My second experience with Bolay and it's delicious at this particular location too. Service is great, thank you! The wings could use some work, they need more love and tenderness. If you do decide to get them, let the cooks take their time, don't rush. Either way, not worth $2/wing but the sauces are tasty. I'm allergic to wheat so I'll update if I have a reaction but they advertise 100% gluten free so bon appetit ❤️😊
10/10 do not recommend if you’re celiacs. There was a lot of confusion over what I could eat and what I couldn’t. They came up and told me what I ordered wasn’t gluten free 20 minutes after we ordered it, then proceeded to tell me it “actually was” 2 minutes later as they handed me our food.
I took the chance and that’s on me, but the cross contamination has been brutal.
Food was excellent. Tried arepa con choclo (my favorite!) and arepa con queso, patacon platter, picada, beef, chicken, and cheese empanadas, yucca fries, the fried potatoes, and the churrasco platter. The steak on the chrrasco platter was delicious and fantastically tender, and the cilantro sauce was very tasty. The staff was very helpful in clarifying which items were gluten free, which was practically all of it. Everything tasted incredible, my only regret was that my stomach was not big enough to accommodate everything on menu.
This is an excellent place to eat at if you have dietary restrictions. Lexi and Savannah went above and beyond in ensuring that my pizza wasn't cross-contaminated with gluten, and am grateful for such exemplary workers.
Simone provided us above and beyond service today! My gluten allergy was taken very seriously. The chef delivered my food.
Great selection for non gluten free folks and a decently good selection for GF folks, including GF soy sauce!
I had the gluten-free pesto chicken sandwich and it was really good. The chicken was tender, the pesto had great flavor, and the gluten-free bread surprised me — nice texture and taste. Would definitely get it again
Fantastic meal, would highly recommend! Also, great service by Francisco, he was super helpful and offered some great advice. We had a member of our party with celiac disease. One of the best accommodating restaurants we have come across in Orlando!
I’ve been a loyal customer of Sofrito because their food is undeniably excellent, and they offer great gluten-free options—a rarity that I appreciate. However, my recent experiences with their service and attention to detail have been increasingly disappointing, to the point where I can no longer support this establishment.
Over the course of my last three orders, there have been consistent issues. On one occasion, the chimichurri was so excessively salty that it was completely inedible. On another order, I received salad but no salad dressing; most recently, my order didn’t include a salad at all. These might seem like small issues independently, but together, they point to a pattern of carelessness that’s hard to overlook, especially considering the cost of dining here. My dish alone was over $36—at that price point, I expect the details to matter.
What’s even more frustrating is how poorly the management handled these issues. When I called after the chimichurri incident, I spoke to a manager who dismissed my concerns and did nothing to resolve the problem. More recently, when I called about the missing salad, they informed me that they had just started omitting salads—something a customer shouldn’t have to find out after the fact. To make matters worse, when I called again to address these repeated problems, the manager offered only a 20% credit, claiming that they couldn’t do more because they “didn’t have the item in front of them.” This response came across as dismissive and gave the impression that the manager either didn’t believe me or didn’t care to make things right.
Had we been dining in the restaurant, these issues could have been corrected immediately. But as takeout customers, we’ve been left feeling disregarded and undervalued. It’s incredibly disappointing to see such a great restaurant fail so miserably at customer service and consistency. While we gave them multiple opportunities to address our concerns, nothing was adequately resolved.
Unfortunately, this will be the last time we dine at Sofrito. Excellent food can only make up for so much when the service falls so short.
I have celiac’s disease and haven’t had a decent gluten free pizza in years. This was seriously the best pizza I’ve ever had!!! Great service and quick too!!
Excellent burger! Loved that there were off menu specialties posted at the counter. Husband enjoyed his burger on a gluten free bun. Both fresh cut fries and sweet potato fries were great! Ask for them 1/2 and 1/2 with the basket.
We came last night and sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting a great bartender Anthony! I think this might be my new favorite restaurant in Orlando! Gluten free pizza was amazing, one of the best I’ve ever eaten! Anthony made his version of cucumber mint margarita, absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to come back here with my family for brunch or dinner!
