The deserts are so good I definitely recommend

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.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Sarah Cichon

Love this place to enjoy quality food with my celiac daughter.

Samantha Anondson

This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

Samuel Hanson

The only place that has such a wide variety of gluten free options in Minnesota

Melina Lee

They make the best gluten free and vegan breads. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and should definitely be eaten as soon as you can while it’s still warm

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Mr Tim

We've been to this OPH several times. The kids always enjoy it. The food is a bit heavy but I think that's why people go here. So I can't have gluten, egg, or dairy which one would think would take almost all of the menu. In the past I have resigned myself to this and just taken the kids here to eat and fed myself later. Today though on the urging of friend I decided to inquire about what I could eat. The waitress sent out the manager and he kindly walked me through what my options were. He was very knowledgeable and quite helpful and I was able to get reasonable tummy friendly pancakes. He did warn me that they use ghee on the griddle and that he couldn't fix and for me that wasn't an issue. So if you have stuff you can't have know that they can work with you to try and come up with something for you and it's worth a shot.

I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a judge on Master Chef, in return I’d accepted that I’d never have an experience where you bite into a dish and get to be absolutely astounded by all the flavors and profiles that come along with it… until I ate at Colita! We had the Pate and it was nothing short of remarkable! The staff was top tier, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting! I’m completely gluten free and could order anything on the menu! We had the best time! Thank you for hosting us and giving us an exceptional experience start to finish! 💕

Perry Andrews

It's so great to have a restaurant in our town that so consistently creates and serves the community wonderful, fresh, sustainable, delicious food. And for someone who has to be gluten free, to be able to have something like the GF pumpkin pancakes of my last visit is the bomb.

Alysha Hoopman

Celiac friendly

Ivars Linde

We asked for a gluten-free pasta, and it was cross contaminated. The person that ate it ended up getting sick.

Ashley Stillwell

A nice place for a quiet evening or a meal on the patio if the weather is right. We come here semi-regularly. I like the fact that they offer gluten free pasta, and I’ve never had a gluten reaction to their food. They also use real olive oil instead of cheaper alternatives (ie. soybean, etc.) I have a soy allergy so this is a big deal for me. Their gluten free flat bread is one of our favorite things to order. The Alfredo sauce is a little heavy in my opinion, but I love the other sauces.

Erin A

Great experience here with celiac disease, visiting with a friend who also has celiac. We were both impressed by the confidence of the staff in describing the precautions they take when notified of gluten sensitivity, as well as their overall friendliness. Everything on the menu is gluten free besides the regular buns. Highly recommend!

Chad Stutelberg

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.

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

Nora Bengtson

All flavors except 1 were gluten free and they had gluten free waffle cones!!!

Erin A

I had a great experience here with celiac disease. The server answered my questions confidently and personally walked me through the menu. They confirmed when bringing out the cauliflower appetizer that it had come from the dedicated fryer. I enjoyed a burger and tater tots. Highly recommend!

Tom Hamel

The service is outstanding. Friendly and extremely professional. The food is delicious. Everyone in our party had something different and everyone loved their meal. Two people had gluten allergies but no worries the options are wide for them and the waitress was very good about asking and telling them of options. The only downside was the noise level. Unfortunately that’s typical of many restaurants. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place.

Michelle Nasvik

Chimborazo continues to be one of my favorite go to restaurants in the cities! Their food is delicious, with unique flavors and just phenomenal Ecuadorian cuisine. I dream about the mahi mahi encocado and ceviche 🤤 I especially appreciate that they have so many options for someone who is gluten free and lots of good pescatarian options too! Their service is always fast and they’re always incredibly kind! Highly recommend.

Gwyn K

Amazing! Yes the food is unique but that’s what makes this place so special. I always find it fascinating when people go to a place that actively advertises as no refined sugars or processed foods and then complain that it doesn’t taste like the rest of the junk they eat. There were many vegetarian options and as a person with celiac disease this place was perfect. I ate so much but felt good after since nothing was processed or junk. My only suggestion is that if you can’t go in with an open mind maybe just don’t go.

This was my 4th time dining here. We made a reservation for our party of 6, which worked out well, as the restaurant filled up fast. We were celebrating my oldests bday (fyi - they don't offer a dessert or anything if it's your day). I have Celiac and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to ordering. Our table shared cheese curds (amazing!) onion rings (not bad) as appetizers to start with. They have a variety of sauces. The harissa was great with the curds. One Daughter said the cowboy burger was THE best burger she's ever had! My other daughter is vegan, and she enjoyed the mushroom tacos, and cauliflower bites. The tacos and bowls are very good, and filling ... The coconut curry soup is so flavorful. The craft cocktails are delicious although a bit pricey. They make all their syrups in house though, so great quality. I recommend the rumpshaker. They offer a variety of beers on tap, mocktails, and a couple N/A beers, and liftbridge root beer. There is a pinball machine near the bathrooms. Fun - but it's $2 per game. There's a few parking spots next to the restaurant. Otherwise it's street parking.

