Delicious!! And my friend has gluten-fee and it was really good.

Ava Weinstein

Absolutely incredible food here and very accommodating. They have a lengthy gluten free menu in addition to their regular menu. The food is delicious for those who have restrictions and those who don’t. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating.

We were a party of four; One foodie, one vegetarian, one gluten free and one carnivore. We were all able to find an option for our varied tastes and dietary needs. All selections were delicious and the milk shakes, which are available with milk, oat milk, soy milk, etc., were fantastic!

Rachel Dawes

AMAZING! This Italian restaurant was so unbelievably delicious and as someone with Celiac, this is my new favorite place! We shared the GIANT gluten free meatball and the garlic cheese bread as apps, he had the regular veal parm and he loved all of it. I had the GF chicken parm, which I haven’t had in years! Portions were enormous and it tasted so good! I will definitely return!!!

Beautiful experience lived in August 2024. We felt at home. Excellent and very friendly staff. I had to fly all the way here to eat the best gluten-free pizza of my life. You are truly the best Italian restaurant in NY. Congratulations

There's really no reason to go here unless three conditions exist; 1. You keep kosher. 2. You're Gluten Free and Kosher. 3. You have money to light on fire. The menu is amazingly unimaginative and, honestly, lazy. The quality of the food is...fine. But this is NYC. So, really, by that standard, not really fine. And the prices, for what you get, are off the chart. Yes, there's a kosher upcharge, but $29 for a burger, no fries included, is absurd. The place is doing business as it was packed with well-heeled UWSiders and younger ones with their parents' credit card. So, perhaps they're thinking why change it if people are laying out for this. Sorry, you seem like nice people. But it's just gotta be better.

Great options for vegan brunch. Although the vegan BLT was unexpectedly sweet, the quality of the food was excellent.i would return to try another vegan dish. Recommended for groups with various dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, nut free, etc). Service was great!

Michelle Mulvey

The food and drinks were amazing. We had the dip sampler, Colombian ribs, fish tacos and passionfruit cheesecake. They have plenty of gluten free and vegan options. Highly recommend!

Moises Mascorro

Awesome place, especially if you are looking for Gluten Free options.

Donn Ess

Love this place! Vegan cheese and gluten-free crust for the win. Four of us ordered three pizzas, and there were no leftovers. Top notch service as well, we'll be back.

A Amado

Excellent Wagyu smash burgers. Gluten free options appreciated. Hoping there’s no cross contamination. Might need updating if celiac wife becomes symptomatic.

Née

We had an excellent dining experience at Tamarind Tribeca. The food was tasty, fresh, and exceeded my expectations. The waiters were knowledgeable and made great suggestions, especially for gluten-free dishes. The drinks were fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect for a date night. Overall, 10/10.

Caroline Voegele

Absolutely loved the food and especially the gluten-free options (even gluten-free bread)! Did not disappoint and will be back

Jessi Parker

This is a hidden gem. They have fried mozzarella and amazing chicken parmesan. Daniel is the best. We will be returning for sure!

Erin Barth-Dwyer

Incredible gluten free fried chicken sandwich!!

A Thoughtfully Crafted Burger Experience in the Heart of Forest Hills Bareburger in Forest Hills is far more than your average burger joint—it’s a place where quality, care, and creativity come together beautifully. The menu is impressively versatile, offering everything from classic grass-fed beef to bison, elk, and plant-based patties that don’t feel like afterthoughts. Each ingredient feels intentionally chosen, and it shows in every bite. What sets this place apart is its ability to cater to nearly every diet without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or simply a lover of a well-made burger, Bareburger ensures you feel included—and well fed. The sweet potato fries deserve their own round of applause, and the shakes (whether dairy or plant-based) are thick, nostalgic, and satisfying. The ambiance is inviting—rustic yet modern, family-friendly yet grown-up enough for a casual date night. Staff are attentive and genuinely helpful, which goes a long way in today’s fast-casual dining scene. Yes, it’s priced a bit above your typical burger spot, but the difference in quality and experience more than justifies it. Bareburger is a Forest Hills gem—one that honors the art of the burger while embracing the values of thoughtful, sustainable dining

I had high hopes after seeing the reviews and the gluten-free options. The owner and staff were surprisingly hostile to our party as first timers, commenting directly to us (and others) throughout the meal about how absurd it was that we did not have cash on hand for payment. Very bizarre, and something I’ve never experienced before. The gluten-free pizza tasted worse than a Domino’s pizza, and was twice the cost ($25). I can’t recommend much about this venue.

