Great breakfast sandwich and coffee. Reasonable prices and good service! I overheard that they have gluten free options for some sandwiches which is great. I was here around 12/12:30 and there was only one girl taking orders and making all the drinks but she was crushing it, I don’t know if I could handle the constant rush that well! I wish I’d gotten her name but shoutout to her and everyone working this morning!!
My wife and I eat out a lot — probably more than we should — and honestly, most places blur together. Same look, same food, same “safe” hotel kitchen vibe. Napoletana Pizzeria & Bar is a refreshing exception.
It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you’d find in Italy, or the way Boston’s North End used to be before it got over-gentrified. The food is bold and rustic, the space has real warmth — exposed brick, wood beams, no flash — just good energy and honest cooking.
We often go during Happy Hour (4–6pm). The menu stays the same, but the prices on drinks and appetizers drop. From the main menu, don’t miss the Griglie Miste — a mixed grill of sausage, steak tips, and chicken. Everything is cooked just right, and the char from the grill brings it all together. It’s big enough to share, but you might not want to.
The Mussels Fra Diavolo are another standout. Served as an appetizer, but easily a meal on their own. The broth is deep, rich, and spicy — and if heat isn’t your thing, they’ll tone it down while keeping the flavor. We get them almost every time.
If they have it, grab a glass of the Toscano wine. It’s imported by their parent company, Tuscan Kitchen, and it punches way above its price.
The pizzas? Excellent. Rectangular (except for gluten-free), crisp crust, fresh toppings — exactly what you want from a proper pizza.
The service is always sharp and friendly. Napoletana has become our go-to spot. It’s not trying to be trendy. It just is that good.
First time going for lunch on a Saturday and it was a great experience! The service was wonderful and the food and drinks were delicious. I consider the menu to be more “modern” Mexican with some really cool and unique offerings and solid portions. I highly recommend the confit pork belly taco, masa fried shrimp taco, and OG tofu taco. 🌮 I also love that their soft shells are made from gluten-free blue corn tortillas and that they have vegetarian options as well. Very eager to go back and try their brunch!
Stopped in after hitting up the Kittery Outlets. Went around 3:00 so the place was close to empty. The food and drinks were AMAZING. I got the Burger with an adult milk shake. My wife (gluten free) got the Reuben burger with the apple pie margarita. My wife said it was one of the best burgers she's ever had. Server was accommodating with my wife's gluten allergy and to d came out quick. We will be coming back ASAP.
My favorite coffee shop in town!! Love the baked goods - the gluten free options are awesome too. The coffee is always delicious and a large selection of tea. Very cute space with goodies to buy. Would be great for gifts!!
Came back and tried the Tchaikovsky and it was delicious!!
I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to after our experience at this lovely establishment. We stumbled across this place on accident and we are surely glad we did. We were met by kind, patient and knowledgeable service. The menu is intimate with flavorful options many of which could be gluten free! There were descriptions of each item which was helpful if you don’t know Thai cuisine. I wanted to try everything because all of the dishes sounded sooo good. When the food arrived (in a timely manner) the presentation, flavors and portions were just right! You can tell the chef cooks with his heart. Every bite is unique and flavorful! The dishes I tasted were even more elevated than those I’ve had in Thailand. We will definitely be back to sample the differently monthly specials. Thank you Five81*NE!
Very loyal customer of Jersey Mikes. Staff is super friendly and great at accommodating my gluten allergy. They use separate tools and wipe everything down in front of me and always in stock on gluten free bread. Never have to worry when coming here!
I love this place! Firstly, I appreciate that the food is Organic. It is hard to find places to eat that serve Organic food! They serve a wide variety of very delicious smoothies, brunch foods, fresh pressed juices, snacks, and some sandwiches. I love that they default to gluten free bread too! My only suggestion would be to add just a little more to the chicken salad sandwich- I loved it but it needed some pickles or some extra lettuce to add the crunch factor.
