Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Cleveland

This restaurant is fantastic. There are endless options for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and keto diets. We were visiting Ohio for a short period and came for dinner and ended up returning a different day for brunch. The lattes here are made perfect. Highly recommend the chicken wings and quesabirra tacos. If we ever make it back to Cleveland we will definitely be coming back here. The ambiance is awesome. Our server, Serena, was knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming; she made our visit perfect.

It was my first time visiting this restaurant and the experience was very good. I was lucky that the waitress spoke Spanish. If you don't eat gluten it's a good place to come because the sauces are gluten-free and they have gluten-free bread. I hadn't had a sandwich in a restaurant for years. The food was exquisite. I tried the Big Pig Sandwich and the fries. When I return to Cleveland I definitely have to go back.

I came here for the first time last month and have been back two more times. I don't know why it took me so long to come try it (well maybe because parking in Little Italy leaves a lot to be desired). All the food I've had here has been very good, especially the homemade pasta. The noodles were thick and delicious and the sauce had the perfect flavor. I've also had lasagna and the regular crust pizza which were also very good. The portions aren't crazy out of control. I normally avoid gluten because it makes me blow up like a balloon and will only eat it if it's really worth it. Here, it is really worth it. I haven't tried the gluten free crust yet but plan to, I'm glad they have that option it makes me like them even better.

Went here for breakfast both days we were in Cleveland. Great little breakfast/brunch spot. The staff both days were top notch and the food was great! Plenty of gluten-free options and they even have dedicated equipment so there is no cross contamination between their regular meals and gluten-free meals.

Darryl was the best waiter I have had in a long time. We had a group of 17 people and he treated us all kindly and in a timely manner. One person was gluten free and another had food allergies and he was patient and took the time to get their order right. This server deserved recognition and made me want to come back and request just him.

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Amazing. We moved to Cleveland 4 years ago and have had a hard time finding good food. This restaurant had tons of options for food & drinks, they made it so easy to find gluten free options I could eat, the drinks were strong, my water glass was never less than half full, they went over the wine list with my mother in law and found her something she loved, the staff was professional & personable, and it was so REASONABLY priced. I was actually shocked when our bill came because I thought it was going to cost twice as much as it did. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks and can’t wait to return.

We were in Cleveland for a quick trip and needed a good restaurant for gluten-free food. I googled restaurants on our path, and this restaurant was suggested. We arrived about 1pm and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Bianka, immediately came to take care of us. She very thoroughly went over gluten-free options and even checked with the kitchen to make sure what we wanted was gluten-free. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but when we got it, we understood. This was hands down the best lunch we have ever had. My mom had the burger and fries. She said they were the best fries she had ever had. I had the lamb stew, and I was in food heaven. Overall, this was an amazing experience. We lived the atmosphere, our server, and the food. We will be back.

An Absolutely Incredible Dining Experience – Safe for Celiacs and Full of Flavor We had an absolutely incredible experience here! Yes, it ended up being a bit of a splurge, but every bite was worth it. As someone with Celiac disease, I was especially impressed - they offer a dedicated gluten-free menu, and the staff was clearly knowledgeable and attentive about cross-contamination precautions. I felt completely safe the entire time and had zero symptoms afterward, which speaks volumes. To start, I had an Espresso Martini - perfectly balanced, smooth, and rich. It’s hard to find a good one, but this hit all the right notes. We shared a shrimp appetizer featuring large, lightly seasoned shrimp that were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our main, my mom and I split the special of the day: Red Snapper with a lemon butter sauce and a touch of crab meat on top. The fish was unbelievably tender and melt-in-your-mouth good, paired with vegetables that were perfectly cooked and flavored. We added a side of their pea risotto - creamy with an unexpected but delightful flavor profile. I took half home and had it for lunch the next day; it was just as good reheated. We ended the meal with a chocolate mousse topped with fresh berries - light, rich, and absolutely divine. We left feeling happy, full, and I highly recommend!

Ramin is the most amazing waiter and was so considerate about the gluten intolerances at our table. Amazing food and service!!

In from out of town (Detroit) and the ambiance was a perfect combination of relaxed, classy and energetic. The food was delicious and offered tasty Gluten-free pasta options! Kayla, our server, was very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome! To top it off, the music and DJ was great! Will definitely come back! Bonus…Woman Owned Business!

After encountering an initial disappointment at Burgerim due to receiving gluten buns instead of the gluten-free lettuce wraps I ordered, I was pleasantly surprised by the owner's response. Mario promptly addressed my concerns with sincerity, offering a full refund and a gift card as a gesture of goodwill. His commitment to improving service and ensuring a better experience on my next visit is commendable. While my first visit was disappointing, I appreciate Mario's efforts to rectify the situation. Therefore, I am updating my rating to 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you, Mario, for your attention to customer satisfaction.

