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

One of my favorite pizza places. A perfect date spot with arcade games and cool art. Delicious gluten free pizza options. The speciality drinks are perfectly made. The staff is soo friendly and kind. You are warmly welcomed and feel right at home. Can’t recommend this place enough !

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.

I am allergic to gluten. They were so kind making me feel safe to eat there. Food was Amazing, so was our server!

Had a lovely brunch here and everything was super tasty. The gluten free biscuit is a triumph! Tastes and smells like the real thing...what a treat.

The place has a really cool interior and vibe. Every time I’m here I notice some different decor behind the bar or on the wall. I love that the bar seats have skateboards on the backs of them. The bar staff is always friendly and informative. I come in for my favorite cocktail, the track suit. Bourbon, aperol, yellow chartreuse, and lemon. The menu has a lot of gluten free options, and I even had the luxury of having GF onion rings this last visit. This place is one of my favorites.

As the name suggests, the location is very small but the latte was top notch, as was the gluten free coffee cake.

CAV Restaurant is a thoughtful place. Every component of the restaurant seems to be articulately assessed. "Everything in it's place" feels like a proper phrase for this restaurant. The antiquities that surround the dining tables are a severe example of the decorator's style. There are places in Providence that mix small business and museum, this is one of those places. The menu had a selection that doesn't feel as limited as other niche restaurants. The selection did include gluten-free labeling for those who have the need. The Parmesan Encrusted Free Range Chicken Breast was delicious. The portion size was enough, for a fast metabolism, you may want to order appetizers. I like to judge a place by it's presentation of a Caesar Salad. Some places look like they threw a bunch of lettuce leaves onto a place and smatter some cheese on top, with a sneeze of Caesar dressing. CAV was not this place. We ordered the salad without croutons, and it was delicious. There was some baked parmesan on top of the salad that added to the flavor. The dressing was light enough that it did not overpower the other flavors, such as the lettuce and the cheese. The cocktails were excellent! I ordered the Silver and Gold Margarita, they were flavorful and highlighted the taste of the tequila without the taste of the alcohol. A very unique aspect. CAV is a place where I am curious about it all. When observing all of the artifacts, and the actual space that the restaurant was in, it tells a very cool story. I recommend taking the time to make a reservation and enjoy the time spent there. It is a wonderful thing for CAV to be in Providence!

We were so grateful this spot was open on thanksgiving due to us traveling. The food was delicious, they had an Indian thanksgiving meal which was pretty unique. They even had gluten free chickpea bread! The building is unique and we enjoyed our experience here.

My niece and I came to try the matcha latte and she got herself a chocolate croissant. I have a gluten allergy, so there weren't any options I felt comfortable eating. But I really appreciated that the barista cleaned all the equipment before making my latte. My niece really enjoyed her chocolate croissant, it looked magnificent. The vibes were also immaculate, it really felt like a European cafe. We'll be back!

Good environment, beer and food!! Also plenty of gluten-free items!

We had an amazing time at Bodega on Smith! The food was delicious with lots of gluten and vegan-free options. At night, you can sip on great cocktails—shhh, it's a secret! The staff was fantastic, creating the perfect vibe. You can really tell the owners care about the quality and presentation of everything they serve. We can’t wait to return!

Jessica Parkhurst

Stopped here late on a Saturday afternoon and there was still a very good selection of desserts. I got the blueberry lemon bomb, blackberry and champagne gluten free cupcakes. The blueberry bomb was incredible and worth the high price of $10. I was less impressed with the blackberry cupcake as it was a little dry and the frosting not very sweet. The champagne cupcake was a pleasant surprise as some of the GF stuff I’ve got in the past (other bakeries) just weren’t good. This cupcake was super moist and flavorful. Will definitely be returning here for more delectable goodies!

Bellini, great atmosphere, great food, if you don’t have allergies. My friends and I went there for a birthday dinner, and my friend has celiac (she cannot have gluten). We were very clear with our waitress she had this severe food allergy, and when asked about the gluten free option our waitress said the was gluten free spaghetti. But when asked about the tortellini (spinach and feta), our waitress said they could make them gluten free. When we got home, my friend started throwing up and getting very sick. At first we thought it was cross-contamination, so I called the restaurant. When I asked the man at the phone, he had said that was not the case and they cannot make the tortalini gluten free. He had asked for who served us, but we did not remember her name, just the area we were in. He had said she has been there for a long time now and there was “miscommunication”. I am not sure how stating someone (and who) has celiac that could’ve been lost in translation. Hopefully this does not happen to anyone else.

