I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!
Amazing food and gluten free options. Highly recommended if you are visiting St. Augustine. Staff was extremely friendly and made it a pleasure to visit. Definitely save room for the ice cream.
Awesome place. Cool local art on the walls.
Gluten-free pizza. Wings were just decent. Was surprised how good they were despite having thin sauce just poured on top for some reason. Felt great after. Just great place.
The arepas with chicken, the beef taco and the brisket tacos were so good I’m looking at local realty so I can live here now. We will definitely be back! The flavors of everything were amazing and everything on the menu except the burritos can be made gluten free. Heaven!
Amazing food and wonderful people! My daughter is gluten-free, and their GF waffles were amazing. Most of their menu can be made GF, as well. Highly recommend!
Pizzalley’s Chianti Room is situated in a prime location in St. Augustine, and the atmosphere is inviting and pleasant. However, our dining experience was marred by several issues that left us feeling frustrated.
Service Issues:
Upon arrival at 2:55 PM, a time when the restaurant was not particularly busy, we expected a timely greeting and service. Unfortunately, it took an unacceptably long time for our waiter to approach us and take our initial orders. This delay was surprising given the number of open tables around us. As our wait continued, we found ourselves having to remind the waiter about our requests multiple times, which only added to our dissatisfaction.
Children’s Experience:
One of the most disappointing aspects of our visit was how our children were treated. While other families at nearby tables received coloring pages and crayons to keep their kids entertained, ours did not. After noticing this discrepancy, we asked for coloring materials but ended up waiting for quite some time without any response. Eventually, one of our group members took the initiative to retrieve the coloring pages and crayons herself, which should not have been necessary. This lack of attention to families with children made the experience feel less welcoming.
Plant-based Menu and Pricing Concerns
As a vegan family, we were initially pleased to see that the menu offered customizable options. We ordered a vegan pizza, and while our waiter suggested a vegetarian pizza without cheese, we were able to request different vegetables to suit our preferences. However, we were taken aback when we received the bill: $27 for a 10” gluten-free pizza that contained only tomato sauce, a sprinkle of broccoli, mushrooms, pineapple, and a few pieces of eggplant.
In stark contrast, friends dining with us paid the same price for a 16” pizza loaded with an impressive array of toppings—pepperoni, sausage, cheese, vegetables, and specialty ingredients (they ordered half Garbage Can half Pig’n’Fig pie). It felt as though we were being penalized for choosing healthier options. Charging extra for a simple vegan pizza with minimal ingredients is not only unreasonable but also discouraging for those seeking plant-based meals.
Conclusion:
While Pizzalley’s Chianti Room boasts an attractive location and a pleasant atmosphere, the combination of poor service, inadequate attention to children’s needs, and exorbitant pricing for simple vegan options left us feeling dissatisfied. This experience does not align with what one would hope for in a family-friendly restaurant. We cannot recommend this establishment based on our visit.
So good! I was so happy to have gluten free chicken and waffles. The sweet and savory worked well together. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Found my new favorite place in St. Augustine.
Excellent choice for gluten free diets. They make everything to order so along with the listed GF items accommodation can be made too. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list was excellent. Highly recommend.
I went with family because they have a gluten-sensitive menu. Horrible experience. I think it was mostly the waitresses' fault. I got pork belly tacos off of the gluten sensitive menu. I asked her to please put in a note for the kitchen that I have wheat and dairy allergies and it went downhill from there. She said they weren't wheat tortillas they were flour. I said I needed corn. I was brought flour tortillas and she said she forgot to put them in right. I asked for a pineapple mimosa but they brought out a glass with less than a cup of liquid that had no pineapple. Etc. Management comped my food. I will not be back. Please think twice before coming if you have allergies too.
Stumbled onto this place and glad we did! Everything was fantastic, great food, great service, great atmosphere! I had the Signature burger and it was perfectly cooked and very tasty. My wife had the chioped chicken salad and loved it, and my SIL had the berry gorgonzola salad and said it was the best salad she ever had. PLUS she is celiac and they take it very seriously, different part of the kitchen, different implements (tongs, spatula, etc), and a manager has to deliver allergy related dishes to prevent cross contamination from the servers.
