Satisfies my cravings as someone with celiac

Ellen Moncure

I have celiac disease and it's had to find good gluten free food. Their sandwiches are awesome and their pizzas are too!

We are ecstatic with our wedding cake from PS&Co - thank you for making our dreams come to life! From the very beginning, their communication was prompt, professional, and incredibly warm. Every question we had was answered quickly, and they made the entire process feel effortless. We had a tasting cupcake box to choose the flavors and then sent inspiration examples of our designs to the team - then they sent us a sketch with all of the details. The cake itself was truly a masterpiece—both visually stunning and absolutely delicious. It’s rare to find a bakery that excels with artistry and flavor, especially with dietary restrictions like gluten-free and vegan, but PS&Co exceeded all of our expectations. The cake looked exactly like what we envisioned. Our guests were very impressed by the taste and the flavors were delicious. The level of craftsmanship that went into the design was breathtaking—it was everything we envisioned and more. We’re so grateful to have had such a talented team be part of our special day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cake that’s as beautiful as it is delicious, and can accommodate a variety of dietary needs.

My absolute favorite restaurant! The most delicious food, the safest for people with celiac, the kindest staff, the best vibes, most amazing happy hour! I couldn’t recommend a place more!

Sheryl Murphy

Cool atmosphere. Great gluten free pizza and the brussel sprout salad is tasty.

Alexander Davin

Excellent cheesesteaks with gluten free buns, and GF beer available! Love it!

R Adler

Best restaurant experience I have had in so long. Delicious food, chill atmosphere and kind/accommodating waitstaff. I’m celiac and I felt taken care of and didn’t get sick after the meal. It’s been a week and I’m still thinking about the Dry-fried Spicy Steak Slices Seasoned With Cumin and all the other amazing dishes we had. I cannot wait to go back next time I visit Philly <3

Emily Kerl

hallie was amazing - we are fully gluten free and she was so accommodating and confident in the menu.

Schuyler Nesmith

Can't go wrong with this selection, they're nachos de La casa is off the hook. My wife has celiacs and most items on the menu can be made gluten free.

Sourav Das

We had an amazing breakfast at Parc on Valentine’s Day. This is a beautiful, old-school spot with a fancy vibe, perfect for a special occasion. The service was outstanding. Quite attentive and friendly and made the morning feel even more special. They have plenty of gluten-free options, which was a nice touch. I have to say, the omelette I had was the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, cheesy and full of flavor. While some items are a bit on the pricey side, I truly think it was worth it for the quality of the food and the experience. The bread basket was exceptional. The onion soup really lived up to the expectations and had the perfect bread dipped beneath the cheese coating on top (yes, a ton of cheese and calories haha). Everything was just so delicious. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great meal in a classic setting!

Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

Danielle Masursky

My daughter and I loved everything about this restaurant. The service was terrific. The tables had beautiful, colorful coverings. The food was amazing and almost everything is gluten free! I had an arepa with chicken salad, it comes topped with creamy shredded gouda. She had the chicken empanadas, which were crispy and delicious. I can't wait to return and try more dishes.

Joseph Alter

Mexican food with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which was awesome. Food was excellent, as was the service. It’s loud but didn’t bother us.

Melissa Goyette

Cocktails were great, food was sublime. I was shocked to learn the whole dinner menu is gluten free! Vegan/veggie options were so easy too.

Addyson Burch

Amazing food, outstanding gluten free pizza, service is great we always request Nick he and everyone else is so insanely friendly. We go here every time we are in the city and for a good reason. 10/10 would recommend.

Lindsay D

very knowledgeable and accommodating for celiac!

Bernadette Thomas

Quaint little restaurant bar atmosphere. The menu is awesome, but very few options for a celiac gal like myself. The curry deviled eggs were amazing. Gluten is a whole vibe there, so those who can, enjoy!

Subha Airan-Javia

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

Christina

Delicious breakfast sandwiches in a fast casual atmosphere. The eggs were fluffy and our sandwiches were ready quickly. Gluten free bread is available for a few extra dollars.

Jennifer Amodei

Great service. Delicious food. Enchiladas and plantains are my go to. Also gluten free for my celiac girlfriend!

