Top 50 Gluten-Free Pasta Havens Across Texas

Adam Pyle

Three of us had a late lunch here today and the food was fantastic. One of our party members has celiac so the menu being almost completely gluten free without having to ask for substitutions was why we gave it a try. We tried the mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, banger and mash and finally the sticky toffee pudding cake. Everything came out very hot and delicious with generous portions even from the lunch menu. Service was great as well. She knew the dish’s ingredient information and was very kind and attentive.

Service is always top notch! The food was excellent, the creme brulee and drinks were awesome! I love the fact that they have so many gluten free options. Definitely will be back!

Y’all. We just found the most amazing Italian restaurant in Dallas—and nearly everything can be made gluten-free! 😭🍝 We were out on a date night and happened to drive past @kennysitaliankitchen—I had it on my list because I’d heard they had gluten-free options. So glad we stopped! Our waitress told us that almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free—and it’s celiac-safe, prepped in a separate part of the kitchen. That alone made my night! Even better? They had vegetarian options too. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and let me tell you… it was next-level good. Perfectly crunchy (not soggy like it usually is), with a rich, flavorful sauce. You can literally see the crispy texture in the dish—absolutely beautiful and delicious. And yes—they have gluten-free bread! Soft, warm, fluffy little pillows of joy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat at Italian restaurants watching everyone else eat bread while I sip water. Not this time. 🥹 The vibe? Classic and cozy—checkered tablecloths, soft candlelight, family photos on the walls, and Italian music floating through the air. Total old-school charm. They can also make regular (non-GF) versions of dishes, so everyone in your group will be happy. Honestly, everything was incredible. This place is an absolute gem, and I already know I’ll be back very soon!

I loved that they got gluten free food

I ordered gluten free items on the menu (told the server I have Celiac - he said he had a celiac button on the register). The food did not come out with the gluten free flags. As someone with celiac, this is a great comfort to know the food was prepped with caution and not mixed up in the kitchen!

Oliva popped into our google search while we were in Ft. Worth. When we saw it had gluten-free options, we decided to try it out. The restaurant was packed upon arrival, and we were told it was Graduation Weekend. We were seated within just a few minutes of our arrival. I asked for the gluten-free menu - a lot of options on it, including desserts. However, the menu item I ordered came out with spaghetti noodles instead of linguine, without warning. I chose not to say anything because pasta is pasta. I also ordered the minestrone and was surprised by the huge portion. It tasted good and was gluten-free - no pasta or beans in the minestrone, so basically vegetable soup. My husband ordered the tortellini with chicken, and while there was ample chicken, there were few vegetables on the dish. I found the same problem with my meal - a vegetarian option, with very few veggies and mostly pasta. The pasta was swimming in water, which might be traditional, but if you like your pasta 'drier,' you'll need to ask them to drain it before placing it into the dish. Plenty of leftovers to take home - had 2 more small meals from them. Oliva is well-lit when sitting in the front room or near the windows, but very dim near the back of it, toward the bathrooms and kitchen. The furniture is nothing special - the use of plastic placemats instead of tablecloths is not impressive. The service was good, and everyone appeared to be very busy, friendly, and willing. If you imbibe in Limoncello, you don't want to miss the housemade! It is served in a cordial glass, ice cold, and very refreshing. Overall, I feel this is a nice, casual, family eatery that has confidence in the service of their clientele. Oliva has plenty of options, and the food and service are good while not being overly pricey.

The gluten free Bolognesa was the best pasta dish I have ever had. Lexi was an upbeat, fun server as well. Will definitely be going back.

Cecilia McFeters

Jonathan was amazing, so hospitable and knowledgeable! Gluten free options and omg was it amazing. To get a Primavera, grilled chicken, GF and to be so flavorful! The entire experience was 5 stars!

Beth Coyle Mueller

Easy, comfortable place to get a good meal and glass of wine. Watch sports in the bar area, or enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio covered in greenery when the weather is nice. Great menu, everything is always fresh. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available. Servers are cheerful, mostly college students, they are attentive without bugging you. Pasta substitutions can be made... I asked for fettuccine instead of penne, no problem. Portions are generous, I always have to take some home! There are a few quiet corners, but it's mostly a wide open and friendly place with lots of conversations going.

