Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegan Havens Across Rhode Island

Erin Thornton

I have eaten at blackies a few times, each time a dream for me, someone with celiac disease and a food lover. But this review isn't about those times. Buckle up. I host birthday parties for my kids. Not at play centers or whatever because no, why would I, thats too easy and I like hosting. But everything is always gf because I have to exist in my own home. I had made arrangements to have gf pizzas from another place close to me and their business hours changed making it impossible to accommodate hungry toddlers and their parents for the party time. Enter panic mode. I call blackies and leave what im sure is nothing short of a desperate dumpster fire voicemail and then pray to any deity who would answer. Plot twist there is in fact a saint of gastrointestinal distress. Blackies calls the next day says they can accommodate my pizza dilemma and boom I pick up 6 insanely good pizzas and my guests devour them and do the typical, "I cAnT bElIeVe ItS gLuTeN fReE" schpeal. I cannot thank the staff and management enough for saving my gluten free buns and rest assured I will probably order my party food again from you in the future but with way more notice 😅

Great place for drinks, craft beer, and amazing pretzels. There are plenty of gluten-free options.

Everything I’ve tried so far is delicious. The shop is tiny but has a great variety of items. I picked up an apple cider donut, apple fritter bread, focaccia bread, cheesecake bites, a calzone and more. Parking is tight but otherwise it’s been a great experience.

Jess M

Lots of GF options. The staff was knowledgeable and ready to help. They used specific blue rimmed plates for GF food. The food itself was hit or miss, but I did not get sick. I was happy to have so many options

Joanna White

Massimo is always amazing! The food is delicious, incredible authentic Italian, with a full gluten free menu! The staff is attentive and so friendly, especially the Manager Anna, who always greets us warmly and welcomes us back. We happily travel over an hour to come here for date night and special occasions and it’s always worth it! Highly recommend!

Extremely good vegan and gluten free desserts. The Samoa oatbar is a 10/10 and if it ever disappears I'll likely not survive without it. Its so good, some weeks I get it multiples times! Very friendly customer service too.

Melanie Baga

Phenomenal!!!! Best GF everything!!!

Julie Young

I had an incredible lunch here yesterday! I was pretty nervous since I haven't had pizza from a restaurant since my Celiac Disease diagnosis 4.5 years ago, but our server John was fantastic. He answered all my questions, double checked things when I asked, and put me totally at ease. He reassured me they take allergens very seriously, including a separate prep area AND a separate oven for GF pizzas! I had a 1/2 pesto margherita and 1/2 chicken bacon ranch pizza, both sides were equally delicious.

Valerie Humphry

Excellent food with gluten-free bread and wraps, quaint atmosphere, and tea time with my sister! Ask for Christine, Excellent service!

Ron Baker

A large selection of gluten-free foods.

Lena Andreuk

Absolutely amazing food, very diverse menu options. I'm vegan but my husband is not. They had the regular menu as well as a Vegan menu and Gluten free menu! We got upgraded margs (which were amazing) vegan nachos, vegan Cali burrito with smoked tofu, and barbacoa burrito. Everything was amazing, if we ever busy Newport again, we'll be sure to be back!

