Top 7 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Enjoy in Needham

Yeah I asked For A Chicken Cesar Salad and when I got my order in they gave me a Tuna Salad with cranberry’s I dislike cranberry’s and my cousin got pissed at the server because she saw that they do indeed have Cesar salads and I specifically asked for one with chicken on top and yes the other people working or not working were yelling laughing and speaking other languages that I could not understand and the lady who took my order said we don’t have Cesar salads and that’s when things get hard and she finally took my order and I also ordered a grilled cheese that was pretty good the cheese was rich and gooey which I like! I did tell the server to not waste food and eat the incorrect order but she threw it away! My cousin is gluten free so that’s the only reason why she liked the place! I wasn’t expecting it to be like a mini supermarket! The atmosphere is nice I do have to say! When the Salad Finally came it was good! My cousin tried a piece of chicken and she said it tasted Great! I found capers in my salad I’m not a Fan of them

My husband and I have been to the Sweet Basil in Waltham on numerous occasions which is why I'm able to recommend all of the food that is posted. We went for the first time to the Sweet Basil in Needham and we were equally as plesed. For starters, we had the Pesto with Fresh Bread, and the Garden Vegtable Risotto. . For our entrees, I had Salmon on Cold Orzo Salad with Asparagus and my husband chose the Gluten Free Shrimp Sscampi. This dishes are the creation and expertise of Dave,the owner, and the adjective AMAZING sums up the excellence of every dish and beverage served there. I highly recommend this restaurant. In fact, I'm taking the book ,"Sweet Basil," written by the owner. Dave Becker, shares all of these delicious and savory recipes on my vacation where I'll be cooking for my on family. Cheers and thanks to Sweet Basil., because you have added joy and comfort to our lives with such fresh, remarkable food. SALUD

This was my first time to Capella's and I loved the atmosphere! What a cute spot and the decor was perfect. We started off with the Meatballs, Burrata and Brussel Sprouts & Aged Parmesan with Balsamic. Both were delicious but the Burrata & Brussels dish was my favorite starter. I wish I could have tried the Arancini but the menu was different than what I had viewed online. For my entree I ordered the Rigatoni Vodka with Ricotta Gnocchi instead and it was delicious! I loved the additional of the peas and onions but the sauce had an amazing spice to it! My coworker got the Truffle Cheese Wheel Pasta and it was delicious! Very rich bit definitely a must try! For dessert we had the Canollis (3 to and order) which were non-traditional. I enjoyed the shell more than the citrus cream filling. The menu was wonderful with tons of variety. Next time I will be trying the salmon! The service was awesome but sporadic once they got busy. The runners/bussers ended up servicing our check and retrieve it once payment was in place. Loved the teamwork and the overall experience was great! The gluten free pasta options were incredible also!!

Their gluten free pancakes are the best one's I've ever had. Their staff is friendly and I always love the food.