Valerie Harbour

Great wine selection. Food is tasty! Gluten free and vegetarian friendly. Our waitress, Elizabeth, was fantastic! Make sure to make a reservation.

Hunter Bradford

My family and I had a wonderful time here. The wait staff was very kind and accommodating to some of us needing gluten free options. They even had their own gluten free menu which made it very easy to find what we wanted to eat. My wife is not gluten free and loved the bread. Not to mention, all pasta and pizza dough is made from scratch every morning. I love the idea of knowing my food hasn’t been sitting for days in a fridge. When I’m back in South Padre, I would dine here again.

Misty Pierce

I love Palio's - the Mediterranean is my favorite & Mom likes the Hawaiian. They have good beer & wine and a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. It's a good place to order, pick up pizza and go, as well - the wait time isn't very long. Palio's also has cauliflower crusts for the gluten free crowd which is nice. It's my favorite pizza place in town!

Heather Knapp

I absolutely loved this!!!!! gluten-free beer and pizza!!! I let the server know I was Gluten Free and they made sure to show me all my options. They can accommodate most of the menu to be Gluten Free!

Inga Bentley

Grabbed take out and it was super easy to order online and grab to go. Ordered the gluten free crust and both pizzas were phenomenal! Would get again.

Megan N

Celiac friendly! Great wine selection and delish food. My 15 year old loved the fried chicken and cheesecake. Aesthetics were bougie and beautiful. Recommend.

I Palacios

Amazing food! I thought it was vegetarian and was so surprised to find out it was totally vegan and gluten-free! I truly didn’t miss anything. Packed with flavours and spices. Cute decor. Was a little hard to find but totally worth it. Great place. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

Non Gluten Eaters— This review is for you. We were looking for somewhere to eat dinner where we could watch a hockey game and I could eat decent food as a gluten free eater. Taverna Rossa had a good amount of TVs and a gluten free menu to make those options accessible and easy to find. They verified whether I had an allergy. I tried the chips & queso, which I enjoyed. The GF vegan pizza crust was decent and the amount of toppings on it was a good balance. I also tried a cider and their root beer on tap. The service was good (even helping me find a good table to have multiple views of TVs for our party). Great that the restrooms were clean too. I’d definitely recommend trying out this place if you’re looking for either of these things!

Jenna

Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff. You can also follow my journey navigating gluten-free life with EoE over at @glutenfreewitheoe on Instagram for more great finds!

Love their gluten free options!

Great gluten free pasta

Abigail Alvarez

Great Gluten Free Alfredo but do NOT order with Favor! Management handled this situation well, but I will be sick for multiple days because my order did not display as gluten free when Favor reported it to the restaurant. Thankfully, I had eaten here almost a year ago and remembered that their gluten free alfredo comes with rotini (corkscrew) pasta and not fettuccini noodles so I only had a few bites before calling the restaurant. Roman Cucina has an extensive gluten free menu, and their food tastes great. Plan a time to go in-person and enjoy their weekday drink specials. Five stars for the staff and food. Zero stars for Favor (at this location).

Gluten free pizza 14". One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. Usually the toppings are light and there's barely enough cheese or meat on the pizza. I will definitely be getting another one!

