I was impressed that they labeled their menu to identify GF options. I was also surprised that their chicken tenders are GF. I tried the Grass fed brisket bowl, over garlic mashed potatoes, and topped with roasted mixed vegetables. it was exactly what I was looking for! delicious! my husband ordered a burger and baked mac n cheese. he said it was aright and not very hot. my picky kid had the chicken tenders and fries, and he ate it all.

We loved coming here and eating here until today. Was told the gluten free bun had no egg, after the cashier went to the back and checked. Took it home, ate half of it, got a stomach ache, and then called to find out that the buns actually had egg whites. The response I got was that they had just switched over to using new buns, and the old ones didn’t have egg in it. All I was told after that was “my apologies” and the phone hung up. Allergies are clearly not taken seriously.

Gregorio's is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the cozy Italian villa ambiance set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. We visited on a Saturday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately! The handmade pizzas were a hit at our table — absolutely delicious — and the gluten-free pasta was hands down one of the best I've ever had. My husband loved the gnocchi. Everyone was raving about their meals! Our server was an absolute queen — charismatic, attentive, and made our night so much fun. She truly elevated the whole experience. The wine selection was fantastic as well, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine with great vibes and exceptional service, Gregorio's is the place to go! Can't wait to return.

I was told the food and shakes are terrific! Meh. Service was great, but I wasn't impressed by the burgers, and the fries are not recommended. Pricey for the quality. They offer a gluten-free (GF) bun, which is one reason for our visit, but it's a big, dry bun that I can't recommend. We live nearby, but probably won't frequent this place.

Every time I go to Urban Plates I leave extremely satisfied with the food and the service! Delicious healthy food and I soooo appreciate that they label their menu items (gluten free, vegan , etc. for us people who cannot eat certain things). The beet salad with salmon is my favorite!

Went for dinner and this place was hoppin'. The wait without a reservation is very long, so try to get one. Otherwise, plan to maneuver your way into the open bar seating, which is what we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant concept is fun and well carried throughout. The food and drinks were awesome and there are plenty of gluten free options. The staff was very helpful to guide us through the menu to avoid any gluten issues.

I had no idea this restaurant existed in Carlsbad and it was really great. It has a small Historical Museum focused on Boston that was fun to walk through. The best for me was they had gluten-free items on their menu, I had Shepherd's Pie which is normally off limits for me because of the gravy but theirs is gluten free and delicious.
