I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.
I love this place! Exceptional gluten free pizza. I love that the gluten free pizza isn’t too small. It’s a good size to share or greedily eat yourself as well. I love that I can have any pizza on the menu and make it gluten free. The industrial design with a touch of elegance is a great addition to the ambiance. Waiters are professional and provide good service
Extremely celiacs concious and attentive! There weren't any on menu soups that were gf vegetarian/pescatarian options, so the kitchen staff and manager David personalized a great soup I could eat. I think anyone with celiacs will feel very safe eating here, and especially reccomend for gluten free people that eat meat!

The have a gluten free Injera option. I think it is called “black” when served gluten-free. Based on the servers explanation, this seems to be the preferred method as it tears easier.
I have never had Ethiopian food. I was really really impressed with the flavors. This restaurant has set the bar high. I would definitely come again if I am in the area!
Came in today for a quick meal before heading to the airport. They have a gluten free pizza dough. Wanted to mention to the guys that the buffalo chicken pizza sauce was delicious! And we appreciated the quick and friendly service. We were in and out within 25 minutes.
We stopped in here during our visits in New haven.
This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.
When I say it was incredible. I mean incredible. The service couldn’t have been any better. If I could give it a 6/5 I would do it without hesitation. They are careful with gluten allergy’s and take it very seriously. They make me not want to go back to my hometown for pizza. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!
Nextdoor is the best! We love to go there anytime we go out to eat. They have a great menu for everyone; dairy-free, gluten-free options and NACHOS!!! Awesome staff, service and great environment; the ideal place to catch up with friends and family. Doug, the owner, is a wonderful guy; they hosted my 40th birthday party in the back room and everyone had an awesome time. We had pizza and wings all night and hung out at this great restaurant.
Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time
Had a great meal at Marco Polo Pizzeria in New Haven! The gluten-free pizza was honestly one of the best I’ve had crispy, flavorful, and really satisfying. Also tried a gluten-free wrap and it was just as tasty. Super friendly staff and cozy vibe. I’ll definitely be back!
I have multiple food allergies and intolerances, including milk and gluten, and this place is a dream come true for me. I had one scoop vanilla and one scoop pistachio-almond in a bowl, with a gluten-free dark matter cone. My partner had the coquito flavored one, which tasted just like real coquito. The vanilla was everything a vanilla icecream should be and more. It was seriously the most perfectly balanced vanilla icecream. The pistachio-almond had a delightful sweet toasted almond flavor, with the pistachio being more subtle, that reminded me of pignoli cookies. There were a liberal amount of almonds in the icecream. The cone itself was fantastic. Nobody would know it was gluten-free without notification.
The 45-minute commute was well worth the effort, and we definitely plan to return.
This review is for the street level fast food restaurant storefront specializing in chicken nuggets. The gluten friendly chicken nuggets were excellent--little chunks of real chicken (not processed) cooked to a juicy light golden brown. The french fries were good. The little bags that the chicken and fries came in was foil lined, so I imagine that would be great for keeping take out orders warm on a chilly night. The staff who took my order at the counter were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere rating is a 3 because the tables were dirty and the seating area needed tidying up.
Food was wonderful! Great flavors, many gluten free options, service excellent- attentive and warm and friendly. Waiter Lucas was terrific! Would have liked music to be a little lower, a bit loud for conversation.
Our entire family was so blessed by this pizza place during our visit in New Haven! Their pizza is delicious with great gluten-free options, and the service is very friendly and generous! We enjoyed the clean, outdoor seating (although they do have indoor as well), and it was good to see they deliver. Highly recommend! May the Lord bless you!
Such a fun and delicious spot right in downtown New Haven! I stopped by T-Swirl for the first time and was super impressed. The crepes are made with a rice flour batter, so they’re naturally gluten-free and come out thin, crispy, and beautifully wrapped like a cone—perfect for eating on the go or dining in.
I ordered the Strawberry Nutella and the Crème Brûlée with Banana—both were amazing! The strawberry Nutella was packed with fresh fruit and the perfect amount of sweetness. The crème brûlée crepe had a creamy custard with that classic caramelized sugar top, and the banana just made it even better. Total dessert heaven!
Ordering was really easy with their touchscreen kiosks, and even though it got busy, the service was fast and friendly. The inside is clean, modern, and cozy, though it’s more of a casual grab-and-go vibe than a full sit-down meal experience.
Definitely coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different, fresh, and fun!
Rawa is a gem in Westville, New Haven neighborhood. The staff is always so kind and they have a great rotating selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their dishes (which have many options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian) have so much flavor and quality olive oil with the right amount of subtle spices. Our favorites are the baba ghanouj, the tabbouleh, and any of the biryani dishes. If you save room for dessert, the baklava is absolutely to die for.
There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!
The people here are very good about knowing what's gluten friendly on their menu and what isn't. The only thing they will guarantee as gluten free is the burger without bun. However, I've eaten the shakes and fries many times and only gotten ill once, so you may do ok if you're only gluten intolerant rather than celiac.
