Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Somerville

Mark Dipsey

Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing

Great spot--especially for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, Jain, gluten free all have tons of fantastic options). Very authentic food, cooked fresh from real ingredients. The Spring Dosa is a go-to for us, and the paneer Tikka masala is decadent for a cold day. Most things on the menu have a low but noticable level of spiciness (and some things are truly hot)--and not just on the Boston scale for heat.

This extraordinary piece of Venezuela attracts a beautifully diverse demographic while tucked away in the heart of Somerville, Massachusetts, within the entertaining Aeronaut Brewery. The lovely and talented owner, Carolina, prepares the most authentic Venezuelan cuisine you will find. Succulent and savory, decadent and delicious are only a few words that describe the menu here. She also offers gluten free, vegan, and meat lover options. The chefs are charming and delightful preparing tasty treats while the crowd laughs over an amusing game of trivia. Apex highly recommends stopping in and trying a renowned rice bowl, enticing arepas, and tempting táquenos! This is time and money well spent!

I think we caught them on an off day. While the place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly, I just didn’t meet expectations. We went for bottomless Sunday brunch during what was supposed to be a special “Dia de Los Muertos festivities” week. They did have a beautiful ofrenda at the entrance. Other than that, all we got was a 50 min wait for food to come out. Some small plates we ordered never came, others were missing ingredients/toppings, one we started eating, no one checked if we needed more drinks. Now they did ask about and accommodate a gluten allergy. I greatly appreciate that. Would have been even better if it was marked on the menu. All in all, the people were nice and the food was very good, but on this day, when it wasn’t packed, we waited a long time for nothing all that special.

Really friendly staff, great pizza, amazing gluten free pizza and fun place overall

The staff is very knowledgeable about which items on the menu are gluten free. I recommend the curried goat stew, which is very nice. The staff is friendly, despite being in a busy environment on a Saturday night. The drinks are good and the drink menu has a nice variety.

Vera Backman

Service is super friendly and fast, and the vegan menu is great for dairy allergies (many gluten free options, too!) Highly recommend the falafel -- it's green!

Julia Connor

Stopped in before a movie with my boyfriend, Stephanie was a great bartender super friendly and knowledgeable and took extra care of me with my gluten allergy. Extra points to earls in general for havin gluten free calamari!!

I can't rave enough about Spoke, nor could I possibly count the number of times I've enjoyed their incredible food, drinks, and hospitality. This is our special occasion place *and* our neighborhood place (I admit it's appropriately a little expensive, so it's slightly more on the special occasion side), and it's the place where we know we're going to regularly be blown away. We've brought friends from out of town, and each time they've marveled at the experience. On occasion there might be a dish that we might not love as much as the others, but I appreciate that the chefs are always pushing boundaries and being creative. Also, for such a thoughtful and yet small menu, there are great options for vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and vegans. (I brought a friend from London who can't eat gluten and she was in seventh heaven.) I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I love it because I want to be able to get in, but I also want them to always be around!

Gluten free bowls and tacos are awesome.

Came in around 7 pm on a Saturday night and got a table for 3 right away! It is not too fancy and I would describe it as more of an upscale casual restaurant. As a gluten free person, this restaurant has tons of options and all of the fried foods are already made naturally gf so there’s plenty of dishes to choose from. They also gave me gluten free dinner rolls when they brought the bread by! I ordered the lobster roll and had it on a gluten free bun (you can also ask for a lettuce wrap). The waitress felt like my gf lobster roll looked smaller than my brother’s regular lobster roll (even though they said they weigh out each portion), so they brought me an extra portion of lobster to make up for it! All that to say, we really enjoyed our experience at Legal Sea Foods and will definitely be back!

Love the gluten free options!

Awesome spot! Our server (Luisa?) was fantastic - very kind and attentive. The menu is marked for all different allergens and they have a separate fryer for gluten-free (the pit-spiced fries are so good!). Great vibes, great drink selection, and really good food.

I was looking for restaurants near to my house and this place came up in my search. Their gluten free bread as an option for the breakfast sandwich had me sold! Also they had some gf bakery treats. I got a large matcha latte too. Everything was delivered quickly and more importantly everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Omg I couldn’t even believe it. It’s so hard to find good gf stuff. 10/10 will order again.

I love Waikiki! Celiac-safe with gluten free labels clearly marked. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get (which is a LOT). Delicious and pleasant atmosphere.

Loved the food. Quick service Food is very tasty. They do have vegetarian and gluten free options on menu. Bento box is only lunch menu till 3pm. Paid Parking on street side or garage just around the corner.

