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!

Had a wonderful brunch at Chestnut! The pimento cheese tater tots were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fried green tomatoes! All gluten-free items are noted on the menu. The servers are very helpful if you have any questions!

Such an awesome place for breakfast or lunch! Great food, cute place, and friendly service. They have vegan and gluten free options and are able to answer questions about ingredients. I had the Running Man with gluten free wrap and an iced chai with almond milk - both were super yummy!

I bought a gluten free peach pie that was recommended to me by the staff, and it was tasteless and disappointing to serve to my guests.

Best beef burger flavor wise I’ve had in avl. I am a fan of another top burger joint Juicy Lucy’s, but honestly I’d rather come here. Food is fresh, hot, and flavorful. They have gluten free options that amazed me-still wish they wouldn’t charge for a change of bun, however you can get it lettuce wrapped for free.

This is my go-to place in Asheville! Everything is gluten-free, which is amazing. I initially came for the tea, but ended up staying for the delicious food. The atmosphere is incredibly fun, you simply can't visit Asheville without stopping by!
