TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either.
Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing.
Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds.
Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy.
Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.
Always the best food. Very large place with a beautiful patio. It is one of my favorite places to go. Everything is always good. Only took a photo of my item last night which was the shroom burger. Beautiful baguette and tasty cheeses to make it the perfect burger. Friends had a poke bowl, Salad and another burger.
My friend needed Gluten Free and they were helpful.
At the bar they also have THC drinks 🍹 One of my favorite places to get wings. Also one of my favorite appetizers is the Ahi Tuna Crisp.
Servers will help you makes choices if you have not been here. Friendly staff!
This is a great option in the North Loop.
Food is always great and service is fantastic. We had vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free people in our group and the waitress knew all of the dishes and ingredients and was able to create plates that worked for everyone.
Delicious all gluten and dairy free food. Fun environment. Went with four friends. We each ordered something from plant and game section with one of us ordering from the shareable section and we left satisfied. If you’re looking for standard American huge portions, not your place. If you’re looking for a place to try unique dishes and shareable with someone then yes!

Love love love this place! Amazingly good! The garlic cheese bread is the best ever! The pizza’s are soooo good! They did a wonderful job on the gluten free crust! The atmosphere is adorable and we had the best server ever!
First time at Billy’s and we definitely enjoyed ourselves!
Food was very good but it’s pretty spendy. The experience is lacking for me. With price that high I kinda expected the experience would match the price point. It’s loud and tables are pretty snug.
I am gluten free and would recommend the NOLO sushi roll.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating!
Overall we had a good time and would eat here again!
Dress- all over the place. I thought it was fancy but I felt over dressed.
Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.
I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.
This was my first visit to Capitol Grille and it was amazing! My friends and I went to celebrate my birthday and everything was great! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and let us know what was the gluten-free options for my friend who is gluten free. All of the food was super delicious and cooked to perfection, I would definitely recommend a trip to Capital Grille for a night out or to celebrate.
My wife and I had the welcome party for our wedding here and Halina and the rest of the Number 12 crew were amazing! Halina took extra care to put together a wonderful charcuterie appetizer for us, and they did a fantastic job accommodating one of our gluten free guests. The space was perfect for mingling with everyone and there was space for the kids to play games outside. I can’t recommend this place enough for an event, or even just a delicious drink!
We have been a patron of Boludo's since they opened the counter only service on Nicollet next to NightHawk's restaurant. Pizza and service were always excellent. We have also gone to the new location on 38th - service with Oscar was always wonderful - pizza and empanadas were great. In the past couple years, we've had not so great service and food experiences at the Uptown, Dinkytown and even on 38th when Oscar was no longer at that location - the orders were often incorrect, the pizzas were sometimes burnt and the service was not what it was so we hadn't been back in nearly 2 years. Tonight we decided to try the location on S 4th Street Downtown. There were 2 problems - We arrived a little after 8pm and were told by the person taking orders that we could only order take out despite the fact that they didn't close until 9pm and it was lovely outside on the patio. We said that was fine and placed our order. After we ordered and were waiting for our food, a gentleman came in, placed an order with a different counter person at the counter and was given a number to sit on the patio. We then watched the person at the counter take 2 salads and a tray of empanadas to the gentleman and his companion on the patio to eat there at the restaurant. Next, the same counter person took two pizzas outside to the patio to another lady, who had ordered just before us. So I approached her and asked why we were told we could only order takeout. She didn't have a good answer or explanation and told us we could sit on the patio if we wanted. I asked my partner if he wanted to sit outside and he said at this point he didn't want to stay - so I told her we would just take our food to go. The second issue was with our order. We got a small order tonight - just the De La Casa Salad and the Margarita Pizza with extra sauce - which I stated to the person taking our order 2x - once when I placed the order and then checked again when we paid. When we got home, the pizza had NO SAUCE and tons of Cheese! Getting our order wrong has also happened several times before at other locations. Even when we ate regularly at 38th Street, would go into the restaurant to place our order as it was often wrong if we placed online or in person. Had to toss tonight's pizza. We also started ordering the gluten free crust about 2 1/2 years ago, right before we stopped coming the 1st time. The initial gluten free crust tasted a lot like the empanada dough and wasn't very good. We were also anxious to see if the gluten free crust had improved - it looked like it had but we couldn't eat the pizza with no sauce.
We used to eat at Boludo's at least 2x a month when it opened until a couple years ago, but the poor service, inconsistency with the food and inability to get the orders correct are not worth the time or $$ - too many other places in town.
A little bit of everything for everyone and a great labeled and specific Gluten Free Menu! I was able to get the grilled prawns, the GF bread (which for $22 and a few slices felt a little pricey, but the bread was great) and the pasta and could share fries with the table. Our server made sure to make note and when the food came out they made sure to say, gluten free pasta, so it was easy to rest assured my food was GF!
So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious.
I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good.
But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like.
Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options.
If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!
What a unique date night spot! We had never experienced fondue before, so it helped that our server Courtney was so friendly and knowledgeable. Since I eat gluten-free and dairy-free, I thought I'd have to forgo half of the meal, but The Melting Pot came through with vegan cheese, GF dippers, and vegan chocolate. My husband loved the vegan cheese even more than his real cheese dip, which is saying something! It's rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond to meet your dietary needs.
The only reason for the four star is because the environment was really loud and overstimulating. We were seated next to the kitchen, so that contributed to some of it, but the couple booths have tabletops that are so small that you can barely fit all of the dippers and dishes and beyond. The food was great, but the atmosphere was a bit chaotic. If you want to go for the experience and food, it's amazing, but if you want to have an in-depth chat or cozy evening, this might not be the fit.