Top notch, excellent experience all the way around, and we can't wait to bring the rest of the crew back before we leave town after our vacation.
It's probably not fair. I haven't been to CAPs in decades, but it's definitely not the same. I had fried shrimp and hush puppies last week. They were too greasy. It was as if the oil wasn't hot enough and soaked into the food, not hot enough to quickly fry it. My friends had jambalaya. While others may like it, if you are from Louisiana, you might want to skip this dish. For an appetizer, I ordered a smoked fish dip, which was good, but the menu said it was gluten-free. It came with something similar to toasted pita points. When we asked, we were told they were not gluten-free. They were out of gluten-free crackers and offered romaine lettuce. We needed gluten-free, not carb-free.
Visiting here from Boston. I enjoyed the Carrot “Lox” bagel (gluten free available). It was one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever had. They have so many healthy and yummy options here as well as to go option. The staff was also so nice
Recommend by a local downtown, Sarbez! was a pleasant surprise! Service was wonderful, bartenders were friendly and there were lots of options for beer and wines. The grilled cheese menu was extensive, they had Gluten Free options which was a huge plus. There are plenty of video games and things to do, to keep the whole group entertained all night. We liked this place so much we went 2x during our week of vacation. Highly recommend!
Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine!
The Cuban sandwich was amazing, the bread was so flavorful and crispy. The cheesecake and sangria were perfect! To top it all off all of this was gluten free. We will be back, thank you!!
This was a great spot within walking distance of our hotel. It was so good we went twice in one day! We went for brunch and came back for dinner. As someone who needs to eat gluten free, I was impressed with their options and how good everything tasted! Their gluten free pizza was delicious! Our server was also so kind and served us both times that day!
Amazing place and vibe. Everything we order was 10000/10 we got the avocado toast is a must, the chocolate muffin, the breakfast tacos and cappuccino. We went on a Sunday and they had live music which made our visit even more enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to have more gluten friendly options like maybe being able to have the avocado toast on gf bread. If you are in the St Augustine area you gotta check it out.
We stopped in twice for a quick appetizer and drinks and it was amazing! The guacamole and oysters were DELICIOUS!!! Their hibiscus margarita is was so flavorful! And both times the service was 5 stars our servers were funny, accommodating to my dietary needs and allergies and attentive! No wait time. Pricing was reasonable and worth what we ordered!!
Highly recommend.
Gluten free options! For those of you like me with gluten, dairy and soy allergies!
Our waitress Holly was awesome! It's so rare these days to witness restaurant staff that's truly happy to be at work, it was refreshing! Also, we are Gluten Free and they offer GF bread if needed and had a decent amount of GF options. All the food was tasty. The flavored latte's had a little bit of a chemical taste.
I got the burrito bowl, with tofu and Baja sauce bc I need gluten free and vegan, it was a little sweet a little spicy I have to say I was quite impressed. I had to take my food to pizza place to eat so hubby and I could eat together, guy was really nice, girl was a little short when I asked a question she pointed and said read the menu.. so? not everyone understands what Baja sauce is, and I am strict on gluten and vegan for a reason I wasn't being rude I was being careful because I get sick.
Kaliburger is a great place to go if you’re looking for excellent food. The gluten-free and vegan options are plentiful and delicious! Highly recommend!
I had dinner and a glass of wine; not a guest of the inn. I felt a warm welcome when arriving. It is such a charming place! The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity and I enjoyed GF crab cakes! What a treat! I look forward to returning.

Thanks for making the small adjustments to make the appetizers and meal gluten free. Service was great and our waitress let me try 2 wines before ordering one. I had the lamb, mashed potatoes and veggies which was delicious. I can't remember what the appetizer was called, but it was cheese, jam, nuts and focaccia bread. Absolutely amazing!
