Came for everything gluten free and left completely stuffed and happy! The provolone wheel is incredible and the smash burger is picturesque and delicious. Collin took such AMAZING care of us, thank you!

I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone with allergies. My best friend has severe gluten and mushroom allergies, so we were excited to try this fully gluten-free spot. We informed the waitress about her allergies, but it became clear they were not taken seriously. After eating tortilla chips, we were later told the fryer was used for mushrooms—a major cross-contamination issue. The situation escalated as we anxiously waited to see if an epi-pen or ambulance was necessary. The waitress apologized, but the manager hovered awkwardly, making excuses instead of giving us space to handle the situation. Their poor handling of a life-threatening allergy made an already frightening experience worse. If you have food allergies, avoid this place.

We went here with the kids! We had way too much fun! Great gluten free options!

Food, service and atmosphere were all great and my celiac daughter was well taken care of. I'm giving 3 stars because we went on mother's day and they were taking reservations. But the online wait-list nor anywhere else online that we saw said so. So we joined the wait-list which said 10-20 min but it was really 45min. They really needed to take the wait-list offline and post they are taken reservations for that day. Edit: Thanks for the response, good to see you pay attention to customer feedback, I gave you another star for the followup.

I have celiac disease, and went here for dinner. The staff is well trained, and they offer a gluten free menu. They have a dedicated fryer for fries and have gluten free buns available. I highly recommend this place and it’s absolutely delicious!! I didn’t feel sick at all afterwards, which is such a relief when traveling.

Riley Nolan

My server Jake and Katie were the absolute BEST. Jake gave us his best wine and food pairings and made special accommodations for my gluten allergy! They were so personable and helpful they made my experience here one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. 12/10 WOULD recommend.

Arah Katz

We had Mike and he was fabulous! He was very familiar with gluten-free options, gave us opinions on “fan favorites”. He was soooooo good…fast, attentive and gave great recommendations!!

Kathleen Fulton

The service, food, and atmosphere were 5 stars. They were very accommodating to gluten free dining. The steak was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed Creme brûlée for dessert and my husband and I fought over the last bite. Eddie V’s is a must for a fine dining experience!

Brigid Kennedy

Excellent meal and vibe! Would recommend. Great gluten-free accommodation.

Antony Kellerman

I had a delicious dinner with a wide variety of gluten-free options. I really enjoyed the cheese plate with gluten-free bread, as well as the Brussels sprouts appetizer and the burger on gluten-free toast.

Amy McKee

This place has a unique atmosphere that was perfect for our date night. Comfy chairs, great wine and wonderful food. We had the eggplant which was very good and the pistachio pizza (made gluten free) and it was so good we decide to try another one of their pizzas while we were there. You'll want to make a reservation as the place isn't very large. We actually ended up leaving and coming back later with a reservation but the staff was great and 5 stars to the chef!

Pittsburgh friends turned us on to Paris 66 Bistro while visiting, and the four of us went for dinner. And it's a gem. The food was excellent. There were accommodations for my husband's gluten allergy. There's something for nearly everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options or adaptations. (There will likely be off-menu specials, too.) We enjoyed a full dinner, appetizers, wine, and dessert. Meal prices align with better restaurants with items at various price points. We received full attention from our servers without it feeling overbearing. The atmosphere is lovely. We felt like we were in France and even got to practice a little French with the owner, who is French (though French isn't needed). There is a parking garage near, beside/behind the restaurant, and street parking. As a closing note, we're a gay couple who felt welcome. I highly recommend considering Paris 66 Bistro.

Megan McGee

This is the first time we’ve come without the entire family, and it was just as perfect! I noted on our reservations that it was our anniversary, and it was so sweet to get a Happy Anniversary greeting when we checked in! Plus, we got a glass of Prosecco with our meal! I’m always impressed at the knowledge of the service since I have Celiac’s—it’s always above and beyond letting me know what I can’t have due to gluten. I always feel safe coming here knowing that I won’t be cross-contaminated! As always, a delicious and accessible meal for someone who usually has to worry about going out to eat—thanks so much!

Calvin Moore

I had a nice experience. I was seated in a nice lounge area with a fireplace. The music added to the atmosphere. The server was attentive and offered a dish suggestion from the menu. Spinich Ceaser Salad at Spirits & Tales was very good. The chicken I added for protein was flavorful and not overdone. I took a slice of tomato with each bite of spinich. That added a nice sweetness to the yogurt ceaser dressing. It's also gluten free. I'll be back.

Trisha McDine

Excellent place to eat and get a drink and hang out with friends. Family friendly, food for all people, vegan gluten free or standard food. A lot of seating also seating outside in tents with lights and warmers inside. Hostess was fantastic, very clean. We were there around 6 45 and stayed until just after 9. Nice part of town took an Uber there and back to save on parking. Not your typical bar type atmosphere. Cant wait to go again. Had a great time. Highly recommend the artichoke and pita dip!

Adam Pethia

Incredible place to eat downtown and worth the drive if you’re not close. Everything we’ve ever tried here is always top notch. They even have gluten-free options. It’s probably our favorite Japanese spot and ramen spot in the greater Pittsburgh area. I also love how quickly the food is ready if you order to-go. Highly recommend getting reservations if you go on a weekday during the business lunch rush, it gets slammed.

Emily Good

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. Service was a bit slow but they seemed understaffed or overwhelmed so understandable. All of our dishes were great, fish and chips, fish tacos with sweet potato fries and a burger with a gluten free bun and mashed potatoes. We also had the shrimp and crab dip which was good as well. Clean restaurant, comfy seating, enjoyed our first time in.

Sara Lockhart

Told waitress I had a gluten allergy. She assured me that it would be taken seriously since two managers were gluten free. They do not have a gluten free menu but said they can make anything into gluten free. I get sketched out when restaurants say that because chances are, they don’t take it seriously. I ordered a burger with gluten free bun and side salad. They brought the plate out with my gluten free bun and a side salad with croutons…. I had to send it back. It came out again almost immediately (within 3 minutes) with a new salad but clearly the same burger. I have celiac. Anything that touches gluten can send me to the hospital. The chicken wing appetizer was nasty. Grill on one side of the wing, they were rubbery and chewy with a squirt of buffalo sauce that didn’t even cover the wings. $60 out the window.

Christina Blough

Great food, with many gluten free options like their pasta, sandwiches, and pizza!

Shawnice Street

There isn't much to select from on the menu with a person who suffers from celiac disease. Other than than that the atmosphere is nice, clean, and pleasant.

Michael Purcell

Excellent food. Have tried half the menu (the gluten free options only), and everything was delicious! Went back for dinner 2 nights in a row it was so good. And the waitstaff were wonderful - patient and attentive. Food was brought out as soon as it was ready. Will definitely go back next time I come to town.

Zachary Davis

This place is lit. The vibe, atmosphere, music, drinks, food. It's not as loud as other bars, makes for a great social lounge. They have a kitchen serving up tons of veg snacks, and their Hummus board can be made gluten free!

Bobby Simon

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Bone marrow is always a must and they even offered a gluten free option for the bread. Highly recommend to anyone in town. Definitely make reservations in advance

Chrissy Mills

Delicious quality coffee, usually gluten/dairy free options for munchies, and good vibes.
