Top 18 Gluten-Free Pasta Havens Across San Diego

Unbelievably tasty crispy pillowy chewy gluten-free pizza crust I’ve ever tried. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My go-to so far is the ‘Sofia’ with mushrooms, artichoke & Italian ham. Superb service. Take your date, your mum, or heck yourself, here for a treat!

House bread with garlic butter, hot shrooms (star of the show), and Caesar salad were excellent. I think I would return just for those three things. Joey was an excellent server. I knocked off a couple stars because although our appetizers came out quickly, we waited an extremely long time for our entrées and the pesto fusilli came out room temperature, nearly cold. They accidentally served us a gluten-free widow pizza, and shortly after brought us one with the regular crust. The smoked date purée on the widow sounded intriguing, and although it was tasty, there was way too much slathered onto the pizza. I would not go so heavy handed with that covering the pizza. So overall, the entrees were meh, but the appetizers excellent!

Good pizza. Celiac friendly if you let servers know. Family friendly

First time here after seeing many positive reviews for celiac diners who have to eat gluten free. I also need to be dairy free and egg free and that had a generous selection of vegan items so I had high hopes for a good experience. They met my expectations! The sever made me feel comfortable right away when I let him know my needs. He directed me to the 2 gf pasta choices and the vegan sauces. They even had bread I could eat with their amazing tomato sauce. It’s been years since I’ve been able to have bread in a restaurant with my family. The pasta even held up to being reheated for leftovers without falling apart- bravo!!!

Wow. Just wow. We just had an absolutely elite meal here. It's an unassuming spot, with a casual but cozy ambiance. Great for a date, celebration, or really any time you want a delicious plate of pasta. If they have the mushroom flan, start with that. It was savory, and flavorful. We had the gluten free version, but I'm sure the normal is excellent as well. I was impressed with the range of gluten free options, which is always appreciated for me (celiac). My partner had the crab and shrimp cream sauce with lemon linguini pasta, and she raved about it. I had the same linguini, but with the sausage saffron sauce, and loved it. The dessert menu had a number of decadent sounding options, we settled for thr ugly chocolate cake and the GF tiaramisu. The tiaramisu was so creamy it was almost a pudding - tasty, and melt in your mouth smooth. The ugly chocolate cake (that's what they call it) was lighter than I expected, rich, but kinda airy like a soufflé. Anyway, I can't say enough about this spot. It's a gem. If you want good pasta, this place delivers in spades.

TLDR: celiac friendly My celiac friend and I stopped by to try out their gluten free flatbread and she took half of hers to go which is highly uncommon. Most gf breads are like cardboard or rubbery but this flatbread tasted just like gluten bread! She didn't get sick so there was definitely no gluten in it but whatever it was, it was amazing! I ordered gluten full tortellini which looked and tasted like it was made in house and I was completely satisfied with my meal. We stopped by just as happy hour was ending and our waiter was quick to help us get some happy hour wine orders in before it was too late. The bathroom... it an experience. Like many cities, some locations work within their confines and RoVino got very clever. The restroom is a short walk outside the restaurant which at first seems so strange because they have someone walk you down to it. At the end of the block, tucked away you'll find a very clean little walk to a door with their logo. Type in the code and you enter a 1 stall restroom. It was so random but well done, I'll be talking about that little experience for a while.

Had a wonderful dinner here this evening. I am gluten free and ordered the gnocchi and my husband had the lamb tagliatelle pasta. Great portion sizes. We ordered a bottle of the Super Tuscan which is luscious! We took what was left with us. We shared the misto salad which they graciously split for us. Our service and food were wonderful. We have been to Italy and this is top notch. Folks Italy is Italy-it’s the terroir of there and cannot be matched but this came pretty darn close! Would defiantly eat here again.

We stopped by while in the area for lunch. It was a sunny day and we were thrilled we didn’t have to wait and got a table outside under cover for shade. I ordered a gluten free flatbread with prosciutto and arugula. It was a nice size, very tasty and fresh ingredients. Service was good even though it was a busy day.

Excellent pasta, homemade as well! I'm from the land of Italians, this is 100% a hidden gem. The gluten free pasta was also delicious. It was much fresher than any other gf pasta I've tried. My girl is allergic so we try it all.

Our waiter Luca, didn't give us the full experience. Sadly I heard another waitress doing her job with such class and enthusiasm. No specials were said, the other waitress greeted her table with the specials. Apparently we weren't special. My husband's meal was lacking flavor and chicken. 3 small bits of chicken with his penne pasta. My daughters Alfredo, sauce was bland and this Mama never adds salt to ANYTHING, but this NEEDED it. It was great after I added some flavor. My tortellini fungi was amazing. My son's pizza and my mother gluten free pizza(yes they have gluten free pasta and pizza)was tasty. Never did we just get drink refills, we had to ask. Sadly I wished our waiter made our first experience here a nicer one. Don't think hubby will want to come back. 😢

My family and I went here for dinner and thought it was pretty good! The rest of my family got the normal BYO pasta and sauce, I got the gluten free spaghetti arrabiatta. I felt really jipped on my pasta and it was all broken apart. I’ve made gluten free spaghetti before so I think it was overcooked, and there was WAY too much sauce. Otherwise, everyone else enjoyed their food. I was a little confused too as to why the pesto had fresh ricotta mixed in, as that isn’t traditional of pesto sauce. Overall, nice ambiance and a good-sized restaurant, and the food tasted good, but I think the gluten free game for how they serve it to customers needs to be improved a bit.

Gluten free options available here! Great service during Covid and food lives up to reputation.

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday. She has very particular dietary restrictions currently due to a health challenge. Each person we interacted with wished her a happy birthday. They even left a card wishing her a happy birthday as well. The waiter could have been a bit more attentive with getting drinks ordered and apps started, but when he was there, he was great. Very knowledgeable about the menu. And nearly every dish was accommodated to be dairy free with sauces on the side. We are also both gluten free, so this was a dream for us. The entire menu is essentially gf. The highlight was the lamb. It was out of this world. Best we've both ever had. Way better than Kokkari Estiatorio in SF. We definitely over-ordered food, so I couldn't try the pavlova, but there was just so many good options we wanted to try. We took a box home and I'll be having that for lunch today. We'll be back for sure. The venue is also gorgeous and the head chef is a true professional. This is his craft and he's now playing in the big leagues and crushing it.

Upon ordering, I asked if the dressing in the salad was gluten free. The employee was very helpful, went back to check and even showed me a picture of the ingredients. When the salad came, there were 2 slices of bread on it. The bread was not listed as being included in the salad. I advised the server who was apologetic and said he would notify the kitchen. When the salad was delivered again, at this point my dining companion was nearly done eating, the grilled chicken that I ordered was not on the salad. Again, I waited for the grilled chicken. When it arrived, my companion was finished with their meal. Overall, was not a pleasant dining experience.

Fantastic breakfast! The food was delicious, prices were reasonable, and it's a charming, laid-back spot. This casual breakfast eatery offers lovely outdoor seating, and their cafe drinks are always good. Accommodates dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are clearly labeled.

A great place to eat , food was delicious . Gluten free/vegan options too . Staff was amazing . Unfortunately I orderd the spinach ravioli and it came out cold. My friend ordered lasagne and that came out HOT and delicious. I definitely would reccomend this place , I go to little italy often so I will be back.