Steve Meisner

Server was very good, except she didn't know about Celiac. Steak wasn't done right and she got it corrected quickly. She was good on drink opinions. The host was not very engaging.

Erica N

Such a great spot! The food is delicious and the staff is so hospitable. They have serval gluten free options and the servers are very knowledgeable

March 29 (Saturday), 2025. We came here for lunch to execute our previous night's unfulfilled desire/plan to eat gluten free Indian flavour pizza. And we did exactly that by ordering a gluten-free 10'' crust paneer tikka masala pizza, with extra topping of capsicum/bell pepper. I also requested the waiter to "go generous with the tikka sauce and paneer pieces" and asked her to count it as an extra topping if needed (the menu doesn't have paneer or sauce in it's list of available extra toppings). I am sure she graciously obliged as the pizza that arrived at our table was so rich in the sauce/gravy and the paneer cubes. It smelled so good, tasted even better, and is arguably the best Indian flavoured pizza I have eaten. The paneer had a good burn/char in it's edges and was still soft and moist. I guess paneer is a legitimate pizza topping option. I couldn't really distinguish the gluten-free crust, it felt normal. I would've loved it even without the (mozarella?) cheese, but then, it would've been a stretch to call it a pizza. The price was around $23 (they counted only the bell pepper as extra topping) and it was worth it, my gluten-free friend pounced on the final unclaimed slice! And I would have if he didn't!

Absolutely delicious food. Ami was very attentive and helpful. I was very grateful for clearly indicated Gluten Free options. We enjoyed the music and videos. A nice Friday night experience.

Good gluten free pizza

This cozy eatery delivers an impressive dining experience that goes well beyond expectations. The food is undeniably delicious, with a wide variety on the menu to suit different tastes and dietary needs. Daily specials add a creative twist, offering diners something new and interesting to try with each visit. Service is another highlight—friendly, attentive, and efficient, making guests feel welcomed and well cared for. The restaurant also earns points for its thoughtful inclusion of gluten-free options, catering to those with dietary restrictions without compromising on flavor or quality. However, the decor leans toward the modest side and may not appeal to those looking for a more upscale ambiance. The bathroom, while clean, is quite small, which might be a minor inconvenience for some. Additionally, the lack of decaffeinated tea is a surprising omission for an otherwise well-rounded menu. Overall, this spot is a hidden small gem for those who value great food and excellent service over flashy interiors. A must-visit for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

Ordered off the gluten free menu, got contaminated food 👌

Norman Ramsey

Ordered a hamburger with a side of jalapeno mashed potatoes. The burger looked nice, but did not taste like much. Boring enough that I did not finish. Also, the quality of the beef was not really up to medium rare. At the prices they are charging, I expect better. Potatoes were nice. Service was very friendly but not very skilled. They have gluten-free buns, which is a plus.

This place has been saving me from hunger since its food truck days. I’m gluten free so I make sure to mention it - and sometimes they will ask unprompted if I have a food allergy. My favorite item to get is the nachos without jalapeño peppers. It’s still got a nice spice to it and it is filling. They’ve also recently started offering a chocolate horchata and buzzy (aka with coffee) horchata drink that just hits the spot on a hot day. The atmosphere is chill, lots of cool stuff on the walls and always great music playing. Bathrooms available as well.

Susan McGuire

Gluten free pizza was good, although very small for the price. Our regular pizza did not have a decent amount of cheese.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Juliet for breakfast this morning! Jamie was our server, they were fantastic - super knowledgeable about allergies (highly recommend anyone with celiac disease like me or a gluten sensitivity come here, almost the entire menu can be made gluten free!!) so I felt very safe eating here, and they even surprised us with a free pastry since it was our first time at Juliet. We were taken care of so well, and the food was absolutely delicious! The ambiance is fantastic as well, really great decor and the whole space felt very clean and bright. We will definitely be back!

Juliana Casale

As previously stated, I am a sucker for subterranean spots. I dig the basement vibe, the extensive beer list, the range of sauce choices and the no-nonsense waitstaff. My eyes are usually bigger than my head at Redbones (especially with the afforable pricing), but that is absolutely not the restaurant's fault -- good thing ribs tend to hold up as leftovers! Pro Tip: Gluten free options are available if you ask :).

