Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Calgary

Raquel Alejandra

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

Geoff Redknap

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

Jenna Wenkoff

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

Carol Thompson

Fantastic gluten free pizza. They're so careful here with allergies.

H Marie

Gluten free pizza was delish, service was great!

Courts Champion

Food was good. We had four different kinds of pizza including a gluten free one. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten free ingredients which was appreciated, unfortunately they lacked a sense of urgency and we waited a lot. Disappointing because we really enjoyed the food and the patio.

John Smith

I'm extremely pleased by the staff here. I had a food allergy I made my server aware of at the start. When they brought my meal, I had about .2 seconds to stare at it before another server swooped in and stole it back stating "Sorry this one isn't gluten free", and the manager appeared from the other side with the correct order. The whole switch out happened in less than 10 seconds. On top of that, there was no discernable difference to the appearance of the meals, to my eye anyways, so I'm even more impressed by how quick they noticed the wrong one had been presented first. Finally- it was Valentine's, and they were absolutely brutally packed and still managed to do all this with a smile. The food was great but it could have been awful at that point (as so many gluten free substitutions are anyways) and I still would have been amazed.

Jenna Wenkoff

This is a great airline. I had such a friendly stewardess on my last flight, and they even serve gluten free pizza!

Ashley A

The gluten free pizza crust is some of the best we have had! Also for someone with a dairy intolerance, they had great options as well!

Paul Spenrath

This place is more for takeout, but still has a few tables for eat in. They have very good pizza, including gluten free versions. They have delivery.

Amanda Keeton

Excellent gluten free crust!

Russell Brown

Delicious, full pie (incl. gluten free) or by-the-slice options, and super friendly! Will definitely be back...

Abby Lacasse

My and my Partner dined in for the first time here , we had ordered to go before. Ari served us and was incredibly kind and went above and beyond the moment we walked in the door. The service immediately stood out to me as a focal point of dining in. As well as accommodating gluten allergies, great place for a great dinner.

Blud Barbi

Had the gluten free crust and cauliflower crust and wow sooooo good. Tried many other places before and now Sammy’s will be my go to for pizza! Can’t wait to try the other items on menu!

Tamed Temptress

This was our first meal and wow !! My gluten free pizza not only didn’t taste like cardboard it was fantastic ! My husband wanted to kiss the chef after the Penne Calbrese….new fav spot! And shout out to Bryan our waiter he was lovely!

Kristin Trueman

I enjoy coming here because the flavours are delicious and the service is typically great! However I need to management to increase their knowledge around gluten free. If a company is going to offer gluten free then please operate with the expectation that it has to do with an allergy, not a dietary preference. Thankfully I’m an asymptomatic celiac but cross contamination still has long term negative effects on my body. But I will never recommend this restaurant to a symptomatic celiac. My food was not kept separate from the gluten food, my container was even put into the same bag as the bread and there was bread crumbs all over my container. And as you’ll see there is my family members pasta sauce all over the top of my pasta container. This is not sauce from my food as I got the pasta with curry. Management please do better. I just returned from a trip from Italy and maybe my expectations maybe too high but a country that is 90% Italian restaurants offering pizza and pasta did a better job of keeping me safe from gluten than you guys.

Jennifer Harder (Nif)

Great store, as usual. I hadn't been there in years and since I can't have gluten now (boo!) I didn't know what I'd find for me. I found biscotti, pasta and gnocchi and a couple of other things. Score!

Lior Gifter

Great, authentic Neapolitan pizza, and good wine. I had a classic Margherita, but there's a very wide selection of other pizzas, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free ones. Many other dishes as well. The servers were super nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back for more.

ZoEy Gerbrandt

Grate place good price it’s all my friend will order gluten free and a lot more they have will fill you up and go back for more

Lance L. Unser

Yep I love this place and I love the Gluten Friendly crust. They do let you know up front that there is a chance of cross contamination. In the last 4 years I’ve never had an issue

Christine D

Highly recommend for anyone looking for Gluten Free options, including desert!! Atmosphere was warm and cozy, service was efficient, friendly and helpful.

Ray Qureshi

Love the food and the ambience here! First of all the ambience is super chill, they have tons of greenery all over the restaurant. Bathrooms are neat and tidy which is always nice to see. The service was wonderful, I forget my servers name but everybody was super helpful. I got myself the Pesto Chicken Penne Penne Asiago and they were super accomodating for my Gluten Allergy!

TANVI KATHURIA

Ordered the Fettuccine with Truffle Cream Sauce—loved the flavors, and they were great about accommodating my customization request! I was especially impressed with our server, Oksana—she was so thoughtful and sweet, even bringing me gluten-free bread without me asking. Thank you!

Cammy Brown

Amazing meal with wonderful service First time at this location Everything was efficient and quick. I was so impressed they had a gluten friendly menu too We will be back 😊

Alex Thompson

This was a great spot for some small bites and drinks. The food was excellent, drinks options plentiful and the service was brilliant too. My wife is a coeliac and they were incredibly knowledgeable on what she could and couldn’t have which was appreciated. Wasn’t the cheapest (we spent $100 for 4 plates and two drinks including a tip) but was worth the money. The only issue was that they had only one waiter serving the whole of the upper floor - she was brilliant but she needed some help!

Garry Zacharias

Best pizza in Calgary I’m from Saskatoon so I always get pizza here when I’m in Calgary They also have gluten free crusts

Alycia Herlein

Great gluten free options, and the staff are knowledgeable about the options that are available. Deducted a star because their online/skip is $5-$8 dollars more per dish, which adds up to a big difference.

Jean Mathieu

The small size of this restaurant gives it somewhat of a familiar and quiet atmosphere, making it a lovely place to go out to. The entrees are always delicious and the wine selection is excellent. And despite all the pasta dishes, my wife with celiac disease can eat there no problem as many of the dishes are gluten free.

