Beautiful place. They have food ready quickly. Their crust is amazing and gluten free! Can't wait to try more items in their menu

D Barrett

Really enjoyed having supper here with the family. They pay close attention to Gluten allergies and have a large selection to choose from.

Spencer Clerk

Great food, really friendly and welcoming service. I feel very safe and at ease bringing my celiac mother here, as well. It’s such good peace of mind to be able to trust that a place can serve celiac friendly food.

My mom has a gluten allergy, and this is one of the very few restaurants she trusts! Plus, the food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! Everything we’ve tried here has been amazing. The service is excellent, and every staff member is kind and attentive, always making sure you’re having a great time. We always leave happy. HIGHLY recommend! :)

Food was absolutely phenomenal, as was the service, I would highly highly highly recommend. On top of that, they have an allergen free menu including gluten free with separate dishes to avoid cross contamination.

Had a lovely pizza and Choc brownie, highly recommend it, but what made the place so memorable was the server Sienna who was awesome and the young chef who took the time to ensure we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that the gluten free pizza crust my buddy had was not so good but edible.

Geoff Redknap

The best gluten-free crust I have ever had. Made in house. You can’t tell the difference from the wheat one.

Mariana Santos

Very nice vegan and gluten free mushroom pasta! Ana was very nice

Michelle Fearless

Love all the gluten free options. The mac and cheese was awesome

Ashley Stillwell

One of the most enjoyable meals I have had in a LONG time. I have been to Greece before, and authentic Greek food is one of my absolute favorites. That being said, it is extremely hard to find a restaurant in North America that comes even close to an authentic Greek experience. So stepping inside the doors of Kasbah was a very magical and nostalgic meal for me. Everything about it screamed “authentic”. From the atmosphere to the items on the menu (some which I haven’t seen on a menu since I was actually in Athens), everything was incredible. A simple Greek salad turned into pure magic. And the souvlaki made me happy from the corners of my mouth to the tips of my toes. To top it off, the menu is mostly gluten free (or could be modified to be gluten free), and they handled my allergies to both soy and gluten with ease and grace. We were only visiting the area, but this is a meal I will be dreaming about for years. It’s almost worth the 20-hour drive.. 😏 If you get a chance, try it. You won’t regret it. Hats off to our waitress Cassidy! She took such wonderful care of us, and we just loved her!

I'm celiac, so I have to be very careful about where I eat. They have gluten-free options, and after talking with the staff, I was put at ease knowing they take all the precautions necessary to avoid cross contamination when preparing gluten-free dishes. The restaurant was great and the service was fantastic.

Deb Gibbs

Two friends and I had a lovely Moms Day off brunch here. First time visiting, I’d googled places my friend, who’s celiac, would be able to find good options. We opened the door and were greeted with a smile from the host and the wonderful smells of fresh baked goodies. There wasn’t a wait, but I wouldn’t have minded as I’d have had more time to look through to-go items for sale in the front. Our sever was friendly and prompt. Helped me decide between two things I was interested in, thoroughly assured my friend on what was gluten-free, substitutes to make things so, and our coffees were never empty. I will absolutely be coming back with my family soon.

Kenna Mack

Delicious food!! Atmosphere was crazy cool and an awesome view of the harbour. Also our server was absolutely awesome. A little expensive but definitely worth the experience. Also they gave me a birthday cake and it was very yummy. Very accommodating for someone in my party’s gluten intolerance as well.

Jessica Shifrin

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

Krystal Campioni

Very good gluten free pizza! Shared it with my non gluten intolerant wife and she loved it too! There’s cross contamination though, so not celiac friendly

Véronique Hamel

Excellent wood-fired pizza! Lots of varieties and the gluten-free crust was delicious (it's not suitable for celiacs and allergy sufferers though). Ultra fast service and friendly staff!

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Aaron Riley

Very great waitress tonight. 6 pm early reservation. Acknowledged allergy on reservation. Almost all menu items able to be done gluten free for celiac.

Carla

Cozy and best gluten free crust I've ever had

jagpreet singh

Gluten free food !

D L

Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

Steven Kelly

Love it here, a great gluten free pizza

Jonathan Martin

This restaurant has a very nice atmosphere with slightly dim lighting, Italian style 🇮🇹. Wood-fired oven to make good pizzas. Delicious. The waitress even took the time to bake a gluten-free roll for our daughter who is celiac. Great initiative. However, while she was taking the order I noticed that she was not taking notes. Obviously experienced waitresses like her usually remember orders by heart. We ordered a pizza with extra green pepper. Finally the pizza arrived WITHOUT chili.... Not the end of the world, but if she had written notes, she might not have forgotten it. A possible suggestion would be to enter the order into a tablet in hand to avoid this kind of small error. Nothing very serious, so 4 stars out of 5 for today given the small error. Otherwise it was 5/5 😃👌 Also today they clearly lacked waitresses on the floor and therefore the overall service was a little slower. That said, the waitress in question, being experienced, still managed to compensate with her efficiency. I still think that Mother's Day weekend would be a good time to staff the place a little more 😜

As someone who has a hard time finding Gluten-Free pizza…Mambo’s surpassed my expectations. Probably one of the best pizzas I have had. Thank you!!

Jessica

I visited Wienstein & Gavino’s for my birthday and had a very enjoyable experience. The menu offers a wide range of choices including entrees, salads, mains, pasta, and pizzas, so there’s something for everyone. One of the nice touches was the unlimited bread served with olive oil, it was fresh and a great way to start the meal. I also appreciated the customizable pasta options, where you can choose from different types of pasta and sauces. It’s great that they also offer gluten-free alternatives. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid choice for Italian food in the city and a place I’d be happy to return to.