Tonight we had our church volunteer appreciation dinner at Carrabba’s. What an awesome night! The restaurant looks stunning, even more so than usual with all the holiday decorations. I have been coming here for many years, and it is always beautiful and an amazing experience. Tonight Ishmael and Darwin and the support staff were wonderful. I never had to ask for my glass to be refilled, or my plate to be taken. No small task with 25 people in the room for dinner. Being a former server it always is a breath of fresh air to receive excellent service, especially in this day and age of lackluster experiences at most restaurants after 2020. Every modification I asked for was kindly given to me, which I really appreciated because of being gluten free but still wanting the chicken Marsala. They had a smile on their face after any request that was made by anyone at the table, and I felt like family as I sat there. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken Marsala here is probably the best I’ve ever had. I ate the chicken Marsala at one of the franchises of Carraba’s at the airport in Atlanta in October and it was not even close. It didn’t even compare to how delicious the food is here st the Original. The servers even knew exactly when to close the doors so that we could have some quiet while we ate, visited, played a game, and went around the room to talk about the past year and our grateful hearts for our church family and our pastors. Although I do my best to give compliments instead of complaints, I don’t always succeed in remembering to do it. However, I had to post a review now while I was thinking about it so you would know how happy the whole group was with the meal and the service. Thanks for always being consistently great, guys!

The gluten free Alfredo was lacking in flavor and not worth the price

Em L

Went here for brunch and it was great! Pretty patio, and a mimosa flight is only $6! They have so many gluten free and vegan options, so there is something for everyone. Cute place

Julissa Garcia

Had a wonderful dinner at Piola's! They have gluten free options marked on the menu and all of the staff were kind. My food was amazing and our waitress was so helpful and charismatic! It was a bit of a shock at first that this restaurant is inside of a house, and parking was a bit confusing to find, but overall a great dinner experience.

Alyssa Castro

This is a great place to try great food. Also, they have a gluten free menu. We have come twice and both times food and service has been great.

brad stewart

Awesome food. Service was fantastic as well. Lots of gluten-free options.

ItsallGod GoodLord

I could seriously eat here every day and I wouldn’t get tired of it! Everything cooked to perfection! Fine dining! Affordably priced! Plenty of gluten free options! 😄 Who could ask for more!?!? A very special thanks goes to our host, Jose. I appreciate you making me and my sister feel like the Queens that we are.✨

Jamie Wilde-Barrientos

Informed the server that my husband and I both needed anything we ordered to be gluten free. Ordered the Calabrese Caprese which was delicious and we both did BYOB with the gluten free penne and we both had issues. I was so sick and had horrible stomach cramps by the time I finished eating. I'm not sure if staff was not knowledgeable enough in the back to take precautions but there was definitely cross contamination. Maybe they use the same water? IDK but would not recommend if you are celiac and have an allergy. Too bad as the vibe was cool. I tried to Blue Milk and About Last Thyme and both were terrible. About Las Thyme was way too heavy on the jalapeno and the Blue Milk has so much nutmeg in it, it's overpowering. My friend has the sangria and said it was delicous

Lara

Great place for Italian food and especially gluten free! Our server Joey was phenomenal. He offers awesome suggestions. I thoroughly appreciate how well he took care of me and my family for Mother’s Day dinner. As a celiac, dining safely is priority and Joey went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Matthew Sesco

I came here one day and had the best burger I have had in my entire life on gluten free sourdough! Since then I have come several times after that for the same meal to be told they didn’t order any bread. Why does a restaurant not order bread? Please let me come and enjoy a meal and not leave without eating wondering why bread wasn’t ordered that would be nice.

Hannah Ballard

Had a great time here for my birthday dinner with friends! I made a reservation on open table which was also very easy. They have complimentary valet parking which is amazing in this area. I had the butterfly spritz, shrimp scampi and complimentary birthday tiramisu which was incredible! The staff were all lovely and so accommodating of gluten free and vegan dietary restrictions in our party. Also the prices were so reasonable for the quality of everything. Would definitely go back for another nice occasion!

Madison Collins

While this place is cute the food and service were a massive let down. As a gluten free family we were really hopeful. We waited an hour after ordering to recieve a doughy, majorly undercooked pizza, 2 wrong orders, overcooked noodles, and what tasted like canned sauces. On top of that if we wanted an appetizer order of gluten free bread it would be $10 for prepackaged bread. I can ok paying $10 for homemade gluten free bread, but $10 for the stuff i can get for $6 at Aldi? No way. As for those wrong orders? They rushed trying to make them right making them messed up STILL. The lemon wine sauce was straight up wine with some lemon squirted in it and my filet would have tasted better if it was from a texas roadhouse, at least it would have had flavor. $30 for an unseasoned steak and very very sour and off tasting horseradish potatoes was not worth it. The food was such a disappointment I turned down dessert, which for me is a big deal. I just didn't want to order a cream brulee and have it taste like eggs or something. Overall this place wasn't worth the price nor the insane wait when we arrived at a very slow time.