During my recent four-day stay at the Residence Inn while attending Flight Sim Expo 2025, I was so happy to discover that 110 Grill was conveniently attached right to the hotel. It felt like such a treat to have a quality dining spot just steps from my room, especially after long days exploring the expo. The restaurant has a warm and modern atmosphere, with a stylish interior featuring sleek wood finishes, cozy lighting, and an inviting open kitchen concept that lets you watch the chefs in action. It is spacious yet comfortable, making it perfect for both solo dining at the bar and gathering with friends at a table. One of the biggest highlights about 110 Grill is their dedication to accommodating dietary needs. They are known for having a completely gluten-free menu, right down to a separate fryer to avoid cross-contamination. As someone who appreciates when restaurants go the extra mile for their guests, I thought that was fantastic. I came in around noon on Sunday, and the place was surprisingly quiet, offering a peaceful escape from the busy weekend crowds. The bartender was absolutely wonderful. Although she seemed to be the only person working the floor at the time, she managed everything with such grace and friendliness. She was attentive and so kind, and she mixed some amazing drinks. I enjoyed a couple of their signature 110 Margaritas, and they were both fantastic, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus flavors and just the right amount of tequila kick. For my meal, I ordered the Apricot Shrimp Risotto along with a side Caesar salad, and it completely blew me away. The risotto was creamy and rich without being heavy or mushy, and I was delighted that there were no diced onions hiding in it, since I usually find they overpower the dish. The shrimp were large and tender, and the hint of sweetness from the apricot created a beautiful harmony of flavors. It was one of those meals that stays with you long after you have left town because it was genuinely that delicious. Looking through the menu, I noticed that 110 Grill offers a great variety of dishes ranging from hearty steaks and burgers to creative seafood options and vibrant vegetarian plates. Their menu often features seasonal specials and locally inspired flavors, keeping things fresh and exciting. They also have an impressive cocktail list and a nice selection of wines and local craft beers, which makes it a great spot for both dinner and drinks. Service, even during quiet times, felt warm and personal, and I appreciated how attentive the staff were to details, especially when it comes to food allergies or dietary preferences. If you find yourself staying at the Residence Inn or anywhere nearby, or you simply want a delicious meal in a modern, comfortable setting, I highly recommend checking out 110 Grill. It was the perfect place to relax, indulge in a fantastic meal, and treat myself during my trip to Flight Sim Expo. I am already looking forward to coming back the next time I am in town.

The wine and dessert (cannoli) were great, but the entrees were pretty bad. We got the chicken milanese and it was some of the most overcooked chicken we have ever had. The gluten free pasta and sauce were mediocre at best. Not happy with the food, but service was nice and it was a pleasant environment. The water had a very bad after taste also, would not drink.

Sofia Johnson

Huge menu in a casual yet family friendly environment. Gluten free options were appreciated and service was attentive and knowledgeable.

Samantha

Has great gluten free options! And the best poutine around that is also gluten free!

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

Wan Lin Qin

So good! American vegan food blows my mind. I loved the macaroni salad, crispy tofu roll, gluten free cake cup and am excited to try the brownie tomorrow.

Josh Trott

Apponaug is a fantastic Rhode Island brewery. Typical (but beautiful) industrial/converted mill aesthetic, great food (including gluten free options for my wife), and a wide variety of beer styles. They generally have a strong German lineup (Kolsch, pils, schwartzbier, Vienna) alongside more modern styles (ipa, NEIPA, Mexican lager). Services is always friendly , and the outdoor space is amazing when it's not raining.

Kelly Simmons

I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.

Jeff Savarino

Best Indian food in Providence among a few other strong choices. Lots of gluten free options.

Philip Goodson

Ashley Alden

Have eaten here many times and mentioned that I have celiac disease. Great place and food and did not get sick.

Lindsay Timko

I love this place…. they were one of the first restaurants to get on-board with having gluten-free options several years ago. Prices are a little high, but all prices are a little high. I love all the artwork they have displayed everywhere. I definitely recommend this place. ❤️

Kathy Danis

Nearly all items on the extensive menu can be made gluten free. I had fish and chips! Which was excellent. The fish was so fresh and tender, the chips were chip/French fries. I also got a little loaf of gluten free bread! Also amazing with the cinnamon maple butter. And if you are so fortunate enough to have the server Julianne, your whole experience will be made better. You will leave feeling happier and know she truly cared about your food and dining experience. Her knowledge about gluten free food, caring attitude and willingness to go above and beyond should well be noted. I love, love love everything about this restaurant and can't wait to go back, and hope that Julianne will be working. A++++

Restaurant was clean and well lit. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to dietary needs. Large selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free items. Food was delicious with a wide flavor profile and range of heat. Prices were not prohibitive. Parking can be a little challenging if you are not from the area.