Found about this place in the gluten free places app, we loved the good, the ambiance and the service. Will definitely come back if we are around

Mika Baer

The menu is rooted in Southern and Caribbean-inspired flavors, and everything is made with care. My personal go-to is the pulled chicken, which is juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with the creamed jalapeño spinach - a side dish so unexpectedly addictive that I now find myself ordering it every time, no matter what else I get. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a laid-back counter-service setup that somehow still manages to feel intentional and warm. It’s the kind of place where regulars bring newcomers, knowing the food will speak for itself. Other favorites include the slow-roasted pork, collard greens, and desserts. They are all flavorful, filling, and made to be mixed, matched, and shared. The portions are generous, and there are great options for gluten-free and dairy-free diners, too. Brasa doesn’t try to be trendy or overcomplicated. It focuses on doing comfort food right. With quality ingredients, bold flavor, and heart, if you’re looking for a meal that hits all the right notes without trying too hard, this is it. @foodiemsp on Instagram

Great food. Good service. Gluten free choices are marked clearly and they had a delightful chocolate torte for dessert! Highly recommend!

Angi

Always such a great experience at this location. The team at this location is top notch! Food is consistently great. I appreciate the amazing gluten free options for the kiddos. Good coffee & amazing thick sliced bacon!

Liz Palo

Celiac!

Laura Fredrickson

This unassuming little cafe is SO AMAZING! I travel across town just to eat here. I can't get enough of everything on their Gluten Free Menu - the pancakes are to die for, and I take home at least two of their scones, almond & lemon bars. (yes, they are ALL gluten free!) I am OBSESSED with this place 💖

M. K.

designated gf fryer!!!! one of the owners is gf! Great food!

Wendy Maybury

Brasa is always amazing. They have wonderful gluten free options

Jill Turrentine

Another wonderful meal. We love this restaurant. The only negative i could say is that the salad came out like a minute before the meal but otherwise the meal was delicious. I love that they have a gluten free menu. I got to try the gluten free bead at the beginning of the meal which was really tasty. I'm just thrilled when a dining establishment accommodates my dietary restriction and allows me to feel a part of the normal experience. The local cider beer was nice and my significant other enjoyed his Manhatten. We finished with a wonderful creme Brule which was prepared perfectly. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly tender. My significant other had the north woods fish fry and said it was good even though the coating was different this time (not as crisp). The staff was friendly. This is one of the best establishments in the mall.

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

McKinsey Hurd

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

lynn b

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.

Kasia

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

Savannah Tracy

Surprising amount of gluten free options that were celiac safe!

Jacoby Price

First time coming here. My fiancée has Celiac Disease and we were thankful for their well marked menu for their GF options! The hosts were very kind, quick and efficient. We were seated fairly quickly at 5pm on a Saturday. Our waitress, Brittany S., was so helpful with the menu’s and was quick to show us their mocktail menu when we told her that we didn’t drink. The food was amazing and also came out quickly! We got their GF chocolate cake to-go because we just couldn’t pass it up. Food presentation, Service, the atmosphere and pricing is all 5 stars and worth it. We will be back :)

Zack Jacobs

My girlfriend and I split the Jerk caramel wings and the double burger. Both were great! We are gluten-free, and they have a lot of options for us too.

Brian Kennedy

Our go to "fast food" spot. Gluten free burgers. Sports Bar atmosphere, not our thing, but it's always.

Nora Bengtson

The servers were knowledge and incredibly helpful. Most of the menu can be made gluten free!

Brenda Wright

Amazing food! I'm gluten free and they took necessary precautions for me. Best fried rice I've ever had. Owners son has food allergies, so he knows! Will definitely go back again!

Anna Drechsel

So nice to have gluten free / celiac safe options! Yummy food.

LaShay Oglesby

Gluten Free pizza fixed my way always a win☺️

Allison Erickson

I love this place! My favorite is the Surf Bowl because of all the fresh ground peanut butter on it, but there are many delicious and healthy options. Everything is gluten free and organic.

Jay Flaherty

Gluten free and dairy free option including cones. In a cool strip of Edina highly suggest

Nora Bengtson

Dedicated fryer for the fries. Chicken wings can also be made gluten free. Gluten free bun available but had to make sure that the bun did not get toasted in the machine where the regular buns go. Very knowledgeable staff and if they don’t know, they make sure to ask before inputting your order. Just make sure that you advocate for yourself and ask about kitchen and prep practices.
