Bella Holt

The deserts are so good I definitely recommend

Angela Walczyk

The entire menu with the exception of one or two breakfast items, is GF!

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Sarah Cichon

Love this place to enjoy quality food with my celiac daughter.

Bob

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Melina Lee

They make the best gluten free and vegan breads. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and should definitely be eaten as soon as you can while it’s still warm

Elizabeth Holland

I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a judge on Master Chef, in return I’d accepted that I’d never have an experience where you bite into a dish and get to be absolutely astounded by all the flavors and profiles that come along with it… until I ate at Colita! We had the Pate and it was nothing short of remarkable! The staff was top tier, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting! I’m completely gluten free and could order anything on the menu! We had the best time! Thank you for hosting us and giving us an exceptional experience start to finish! 💕

Molly Vielhauer

almost the entire menu can be modified to gluten free!

Chad Stutelberg

Food is always great and service is fantastic. We had vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free people in our group and the waitress knew all of the dishes and ingredients and was able to create plates that worked for everyone.

Yixiu Chen (Christina)

Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Michelle Nasvik

Chimborazo continues to be one of my favorite go to restaurants in the cities! Their food is delicious, with unique flavors and just phenomenal Ecuadorian cuisine. I dream about the mahi mahi encocado and ceviche 🤤 I especially appreciate that they have so many options for someone who is gluten free and lots of good pescatarian options too! Their service is always fast and they’re always incredibly kind! Highly recommend.

Gwyn K

Amazing! Yes the food is unique but that’s what makes this place so special. I always find it fascinating when people go to a place that actively advertises as no refined sugars or processed foods and then complain that it doesn’t taste like the rest of the junk they eat. There were many vegetarian options and as a person with celiac disease this place was perfect. I ate so much but felt good after since nothing was processed or junk. My only suggestion is that if you can’t go in with an open mind maybe just don’t go.

Mika Baer

The menu is rooted in Southern and Caribbean-inspired flavors, and everything is made with care. My personal go-to is the pulled chicken, which is juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with the creamed jalapeño spinach - a side dish so unexpectedly addictive that I now find myself ordering it every time, no matter what else I get. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a laid-back counter-service setup that somehow still manages to feel intentional and warm. It’s the kind of place where regulars bring newcomers, knowing the food will speak for itself. Other favorites include the slow-roasted pork, collard greens, and desserts. They are all flavorful, filling, and made to be mixed, matched, and shared. The portions are generous, and there are great options for gluten-free and dairy-free diners, too. Brasa doesn’t try to be trendy or overcomplicated. It focuses on doing comfort food right. With quality ingredients, bold flavor, and heart, if you’re looking for a meal that hits all the right notes without trying too hard, this is it. @foodiemsp on Instagram

Found about this place in the gluten free places app, we loved the good, the ambiance and the service. Will definitely come back if we are around

Scott Brown

Definitely some of the best pho I’ve had in Minneapolis. I ordered the chicken pho last time and it was phenomenal. Their broth is top tier. It can be hard to communicate needing a fork for us chopstick-challenged people, especially if it’s busy, but eventually you will get one. The food comes out pretty fast though! Weekends can be super busy, but it’s mellow during the week at lunch time. Another perk is it’s not very expensive, which is really nice. And MOST of their pho is gluten free, which is a need for me. 😊

Liz Palo

Celiac!

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.

Natasha Lunin

Excellent gluten free, vegan and vegetarian pizzas. While staying in the South Minneapolis for a few months this place quickly became a favored eatery! Gluten free menu is huge and there are huge vegetarian sections. Try!!!!

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Nora Bengtson

The servers were knowledge and incredibly helpful. Most of the menu can be made gluten free!

LaShay Oglesby

Gluten Free pizza fixed my way always a win☺️

Aurora Pass

Great ice cream and vegan/gluten free option. Be aware they always play their music really loud and that can be a little overwhelming.

Abigael Ensor

Very GLUTEN-FREE/ DAIRY-FREE friendly! I visited September 7th after work and enjoyed the happy hour menu. Everything was as beautiful as it was scrumptious! I had sushi and the fried chicken and hot sake. I also ordered 1 serving of Uni. It was the perfect after-work treat! I highly recommend this gem. The server/bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and a cheery, helpful attitude. I will 100% be back as often as I can. Nice portions, delicious sushi!

Mahesh

This is one of the best and most authentic pizza places I have been to. I loved the amount of variety they had for vegetarians and on top of that for vegan and gluten free options. Every single item on the pizza tasted very fresh and melted in the mouth. The server recommended us a local beer and it was amazing as well. Overall a great dining experience after our visit to the nearby Minnehaha Falls. Will surely visit again and wish they had more outlets outside MIneapolis.