Hannah Haslam

I ordered the Broadway bowl, and I was disappointed that the vegetables were basically raw, the cheddar cheese was sprinkled on top and not melted, and there was some sort of liquid at the bottom, not sure what that was. It was supposed to come with toast, and I asked for gluten-free toast, but they were out. The people I dined with were equally unimpressed with their meals. They charge $6 for a tiny glass of orange juice. It was $100 for four of us for breakfast before tip. For that much, I would expect something incredible. Would definitely not ever come back.

Katie

This place is fabulous! Great food, reasonable prices, and delicious cocktails. Also tons of options for folks with celiac/gluten free.

Marissa Gillis

Safe gluten and dairy free options! Kind of a crowed space, recommend going for lunch or early dinner

David Foxe

Stunningly vibrant tastes and textures. Superb gluten free options.

Ben Wiener

Loved the food and experience. I have a gluten allergy and there was plenty to eat. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Kimberly M

The food was great, we tried so many things but somehow I only managed to take a picture of the deviled eggs. The fried rice and cochinita tacos were my favorites. I really appreciated their allergen marked menus, made ordering with Celiac a breeze.

Priscilla Zhang

They have gluten free waffles with no cross contamination, so that is what I get every time from here. Absolutely delicious food.

Dana Alford

Rita Walsh

Wonderful, fresh and SCRUMPTIOUS fare to be had at texture is perfect! The meat eaters in my party had only good things to say as well. The only thing better than the food is the customer service 👍😍👍 I placed an order for 20 people, including some vegans, a person with a fish allergy and someone with celiac disease, the way management addressed my concerns made for a relaxed and delightful dinner. Bravo 👏 Siam Ginger!

Elizabeth

Great experience at Premiere!! We loved the atmosphere and the entrees were very good. I loved the seafood fra diavolo. My husband loved the burger. We also had great service. The only thing is that you guys should get a gluten-free beer option (most Somerville bars do have Glutenberg or Daura Damm), or have a cider on draft instead of a can.

Peter Viscarola

Dali is a busy, quirky, restaurant with very good food and great service. We've eaten several times and have always enjoyed it. They have excellent Gluten Free and Dairy Free menus (and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the main menu), which makes it quite pleasant for those of us with a dining partner (my wife, in my case) who has food intolerances or allergies. Our server was extremely helpful in ensuring everything we ordered was allergy "safe." We always get the tapas, which range (and another review said) from exceptional to just "good, but nothing special." There are some nice little touches as well. For example, they have a sherry flight that comes with a detailed description of each offering. And I love that they provide a little sign that maps-out the meats and cheeses on the Plato Mixto, so you know the TYPES of each sample. Also strongly recommend the Gambas al Ajillo (a classic, really) and the Pinchitos Morunos de Pollo (chicken kabobs) which are super great. Definitely recommended; Always fun. Get there early (like, before 6:30 on a Wednesday) and you can walk-in and grab a table. Otherwise, reservations are strongly recommended. You CAN sit at the bar and order food if there's space and you don't want to wait.

Went to Vinny's on Sunday night with a friend who must follow a strict gluten free diet. We were attracted by the promise of gluten free pasta on the website. But when we got there, they had no gluten free pasta. She ended up with a very sad salad. The spinach was OK. The meal was disappointing.

100 Days left! Go checkem out if you haven’t! ALSO THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE NOODLES! what more could you ask for as a celiac!? Congratulations on 900 days, and see you around :)

Burcu Gozluklu

This place is definitely recommended for breakfast and lunch! 3 eggs omelette with veggies and gluten-free bread was super delicious. Owner and staff are all very nice and fast in service. They have good coffee and smoothies. Try and see, Sat and Sun mornings can be a little crowded because of the amazing food, but you will find a place to sit in 10 minutes. No reservations are needed. You can park in front or across the street there is a tjmaxx and other outlet stores with big parking place.

French fries in an omelette?! Yes, please. This breakfast was the bomb, and the cocktails were equally as amazing. The menu doesn't label their GF options, but they do have a designated gluten free fryer and quite a few safe options for brunch. The lemon chicken wings were also SO GOOD. Really enjoyed the vibe here, hope to be back soon!

They were not too sure about gluten options. Otherwise everything else was great

Dan Amirault

It was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza and I really enjoyed it. The staff accommodated food allergies and dietary restrictions well. Loved to see non-alcoholic and gluten free beer available too. Vegan cheese is available for the pizza. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other veg-friendly options they have.

Late-night cravings solved! This gluten-free Buffalo chicken pizza joint is a gem. Affordable, flavorful, and open late with delivery. Friendly service, reheats like a dream. A must-try for pizza lovers! Always get delivery. Never have been inside