I love this place! I’m here in Florida for vacation and they were very accommodating with my GF allergy because I have Celiac disease. They do make their fries 100% gluten free. They use COMPLETE separate and clean equipment to make sure the food is not contaminated with any unsafe allergens. They have a cauliflower crust for any kind of pizza as well. Overall is very delicious and I would definitely go there again! 😁

Visiting on holiday and what a great way to spend an evening. I did the sampler menu - a great way to try different flavours. The chicken chorizo sliders are a must have! Only suggestion I would have is to try and expand options available for those with allergens (but I know it’s not easy)
Elizabeth was our server and she was excellent, especially when it came to advice on the menu to help my husband who is gluten and soy intolerant. Would recommend this place to anyone local or visiting. Thanks for a great evening!
Vegan Scoops is a game-changer! The owner was incredibly friendly, generously offering samples to me, my husband, and our kids. We chose Chocolate Chip, Choquito, and Cookies—hands-down the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had! Creamy, flavorful, and 100% plant-based, these scoops were a hit with the whole family. The owner’s passion for vegan, gluten-free treats made our visit special. A must-try in Orlando!
This spot is usually fairly quiet by comparison to the rest of the restaurants on U Blvd and I Dr. It's a place I try to stop at least once during my business trips to the area. Food is great and restaurant is clean.
The staff is excellent and helps me navigate the gluten friendly options on the menu and takes precautions to avoid contamination.
Ordered the wings (the only ones with the gluten free option) & fries. Friend ordered the pretzel. Food was good but service was VERY SLOW, even though the restaurant was half empty. Had to ask to get a server to us then our server was MIA.
This, by far, was one of the best hotel restaurants we've ever experienced! It had a great mood, day or night, great lighting, and spacious. The staff were awesome, including the hosts and the waiters. We had Jeremy multiple times and we was awesome. The menu includes multiple Gluten-free items, and the kitchen has separate facilities when making those items. This was perfect for us with one of kids having Celiac. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant multiple times. Although the prices were high (no surprise, it's a theme-park resort hotel), the food was always great! Breakfast buffet has tons of options, definitely try it.
I am Gluten Free and they made sure my sandwiches was safe. They changed gloves, had extra wrapping around my sandwich and took care of me. The manager on duty was fantastic! Will eat there again. I am a flight attendant so finding good GF food is hard in airports. I appreciate the extra effort to make sure my sandwich was safe.
Food was excellent especially since I have a gluten allergy. The staff is very knowledgeable and I feel safe eating here from past experiences.
The night we were there it looked busy. The waitstaff was not as attentive as they have been in the past, which is another reason for us to make our 1hour drive to eat here.
The noise level was LOUD! I could hardly hear my husband from across the table.
Overall, Cooper Hawk provides me a safe haven to eat out once in a while with many delicious options. Which means my husband can eat guilt-free, too.

We came to eat the gluten free pizza it was amazing lots of toppings the sauce was amazing perfectly cooked and our server Alyssa was amazing and told us to come back to dry their gluten free pasta, so we did can’t wait to enjoy it.
I will start with the FEW negatives.
Those dam wooden chairs are HARD.
The wait was LONGGGGG to be seated, as well as the food to arrive at the table.
The waffle 🧇 machine was broken, and I wanted chicken and waffle.
However, it was a Sunday ( a very busy day ), and it was PACKED, not to mention several guests had more than 4 in their party.
Ok.....
Our server is a young man named Taylor, He was TOP NOTCH!!!!!!!
He knew the menu,
He could answer questions without having to turn to another for the answers.
( Yes, it's ok to be new and not know )
He had a BRITE personality.
Ok, the food.
Shrimp 🍤 and creamy cheese grits. The reduction sauce that they are using was beautiful ( I could taste one of the old school cooking techniques that they used to make it rich ) good for them..
They are using a GOOD brand of cranberry 😋 👌🏾 juice that is not watered down or sugared up.