Soft serve is not special unless you’re vegan and gluten free. Terrible place to work unless it’s your first job

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

Paul McLagan

Before Curry in a Hurry, I loved going to Gandhi Mahal. When its location was lost in 2020, I was happy they set up this location and go as much as I can. It is my favorite "Indian" food restaurant. (The owners are Bangladeshi so it is technically more Bangladeshi fare). Indian food is usually good in regards to having great gluten free options and Curry in a Hurry is no different. In some ways I like the location and sitting outside during the summer to eat food. I typically eat their Chicken Tika Masala but I have eaten their Chicken Vindaloo. Beware though with the Chicken Vindaloo. I consider myself to have a very high tolerance for hot food, but that Chicken Vindaloo has to be the most punishing spicy food I have ever had in the Twin Cities.

Lynn Sweet

GF options are not marked on the menu but the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. They have a GF fryer!

Kayla Hollatz

What a unique date night spot! We had never experienced fondue before, so it helped that our server Courtney was so friendly and knowledgeable. Since I eat gluten-free and dairy-free, I thought I'd have to forgo half of the meal, but The Melting Pot came through with vegan cheese, GF dippers, and vegan chocolate. My husband loved the vegan cheese even more than his real cheese dip, which is saying something! It's rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond to meet your dietary needs. The only reason for the four star is because the environment was really loud and overstimulating. We were seated next to the kitchen, so that contributed to some of it, but the couple booths have tabletops that are so small that you can barely fit all of the dippers and dishes and beyond. The food was great, but the atmosphere was a bit chaotic. If you want to go for the experience and food, it's amazing, but if you want to have an in-depth chat or cozy evening, this might not be the fit.

Charley Alden

Such a great place to safely eat gluten free 😋

Savannah Tracy

Go to spot when I want to get something gluten free that I know is celiac safe

Taylor Moone

Chili with gluten free cornbread is heavenly. Being from the south, it’s hard to find good cornbread. Reminded me of my granny’s. Also, best gluten free brownie I have had in my life. I was full ages ago, but scarfed everything down. I will be back!

Cameron Clarke

One of my favorite places. Lots of gluten free options. I just wish they had a cornbread gf option! Come early if you want to get the smothered chicken, sometimes they sell out.

Justine Misch

Great overall experience. Liked the gluten free wings and drinks. Good service and atmosphere.

L G

This place is very delicious and has a great tasting gluten-free menu. They source their ingredients locally and have a great wine selection. Their curries were delicious and o just cant do Indian without a lassi which was divine. Highly recommend.

megan lauer

Yummy food, gluten free and vegan options and very delicious. You will not regret going there !Free Parking in the back

Nick Koons

Great Hmong Southeast Asian food at Graze! I’m so glad I tried this place. It mixes some familiar and some more unique flavors. I got the grilled tofu plate with kow soi noddles and sticky rice. Overall, super delicious and flavorful, and I love that it’s vegan! The veggies and herbs really made the dish fresh and tasty. I also got a strawberry guava juice, which was very good. I would definitely come back here. Lots of options including vegan and gluten free. Service was fast and very friendly.

Cindy Vachon

Excellent labeling and awareness. I’ve never had a bad reaction to anything here. And it’s delicious!

Diane Afrooz

I love this place, and their sister restaurant next door. Everything here is delicious. And the outdoor patio is large, and first come first serve. I see lots of dates happening here, and lots of dogs on the patio. Parking can get congested during peak times, so plan accordingly. Gluten Free options!!

Abigail Trnka

Wow! I got the spicy raw wrap and the glow green smoothie and my soul was refreshed. I have a gluten allergy and so it’s hard to find wraps that are gluten free! I was so happy to find this. Amazing. Just the right amount of spice!

Neriah Harris

Love this place! Having a safe place to eat as a celiac who needs gluten free to the extreme to not get sick, it's amazing!

Molly Vielhauer

one of the best gluten free wraps i’ve ever had. highly recommend

Daniel Gerland

Most attractive food I've seen and tasted in ages! The atmosphere was a bit rustic and loud but the food was so incredible and well put together that I didn't mind the noise from the other tables! Tap beers, elevated cuisine, fantastic (and huge) shakes, vegan and gluten-free options! The whole package. In warmer weather they seem to have a really nice outdoor seating area and seems dog friendly. Highly recommend!