The atmosphere in here is such a nice vibe- there are real plants everywhere, a trendy modern wooden style to the decor and furniture, and it feels so bright and roomy! The bathroom was super clean and even had a little plant cutting on the sink.
The restuarant feels interactive as well. There's a nice photography wall, a cool moss mural, and lots of little things to look at and take pictures of.
And lastly, the customer service has always been excellent. I love to come and grab my favorite: Avo and egg toast with pesto drizzle and everything bagel seasoning, paired with whatever smoothie I'm feeling!
During our recent day trip, we enjoyed lunch at the Thirsty Moose before heading home.
This restaurant has an impressive selection of beer, cider, hard seltzer, a full bar, and non-alcoholic drinks. Their expansive bar is backed by a continuous wall of TVs and more dot the walls of the dining areas. The open restaurant has plenty of seating, especially along the bar.
Their menu has all the classic pub food, some with an inventive twist and clever names. They have a gluten-free menu available but not a dedicated fryer. I really enjoyed my cauliflower crust Greek pizza, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Bullwinkle burger and was able to upgrade it to two patties. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was perfect.
This is an excellent location to stop by for a meal for solo guests, couples, families, or groups. We'd definitely come back to Thristy Moose the next time we're in the area.
Food is delicious, seating indoors has a cool vibe, & the OUTDOOR DOG-FRIENDLY PATIO is the BEST. Staff is welcoming and friendly and very knowledgeable about allergies. Gluten free and dairy free crust and cheese is available! Take your furry friends and run, don't walk, to Dough ASAP!
Hearth boasts an impressive exterior and gorgeous interior. It is warm and opulent, with cafeteria style dining. Given few gluten free options, I ordered in the cafe/ bakery section: a turkey BLAT sandwich on gluten free bread; it came with house made pickle slices and chips. It was not clear if the fryer was dedicated for chips or gluten free foods. I waited about 15 minutes for my sandwich before seeing it sitting on the counter in front of the cashier; he had not called my name. The sandwich was tasty, but $15 felt steep. I noticed bus bins full of dirty dishes and overflowing trash. I really wanted to enjoy my lunch at Hearth, but for me, it wasn't worth the visit.
I’ve only ever gotten takeout here but the food is always good. I LOVE that they have a gluten free crust that isn’t the crunchy thin kind. And their salads and dressings are always fresh and yummy!
Salud is an absolute gem in Portsmouth. I work downtown and I love having access to not only a phenomenal salad spot but just such wonderful employees. Michelle is so kind and goes above and beyond every time. Sometimes I just pop my head in to say hi!
Also, for Celiacs, this is the spot. Michelle will actually look up each ingredient and sauce on her computer to share an ingredient list with you so you know what you can and can’t eat. My mom is a very very sensitive celiac and she feels confident eating at salud (loves the Buffalo Chicken Bowl!)
Best take out pizza I have had in a while. I am Gluten sensitive, and am often disappointed with soggy gf crusts.The GF crust at Jitto's was delicious, nice and crispy and topping yummy. My husband had a regular crust pizza and was just as happy.
Had an opportunity to eat at Behind the Plate last night. What a great dining experience. We started with the fried cauliflower bites appetizer. Perfectly cooked with a very tasty horseradish black pepper sauce. They were prepared with a tempura instead of heavy breading - delicious and gluten free. I opted for The Pesky smash burger - a double smashed beef burger with thick cut slab bacon, lobster spread, buttered corn, lobster meat and greens on grilled potato bread. I didn’t want it to end. As good as the burger was, the star of the show were the potatoes. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. No ketchup needed! Excellent service and John, the owner, stopped by the table a couple of times to chat about our meals and how he conceptualized the menu. I look forward to working my way through the rest of the menu.
I have only ordered delivery so far but they have the absolute best gluten free bagel breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Literally feels like chewy bread. 10/10
Amazing roast beef sandwich! And they have a huge gluten free bun! I just have a wheat allergy so I'm not sure about cross contamination but it was a nice surprise.
Celiac friendly