Came to Palma because of rave reviews of their GF pastas and GF food. Overall they had a great selection of Gf foods and also listed what was DF. Sensitive to allergies. Service was pretty basic but the atmosphere was lovely. Mixed reviews on the food (see below) but would definitely return and would recommend to anyone with gluten and dairy dietary restrictions. Our appetizers were fantastic- had the fritto misto and the octopus- perfect for sharing for 4 people. There were plenty of GF main options, but only two pastas labeled GF (although the GF fettuccine can be made with any sauce). I was very underwhelmed by the GF fettuccine with mushrooms and truffles. The Gf pasta was cooked “al dente” but that made it a weird texture. Not all of the mushrooms were well cooked. My daughter had the parpadelle bolognese and the pasta was somewhat falling apart. My husband was happy with the ravioli although it was a small portion. Overall 4/5 on the food, some hits and misses but we generally had an enjoyable meal.

I have Celiac and have never had a problem the many times I’ve eaten at 5 Napkin Burger. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and the gluten free bun is very good. I’ll definitely be eating there again.

J G

Great experience. Knowledgeable staff. Many GF options.

Kathy N.

The manager was very nice to let me sit in the cozy bar area tonight thank you ! I couldn’t decide what iced tea to have so they let me combine the hibiscus with the sugar free black tea- so good on a super hot night ! I had a nice dinner , the only thing is I really wish you could have gluten free pancakes at night too not just in the morning . I’d be here more often if you added that to your menu all the time . Please consider it since the people next to me also wanted gluten free pancakes . I’m sure on the regular I’m not the only one who wants this .

Andrew Ring

The selection of burger options at Bareburger was genuinely impressive. Beyond the typical options, you can get elk, bison, impossible, black bean, and more. The topping options are likewise variety. Everything I tried was delicious, and my teenagers loved it too. There are vegan sections of the menu, and other dietary restrictions, like gluten-free, are well marked in the menu. Highly recommend.

Kerry Juliano

Delicious food and great service. Grateful for a spot with gluten free and vegan options.

Sophia Green

Great for celiacs! On the ticket they labeled my meal ‘gluten allergy’ and took extra steps to limit cross contamination! Would recommend!

Brigit R

Have to come back soon. Great gluten free options food and family atmosphere

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area. Here are some of my favorite items from them Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy. Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days. Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts. Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in. Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful. Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy. Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor. They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES

Gaby Kitner

100% gluten free and largely vegetarian at fair prices with a super friendly staff.

Steven Pichette

Excellent service and gluten free meat lovers pizza

This has become our absolute go-to spot whenever we’re heading to Broadway for a show. Whether we’re seeing a matinee or catching an evening performance, this restaurant is perfectly located—just a short, easy walk to and from most of the major theaters. The convenience alone would make it worth a visit, but it’s the consistently great food and service that keep us coming back. The menu is broad enough to please a variety of tastes, and we’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or something on the lighter side, there’s always a solid selection. They offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, and there are even a few vegetable-forward and salad choices for those seeking vegan fare. It’s refreshing to find a place in the Theater District that doesn’t treat dietary restrictions like an afterthought. Service is always prompt, professional, and genuinely friendly—even when they’re busy. It’s clear the staff are used to handling pre-show crowds, and they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed. There’s plenty of seating, and they’re able to accommodate groups of various sizes without much trouble. That said, if you’re with a larger party, I’d highly recommend making a reservation in advance. While the wait is typically reasonable, especially considering the area, bigger groups may wait a bit longer during peak hours. As for the atmosphere, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bustling, popular spot in Midtown Manhattan: energetic, lively, and often filled with a mix of tourists and locals discussing the shows they’ve just seen or are about to see. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, this probably isn’t the place—but if you’re in the mood to soak up the electric pre-show energy of the Broadway scene, it’s ideal. All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between location, quality, and value. It’s a reliable favorite that helps round out the Broadway experience in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Theater District.