Jennifer Gerschultz

This restaurant had five stars from my family until today. I ordered carryout for our typical order that’s $250+. My elementary school daughter is celiac and has to eat gluten free options. Her order tonight was terrible. We order this regularly, too. The pasta was far undercooked (crunchy, not merely al dente), and the sauce was an awfully sour and watery green mess. The cooks forgot half the recipe in the sauce, no pine nuts, no cheese, no capers. Very disappointing. Now, I have to source new food for her at 8:30 at night.

Maesan Carley

Great food. It would be nice if there were more Gluten Free options but the choices they had were good. We got the pork chop and fried zucchini. Didn’t have any issues.

Caroline Peters

My mom and I stopped at this restaurant on our drive out to Utah. This place is super cute, the food is absolutely delicious, and even the bathrooms have fun art in them. I always appreciate when a restaurant makes an effort to create nice bathrooms. I got the gluten-free pasta with the creamy pesto and baked parm on top, and I moaned out loud on my first bite. Hence the 5-stars. My mom got the meatless with the tuscan pork, which was amazing. Our waiter, JC, was excellent, friendly, and funny. Great friendly service all around.

Madison M

The gluten free cacio e pepe is excellent!

Karen Jones

We were seated with Jordan on Father’s Day. He was incredibly patient, friendly, knowledgeable (gluten allergies), and accommodating. Jordan made our experience very special and memorable. We will ask for him when we return!

Albert Kruzel

Good food and plenty of be choices for my son who is gluten free.

Ann Harding

Steve Kaehler

Gluten free options are extensive.

Melissa

Great, friendly service from Leanna! She was able to discuss gluten-free options - difficult to eat out having Celiac but she helped us choose a delicious gf meal. Highly recommend -

Destiney Maxwell

This place is really amazing! The service was top tier! They have gluten free options, I was able to get an Appetizer, Meal, and Dessert. The Whipped Ricotta with Gluten-free chips was very good, the Americano Pizza with Gluten-free crust was even better, and Oh my goodness the Gluten-free Torte was to die for. Highly recommend!

Karen Roberts

Finally! Delicious gluten free Italian food! I ordered the penne pasta with grilled chicken… delicious. We will be back!

Megyn Blanchard

Cozy. Excellent food and service. Had the trout and shashito peppers and wine. So many gluten free options

mike36dc

Gluten-free Italian sausage pasta rocked. My wife's shrimp was delicious. Great inside with nice people, but the food is the gem here.

melody fraser

I’ve been a Carabba’s girl since I was in my 20s, and Carabba’s Woodlands has always been a hometown gem. Tonight, I had the Filet Bryan with sautéed spinach—both gluten-free—and every bite was spoon-lickin’ delicious. The service? Impeccable, as always. It’s not just about the food. This place is woven into my life’s story. I have the sweetest memories here—sitting on the patio with my best friend, sipping wine while he strummed the guitar, patiently teaching me chord by chord. From childhood visits to family dinners, this spot has seen it all. Tonight, we celebrated my daughter’s graduation. I rang in my 50th here too. Through every milestone, every meal has been a hit. Never once a bad meal or experience .

kathryn guthrie

Crisp is super yummmmy !! I really enjoy their gluten free pizzas and I’m gluten free . Love the drinks as well. Parking isn’t bad which is good, solid three stalls in the bathroom . The music isn’t super loud , The outside is nice on a good weather day. Happy hour is the way to go as the GF crust is an extra $6 which is steep tbh.

Angela Hough

They are always so friendly, and helpful with wine choices. I love going here, and have taken many of my friends and family members. Wish there were a couple more gluten free/grain free dishes. I tend to order the same 2 dishes again and again.