A Flavorful Finale to a Beautiful Weekend – Agave & Rye, Cleveland, OH After an unforgettable weekend at the Lithuanian Song Festival in Cleveland, our stomachs reminded us it was time to eat—and fast. With a long drive back to New Jersey ahead of us, we needed something quick but satisfying. That’s when we discovered Agave & Rye, a spot that had great reviews and a creative taco menu that caught our attention. Though we wished we had time to sit and soak in the atmosphere of the restaurant, we had to settle for takeout. Still, the experience didn’t disappoint. Since it was our first time, we weren’t quite sure what to get—so we played it safe and went with variety: Taco Flight (3) x4 Chips & Queso Lemonade Buzz Box As I waited, Yavonne, one of the staff members, came over to let me know they were out of lemonade but could offer virgin margaritas instead—made in-house with their own mix. It sounded fun and refreshing, so I said yes. Not only was it a great call, but Yavonne even helped me carry our order to the car, where my wife and kids were waiting. Talk about service! The food? Absolutely out of this world. These were hands-down some of the best tacos we’ve ever had. Bold flavors, creative combos, fresh ingredients—and bonus: they offer gluten-free taco options! The virgin margaritas were a hit with everyone, especially the kids. It turned out to be a highlight of the trip 😄 Yvonne said they make their own margarita mix and it was really good, wishing I could have had a real margarita but it was refreshing especially went well with the tacos. If you’re ever in Cleveland and even remotely hungry, Agave & Rye is a must-visit. Whether you dine in or take out, you're in for something special.

So much thought has gone into every item in this cafe - no seed oils, all organic produce, clean water / reverse osmosis water and a variety of drinks I still need to try (which are also creative). There are not many places that are as organic/clean and free of additives. Finding this place by a simple google was really nice! plant - based milks (cashew and oat) made from scratch (house nut milk made with reverse osmosis water). I tried the following: - Gluten-free bagels that were soft and fluffy and filling (and not starchy like most GF breads) - GF muffins (tried the banana oat and it was delicious, not overly banana or sweet) - Iced matcha with cashew milk and fresh muddled organic blueberries (pictured) I love exploring organic/healthy places that I would not otherwise get to try when traveling for appointments - finding this gem a few minutes away from downtown Cleveland was a nice end to lots of stress and planning. I can't wait to go back and try more items like coffee!

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

I'm writing this a few hours after having eaten here with a friend. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff were phenomenal. We were greeted by the door and asked if we had ever been there before. They let us pick where we wanted to sit and ensured that we had drinks within the first few minutes of walking in the door. Our waiter was also extremely attentive. As soon as I mentioned that I have celiac disease, he informed me about the precautions they take and what on the menu would be safe for me to eat. He also mentioned possible accommodations if there was anything that wasn't explicitly marked Gluten Free on the menu (and a large portion of it was already marked gf!). I immediately knew I would be walking out of here without getting sick. When we ordered an appetizer for the table, they brought corn tortillas as an alternative to fried chips which were excellent. The dip almost put me in tears since it was so delicious! My main course was the blue corn enchiladas. It was scrumptious and the plating was beautiful! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. They knew exactly which dish was mine (gf) and which one was my friends (non-gf). Everyone was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Arguably this was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, even when I didn't have dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would give it 7/5 stars if I could.

Ask about gluten free options. They were able to provide a gluten free meal for my celiac son. He loved it!!

While visiting Cleveland, my group and I picked Heart of Gold randomly after a Google search of restaurants in the area, while looking for places that have vegetarian and gluten free options. The food amount is generous on every single entree we ordered, but the flavor has made it a must visit every time we are in the area. I had the couscous salad but had a concern that one of the ingredients would be too spicy (as I am quite intolerant of heat). The server (Gemma) said it wasn’t spicy but didn’t miss a beat and made it on the side so that I could judge if it was right for me. She was right about the heat, and the balance of acid and sweet was perfect! It also had the best combination of texture with soft, crunchy, and chewy elements. All but one of us (5 people total) had several requests for Gemma and she came through on every one including comping a drink when the one ordered wasn’t able to be made as listed on the menu and a substitute ingredient was used but wasn’t satisfactory. I will definitely ask to eat there again when I’m visiting, and I know others in my group who live in the area will highly recommend Heart of Gold to anyone looking for a great restaurant.

Good selection of German cuisine. Excellent beer selection. Excellent waitstaff. Slightly overpriced for what you get but near to Playhouse Square so not unexpected. Surprising amount of gluten-free items if that is your need or preference.

Came here for our 1 year anniversary & it was awesome! Great staff, incredible food, elegant atmosphere. Everything was 10/10. Our waitress was very nice & helpful. We got free rolls to start, a limoncello spritz, marble room chop salad, fish-n-chips sushi roll, Delmonico steak with asparagus. My wife got the filet mignon 6oz with pommes frites (fries). The hostess were super nice. It’s on the more expensive side but for a special occasion, it’s well worth it. The cotton candy was a nice free gift from our waitress too :) Only downside is they don’t have a lot of gluten free/dairy free options for people with dietary restrictions. But we still had an AMAZING TIME!