They had many gluten free items, including the gluten free scone that was still hot out of the oven. The coffee was very fresh and great tasting, many varietals available.
This is an amazing date spot! Incredible food, great atmosphere, friendly servers. Everything we had was excellent, and they have vegetarian and gluten-free options if you need them.
One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Food is delicious, service is top notch, atmosphere is also great. Love the gluten free menu. Portions are big for main dishes. We took leftovers home and on the next day it tasted as good.
everything was amazing today. Our server was very professional and knew his stuff.
I asked about Gluten free and he verified everything with the kitchen staff.
One of the best old fashioned drinks I have had in a while.
Portion sizes were perfect, not too much to eat. Food was all top notch and would love to come here again sometime.
Standard sushi and sashimi fare that is fresh and flavorful. Great spot to stop if you have gluten concerns related to Celiac disease. Gluten-free plates are labeled and GF tamari is available.
We are super thankful to have this fully immersive, intimate jazz spot that brings in astonishing and highly talented jazz stars. We’ve taken in bluegrass, a lot of Brazilian music, some indie, and several exceptional cover bands. Recently we heard Chris Botti – so very, excellent!!! We are huge fans of John Pizzarelli and Elain Elias. And we are so thankful for the times we saw Ramsey Lewis.
While some have better seats than others, the stage is visible from almost all angles! Or at least part of it. Where else can you be seated so close to such national and international greats!? We’ve had the front row multiple times but booking as soon as a show is announced. It is so fun to view close-up how the drummer, violinist, piano player, or organist plays.
The owner takes great care to see that the acústica are great. The items on the menu switch up seasonally and are fairly priced. Serving sizes are typically on the small side. It’s nice that they have Gluten Free options; we’ve taken guests many times, and they loved the food and the performances. I recommend finding their seating chart – you can easily see where the booths versus tables are. The center balcony seats also let you view the whole stage. If you go to the second show of the night, there is less time to enjoy dinner beforehand, but you miss the rush hour traffic. You can order an Old Fashion or Gin and Tonic whether or not they are on the menu. The Blackened Trout is always excellent. As well their chowder, salads, Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits, and cheese and cracker boards are superb. I also highly recommend the Lake Vermillion Crawfish Gumbo.
I recommend traveling there early to find parking and have time to walk and be seated on time. Or use Valet parking; it’s easy and worth it if time is a barrier
The location of Kindee is perfect for so many who want to see a show at the Guthrie, especially if you need to eat gluten-free! They have so many options on their menu for Gluten-friendly, and everything was delicious! I enjoyed a small teapot of jasmine tea with my mee gati and my husband enjoyed the massaman. My dish was loaded with tasty ingredients on a pool of broth. The broth had just the right amount of spicy kick to bring the flavors to life without overpowering my palate. The massaman was also a touch spicy, but with an interesting sweetness like brown sugar inside! I think we need to keep showing this little restaurant some love because we will definitely come back!
Ordered from here via door dash. Food was amazing and they had gluten free options for my family member with Celiac's disease. Will be recommending this place to my friends and other family. The food was amazing!
Loved our breakfast. We had a crew of 5 in town for a comic con convention, and there was something on the menu for everyone. Everything was delicious. Breakfast tacos, chicken and waffles, gyro omelet, and more all were delicious! They even had gluten free pancakes for me because I have an allergy.
Delicious! We had the smoked salmon bagel sandwich on an onion bagel and they even had gluten free buns for our GF friends. The sesame latte and blueberry vanilla latte were so good too! Definitely worth a stop!
Amazing food and atmosphere. Came here with my whole family and everyone loved it. They had lots of gluten free options for me and some non alcoholic options for my husband. Will be back many more times!
All the food was amazing. The waiter was wonderful. I have Celiac and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were celebrating our anniversary and the free creme brulee was presented very well and tasted amazing. It is worth the expense.
Amazing staff, I have celiac and our waitress asked her kitchen to make me gluten free cheese bread! It's something so simple and It made my night so much better. She went out of her way on a Friday night to do something special for me without me asking ♥️ thank you for that

We had reservations at NoLo but called an audible and went here instead because they had a lot of Gluten Free options.
No regrets, we would definitely go back. We’d go back just for the jerk chicken, so good!
Great Hmong Southeast Asian food at Graze! I’m so glad I tried this place. It mixes some familiar and some more unique flavors. I got the grilled tofu plate with kow soi noddles and sticky rice. Overall, super delicious and flavorful, and I love that it’s vegan! The veggies and herbs really made the dish fresh and tasty. I also got a strawberry guava juice, which was very good. I would definitely come back here. Lots of options including vegan and gluten free. Service was fast and very friendly.
Worked with Soul Bowl to cater our Volunteer Appreciation Party and it couldn’t have gone better. Easy communication with their catering manager Samantha who also helped us create a menu for the event that was inclusive of several food allergies and had options for vegetarian/vegan/gluten free folks. Catering was delivered and set up right on time and our guests RAVED about how delicious it was. HIGHLY recommend!
The place is aesthetically pleasing but I would not go back as a person with gluten free/celiac. I only got a Cobb salad with no breadcrumbs which they assured me it can be done with a celiac allergy. About 20mins after my stomach felt awful and still does the next day.
My non celiac friends enjoyed it. This post is just for the gf community.
I eat out a couple of times a month and have not been glutened in a few yrs.
Celiac friendly