Donna Matlock

Nicole Iacovoni

Food is mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. $20 for TWO scallops. Salads were bland. Service was slow and food wasn’t served as the menu described. The ambiance is weird…it’s like this restaurant can’t decide who they want to be. One section is rustic, another contemporary, another modern farmhouse style, and last but not least, the kitchen area looks like a 1950’s diner. They up charge for everything. If you have a gluten allergy and ask for gluten free bread, be prepared to pay an extra $3 (even though regular bread is complimentary).

I am a new lover of Veda! After coming here with a friend over the weekend I decided to return for lunch this week. I was so happy to find out they had specials for restaurant week! The fish pakora was so good I literally wrote home to mom about it! As someone with dietary restrictions finding a place to eat can be hard, but Veda has loads of clearly labeled gluten free options. Their fish is sumptuous and flavorful. I also got the fish moylee and the sauce was so good I could swim in it! I totally enjoyed everything I had. Everything tasted very fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Apart from the food the service was wonderful. My waiter was kind and attentive at every point throughout my meal. It’s great when food tastes good and even better when service stands out. My waiter, Khemraj, was so kind and helpful I will make it a point to stop by again sometime this week when he is working. Do yourself a favor a stop by Veda. Whether you’re by yourself, on a date, or with a friend- you’ll be glad you did!

Catherine D’Ambrosio

So delicious! I have a burger on a GF bun and fries from their dedicated fryer. The server was gluten free herself and was SO helpful. I can’t wait to go back!

gianna maglio

Our server Aidys was excellent! Really made our first time here spectacular! I have a gluten allergy and he was so knowledgeable and patient with my questions. Employee of the month for Aidys! And obviously the food was delicious!

Haley Scott

My husband and I decided to come here yesterday for a last minute night out and we have 2 complaints - 1. The menu on their website reads as if they have gluten free pasta and pizza options because both sections are not marked with the “cannot be made GF” asterisk. I am gluten free so this was a let down. I definitely recommend management update the website to be more clear. 2. Our cocktails were bad. We each had one of the signature cocktails and felt like they were unusually sweet. We then got 2 dirty martinis and they were very bad. We had asked the waitress if they were served in chilled glasses and she said yes but that was not true. The martinis we received were warm and not dirty. Could barely drink them. Our food was tasty and the service was good so I hope next time is better on the cocktail front!

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own nationwide business clients, for travel inspiration! I’m a financial planner -CFP®️practitioner- with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare) This cafe is located right across the street from the Eastern State Penitentiary. Stop in! It’s terrific! First, it’s a big place, with a great vibe and friendly people. It was well organized and clean. Also, it had lots of choices for good preferences and allergies. I’m gluten free and dairy free and had many choices here. They have drinks and food. I can vouch for the oat milk latte. This an LGBTQ friendly place, as evidenced by their signage and gender neutral bathrooms. I saw a lot of diversity in patrons: families, students, seniors and couples. Lots of tourists and locals alike. Price were fair and accessibility was available. Parking is a bit harder in this area but you can find street parking with some patience. Worth the time to visit!

Amy Beliveau

Everything was so delicious 😋. They are very accommodating to food allergies like gluten and dairy. Very attentive staff. Highly recommend.

JoAnn Steinly

Everyone was wonderful! Our waitress asked the chef if he could make a meal I wanted gluten free, and they did! It was amazing! Both my husband and I had wonderful time!

Halley Kenney

Great gluten free options for salad, sides, and sweets. The butterscotch pudding was amazing. Perfect for grabbing a quick lunch while in the office.

Linda CB

A wide variety of food from Latin countries. However, I didn't see anything that reflected true Puerto Rican options. That was a disappointment. They have a few gluten free options and only one option for brunch. I'm not a fan of chipotle and wasn't in the mood for nachos for breakfast I just had rice and beans which were like warm not hot. It was almost cold. A huge turn off. I tried the yucca bowl that was good but had more cheese than yucca. The yucca fries were good but lacked a distinct flavor. I would have liked some adobo to give it more taste. Service was great. The environment is nice especially if you can eat outside. I will go back to try other things in the future and specify to warm the food.

Kelsie A

Dedicated fryer. Very gf friendly

Kathryn Fox

We loved the vegan and gluten free options. Some items we didn't enjoy personally, but over all it waa good and a great experience. The canoli and the banana pudding were incredible. We are considering going back for the canoli.

Maria Laurenti

An amazing spot for gluten free AND gluten eaters! Get the cheese curds - you’ll thank me later!