*update* They now have a gluten free bun, but I wouldn't bother with it. It costs more and quickly disintegrates into mush due to how greasy the burger patties are.
Just ate the gluten free The Stack which is grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, red tomato, spring salad mix and pesto-mayo dressing, and 5 stars all the way = delicious. Ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture! The only downside is that you need a fork to eat it as the bread crumbles… but for the taste and freshness of the ingredients = such a small price to pay for greatness.
Excellent, inventive food and service that goes the extra mile with a pleasant modern ambience. Although the menu doesn’t specify, they offer a number of delicious gluten free choices— including desserts--and will make accommodations, such as providing gf crackers instead of bread. A lovely experience.
Beautiful establishment, attentive staff. Flavors of the meals are out of this world. I had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Will absolutely be back soon! Gluten free options. Greatly gifted chef. Drinks were SO tasty too! I got the tuna, got it as the chef recommended. My friend ordered the salmon. Was so good! Almond cake, get it if you can!
Enjoyed lunch here with my husband yesterday Brazis decorate so nicely for Christmas. The meatballs were absolutely amazing!!! And their pizza was on point I can't remember having a better cheese pizza with grilled chicken in my life this place never disappoints. 1st time ever having pizza here I've always enjoyed there pasta selections. I was also impressed to see they offer whole wheat and gluten free 🍕 awesome!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

All the burgers can be made on a gluten free bun, which is very good quality. There is no dedicated gluten free frier, but I haven't had an issue eating the fries (I have gluten intolerance though, not celiac). There is also flourless chocolate cake!
My favorite meal here is The Smoker burger on a gluten free bun with fries and a pineapple express.
I ordered the gluten free chicken tostado on uber eats. Nowhere in the description does it say there is cheese on this item. There is grated cheese all over the entire dish. I’m allergic to dairy and now can’t eat the meal I paid $25 for.
Here’s a polished version of your Google review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a wonderful experience! From tasting the delicious food to immersing ourselves in the culture, everything was amazing. The owners and their family took great care of us, even with our large group!
We tried several dishes from the menu, each one flavorful and authentic. A highlight of the visit was witnessing a beautiful coffee ceremony—such a special touch!
I also appreciate that the restaurant offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making it accessible for everyone. Highly recommend this place for an incredible dining experience!
Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!
I ordered the chicken and berria tacos told them I had a gluten allergy and went over everything I couldn’t have including cross-contamination. The tacos were really good and I didn’t get sick so overall really good experience!!
The servers are generally very helpful in negotiating food allergies. There are at least 1-2 gluten free options each for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All the food I've tried here has been divine!
My favorite meal here is stuffed grape leaves to start, vegetable moussaka, and baked milk custard for dessert!
We love the vegan/vegetarian deli
inside this large and well-stocked health-food store. Turn left upon entering the store and find the deli with seating in a small alcove just past the cash registers. The hot-foods bar lists common allergens and sensitivity-causing ingredients, and there is a generous area of baked goods -- gluten-free and vegan too. This is a great place to enjoy a quick yet healthful meal at a reasonable price! Check their hours to avoid disappointment.
I went in without having looked them up before, and informed the server behind the counter about my celiac and if they had gluten free options. They did have gluten free options, almost all the icecream they were serving that day were gf, she said she could serve me safely. I wanted to know their cross-contact protocol and she got really rude/angry at me, almost yelling that she knew how to serve me as they have good allergen protocols and also serve people with severe nut allergy. So I kind of felt bullied into ordering without knowing what she was going to do, but decide to go for it as I could always give it away.
They do have a good allergen protocol. Switched gloves, grabbed a new clean scoop, new container with ice cream that had not yet been touched. Also scoops were hugeeeeeee. I felt assured it was safe for me to eat and I didn’t feel sick. Chocolate flavor was yummy. Just too bad that they got so rude while I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get sick.
5 star all around! Massaman chicken and the Saigon rolls, WOW, compliments to the chef!!
I love that most items are gluten free.
The flavor profile is out of this world and an explosion of flavor.
The atmosphere is moody and romantic.
Food came out in the blink of an eye and waitress let us enjoy our meals in peace (rare for the US).
We WILL be back. My new favorite spot!
A celiac’s dream diner! While there is no gluten-free bread option, most (if not all) food is prepared on its own grill/pan so there is no cross contact of gluten containing items! Eggs=safe, home fries=safe, bacon=safe. The pic is of the grapefruit brûlée; I’d go back just for this dish. So simple but tastes complex. So tasty. All the food was excellent! I sat at the counter and chatted with most of the staff who were friendly and efficient. Great all around diner!
Lunch before dropping family member at train. Beautiful views. Food is excellent. Accommodated gluten free requests easily.
Update: Visited again on 10/16/23. Some changes on the menu that were outstanding. Wish this place was closer. Our waiter was particularly great!
