We had a lovely outdoor lunch at the end of summer. I was pleasantly surprised by their gluten free pasta offerings. The calamari and spicy stuffed peppers were awesome. We will be back!

I came here for the first time last month and have been back two more times. I don't know why it took me so long to come try it (well maybe because parking in Little Italy leaves a lot to be desired). All the food I've had here has been very good, especially the homemade pasta. The noodles were thick and delicious and the sauce had the perfect flavor. I've also had lasagna and the regular crust pizza which were also very good. The portions aren't crazy out of control. I normally avoid gluten because it makes me blow up like a balloon and will only eat it if it's really worth it. Here, it is really worth it. I haven't tried the gluten free crust yet but plan to, I'm glad they have that option it makes me like them even better.

Amazing. We moved to Cleveland 4 years ago and have had a hard time finding good food. This restaurant had tons of options for food & drinks, they made it so easy to find gluten free options I could eat, the drinks were strong, my water glass was never less than half full, they went over the wine list with my mother in law and found her something she loved, the staff was professional & personable, and it was so REASONABLY priced. I was actually shocked when our bill came because I thought it was going to cost twice as much as it did. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks and can’t wait to return.

After encountering an initial disappointment at Burgerim due to receiving gluten buns instead of the gluten-free lettuce wraps I ordered, I was pleasantly surprised by the owner's response. Mario promptly addressed my concerns with sincerity, offering a full refund and a gift card as a gesture of goodwill. His commitment to improving service and ensuring a better experience on my next visit is commendable. While my first visit was disappointing, I appreciate Mario's efforts to rectify the situation. Therefore, I am updating my rating to 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you, Mario, for your attention to customer satisfaction.

NOTE PSA: There are Gluten Free options on the menu, AND some of the bread options *Are NOT actually gluten free*. They are supposed to be in the process of updating their menus. I was able to find ample options that were both Gluten free and nut free. Servings were generous, appetizing presentation, you could smell the spices and ingredients, the sauces and foods were flavorful and prepared appropriately. The service was professional, courteous, friendly, and clean. Tables and overall establishment was friendly, warm, inviting, clean, and had a flair for ethnic decor. Good natural light from the front window, several booths available for a more intimate date or gathering, and then several tables in the middle of the floor. I found them in an online search near Severance Hall. They do take reservations. I highly recommend this place, and will eat there again. Oh, prices are fair for what you receive. Beverage selection is sufficiently varied of good if not excellent options.

My boyfriend and I are visiting from upstate New York for the ACDC concert and we decided to stay in downtown Cleveland. We were looking for somewhere to eat in a safer location, and we stumbled upon La Dolce Vita when looking for places to eat with italian options without gluten. When we arrived we were promptly seated. We were then given pasta salad and bread immediately as we sat. I ordered the gnocchi and my boyfriend got gluten free pasta with pesto. Both were so amazing and served so quickly. Unexpectedly after our meal, our server gave us a plate of fruit with whipped ricotta. So delicious! Earlier in the day both of us were bummed with the location of where we were staying, and I can confidently say that the experience at La Dolce Vita and Little Italy was a high point for our trip. Thank you to the whole team here, everyone we encountered did a phenomenal job and we could not be more pleased with our dining experience.

I had lunch at Build The Pho yesterday and, as someone with celiac disease, I often feel anxious about dining out. However, I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff were knowledgeable about which foods and sauces to avoid, and they took my dietary needs seriously. I had the shrimp rolls, which were fresh and delicious, and they provided a gluten-free sauce that I really enjoyed. I left feeling satiated and healthy. Thank you, Build The Pho!

This place is GREAT. It is connected to the bakery with a wide passageway to the bakery with ample room for a wheelchair. The seating allows for chairs to be moved and a wheelchair to pull up. The person taking our order couldn't have been more helpful and patient as we navigated the extensive menu. They were also near closing time and made sure to let us know we could stay as long as the bakery, which is open later, was still open. There is a 10” gluten-free crust for pizza for $10 that has the taste and texture of regular pizza: fluffy AND crunchy! The food was DELICIOUS! The ingredients were superb - fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce that tasted just like homemade. Everyone in our group, including my Italian-born mom, was satisfied and had enough to take away for seconds the next day! We will definitely be back!