Now, let's talk about those gluten-free banana, butter pecan pancakes, with a side of soft scrambled eggs.
If you did not tell me, they were gluten-free, I would not have known it.
The presentation was simple and beautiful.
The taste was OUTSTANDING,
The cream.
The pecans.
The bananas.
Ohh that sauce.
Go get you some people..

One of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. I have a gluten allergy and they always take wonderful care of me. Everything is delicious although I LOVE the crispy chicken. The salsa is also out of this world.

Excellent service, so many gluten free options, amazing food choices and quality! I want to die in a bath of Brazilian cheese bread from Fogo de Chao! I do the market table/salad bar and husband enjoys the meat options.
They purposely put a noodle in my Gluten Free steamed edamame after I chose it off of the gluten free menu online. I just got out of the hospital and had a major abdominal surgery. I literally just wanted to eat some safe real food without vomiting it back up or having full body pain and histamine reactions. I have celiac disease and a wheat allergy; I dont know if they thought it would be funny to hide a noodle in the GF edamame, but if I have to go back to the hospital, I promise it will not be funny for them. I have eaten here previously and been fine but the employees on shift today, 5/9/25, around noon did not take the gluten free protocols seriously.
Sadly disappointed by this restaurant. We went out of our way to come here as I had heard it was very accommodating for gluten free individuals. Our server was terrible and not accommodating at all. He made us feel as though we weren’t wanted and he didn’t want to be there which I can understand having worked in food and bev but a good waiter never show that, especially at a restaurant at this price point. The gluten free empanadas were excellent but make sure to ask that it goes to the gluten free fryer. The mocktails were also very yummy as was the soup but don’t get the chicken wings. They are overpriced and mediocre in flavor. While food was decent with service this bad we won’t be back.
We were looking for an Italian restaurant in Orlando and we found it! Not a chain, excellent food and service! Homemade pasta with gluten-free options. Highly recommend!
I actually wasn't aware of this place until out of town friends suggested it. Very good pizza selections with vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
The staff treated us exceptionally well at this scratch kitchen restaurant. The prime rib sandwich and fries were amazing. Great variety of cocktails, and mocktails. Lots of gluten-free and pescaterian options. Ingredients were very fresh. Would visit again!
I visited Orlando with my family and after a full day at Disney we stopped at Giordano's for dinner. I got a gluten free pizza and it was the BEST gf pizza I have ever had. It didn't taste like cardboard and had so much flavor. Our server Carlos was exceptionally nice and attentive. I would 10 out of 10 recommend!!!
Fantastic food. I had the chicken fusion bowl and the chicken was delicious, very well flavored. My wife is gluten free and had plenty of tasty food options as well.
Our server Rachid really looked after us. He was super accommodating to our parties dietary requirements and very patient when we changed our minds on some stuff. The pizzas including the gluten free were incredible and the salad was great too. All round great experience!!
Tisha our server was fantastic!! She was super friendly, attentive and helpful!! She answered any And all questions we had and made sure I was good with my gluten allergy! Food was also amazing!
In live with this place, they have gluten free options and it was amazing. The girls Maryori and Carolina were super nice and friendly. I would definitely return. My very delicious cassava waffles and my divine chai latte
Diego was awesome. Super friendly and accommodating to our gluten allergy. There was a mix up and very quickly made it right. Brought our food out to us with a smile. Highly recommend Sliders Pizza!!
This is the BEST priced pizza that's also really delicious! Some places trade one for the other. Either good price and meh pizza or great pizza at a meh price. I had a half and half 13-inch pizza for 9.96 before tax that was super tasty. I also tried their Stromboli that was super cheesy with light pepperoni, and it was great! They also have gluten-free options as well. The only downside is that there are no 2 liters for drinks, but its not a deal breaker considering all the beverage options they do have. You watch them make your food right in front of you, and the toppings are almost endless and moderately priced. The location is great. It's right near the water and close to the library and publix. There's even outdoor seating. Bathrooms are clean, and the staff is super friendly! I would definitely recommend anyone who even likes pizza a little bit to come visit here. This may be my favorite spot in Orlando!
