Top 18 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Carlton

A lovely little Italian restaurant: Pizza and Gnocchi Bar. We shared a few plates of Gnocchi and a pizza in biancho (not tomato based). Between 3 of us. Absolutely scrumptuous food within an absolutely delightful atmosphere. Plenty of different sauces to accompany gnocchi. Simple, yet genuine, tasty yet not over the top. Little pillow puffs that were soft and light...only 10% flower and gluten free apparently. Coming from an Italian background, we do make home made gnoccli from scratch. Despite Gemma's rendition being different they were very appetising and lovely to eat. Probably one of my favourite dishes to eat at home and I never order them when dining out as it's rare to find them so good. The porcini pizza was in bianco as I've mentioned. Subtle flavours with the essence of truffle oil which is my favourite. Absolutely very yummy. The base was was light thin yet fluffy around the crust. It can be made with a gluten free option if you prefer. The chef also provided us with arancini as an entre. I absolutely loved them...hope they get back onto the menu in the future. The green chilli oil was also an excellent accompanyment to our meal especially with the garlic focaccia. As far as service goes, it was exceptional during our dinner. Thankyou and I look forward to the next dine in experience.

Yeah look. Celiac here. Ordered a gluten free pizza. Took a bite of the first slice and thought ‘hmm this is either the best gluten free base I’ve had, OR they have served me a normal pizza base’. Called the waitress over and surprise! it WAS NOT GLUTEN FREE! Lucky I stopped after a slice realising it was too good to be true 😢 Currently very unwell due to their negligence. Be better, You can kill someone one day with this kind of negligence.

Food was really good! I really enjoyed it. The service from Sol was excellent—super caring and attentive. They also have great gluten-free options, which is a big plus. Highly recommend!

Food is always amazing here. They have lots of gluten free options and lots of Italian food to chose from. Anything you want, it's there! Drinks are good and there's even a bunch of share drinks that come in giant buckets!

Large group had the banquet. Our server was absolutely amazing. Vegan food served me was so-so, no gluten free bread for the 2 GF ladies. Pizzas more like focaccias. Walnut pesto pasta too much pepper. Duxk ragout not a fave of the group. Over priced (very small) drinks at $22 each. Then hit with Fri night "surcharge" also charged a cancellation fee for one of our party who had her eye punctured that day and we showed the evidence of the medical emergency. Somehow the $60 we were quoted turned into $70 with the nasty surcharge, add a tiny drink and you were paying nearly $100. Will not be going back.

Amazing food and service. Great starters. Being gluten free is usually pretty hard for me to eat out. However, nothing is an issue at Scopri. GF pasta cooked al dente, delicious sauce. Good wine list. Giulia looked after us, amazing service. I'll be back!

Wonderful. Yummy food, friendly service. Lots of gluten free and lactose free options. Try their ribs 😋😋😋

Everything so good. BUT It's not gluten free. It's low-gluten, important for celiac people.

Amazing hospitality and service. Has a very beautiful environment and staff are lovely. Food is fresh and served efficiently. Great pizzas and pastas for vegan and gluten free options. Looking forward to my next visit.

Pasta was indescribably delicious. Gluten free pizza was poor. Osso bucco was incredible. Wonderful staff, ambient atmosphere.

I love coming to Cafe Cavallino! The staff are always so welcoming, helpful and friendly. It feels like you’re eating in a family dining room with the love it oozes. We took my friend here for her birthday and the staff all came out to sing happy birthday along with the patrons around us. It’s loud. The food is delicious. They have gluten free pasta and pizza. The food is SO reasonably priced and we just LOVE coming here! Wine is excellent too!

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the dining experience I recently had at your restaurant on 17/10/23 This experience was not only frustrating but also quite concerning, as it involved an issue of misrepresentation on your menu and an inadequate response from the Waitstaff. Upon placing my order, I ordered the copperwood chicken with mashed potatoes as my meal as it was my understanding that this would be a gluten-free option, as there was no indication to the contrary on your menu. To my shock and dismay, when my meal was served, I was presented with a dish containing soggy bread with a tiny amount of mashed potatoes smeared around the soggy bread. This discrepancy was already distressing, but what truly compounded my disappointment was the response I received from the waitress when I pointed out the error. She claimed that "it's something new they are trying but haven’t updated the menu" and left me feeling as though I were at fault for the misunderstanding. Her response was not only unprofessional but also utterly unhelpful. As a customer who places their trust in your establishment and depends on accurate menu descriptions due to dietary restrictions, this experience was not only unacceptable but also potentially harmful to my health, as consuming gluten can have serious consequences for individuals with gluten intolerance. I am deeply disappointed in the lack of responsibility and accountability demonstrated by your staff. This not only tarnishes the reputation of your restaurant but also raises concerns about the accuracy of your menu and the safety of dining at your establishment for those with dietary restrictions. I kindly request that you take immediate steps to rectify this issue. Firstly, I expect a formal apology for the distress and inconvenience I experienced during my visit. Secondly, I urge you to update your menu to reflect accurate descriptions of the dishes you serve. Finally, it is crucial that you provide better training to your staff regarding customer service and handling discrepancies with professionalism and care. If a restaurant cannot accept criticism and is unwilling to treat customers with respect, it may lead to a challenging environment for both the establishment and its patrons. Customer feedback is an invaluable source of insight, helping businesses understand what they do well and where they can make improvements. Ignoring or dismissing valid feedback can ultimately lead to a decline in customer satisfaction and retention. Pick up your game and stop being nasty to your customers!

We had such a beautiful dinner at Di Stasio. Wonderful service, delicious food (and they catered for gluten free dietary requirements) and a beautiful atmosphere. Super funky interior too
