I recently was put on a gluten-free diet and that has proven to be a nightmare when dining out. I have found most restaurants to be indifferent about the possibility that some patrons may need this accommodation… but not the Panini Grill! They have items clearly marked on their menu, not to mention that they have many options. It was a pleasure to eat there. The staff was top shelf & very helpful. They are a new addition to my list of frequented restaurants (I’ve been back twice).

I discovered the Z-Two Diner back in April 2024 after a Judas Priest concert in NJ and my buddy and I were both starving late at night when nothing else is open, especially for two guys with Celiac Disease, which means we can only eat gluten free. We drove there on the way back to Brooklyn and we both had one of the many choices of burgers on a GF bun with GF steak fries. The food to say the least was delicious and of good quality. I normally don't like diner food because the quality tends to be sub-par and typically the flavors are very bland. Since that night in April, I have been back to Z-Two almost every weekend with my family, especially since I've relocated to Staten Island. The food is still very good, the service and the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. They always have a smile on their faces and love to delight you with funny stories and small talk. The atmosphere is modern and the restaurant is clean. There's plenty of free parking in the parking lot. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant if you've never been there and try the food.

I have been searching high and low for the best gluten free pizza on Staten Island and I think I’ve found it here! The crust is not floppy, it’s crispy and delicious. I will be ordering my gluten free pizzas from here from now on.

I’ve been here multiple times and am writing this review to give 5 stars for the gluten free chicken Parmesan. It is perfectly thin cut, cooked crispy, and huge portion. If you’re gluten free like me, you’ll know how difficult it is to find GF versions of this specific dish, especially one that is done this right. I don’t particularly care for the service as the waiters are a little strange and not like the typical personalities you see at most restaurants on Staten Island…but this dish is so good I just have to keep coming for it. PS. They need to improve the GF chocolate cake because it is incredibly dry and needs something to give it more moisture. I appreciate the effort however.

This restaurant just opened a few months ago and based on my first experience, I definitely plan on being a repeat customer. I would say the food is a blend of American, Brazilian and Italian. We got the burrata (special), rib eye steak, vodka parm with a side of gluten free pasta in mushroom truffle sauce (yes, they have gluten free pasta!) and cheesecake. Everything was exquisite - the quality of ingredients is evident throughout every meal from the burrata to the entree to the cheesecake (which was made in house). Aside from the food, the service and hospitality was the best I have ever experienced. I felt like I was one of the family and that my business was genuinely appreciated. The chef even came out to thank us and asked exactly how we wanted our meals, which was wonderful because we got to customize our entrees to our specific likings. This was the best restaurant experience I have had in a while- highly recommend!

JEEZ!!! Who would ever think that a phenomenal restaurant such as this would exist within Staten Island. With the numerous amounts of restaurants that claim to specialize in “Italian Cuisine”, Dolce Fantasia truly brings value and meaning to those two words. The spectacular vibrant atmosphere, professional service, scrumptious varieties of dishes along with many selections of delightful deserts sets this place apart from any restaurant that exists on Staten Island, hands down. This restaurant sets extremely high standards for food and service, so much so, that inevitably some people will not be able to comprehend. Nonetheless, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, Dolce Fantasia expertly serves its customers with delicious foods that’ll kick some life back into you, which some (a lot) of us need. My experience here was great and I highly recommend y’all pay a visit to this gem. P.S. The Gluten Free Chocolate Soufflé (sounds like a freaking weapon) is from beyond this planet, which by far is my favorite desert which will literally put you in a trance because it’s that damn good.

The food is always amazing best gluten free spot for me!!!!

THIS IS NO LONGER PROJECT BRUNCH!! It’s now called Flores Brunch. It is not similar to project brunch at all. We came for the gluten free cinnamon bun pancakes and they don’t have that option. Only gluten free bread. If we knew that project brunch no longer existed we wouldn’t have driven across the island to eat sub par food that I could have made better at home. I normally do not leave reviews but this really annoyed me that it still states that Project Brunch is open at this location when it is an entirely new place. The waitress laughed in my friends face for ordering an “iced dirty chai latte” and said “I’m going to have a hard time explaining that one to the people in the back” meanwhile it was on their menu. My breakfast burrito came out with literally just eggs and bacon in it and my friend’s scrambled eggs looked like a filet of fish, it was inedible. Will not return - we only stayed because we drove so far out to go to Project Brunch. At least, my cinnamon latte and home fries were good.

