This is by far one of the BEST Italian restaurants I have ever been to! My friends and I were visiting Asheville from Charlotte and stopped in for takeout after coming across Strada on my Find Me Gluten Free app. I have never been to an Italian restaurant that was as accommodating for dietary restrictions as Strada. Just walking in, I knew this place would be great. The staff who greeted us were extremely friendly and professional. They made us feel welcome and cared for. They went out of their way to make sure our orders were correct. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and was so excited to find out that not only do they offer gluten free pasta, but they offer rice-based gluten free pasta! A lot of places only offer corn-based gluten free pasta and that doesn't taste as good as rice and it's harsher on my stomach. This pasta tasted amazing! The gluten free pasta didn't even cost much extra which was AMAZING because I went to another restaurant in Asheville that charged me an additional $5 just for a side of carrots as I couldn't eat any of their other sides. Strada also has a lovely set up with a gorgeous bar and lounge area. The next time I am in Asheville, I definitely want to eat here!

We were told to visit Old Europe Pastries because they have gluten-free options. Indeed, they do! The carrot cake is outstanding. We also got what I'll call a lemon bundt cake (which I can't remember the exact name, sorry), which was excellent. We'll definitely go back!
This locally loved spot shines with its comforting, flavorful dishes and a fun, lively atmosphere that makes every visit a treat!

Every single time we come to Asheville, I eat the Chicken and waffles at Early Girl. It's phenomenal. (and Celiac safe!) They have tons of other options, too. Laid back casual diner with delicious, unique brunch fare. Worth the wait, if you catch it during the busy season!
Get ready for a bustling vibe, massive biscuits, a fun jam bar, and a unique ambiance that makes every visit an adventure!

Y'all are really blessed to have such great food. I had a biscuit with fried chicken gravy, and it was simply incredible. The best biscuit and gravy I've had in... some years lol. I was also able to pick up a gluten-free/vegan biscuit for my friend, which is just lovely. If I'm ever back in town, I'll be stopping by again :)
With a lively atmosphere, plenty of seating, and a menu that caters to various diets, this spot is a downtown favorite worth checking out!

We had salads and pizzas delivered for our large group one night. They were fast and efficient. Salads were fresh and delicious (Greek salad). The pizzas satisfied our cravings and went perfectly with the wine we had at home. Solid crust and ingredients. We had a guest that was gluten free and she was able to pick her option and enjoy a great pizza alongside everybody.
This vibrant local spot offers a lively atmosphere, exceptional service, and impressively accommodating dining options for diverse needs.

Great spot if you’re gluten free! We ordered take out and when I talked to them on the phone about celiac they were very knowledgeable and accommodating! Lots of options!
I had a gluten free grilled chicken sandwich and a house salad. The gf bun was great and the grilled chicken was also very good! My (gluten eating) boyfriend got the cheese steak sandwich and enjoyed it (he’s from Philly)
This casual spot is great for a tasty meal with fresh, local ingredients and a fun atmosphere perfect for work or friends.

I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit.
The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly.
The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place.
And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates.
Come check it out! Totally worth it.

The Biscuit French was absolutely amazing - sweet, soft, and topped with homemade whipped cream. Best meal we had in Asheville (actually by a long shot).

We had a great dinner at Addissae tonight. We ordered the vegetarian platter for two and everything was delicious. The staff were gracious and we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner after dinner. I was really pleased to learn their injeera was gluten-free, as well, since many restaurants use wheat blends. We’ll be back often!

We stopped in for an early dinner tonight. It was our first time at Nine Mile and needless to say, it was amazing. We brought some family from out of town, some with dietary restrictions, and they had plenty of options for gluten free/dairy free meals. I had the Kingston 12 (not pictured) and would highly recommend it! We will definitely be back!

We chose this restaurant because of it being entirely gluten-free and because they took reservations, however, our reservation was forgotten but we were seated in about 15 minutes. However, after ordering (with no help from waitress) we waited an hour and 15 minutes for our food. We almost walked out because that wait time is unheard of, especially when we saw so many people served ahead of us.

