Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free and the food came out with an allergy sticker on it! Plus, a dedicated fryer- the truffle fries were AMAZING! No reaction :)

Amazing healthy food and priced well. Great option for my fellow celiac family. Dedicated gluten free facility.

Zizzi's Genetics

I really enjoy their gluten free pizzas. They even get them custom made in an oblong shape to match their regular pizzas. The manager Steve recommended it to me some time ago because I was being very particular about eating too much bread & wheat! 😩👌🍕

Nancy Booth

Lots of variety in gluten- and dairy-free options. I'm loving the nut cheese spreads and the fresh salad selection is much better vs regular grocery store.

Amy Poremba

Bryan, Jose, and Noah were all great this evening! Love that I can eat here with Celiac Disease as well.

Have enjoyed the doro wot and yebeg wot dishes with injera, and for dessert the gluten-free cake with ice cream. Friendly service, delicious food.

First time here and the Breakfast All Day Burger was amazing, plus they have gluten free buns which are absolutely amazing. All the staff is friendly and helpful and Camilla was great at checking in on us after we started eating. Highly recommend coming here!

Stopped here for the first time last week and boy was I blown away! It’s easily become a favorite place. I got the Thunderbird with Cheesy Yuca bread (gluten free) and I inhaled it in minutes! All of the flavors and textures worked together and it was absolutely delicious! It was also so filling, in a way that breakfast sandwiches are often not. I also appreciated that it was just your typical BEC either. My oat milk Mocha was also delightful, which was especially satisfying as it was decaf. All in all, I can’t wait to return!

Second visit to Jinya and it was a runaway success. We gathered the family for my birthday only to find that the menu had *nothing* my sister could eat with her combination of allergies / sensitivities. Not to be deterred, our server Kyle conspired with the chefs to figure out some gluten free combos that might work for her. Fully prepared to "enjoy the smells", Kyle and co ended up delivering a plate of gluten-free noodles with butter and garlic for my sister to enjoy with the rest of us. The rest of the table had Jinya Black Tonkotsu ramen and the Jinya original, as well as some Chashu and gyoza. Their broth is really top-notch. Taste is a subjective thing, but this is one of the best ramen broths *I* have tasted. It borders juuuuust slightly on being salty, but not at all off-putting. Excellent beer & wine selection and ambience. Service has been exceptional both times. We'll all be back, and would recommend you do the same!

Best store in the hood! Great 2h-free parking outside and in the garage with an escalator in. Amazon service drop off. Big choice of food - can find here anything for healthy life. Bakery, whole grains, gluten-free, fruit and veggies, condiments, lactose-free, sugar-free, nuts. Flowers, accessories. My favorite part is recycling bins - I would only add lithium batteries recycle bin just like in Organic MOM in Rockville has.

Misti Meyers

So glad I ventured out to try this place. I had the best gluten free ice cream sandwich! The ambience was fun. The staff were super nice and helpful. Thank you for the sweet treat!

Katherine Yelisetti

Delicious, especially the vegan shakes! Also great gluten free options. I have a dairy allergy and I went with someone who has celiac disease, and we both got excellent burgers and fries. And yes, it's inside the whole foods. Go through the front door and head to the left all the way to the corner.

Bistro has modern atmosphere with reasonable prices and special price offers. I had great flatbread with lobster & shrimp and chicken dumpling soup. My partner’s soup was not as warm as it could have been, and there were only three gluten-free options available on the menu. Nice music in the background and indoor bocce courts. Bowling lanes and several rentable conference rooms upstairs for various occasions.

Donna Shimshi

Always consistent, great quality and flavorful food. Family member with celiac has safely eaten here, and we trust their careful attention to allergy issues.

Came here this evening to celebrate my mom's 93rd birthday. It is unfortunate that they kept the Amalfi in their name. It sullies the Amalfi's name. Keeping Chef in the name should have been a warning to me just like Chef Boyardee. Another bad omen was when an adjacent table send their food back because it didn't taste right. My wife ordered linguine with clam sauce and we specifically asked for gluten free pasta. Our waiter said that would be no problem. The dish brought out did not have any pasta with it. In the bottom of the bowl was a liquid that looked like dirty water, sliced onions and cold. I had to get up and find our waiter to ask about the gluten free linguine and he said that it was his fault for not letting us know that the only gluten free pasta they had was penne. There is no way an order of pasta can be brought out in one minute. My wife did not even touch it because the likelihood is that it was regular penne pasta. I ordered the spicy shrimp fettucine and 4 pieces of shrimp, served cold and with a sweet marinara sauce. No spice to it at all. As for service, lets call it no service. We asked for additional bread to be brought out, none delivered. Waitstaff did no come around to see how dinner was. Our party of six decided to try two desserts, cannoli and tiramisu. Two bites of the tiramisu were tried and the balance was left of the plate and the cannoli was just as bad. Over priced, cold, flavorless food, such a disappointment. You had to be hoping that keeping Amalfi's in the name would bring back the legions of diners that kept coming back over the years. Diners beware, this is not Amalfi's in any way. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

Excellent service and attention to detail. Thoroughly knowledgeable staff & kitchen could accommodate gluten free needs. The food was outstanding.

Daniela

The cauliflower plate is amazing! Very flavorful and it tastes super fresh. I’m so glad I’ve found another place where I can eat. My eating options are limited since I’m both gluten free and vegan. This place has plenty of options for people like me. This makes me very happy 😃

Kusshi came through with an incredible offer to treat our teachers and staff to lunch during Teacher Appreciation Week at our elementary school. They provided generous bento boxes that accommodated vegetarian, vegan and gluten free requests. The food was sooooo delicious and everyone raved! The event was a huge success thanks to the kindness and generosity of Wesley Yao and staff! Fox Chapel Elementary School appreciates you all!