Koda Henry

10 out of 10 to this particular location!! We have celiac disease and it is very serious, the owner took my order over the phone and was adamant that this location is gluten free, he did not disappoint. I really appreciated the care taken when preparing food for people with celiac disease as it is almost impossible to guarantee eating somewhere without the risk of being contaminated. The owner has celiac disease himself and knows his stuff, he even threw in a free order of fries! Highly recommend as these people really care. Thanks for the great experience!

Ashley Kennedy

I will be dreaming of the delicious crab cakes until I'm lucky enough to return! We originally chose to dine here as we were excited to see the level of gluten free accommodations, and it's safe to say we were all pleased with our experience! Our server was accommodating to our needs and requests, the food was EXCELLENT! the only thing missing was a beautiful glass of wine to pair with it all! A fun idea for guests to bring their own wine, but as we were from out of town, I would have enjoyed the convenience of ordering a glass from a menu. Overall, 9/10 experience!

Maureen Carter-Whitney

Delicious multi-course lunch with creative and tasty food. Loved the Roma salad, calamari and salmon entree - all perfectly prepared. The gluten-free pizza was excellent - one of the best I’ve tried! Lovely space and warm service.

Jenna Wenkoff

Their house made gluten free pizza dough is absolutely amazing! And they have a good understanding of cross contamination for celiacs

Jess Custance

Just ate here with two of my friends as we treated ourselves for mother's day! All I can say is that Sav and Sydney were absolutely amazing! They accommodated allergies, gluten free, and anything we asked with no problems at all. They were both so personable and really made our stay here amazing. Highly recommend coming and having fun with friends SHOUT OUT TO SAV AND SYD FOR MAKING OUR NIGHT

Bia Revez

Well prepared and tasty food, very friendly and helpful staff. Has a gluten-free menu. I recommend it.

Darcey Madam

The most incredible pizza I've had in Nova Scotia let alone being gluten free. Absolutely incredible.

Amanda klause

We went out for dinner before a concert and I ordered their pesto rosso pasta. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to this. On my first bite I bit into a rock. Thankfully I didn't chip a tooth. The waiter apologized and ordered new food for me. Which was great, but I was disappointed in their actions after. They gave me 50% off my pasta dish and no manager came to speak to me. I felt like this incident could have been worse and the fact that no manager came to apologize wasn't the best customer service.

Jess S

Great pizza and pasta! Also have awesome gluten free pizza!

Ryan Quinlan

Pesto pasta was delicious (very flavourful). Gluten free penne was slightly overcooked and falling apart. I upgraded my dish to include chicken (an extra $6). I was expecting to see either strips of grilled chicken or a whole chicken breast on the plate. There were only a few chicken breast chunks. I was a little disappointed with the amount of chicken for $6.

Maddie Christian

Very very well educated on Celiac! Always stop here when in Edmonton to enjoy a fresh and safe meal.

Lynn-Marie Shapcott

We had a Christmas get-together with our bowling group on December 19, 2024. The staff are amazing 👏, they went above and beyond service! The chef expressly made my own plate of gluten-free nachos 😋 THANK YOU! Love Chances R Lynn-Marie Shapcott Kanata

Joelle Boucher

First experience was amazing, had the gluten free pizza crust and by far one of the best I've had. Returned a second time specifically for the good pizza to find out they had run out of the gluten free dough. Very upset, you shouldn't put something on the menu if you don't keep it in stock. This would have never happened with a regular dough. Extremely disappointed and will not return.

Brenna Shilliday

Gluten free pasta is only available for spaghetti and fettuccine, but it was delicious!!! Great food and service, first time here and won’t be the last!

Hannah Burton

As a celiac, traveling is always tricky especially in countries where I don't speak the language. At Sapristi, I was able to enjoy a delicious gluten free meal with no issues. The staff were friendly and helpful and able to advise on my allergies. My only complaint would be that we were seated on the patio and there are lots of hoverflies on the terrace that buzz around your food. That being said, I would return again if I was in the area. Thank you Sapristi!

Kate and Jason Rebelo

We always have such an incredible time here! Brendan has been our server the past two times and service has been excellent. He makes great recommendations & everything is so quick! I’m celiac and they take very good care with their gluten free items, and confirm it in writing when punching in the order, and a manager brings it out and specifies it’s gluten free. Food is always top notch as well. No complaints, can definitely see us becoming regulars here lol.

Alanna Maria

Fantastic options for Celiac. We have three in our family and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal from poutine to pasta to pizza. The staff were very knowledgeable about gluten free/Celiac and took great care of us.

Anna “Anna”

Excellent gluten-free menu

Matteo

One of the best restaurants I have ever been too. The service is amazing, they are very kind, and also has many gluten free options. If you are looking for a good Italian place to go to this should be on your list.

Breanna Puhach

Great gluten free pizza! I appreciated that the staff were knowledgeable and careful in making my order gluten free. Tons of menu options in general, and a good number of gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions.

bea

looking for a delicious gluten-free option or simply a perfect place for a date night, Sapristi St-Jean is the ideal place. The restaurant is easy to find, with parking spaces along the street. We were greeted quickly and seated at a table with a big smile, which immediately set the mood. As a starter, we opted for the onion soup and olives and pickles. The presentation was neat). For the main course, the gluten-free American pizza was absolutely delicious, with dough that really tasted like traditional dough (impressive for a gluten-free option). The two salmon pasta was good, but lacked a little salt to really bring out the flavors. In summary, an excellent experience, with tasty dishes and friendly service. I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for gluten-free options or just a good meal in a pleasant atmosphere

anthony dallazanna