Such good food. Very accommodating to gluten free needs. Octopus was delicious, and everyone in our party tried a variety of dishes they loved. Love the vibe and decor. This is like the Stone House's hipster younger sibling. Greatly enjoyed.

I placed a nasty review on here last weekend because I was upset the past few times I didn’t receive the extra chicken I paid for and the lady responded with “i bagged your order the bowl was heavy, there was extra chicken” it was heavy because it was packed with rice which I wrote “light rice im diabetic” anyways I removed the review because this place has been good to me for years, there was 2-3 times I felt I didn’t get the extra chicken, foods always absolutely incredible though, the staff is friendly and it’s never too long a wait unless it Friday night, wouldn’t you rather have a place that has lots of business then some hole in the wall with no customers or reputation? Their beef nachos are out of this world, Fajitas are fantastic, unfortunately I can’t eat gluten anymore so I just get the burrito bowl which is still amazing

Review for those with any allergy to gluten: I’ve been given flour tortilla with my tacos instead of the 100% gluten free corn tortillas I asked for twice! The second time I just returned them, but the first time I trusted that I got what I asked for. Be very careful.

Gluten Free bread available, thank you so much

Came on a busy Sun lunch for 2, got seated right away. Clean, lively spot. Dim sum was main reason for visit, but they can accommodate gluten free, as my husband is celiac but enjoyed the fried rice. Staff very attentive, food comes lighting fast & piping hot. Ordered about 7 different dim sum, could not even pick a favorite, it was all so delicious! Read a previous review to be aware of upcharge.. I mentally kept tabs, and they matched it without having to discuss anything. Honest service, in our experience. Already planning what to try for next time!

Sydney Hofmann

AMAZING food any time of the day! Recently had to go gluten free and they dont have gluten free bread but they're super accommodating and I really appreciate it!

Attentive staff. Gluten free food.

Arielis Filpo

Me and my friends came here for a birthday dinner and it was INCREDIBLE, they gave us an appetizer on the HOUSE that was to die for (seriously ask for their pork buns) the atmosphere was great and the UNLIMITED DRINKS FOR DINNER? BOMB!!! the service was incredible if you’re there ask for Melissa she’s like an angel on earth. Also they are super accommodating for Gluten Free/Celiac they have almost all the same options but GF which was great for members of my party. Truly a great place for bottomless drinks and family style dinner, and it’s super affordable, highly recommend

On a Friday night I placed an order for a gluten free sandwhich along with another order for take out. The cashier rang me up and I waited outside just to come back in and be told they ran out of gluten free bread which was also the only reason I went there in the first place. I was so disappointed so I canceled my whole order. As I walked out I overheard another customer ask for gluten free bread. There was another day on a weekend when I went in the afternoon. The waitress told me they already ran out. Filencino offers gluten free options and many people come for that reason. Knowing the restaurant would be very busy on a Friday night or weekend afternoon, they should make enough to accommodate their customers. Why should we have to call and ask if they have it anytime we want to give our business? HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

The best atmosphere. Excellent service. Celiac and vegan friendly.

We had our engagement party at the Fountain Room and Lobby Lounge, and everything was amazing!! Briana was a joy to work with in planning the event and took care of every last detail. She was friendly and catered to our every request, including bringing my fiancé a separate plate with gluten free versions of our food choices at the party. Ozzy was so awesome in leading the serving staff. He kept his eye on me and my fiancé all night making sure our glasses were always full, and that our friends and family all had a blast. The room is so cool and didn't require any additional decorations. This was a night we will always remember and we are so grateful for the amazing service, food, and ambience at the Fountain Room and Lobby Lounge. Thank you so much!!

I like this place for take out and sometimes for quick informal dine in. The meatballs are very good. Pizza is really good too and the actually have a good gluten free crust. Haven't been disappointed yet.