Our server Dan saved the experience. We went for our five year anniversary on a Saturday night. It was steady but we were able to get a reservation and table. The menu is not really condusive if you have multiple food allergies but I knew that I would have limited options going in this was more for my other half. Gluten free options are good if you eat meat if you don't you have pretty much just potatoes. Service was amazing however there were some kitchen problems not to the fault of our server. One of our appetizers was forgotten then brought out probably 40+ minutes after ordering when the server went to inform the kitchen. my boyfriend's steak came out very rare when he had ordered midrare it was more black and blue which he sometimes likes but it wasn't what he was in the mood for. They packed the steak to go however while we were waiting for our dessert ( which they gave complimentary not sure if that was from the anniversary or to make up for the other mistakes) we noticed the to go bag never came out. When Dan returned to let us know dessert would be out soon if we didn't mind waiting we mentioned the bag and he went to look for it. Another young man (who I believe was a busser) came out a minute or two later with a bag asking if we were the missing steak. My boyfriend said yes and took the steak thankfully he checked the bag as it was not his leftovers. We are pretty relaxed restaurant goers so it didn't bother us much we were more worried for whoever would have to catch the fallout from whereever his steak went. (To clarify we were positive it was not our steak as we were given a small fillet and my boyfriend had more than half a new york strip with spicy butter on it which made it orange. The steak we received also had parsley on it when the original one did not). When Dan returned he quickly apologized cracked a few jokes to lighten the mood got us some coffee and said he'd be back with dessert and a new steak. All in all we had an amazing experience because of Dan. The food was just alright considering how much we payed and how many mistakes were made but because of our service our anniversary dinner wasn't ruined and we would go back and give it another try. In the end request Dan and make sure you check your takeaway bag.

Mills Tavern's private dining room was the perfect venue for our wedding reception dinner of 12 guests. Meredith was an absolute pleasure to coordinate with in the months leading up to the big day. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and answer our questions. Meredith provided name tags and custom colored napkins that we picked from a swatch. When our rehearsal dinner venue fell through 1.5 weeks before the wedding, Meredith saved the day by securing the same room for us on short notice. I have celiac disease, and the kitchen staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and has very safe gluten free practices in the kitchen. Meredith was knowledgeable about explaining their allergy protocols to me. I selected my food choices in advance, and the chef ensured that my food would be celiac safe. They even provided a custom charcuterie board for just me. We were able to bring our own flowers and wedding cake. The room is wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was so friendly and proactive. The food itself was delicious, and when a few of the steaks were served undercooked, the waitress was ON IT to make things right. (I've never had this happen at Mills Tavern before. It must have been a fluke.) All in all, would highly recommend for a private event!

My server Caroline was so attentive and not to mention so beautiful!! She attended to our every need and the food was to die for! I went to dinner with my family, my grandparents were in town visiting, they are hard to impress but loved everything from the ambience to the gluten free options. We will definitely be back! Sweet Caroline gave us an excellent night and we are very grateful!

Kathryn Sheehan

We ordered takeout. They were able to answer my allergy questions over the phone. When I picked up our meals, I confirmed mine was gluten free and the host even went to the kitchen to triple check. And on top of that great service, my food was SO GOOD.

Baby Philly roll with knock your socks off. Staff is gluten conscious and helpful.

I have celiac disease and need to be very strict gluten free. The restaurant website has GF dishes marked (although there is a mistake where it says a dish that has farro is gf, but farro is not gf). They also say they take allergens seriously and can make accommodations. However, the server I had was really mean to me and was dismissing my concerns and she did not want to ask the chefs my questions. I pleaded for her to ask the chef if the gf pasta is made in the same water as the regular pasta because I know sometimes it cannot be made separately even though she was telling me not to worry. She came back and it turns out they cannot do the gf pasta in separate water so I would have gotten really sick. She was constantly rolling her eyes at me and making me feel bad about asking questions to keep myself safe. I had never had a server be so rude to me. It seemed like other servers were helpful and friendly so I really hope they at least re-train this employee. We were a party of 5 and had a reservation for Thursday 7/18 at 6pm and we sat at the fire table on the left deck.

Amazing place to grab a bite with your family. Staff is very friendly and the food is superb. Four cheese pizza is the very best, I have issues with gluten, but I couldn't care less, and I stuffed my cheeks with their pizzas. To my surprise, I didn't get sick. Dough is perfect, not too tick, just pure perfection. Prices are really reasonable. Will come back for sure.

I absolutely LOVE this place. This is by far the best ramen sport i've ever been to. Their staff is soo nice and they have amazing home-made food. Attached is the ramen I ordered, its the shoyu vegetable/mushroom ramen with tofu instead of pork and i added bok-choy with gluten free noodles. Im completely gluten free because i'm highly allergic and these were the best noodles i've ever had! I have no idea where they purchase these from but i would love to know! I live in Florida and i came here while visiting family and i WOULD LOVE to go back but its not very convenient lol!! Please try this amazing hidden spot!!

I want to love this place. Great location. But the drink menu is laughably outdated ( 2000's Red Sox players ?) My sangria was a tiny glass of wine and peachtree, for $16. Food is ok , but it's 2024, time to keep some gluten free buns in the freezer, I will overpay for it.

Hey i love this place. The food is great and they're wonderful. I have a very severe disability in addition to a gluten allergy and while they won't always take of the latter they'll work on the former

Elle Fuller

Best experience in Providence. The food is delicious and the drinks are fun. Jack was our server twice and he is amazing! He is friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks, pasta styles, and gluten free options. Easily top tier in Providence.