Had the best meal and my daughter was able to safely try foods she’s never had before like fried pickles, popcorn chicken… the burgers were amazing and everything was safe. There are a few items on the menu in that are not gluten free but nearly everything could be gluten free and 100% of their fried chicken is gluten free! Highly recommend!

Sarah

Panini Grill was a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. As someone who eats gluten-free, it was such a treat to enjoy a flavorful, satisfying meal without compromise. Highly recommend!

Yaritsa Rodriguez

Amazing gluten free burgers for my daughter

Drew Pattison

Ke the lead server was excellent. Thorough knowledge of what is gluten free (seemed like most of the menu), and even brought out the miso soup base to check some ingredients with me. Great attention to detail. Lunch prices very reasonable. Food was excellent. Overall great. Perfect service. High integrity place.

Kam

I love pizza. This place can Pizza. Key for me: Insanely good gluten free pizza. I genuinely was worried they gave me regular gluten pizza the first few times I ordered because it tastes to me so much like a regular pizza.

We celebrated our wedding at abcV, and our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The food was absolutely incredible—each dish better than the last. With 12 family-style dishes, there was an impressive variety, and every one felt distinct with no repetition. The presentation was stunning, adding to the overall experience. While most of our guests weren’t plant-based, they were all delighted by the meal, and our gluten-free guests had plenty of delicious options to choose from. The service exceeded our expectations—every staff member was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Having dined at many vegan and vegetarian restaurants worldwide, we can confidently say this was one of the best meals we’ve had. A special thank you to Zac for his exceptional help in organizing our event so smoothly.

Brad Arnholt

From GA. Wife is Celiac. Food was amazing, salted caramel shake a d pickle chips were to die for. I would share a pic, but it is just empty plates at this point. Staff were also friendly and helpful.

Abi Hall

Excellent food, lots of gluten free choices.

Jennifer B

Wonderful cool looking place to have a vegan/gluten free meal. The vegan bowl was so goood as well as the desserts

Nilsson Holguin

The entire experience was amazing. We went for gluten free food and stayed for the atmosphere.

Lisa Carbone

The food was an absolute dream. The service was seamless and impeccable. As a celiac, I felt very well taken care of and want to thank Caroline for such great care. It was very emotional to have such beautiful food available to me.

Mariella Zuta La Rosa

I’m really happy with my experience at Trinity Place! The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. They even have a separate gluten-free menu with a great variety of starters and main dishes. I had the tuna tartare and the salmon — both were absolutely delicious! They come with gluten-free bread, but can also be served with regular bread on the side for those who don’t need to eat gluten-free. For the main course, I had the duck risotto, which was spectacular. They also offer gluten-free drinks like beer. Everything was incredibly tasty, and best of all, my stomach felt great afterwards!

Stephanie A

Great local pizza spot. Fresh ingredients plus a gluten free option. Will be back!

Marsha Mei

Came here on a Saturday for boozy brunch. They had a bunch of different mimosa flavors and sangria. It was fun trying different flavors. They had many gluten free and vegan food options as well. Carolyn was awesome! She was super nice and friendly!

Bertha González

The place is very large, and the atmosphere and service are excellent. There are gluten-free options, although it's not listed on the menu.

Rachel Dawes

Such an incredible experience and so much food! I’m the only one in our party with Celiac and the waitress subbed out some of the options with gluten free ones. Most of the marinades and sauces are GF, wait staff extremely knowledgeable and the menu is labeled. Fun experience, cooking on your own grill.

Tegan Miller

The gluten free fish and chips was amazing and Jay was so lovely! Thanks for the great service and food!

María Gómez Fernández

A charming place with impeccable service. Exquisite food and delicious gluten-free pasta. An Italian taste in NY that I recommend to everyone

Samantha DeRose

My family visited Eataly after spending the day at a few museums in the area. We were looking for a quick bite for a group of 6. To say that Eataly is an experience is an understatement. My parents are in their 80s and want to go back just to spend the day exploring the place. They said they felt they were back in Italy 🤣. From the Aperol spritzes to the scrumptious pizza to the extremely helpful and accommodating staff, everything was perfect. I must say that the gluten free pizza is hands down the best pizza I have ever had, even prior to my celiac diagnosis 16 years ago. They are very clear about warning that there could be cross-contamination. I did not have a reaction at all. It was so good I almost cried. If you’re gluten free, you know what I’m talking about. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to return when we have more time to browse😁