Sunny Point Cafe, located at 626 Haywood Road in West Asheville, North Carolina, has been a beloved establishment since its opening in 2003. Known for its farm-to-table approach, the cafe offers a diverse menu that caters to a wide range of dietary preferences, including vegan and gluten-sensitive options. The on-site garden adjacent to the dining area supplies fresh ingredients, ensuring that each dish is both flavorful and sustainable.
The cafe's ambiance reflects Asheville's eclectic and welcoming spirit. With its hippie-chic decor and colorful chalkboard specials, Sunny Point creates a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere. The staff is frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, contributing to a dining experience that feels both personal and enjoyable.
Sunny Point Cafe's menu features several standout dishes that have garnered both local and national acclaim. The Huevos Rancheros, a signature breakfast item, consists of two eggs, black bean cakes, chorizo (or tofu chorizo), feta cheese, potatoes, and green salsa, topped with cilantro crema and freshly made tortilla chips. This dish was voted #2 in the nation by Good Morning America.
Another favorite is the Shrimp and Grits, an award-winning house special that combines chipotle cheddar grits with blackened shrimp, bacon, roasted tomatoes, and a white wine Dijon cream sauce. The dish is noted for its rich, smoky flavor and the unique kick provided by the chipotle grits.
For those seeking a hearty meal, the Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwich is a popular choice. This dish features a sweet potato waffle paired with a fried chicken thigh, pimento cheese, bacon, and jalapeño jam, offering a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Honestly, if you don't need gluten free then the food tastes good. But gluten sensitive and celiac please stay away. I got gluten and so so sick. The dish I had ordered was naturally "gluten free" and dairy free. Marked on the menu. The waitress seemed to acknowledge and act like they would be careful. Unfortunately, cross contamination happens here.

We love this pizza place! I always do the build your own pizzas, and every combination I've tried has been delicious. Great for those on a special diet too – their website is really detailed on all allergen info for all toppings and they are very careful about handling gluten-free pizzas. I usually order ahead on their app to save time.

Pizza was mediocre. The gluten free that everyone was raving about was very standard, and was 13” not 14”. My partner had the regular 14” pizza and the visual comparison was pretty sad. I was hopeful for this place but it let us both down.

MOD pizza is easily one of the best custom pizza places around. I got to a point I was paying for thicker crust at places like Blaze Pizza but I absolutely love the thin crust at MOD because they don't burn it and the taste is amazing. A variety of topping choices and gluten-free options as well!

This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I had a misunderstanding with the waiter, but the way they handled it was beyond unacceptable. I specifically mentioned that I’m gluten-free, but they still brought me soup with gluten noodles. I assumed they would substitute it with rice noodles, as that’s a common practice in most decent restaurants.
When the soup arrived, I politely informed the waiter that I couldn’t eat gluten and wouldn’t eat the soup, as I hadn’t even touched it. I asked for a replacement, but instead of accommodating my dietary restriction, the waiter rudely responded, “That’s your problem, you have to pay for the soup,” and then walked away without offering any solutions.
The service was absolutely horrendous. They didn’t care about my dietary needs or the mistake they made. The staff here clearly doesn’t care about their customers at all. If you have any dietary restrictions, be prepared to be treated like it’s your fault. You’ll be forced to pay for food you can’t eat, and they’ll just shrug and tell you it’s not their problem before walking away.
I will NEVER come back to this restaurant again. Avoid this place at all costs if you value basic respect and decent service.

Love love LOVE Gemelli! They have SO MANY gluten free, vegan options!! Even GF chicken parmesan! Are you kidding me!??? Oh and my friend died and went to Canolli heaven! GET THE CANOLLI! This restaurant is hidden away in the West Asheville shopping plaza next to Earthfare (Westgate) so it's not right downtown (although it could hold its own downtown)
I highly recommend this chill airy laid back bright and shiny spot! It is the perfect place to bring visiting friends and family for brunch, late lunch whatever. Oh and they have a beautiful full bar!!

Best salmon I've eaten in a decade! How do you do what you do? I'm a 35+ year local, and from day one onward, the food is always excellent! I was so delighted by the many gluten free entree options, and the best treat was the *gluten-free* fried green tomatoes (which my husband and cousin always order everywhere we go, but I am unable to enjoy, myself) I had 2 all for myself since I never get to have any, and everyone agreed the were the best they'd had, anywhere!

I’ve been coming here for the gluten free donuts for a few years. This morning I ordered a decaf coffee drink to go with them. I didn’t notice on the menu it said 4oz which was the size of a shot glass. That is my fault for not noticing it and it actually made me laugh when it came out. I was going to learn my lesson and drink this tiny drink. However, after trying it the decaf was burnt and gross. Instead of asking her to remake it, I asked for half a cup of steamed milk to combine it with to cancel out the burnt flavor and make it bigger. The barista was rude and told me she’d have to charge me for the milk, which I pushed back on. Eventually she gave me the milk but her anger while making it made me uncomfortable and upset. Most places would offer to make a new drink for you, not fight you over 1/2 cup of steamed milk. Normally, the staff here has been nice so maybe it was an off day but it makes me want to stick to just donuts next time.
This popular spot serves up hearty Italian dishes with generous portions, ensuring a lively atmosphere and a wait worth experiencing.