Lisa Mayberry

Everything was good except for the grilled octopus which I sent back because you couldn't even chew it. Second time was better but still just ok. But the standout here was the gluten-free lamb poutine, everyone loved that!

Vivienne

I have to drive 45 minutes to go to physical therapy in Wakefield but, I always look forward to getting my wrap after. I'm greeted with a smile which means a lot because most people forget to connect with others. The gluten free and vegan options are top notch and I always leave feeling full and healthy. The staff have such beautiful attitudes and I'm so happy I found this spot. Thank you!

Peter Hill

This is a favourite of mine for after kayaking. I avoid gluten and dairy, so I am quiet pleased with the selection of gluten-free vegan muffins. Great coffee too!

Thales Da Riva

Delicious food and coffees, love the Gluten-free options

Zachary Kravetz

Great food and gluten free options

Jeanne Cherry

This is the only chain where my friend with a gluten allergy has never (knock on wood) had an issue with cross-contamination. No matter which location we have gone to, the food is always good and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend.

Sarah Nolan

I was so over joyed to eat fish and chips out of a celiac safe deep fryer!! It tasted amazing and it was obvious they keep the oil very clean! I work in a kitchen and I know first hand how nasty deep fryers can get!! We went with friends that recently moved to Rhode Island and now we made a promise to go back to Celestial Cafe every time we visit! The chef even came out to check on us! We all loved our experience!

Jules Gray

The best food!!! Never had a bad meal here and they've been consistent quality since they first opened a long time ago. If I still lived here, I'd make it a goal to try every menu item once. I wish I knew how to make such tasty wheat gluten, they have multiple textures - all delicious. They also have the best fry tofu appetizer with that lightly fluffy crisp breading, perfect size for sharing. I always look forward to eating here again!! Thank you for a wonderful restaurant which showcases how great vegan protein can be

Rachel Wilson

The food was certainly the highlight of our visit to the Boat House - my lamb was quite good but my partner’s cod with grits was phenomenal and well balanced. The seven stars focaccia (always delicious in its own right) was elevated with an array of spreads - heavenly. For me, the show stopper was our cake - limoncello mascarpone - not something I’d usually go for but truly divine. And, gluten free! Drinks were solid - Negroni was excellent - and the service and location were good. 4.5 stars.

Siawosh Eskandari

Delectable Thai restaurant with tasty fare. Great awareness of different options for customers with allergies, including gluten, dairy, and egg allergies. The only thing I wished for was a bit more zing, acidity, spicy, and overall vivacity in the flavours to make it a tiny tad more authentic. Although the flavours incredibly refined and clean.

Ida Ang

I’ve probably been here about 5 times so far, where I’ve had food twice, and came for the bar once. This is a vegan place, and is a must to visit for people with allergies/intolerances with a wide menu of gluten free items. I came with a person with gluten intolerance and I’m lactose intolerance and it was nice to not have to choose items super carefully. It’s very refreshing to have a place in the neighborhood that’s got a wonderful cafe vibe and transforms into a bar at night. They have wonderful speciality cafe drinks as well as alcoholic drinks at night. As a bonus, they support local artists in the area. They have a little section of the store with greenery items and one with candles, earrings, and other misc goods from artists.

RUDE & UNAWARE! *CELIACS: Please take caution at this establishment!* This place advertises as gluten free but is only partially gluten free and the staff, in our experience, does NOT understand proper allergy-safe protocol. My wife (who has Celiac) and I went in for GF pastries. We ordered the GF zeppoles and then I pointed at the “Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies” right in the front of the case and ordered a chocolate chip cookie for my wife. The person serving us grabbed a chocolate chip cookie (with gluten, not gluten-free) from the back corner of the display area where there was a little sign that read “Chocolate Chip Cookies” totally obstructed from view and put it in the box with the zeppoles. My wife very politely asked if the everything was gluten free to double check and the person very coldly said “oh, uh, no just the zeppoles… did you want gluten free?”. Thank god my wife asked because we were under the impression going in that everything was gluten free based on their involvement with the gluten free fest last March and this upcoming weekend, as well as their general advertising. The person then said “is it a problem that the cookie touched the zeppoles?” My wife once again very politely said “I’m sorry yes I have celiac disease so I can’t have the zeppoles if it touched.” The other person behind the counter took the box and rudely said “well I guess we’ll save this for someone who can eat it.” As a bakery that “celebrates” themselves for understanding allergy protocols and offering allergen friendly options, they sure don’t seem to show it.