Mark Rucci

Gotta love the Hop Shoppe. It's the new place to be. Lots of drinks on tap, always changing, great food with options for people who are gluten free or vegan, and to top it off they have karaoke on Tuesday nights, live bands and performances on the weekend, and AND a legit old school arcade in the back. That's what's up. Check it out.

Maizal continues to be a favorite place of mine for Mexican food and drinks. The atmosphere is always comforting and homey complete with art decorating the walls, plants in the window, and little vases on the tables. They have gluten free and vegan dishes as well as vegetarian dishes that can be made vegan if ordered without the cheese and sour cream. I had their spinach and mushroom burrito bowl and it was delicious. The vegan enchiladas verde are another go-to choice that I have gotten many times. They also have great flavored margaritas. The hibiscus is my fav. And their homemade guacamole is a must-have to start off your meal. The staff is also always super nice and the bathrooms are clean which we love to see. They recently added some new menu items so I included some screenshots of the menu from their website since I forgot to take a picture in person.

Great food and service. Staff always eager to please. Gluten Free optionsvand substitutes. Convenient parking present outdoor area very comfortable, and tasteful. Wide selection .

First time at Riva and was not disappointed. The atmosphere was great, the cocktails were good and the Turkish wine excellent. Highly recommend the mixed mezze starter. The quality of the food was excellent, but I did think the entrees could have been a little more seasoned. One recommendation, please use rice without the noodle in it so those who are gluten free can enjoy rice with their entree. I look forward to going back.

This NEW Restaurant is a Single Store Front Restaurant, so I would recommend making a Reservation. The Food and Service were Excellent and if you require Gluten-free Items, they are happy to accommodate. They recently obtained their Liquor License, so they currently do Not have much of a Selection, but I'm certain that will change in the near future. The owner came over several times to make Certain that Everything met our expectations. Another thing that I Particularly liked is the fact that it has an Intimate Atmosphere, it seems to me that almost everywhere I go, are "Sports Bar" Type Restaurants, which is NOT what I desire. Reasonably Priced, I Highly Recommend this establishment.

Anthony Curcio Jr.

Consistently excellent and the service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the lamb korma and lamb chops (ask for mango chutney for the chops). Taste of India is also a great choice for anyone who has celiac disease and needs gluten free options.

Barbara

First time dining at Beso. Service was very good. Asked about gluten free menu, and the waiter brought us one. Food is very good. Will be going back again very soon.

Joe Centineo

Staff was very friends and super accommodating of allergies. We had a fixed menu but they still went out of their way to create a pasta dish that was gluten-free, and even offered to make a special appetizer that would be allergy friendly. All the food was delicious

Jaclyn O'Day

A local recommended Blue and I’m so glad we stopped here for lunch. Everything we had was delicious and would order again, including the grilled calamari, salmon, stuffed lobster, lamb burger, and key lime pie. They did an excellent job accommodating gluten free and the service was great. Highly recommend Blue for a meal with family, friends, or business.

A. Flores

Amazing experience. I went here on a Wednesday night and did not have any complaints whatsoever. The food was absolutely delicious, the decor/ venue is very pretty and the service was wonderful. Javier was our waiter and he was so knowledgeable and versed on the menu I honestly thought he was the chef. I was in the mood for something specific and he literally - and patiently- gave me different options for alternative sauces to see what I preferred. We are quite particular about ingredients but he was very accommodating with our other requests and everything was made perfectly. We got salmon, oven roasted cheese, tavern burger and the 3 mousse dessert (not pictured). They also have gluten free pasta so I plan to try that next time. Highly recommend and I’m very excited to have discovered this restaurant. Our business felt very much appreciated and we even got to meet the owner, who was an absolute gentleman.

Recently threw a birthday party for my husband. We went with their $60 per person package and oh man was it worth it! The staff were friendly and extremely attentive. I foolishly forgot that one of my guests was gluten free and they were quickly able to accommodate her food needs. And the food just kept on coming! Great sangria too though it was a little generic for my tastes but other than that it was an extremely special experience! Delicious food. Highly recommend.

A. Flores

Great local pub that doesn’t make you feel out of place or “foreign”. I came here on a Friday night when it was busy but the bartender was still extremely welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Drinks were extremely affordable and the facility was very clean. Plus it has MV pizza next door, which has great gluten free options. Highly recommend.