Nice Sonnys and great food! Our waitress Kersten was very helpful and provided wonderful customer service. She was very helpful in answering my questions for my gluten allergies. Thank Kersten.! Keep up the good work!
I have celiac disease and our server Jacob guided me to the best steak and stuffed chicken. I struggle to find safe places to eat and my taste buds are high diving themselves ty Jacob your the best
Everything and everything one was great! I’m gluten and dairy free and Murph, Lindsey, and Greg made sure everything was safe me. Their online menu clearly marks these intend too. The rest of our crew loved all their food too. Thank You 😊
What a great pizza place! I visited with my mom and we loved the options to build our own pizza. They even offered vegan cheese when I asked for cheese-less pizza and a gluten free dough for my mom. So many great topping options and did I mention? Excellent customer service. I highly recommend Your Pie and look forward to returning!
We stumbled upon this gem of a diner and couldn’t be more pleased. The AC felt wonderful against the hot air outside, and the servers were immediately attentive. The decor was charming, and seats were plentiful. The menu was vast and provided quite a few options for the gluten-free and dairy-free dietary restrictions of my friend. In fact, she said they had more options than she’s seen in a long time at a restaurant.
The food arrived quickly and was even better than expected. Portion sizes were huge and the cost wasn’t bad at all.
Between great service, cool AC, and fantastic food, I’d definitely go back. In fact, in this girl’s opinion, this gem beat out our lunch in the historic district at a well-known eatery.
Really adorable place. Good coffee, my mom and husband's food was good. I really appreciated their integrity in letting me know they couldn't guarantee no cross contact so I didn't get food, but I'd MUCH rather that than eat and get sick (I have celiac disease)! Wish more places would be like that instead of letting me suffer for days.
Wow! This restaurant is top notch in every category! The food - goes without saying - in the spectacular category. The ambiance and mood… so cool… but the staff - trying to accommodate a gluten free girl (at a ramen noodle house no less) - was beyond exceptional. And- by the way, they customize every order to the way YOU want it. Amazing food- amazing night.

No gluten free menu. Nothing marked as gluten free as previously stated in other reviews. Waitress was unknowledgeable about gf options other than fries. Very limited options. Ended up drinking my dinner lol! #titos
Our first time here for our anniversary, and had the best experience anyone could ask for. From quality of service to small details of changing the silver ware before each course. THE FOOD IS EVERYTHING, DELICIOUS, ARTISTIC, INTERACTIVE.We will be back again. Reservations only. Also my husband has celiac and they have plenty of gluten free options and will adjust the plate as needed for the person.
I don’t usually write reviews but this place was really cute with a good vibe. The staff were helpful and personable. A server named Gabbie helped us and had a great chat and walked us through everything even tho she was clearly busy. The food was amazing and I loved the five and dime. It’s a must try! The only thing I can critique is there is not many gluten free options.
We are regulars at this wonderful family owned business. The food is delicious and the people are wonderful. This is probably one of our favorite places to eat in St Augustine. The food is always so fresh and consistently delicious.
It's a little South on US1 so you won't be fighting traffic and there is ample parking. My new favorite are the Fajitas but I usually get the Carne Asada...my son is a fan of their Chicken Burrito and generally can't leave without dessert!! (Best Tres Leches cake!!) I have a gluten allergy and they are understanding and accommodating! If you have never been to this great restaurant - make sure to stop in for some authentic Mexican food, served with a smile!!
My husband and I tried out your place earlier today, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were the only ones in there but regardless, the service was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We tried saag chicken, chicken vindaloo, lentil chips, a spicy paneer and a carrot dessert that was insanely delicious. The chef brought the food to the table and it was a masterpiece. The wait staff was knowledgeable about gluten allergy too! We will definitely be back
I recently tried St. Augie's gluten-free 10-inch pizza, and I was blown away by the taste and quality! The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend St. Augie's to anyone looking for amazing pizza, whether gluten-free or not. Five stars all the way....
Celiac friendly
