staten Island, hands down. This restaurant sets extremely high standards for food and service, so much so, that inevitably some people will not be able to comprehend. Nonetheless, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, Dolce Fantasia expertly serves its customers with delicious foods that’ll kick some life back into you, which some (a lot) of us need. My experience here was great and I highly recommend y’all pay a visit to this gem.
P.S. The Gluten Free Chocolate Soufflé (sounds like a freaking weapon) is from beyond this planet, which by far is my favorite desert which will literally put you in a trance because it’s that damn good.
THIS IS NO LONGER PROJECT BRUNCH!! It’s now called Flores Brunch. It is not similar to project brunch at all. We came for the gluten free cinnamon bun pancakes and they don’t have that option. Only gluten free bread. If we knew that project brunch no longer existed we wouldn’t have driven across the island to eat sub par food that I could have made better at home. I normally do not leave reviews but this really annoyed me that it still states that Project Brunch is open at this location when it is an entirely new place. The waitress laughed in my friends face for ordering an “iced dirty chai latte” and said “I’m going to have a hard time explaining that one to the people in the back” meanwhile it was on their menu. My breakfast burrito came out with literally just eggs and bacon in it and my friend’s scrambled eggs looked like a filet of fish, it was inedible. Will not return - we only stayed because we drove so far out to go to Project Brunch. At least, my cinnamon latte and home fries were good.
Review for those with any allergy to gluten: I’ve been given flour tortilla with my tacos instead of the 100% gluten free corn tortillas I asked for twice! The second time I just returned them, but the first time I trusted that I got what I asked for. Be very careful.
Gluten free options galore! From pizza to garlic bread to burgers, I had plenty of options here. The gluten free pizza/ garlic bread crust was like no other that I have tasted- not the cookie cutter style which you could tell just came out of the freezer. This one was thin crust like a flatbread pizza. Plus the blue cheese and vodka sauce were all home made.
Also, we got to meet the owner and he was incredibly hospitable and appreciative of our business. Will definitely be coming back.
Staff was very friends and super accommodating of allergies. We had a fixed menu but they still went out of their way to create a pasta dish that was gluten-free, and even offered to make a special appetizer that would be allergy friendly. All the food was delicious
My church group had a truly lovely Saturday afternoon lunch with a view of the water and sunny blue skies. The portions were more than ample & we all had such a wonderful experience. Our server was also extremely helpful in amending items for gluten intolerance and putting the drinks on a separate tab.❤️
Amazing experience. I went here on a Wednesday night and did not have any complaints whatsoever. The food was absolutely delicious, the decor/ venue is very pretty and the service was wonderful. Javier was our waiter and he was so knowledgeable and versed on the menu I honestly thought he was the chef. I was in the mood for something specific and he literally - and patiently- gave me different options for alternative sauces to see what I preferred. We are quite particular about ingredients but he was very accommodating with our other requests and everything was made perfectly. We got salmon, oven roasted cheese, tavern burger and the 3 mousse dessert (not pictured). They also have gluten free pasta so I plan to try that next time. Highly recommend and I’m very excited to have discovered this restaurant. Our business felt very much appreciated and we even got to meet the owner, who was an absolute gentleman.
