Our family of 5 went and had a great meal. We started with the lobster ravioli appetizer and really enjoyed that! Then we had the carbonara (one with gluten free gnocchi), clams linguine, chicken parm, and chicken Alfredo. They did a great job with the gluten free meal- absolutely would get again. I could have shared- as it was too much! Everyone loved their dishes. We would certainly come back. Favorite meal of our trip. Service was very good. Our server checked on us regularly and food was brought out steaming hot! The place is small and narrow, but quaint, like most in that section of town. We had a nice cozy seat across from the brick pizza oven.

I love this North End staple. They make a small selection of dairy and gluten free items daily - a coffee cake, chocolate chip cookie, and whoopie pie. Like everything else, they are available until they sell out. The coffee cake is my favorite! The cookie is not the best in town, but still good and I appreciate having the option. The whoopie pie is best eaten fresh. I appreciate this long-time establishment having some options for those with food allergies.
Absolutely amazing!
The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!
I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on!
The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.
very busy & we were walk ins so I do recommend making reservations understandably our wait was a little long but were able to go to the bar for cocktails as we waited. but the Manhatten was delicious & food was Fantastic. Highly recommend the Linguine Con Vongole. party was also very happy with the gluten free options / Modifications
Very loud and a tad over priced. Best gluten free pizza crust in the area. Most, if not all the dishes I sampled needed salt, but otherwise delicious and excellent ingredients.
Ask for what’s fresh! I was so
Excited for gluten free donuts doughnuts 🍩 I asked for what I wanted - what I should’ve done is ask for what’s fresh! Or freshest?
2 of the 6 I ordered weren’t fresh anymore. They were a little stale. And the coconut oil - which I was really excited about - had gone a little rancid. Who knew?
Maybe they should toss things out quicker? Or maybe GF don’t have the shelf stability. I will definitely be back - for the blueberry, the plain cake, and the plain + chocolate, but I may never eat coconut donut again. Also, the jelly stuffed was really brittle, dry and crumbly. I did make it in right at closing ~ 2 pm.
This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.
I had heard a lot about Legal Sea Food and had been advised to try it out especially as they pride themselves in gluten free fish fry and have other fried items all dedicated gf .
We started with the house sangrias : one red & one white . Refreshing especially on a hot and humid summer evening .
Ordered the classic fish and chips prepared gluten free (no pictured) and the cod that was salt-vinegar crusted with a bed of bacon slaw , potato wedges and a lightly mustard remoulade. Delicious dish . Fish was perfectly cooked and crispy . The sauce was just right and tied it all together .
Staff was a bit slow but there was a huge amount of people during peak times so they tried to keep up . I could have had more sangrias but it was a little hard to flag staff down . Not a big concern . The food was excellent !
Although I had been told no reservations were needed I was glad I made them in advanced as the place was hoping and can get a little loud .
Very nice experience will be back next time in Boston
Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside
Having visited this establishment on several occasions, I have consistently found the food to be delightful. My nephew and I often encounter challenges in locating dining options that cater to our dietary needs, as he has a gluten allergy and I have a dairy allergy. However, the staff here have always been incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating. The food is consistently served promptly and prepared to perfection. I would certainly recommend this place for a quick and enjoyable meal.

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.
Homemade GF pasta and mozzarella sticks!!! Yes please!! My sister and I both have celiac and our waiter put us at ease right away, letting us know that the gluten-free food was prepared in a separate area. I did have my 10 year old niece with me. She was not as appreciative of the menu. There were not many options for her as a child.
Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!

Some good options! Definitely caters towards allergies. Pancake wasn’t my favorite but everything else was good! Wait time was a lil crazy but great atmosphere! Would def recommend!
Yay for GF options! Overall, a great experience! Rice noodles disintegrated, but I’m used to that in gluten free dishes. Chicken was delicious, peanut sauce was a tasty but a little thick, needed a little more heat, veggies were AMAZING. Kale/bok choy and broccoli was the best. I had high hopes for the GF dumplings, but they managed to be both crunchy and dry on the outside and mushy on the inside. Thai basil lemonade is awesome! Overall, really fun space, great seating upstairs, and we will remember this place next time we are in Boston!
Dedicated to gluten free. The afternoon tea set was just like when I went to London (before I had been diagnosed with celiac). Amazing! Expensive, but so so fun.
Food was delicious and waiters attentive. My mom loved the coffee. They have Gluten Free options including GF bread. Getting a table for two is much quicker (10 minute wait) than it is for a larger party. We went for brunch.
Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!
Ordered ‘shroom burger (amazing), with spicy crinkle cut fries (way too spicy, even for a Korean), and Shake Shack burger with a gluten free bun (the gf bun didn’t fall apart, which is rare!). Lots of seating at this location.
Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.
had both the sushi bites and the poke and both were amazing. loved the restaurant was so friendly for gluten free people. Tried the fire luau bowl and it was delicious, it was a great portion too. the sauce options for the sushi bite were delicious. the passionfruit vinaigrette in particular was amazing but the spicy mayo and pineapple aioli were also great.
Great, quick stop on the Freedom Trail. Good lobster rolls, and they have gluten free rolls as well. Drink selection is nice with a variety of bottled sodas from a company in Maine. They also had water, Coca-Cola, and diet Coca-Cola.
Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city
Candlepin is $30/5 pers/hr
Pizza are $16-$26+tax, salad is the only other option but there is gluten free dough. They natural and organic ingredients and sodas.
Environment is modern and cute.
Parking is pretty bad. 2h free until 8pm, then unlimited. There's a gym in the same block and a fancy parking garage.
If you're looking for flavorful food and healthy options, give this place a try! Delicious! Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available too. You'll need more than one taco to fill you up. Yummy food so worth it!
This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.
Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish.
The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed.
Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.
This place is incredible. As a gluten-free girl, traveling with her dairy-free friend, food can be a challenge.
This place had plenty of options to meet both of our dietary restrictions.
I had this zucchini/corn fritter bowl. It was incredible.
They also offer specialty coffees, salads, acai, all fresh and beautiful. This is a perfect summer spot for a cool meal. The prices were also strikingly reasonable, especially for Boston.
The vibe is also brilliant. The colors are vibrant, and the energy is high. I loved every aspect of Life Alive!
This is our favorite place to order pizza from! Always delicious and the team is SO friendly and considerate. We have dietary restrictions and Union Pizza offers a great dairy and gluten free option. They also go above and beyond to check ingredients, make sure you’re comfortable and make sure you get what you want. Delivery is fresh and hot. Highly recommend!

My husband thought the seared seafood scallops was amazing. I was really looking forward to gluten free dishes I can't have all the time. However, I thought the gluten free mac and cheese was less than desirable. The noodles were not quite done, the cheese was melted in and that was it. No spices or creamieness to the dish. Lobster is always good. I'm sad that I paid $38 for that dish. My son had a good burger with a gf bun.
The flavors are generally pretty complimentary and I am appreciative of the high-quality gluten-free pasta with celiac-friendly preparation.
The atmosphere leaves something to be desired in two aspects:
1: the somewhat arrogant pricing
2: the customer conveyor-belt style service flow - they are trying to fit as many seatings as possible into each evening and do everything they possibly can to get people in & out in under an hour - seems a bit self-defeating when they are selling $65+ bottles of wine
Worth it if you go in expecting to order light, get one drink, and move on. Definitely find somewhere else if you'd like to enjoy multiple courses and make an evening of it though.
The chicken milanese and the strawberry tiramisu were delicious!! I also just heard that their Monday evenings are gluten free!! The private green room is outstanding!!