We have been coming to Pianta since they first opened. Consistently excellent food and service. No problem getting gluten-free food at the restaurant. Service staff is efficient, pleasant and seems to enjoy what they are doing. Met the chef today - she is terrific. Highly recommended.

Abigail Wurster

Where do I begin?! The food is unbelievably delicious. Whether you have never tried Indian food before, or if it’s your favorite cuisine, either way, this place is a GEM! Many dishes I’ve never had at any other Indian restaurant. The place is very clean, and you can watch the chef prepare your food so you know it’s all made fresh! Quality ingredients and very clean establishment. The ambience is cozy and good vibes. Great vegan and gluten free options as well! The manager who greets you at the front door is the kindest person and will truly make you feel like a friend! 10/10! You must try this place, you’ll go again and again!

April van Es

The Indian receptionist at our hotel recommended this restaurant and with good reason. Plenty of gluten-free options like Potato Dosa appetiser and lots of vegetarian curries, like the aubergine one I ordered. Brown and pillau rice, and an interesting chickpea bread. Large portions of delicious, slightly spicy food. Very nice Lime Shrimp.

Shannon Haynes

Excellent for gluten free. Celiac safe. Staff very knowledgeable. Appropriate safety precautions taken. Restaurant very clean. Food was delicious.

I love Jersey Mike's and the fact that they offer gluten free bread. I have been to several different locations . What I didn't love on my last visit to this one was , when asked if it was a preference or allergy as soon as I said allergy the girl litteraly rolled her eyes at me ! I was so taken back I was in shock .The fact I was in a hurry kept me from speaking out as to what the problem was . There was no person in front of me and one person behind me , it wasn't a busy long line waiting .I shouldn't have to feel bad about ordering gluten free bread at an establishment that offers it ! Add to the fact she didn't follow thier own protocal and use the reserved slicer and also wiped down the counter leaving crumbs behind everywhere.

Eileen Buser

We had a delicious dinner at Leo’s this evening. The veal parm was off the charts, and the gluten free pizza was the best I’ve ever had. Wine, service, quality of food and ambiance will have us coming back soon.

Ken Joensson

Service and food is always top nothch. Best restaurant in Providence in my opinion. Big part of their menu can be made gluten free. Just ask. Sangria and Caiparinha are delish

Tina Timmer

Diane Whalen

Our waiter Connor was excellent!! My friend has allergies to gluten, he answered her questions on some of the entrees& was very accommodating to her needs! Our food was delicious. We will be back!!

Paul Barto

Ilse

Great pizzeria that's open late! Nice atmosphere, everyone was friendly, and pizza was delicious 😋. Gluten free options, by the slice, and whole pizzas available.

Kate Silvia

Worst restaurant experience ever! Do not go here! I have celiac and I ordered a meal off the item that was shown as gluten free on the menu after I told the waitress that I was gluten free, and it turns out that it wasn’t! I ate some of the meal, and something didn’t seem right to me. I asked the waitress (who finally came back after at least 20 mins, and there was only one other table seated in the entire restaurant) to verify if it was indeed gluten free, she said that she “thinks” it is. She went back to the kitchen to check and then a gentleman came out (assuming the manager?) and informed me that it was not made as gluten free. He said the menu has it listed that way because it can be made gluten free upon request. That is NOT how it is written on the menu, PLUS I did inform her when ordering the food that I cannot have anything with gluten. I was beyond livid. They did not even offer to comp my meal and I was sick to my stomach after eating the small portion of my meal. Fix your menu!!!!!