Sean Callan

Thank god for Nipotina! Ive been searching for a proper gluten free roll for a cheesesteak for some time now. Having Celiac can make finding sandwiches hard but this place makes it easy. They even have gluten free cutlets and a dedicated fryer for certain apps. Would recommend! Cant speak to the atmosphere of the place, got delivery!

Bri C

Some of the most flavorful chicken tacos I’ve ever had! Plenty of gluten free options on the menu

Linda Ferro

Beatrice was fabulous! Highly recommend & my GF pizza was great & Celiac Safe’!! Thank you!

Kelly Ahrens

This place is just soo good! I have a gluten allergy and can easily get a yummy lunch here without any worry. The Kale Caesar, charred broccoli and chicken thighs are to die for!

Darren Burton

I’ve heard a lot of great things about Middle Child from random Social Media posts and decided to stop bye to see what the rave was about. When I walked in, it was SUPER PACKED and after trying it myself, I can see why. During my visit I tried the Strawberry Milk Matcha, Pastrami, Egg, & Cheese, and “Olivia’s Big Pancake” and long story short, it was all delicious. Although it was very packed, the staff still made sure that I was comfortable and it was very clean. One of the things that stood out to me the most was an employee named Jason. He was the person who placed my order at the register and he was very kind and informative. Another note I’d like to add is that the Menu is very easy to read and even has color coding on items that were vegetarian friendly and have the option to be gluten free. I’d give them 10/10 stars but I can only give 5 haha.

Excellent food, including Gluten-free curry (surprisely rare option at Thai restaurants). Great server.

Abby Mueller

Loved it!! Everything we ordered was amazing especially the steak lamb small plate and the steak frites! Service was great and almost everything could be made gluten free.

During our recent visit to Pennsylvania, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic spot that truly exceeded expectations. For a very reasonable price of $59, we enjoyed a delicious spread, including tacos with a side of chili, two burgers with fries, tea, and two waters. One of the standout features was that everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was a huge plus for us. The buns on the burgers were especially delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere was just right—not too loud or crowded—creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. A nice touch is the digital payment option on the receipt, where you can easily pay and leave a tip with a code. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in the area. If you’re in PA and craving some great food in a comfortable setting, this place is highly recommended! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful dinner at Via Locusta. We brought our toddler and baby with us and the staff were so accommodating. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate my mom, who is gluten intolerant and vegetarian. We appreciated being able to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food here.

Sean Callan

Only got take out, but a great gluten-free bagel and very knowledgable about Celiac DIsease. They have an entirely separate toaster for gluten free bagels!

I recently visited this beautiful restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is vibrant and artsy, with eye-catching art pieces and creative chalk art that give the space a unique, welcoming vibe. They offer a great variety of food and drinks, including thoughtful vegan and gluten-free options, which was a big plus. Despite how quickly the place fills up, the service is impressively efficient. We were seated almost immediately, and the food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The portions were generous, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. For two people, including drinks and food, the total came to just \$58 with tip—which felt like a great value for the quality and experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Andrew Biss

Amazing restaurant with gluten free options. The cocktails were delicious, and the atmosphere was unbeatable. I would recommend a reservation if you plan to go. If it is a date night for 2, going forward I would have split the salad with my fiance, but we each got our own and it was delicious. We will be back again in the summer to see that menu. Gluten free options available. Staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.

I say this was disappointment and want to preface I love the food here and always look forward to visiting, but the last 4 times I’ve visited I’ve had issues every time. The last time I’ve visited, again a lot of things they didn’t have, but the thing I did order (the waffles) I never actually got. I waited over 30 minutes and was given no update. The person I was with got their food within 15 minutes. I was looked at now and then (avoided weirdly enough) as I waited but no one told me anything. I go up and ask if there is any rough idea when my food would be ready when I’m told the oven for the waffles wasn’t working. Again, had I been told from the beginning this wouldn’t have been as big of an issue. So I ended up just canceling the order because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for my food. The results of my past visits have me not wanting to visit for a while, unsure if or when I’d go back. :( The first time they didn’t have the oat milk ice cream and other ingredients (multiple). No big deal, I just wish there was some note or posting somewhere to let me know ahead of time. Every time over the last 4 visits they didn’t have any gluten free bread or gluten free bagels. Now as someone who is allergic to gluten, my options for food were cut to a very small selection. Again, please post it somewhere so I know to wait to come back until I can actually order the foods I have visited to get.
