This restaurant is fantastic. There are endless options for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and keto diets. We were visiting Ohio for a short period and came for dinner and ended up returning a different day for brunch. The lattes here are made perfect. Highly recommend the chicken wings and quesabirra tacos. If we ever make it back to Cleveland we will definitely be coming back here. The ambiance is awesome. Our server, Serena, was knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming; she made our visit perfect.

I ordered the gluten free bun. I understand that gluten free tends to be “dry”, and crumbly. What I discovered is that eating the burger upside down worked better because the bottom is too thin and fell apart. Overall very good burger and the service was and restaurant was👍.

Angelo cooked me a gluten free pizza. He offered wonderful hospitality as he cooked me a hand made gluten free pizza. The crust was buttery and fluffy and served very warm upon pick up.

Darryl was the best waiter I have had in a long time. We had a group of 17 people and he treated us all kindly and in a timely manner. One person was gluten free and another had food allergies and he was patient and took the time to get their order right. This server deserved recognition and made me want to come back and request just him.

Amazing. We moved to Cleveland 4 years ago and have had a hard time finding good food. This restaurant had tons of options for food & drinks, they made it so easy to find gluten free options I could eat, the drinks were strong, my water glass was never less than half full, they went over the wine list with my mother in law and found her something she loved, the staff was professional & personable, and it was so REASONABLY priced. I was actually shocked when our bill came because I thought it was going to cost twice as much as it did. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks and can’t wait to return.

Melissa provided perfect breakfast service! Our food was out within minutes and prepared with the modifications we needed (gluten free bread, no red onions). The food was simple but delicious and fresh. Well done all around!

An Absolutely Incredible Dining Experience – Safe for Celiacs and Full of Flavor We had an absolutely incredible experience here! Yes, it ended up being a bit of a splurge, but every bite was worth it. As someone with Celiac disease, I was especially impressed - they offer a dedicated gluten-free menu, and the staff was clearly knowledgeable and attentive about cross-contamination precautions. I felt completely safe the entire time and had zero symptoms afterward, which speaks volumes. To start, I had an Espresso Martini - perfectly balanced, smooth, and rich. It’s hard to find a good one, but this hit all the right notes. We shared a shrimp appetizer featuring large, lightly seasoned shrimp that were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our main, my mom and I split the special of the day: Red Snapper with a lemon butter sauce and a touch of crab meat on top. The fish was unbelievably tender and melt-in-your-mouth good, paired with vegetables that were perfectly cooked and flavored. We added a side of their pea risotto - creamy with an unexpected but delightful flavor profile. I took half home and had it for lunch the next day; it was just as good reheated. We ended the meal with a chocolate mousse topped with fresh berries - light, rich, and absolutely divine. We left feeling happy, full, and I highly recommend!

In from out of town (Detroit) and the ambiance was a perfect combination of relaxed, classy and energetic. The food was delicious and offered tasty Gluten-free pasta options! Kayla, our server, was very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome! To top it off, the music and DJ was great! Will definitely come back! Bonus…Woman Owned Business!

My favorite small venue to see a show in Cleveland. It's got that small venue bathroom. Good food though they do need to toast the gluten-free buns before serving them as a sandwich. Great beer selection. Very cool staff.

We were greeted by Danita who was very polite and welcoming. She made small talk and did he job as a hostess. Our server Laura, who was very attentive, guided us through the menu and also made sure to address my gluten restrictions. It's the small things that really speak volumes. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday night. There were just two other tables besides us. We started with the truffle parmessan Brussel Sprouts and they were delicious. I ordered the Grilled Akura Salmon. I would say that it was a solid 6. Basically it's just a grilled piece of Salmon with asparagus on a top of a saffron corn cream which was not very flavorful. My friend got a black bean burger and she seemed to have enjoyed it. We also got a few drinks. Initially we got the turn which was okay. If you like a good balance of liquor to mix I would stay away from this. The simple syrup took over the flavor. My friend Initially ordered The Cle upon the servers suggestion but it was really sour. She ended up ordering Summer Thyme in Cleveland and she suggested that I bet the Blueberry Hill since the Turn was just subpar and I want drinking it. I told her that I was fine and didn't want to send it back but ended up ordering the blueberry hill which was really good if you like bourbon. Overall the experience and great and the atmosphere was very nice though people checking into the hotel did get a bit annoying.

Located in a corner location on the east end of Gordan Square Happy Dog is a great Cleveland dining destination. Meat and non-meat dogs available with a blizzard of topping choices which includes Froot Loops! Many toppings are house made (but not the Froot Loops). In addition to hot dogs, the sides are fries or tots, loaded or not. They are very clear on what is gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. They have a vegan dog and GF bun. The only thing I wish they offered was lettuce wrapped dogs because I don't eat any kind of bun. Lastly they have a good selection of draft, bottled beer and spirits available.

We came to Cleveland for a show at playhouse square. This place was within walking distance and had gluten free pizza! It is bar far one of the best gluten free pizzas we have ever had!! so good.

Came here for our 1 year anniversary & it was awesome! Great staff, incredible food, elegant atmosphere. Everything was 10/10. Our waitress was very nice & helpful. We got free rolls to start, a limoncello spritz, marble room chop salad, fish-n-chips sushi roll, Delmonico steak with asparagus. My wife got the filet mignon 6oz with pommes frites (fries). The hostess were super nice. It’s on the more expensive side but for a special occasion, it’s well worth it. The cotton candy was a nice free gift from our waitress too :) Only downside is they don’t have a lot of gluten free/dairy free options for people with dietary restrictions. But we still had an AMAZING TIME!

Discovered this place the other day when they hosted a dueling piano show and had a wonderful time! The musicians were INCREDIBLE! Food was pretty good, and the raspberry cosmo is so good it's dangerous. And I really appreciate how staff took care regarding my food allergies. Gluten free items are well marked on the menu. I hope they bring the dueling pianos back again soon because it's the best show in Lakewood, and I would go every night.

My boyfriend and I are visiting from upstate New York for the ACDC concert and we decided to stay in downtown Cleveland. We were looking for somewhere to eat in a safer location, and we stumbled upon La Dolce Vita when looking for places to eat with italian options without gluten. When we arrived we were promptly seated. We were then given pasta salad and bread immediately as we sat. I ordered the gnocchi and my boyfriend got gluten free pasta with pesto. Both were so amazing and served so quickly. Unexpectedly after our meal, our server gave us a plate of fruit with whipped ricotta. So delicious! Earlier in the day both of us were bummed with the location of where we were staying, and I can confidently say that the experience at La Dolce Vita and Little Italy was a high point for our trip. Thank you to the whole team here, everyone we encountered did a phenomenal job and we could not be more pleased with our dining experience.

Absolutely amazing food! Everyone in our party was raving. My only wish is for a few pure vegan options. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free choices!

A really wonderful place to stop for a break during the work day also gluten-free free options for those who need that option