Jay M

Amazing family resturant. Fresh home made pastas, the best home made gluten free pasta

Paul Spenrath

It is laid out as a sports bar/restaurant. Some vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

Barry

Absolutely amazing evening. Service, atmosphere and food were all perfect at this family owned and operated restaurant. Thanks for a wonderful evening. Many Gluten-free options are available and staff are very knowledgeable about what can and can’t be modified.

Jennifer Beswick-Arthur

We go to Al's often. It is a small little neighborhood restaurant. Pizza and pasta are fantastic. They also do gluten free pasta and pizza. There are specials for pick up on certain days, check out their website for the deals. Ceaser salad is fantastic and all pasta comes with garlic bread!

Lisa MacLean

I had a rather frustrating experience at this location today. I have a gluten allergy and specifically called ahead to verify there were multiple menu items that I would be safe to eat. Over the phone I was assured there were many options. When I was there today with a group of friends, I found out my options were extremely limited. My server did do her diligence to check what would be available for me and it was suggested the artichoke and spinach dip. She then returned apologizing saying that the chips that came with it were not actually gluten friendly. In the end all I ended up with was a salad. The salad was tasty, but the options available were very disappointing when I specifically called to verify, and then to be told I could have something, then told wait no, never mind was frustrating. If you are celiac I would be cautious about dining here.

Shelley Wallace

First time at this lovely restaurant, wonderful food, great service! Great price for four awesome courses. My husband has to eat gluten free and they accommodated him for each course. Very impressed, will be back and will bring friends 😊

Lorenzo Belcastro

Our first time trying this rustic family owned trattoria, delicious “home made” pizzas. My girlfriend ordered the Gluten Free crust and she said it was incredible. We will definitely be coming back for more.

H S

Love love their gluten free cauliflower pizza! Staff is so friendly too

My partner and I went here a couple months ago for an anniversary dinner and wanted to try something new for us. Food felt fairly basic for the price, Don't get me wrong it was good food but not exceptional like I expected for the price. The restaurant was also fairly loud, it was kind of hard to have a conversation over dinner. No real issue but we did have an odd time ordering. My partner is gluten free and asked which meals could be gluten free as the menu just says "options available" the waiter responded "anything that doesnt have beef" which seemed a little odd but sure thats perfect, they ordered the Gnocchi and the waiter said "oh not that one actually, you see it has potatoes" and we just kinda looked at him confused for a second until he said "and the flour of course" which like I guess i get if this plave doesnt prepare their gnocchi in a way that the flour couldnt be swapped so they ordered the penne and it was fine. No gluten in the pasta which is great but we were given 2 peices of bread wordlessly. At first was fine as I could eat them but the bread was really tough to cut and chew and spread butter on I felt. The meal itself was good, the chicken I got was prepared well we just arent sure the waiter knows what gluten is. During the meal some other guest did faint and ems had to be called, I know thats not on the resturant but felt I should add to what an exciting evening this was, we also got to listen to the bartender talk all night so that was pretty fun. Pretty good place but I probably won't be back personally, not for me

Chris Black

Great Italian fare like grandma Nonna used to make! Attentive service too. Despite the lack of gluten free options mentioned on the menu, they actually can make most of their dishes gluten free. We'll be back!

R Fee

Gluten free menu and care regarding my daughter’s sensitivity was impeccable! Order was double checked and salad in a separate bowl. Amazing service, waiter was top tier. Not once did we have to wait for refills etc. Very impressed with service!

Chris Erickson

It is a smaller restaurant, which can have a harder time accommodating larger groups, but their service is great. They have a variety of good cocktails which were well made. Their gluten free options for pasta are limited to penne noodles. Although I would have loved some linguini the dishes with the penne noodles were quite good.

Sheerin Hasan

We had the pleasure of eating here after trying it a few months ago, very rarely do we find that there is consistency and they didn’t disappoint. The pasta was fresh and el dante …felt like I was in a cozy place in venice! The fellow (Ganesh) speaking to us was also very nice and told us about the fresh ingredients that go in the pasta. I had the gluten free gnocchi and my hubby had the creamy pesto ravioli. I’m always nervous eating out but he made sure everything was done absolutely perfectly! Really recommend this place as a nice night out and value for money!

Tamara Fleming

A great Italian restaurant with yummy gf pizza. Sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice and helpful with making sure the gf pizza would be handled properly since my husband is celiac.

SRF

The gluten free pizza with all the amazing ingredients for a vegetarian was phenomenal.

Jennifer Keable

Beyond exceeded all expectations!!! I came as part of a group event. As someone who eats gluten and dairy free, going to an Italian restaurant I expected my options to be extremely limited. The team went up and beyond ensuring that I had options for every course of the meal and the dessert was the best dessert I've had in years at a restaurant. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Stephanie Jackman

My husband, our 12-year old daughter and I dined at Annabelle's Kitchen on Friday night at the end of a busy week. What a great find! All of the pizzas and pastas on the menu can be made gluten free and the food was wonderful. The menu and the ambiance are casual enough for young families, but the food was top notch and there was a good selection of wines and cocktails. We shared the chocolate mousse for dessert and it was gone in an instant.

Stephanie Jackman

Via Cibo is great for fast, family-friendly Italian food. Most pastas can be made gluten free.

Hannah Rehak

Gluten free food there is not good. I have been there twice now, the first time, the Carbonara sauce was so salty it was inedible. My husband, who will eat anything, couldn't eat it either. When I mentioned this to staff, it seemed like I was being a nuisance. The second time, I had the ricotta lemon shrimp pasta. I could not taste any lemon, it was a 'Where's Waldo' effort to even find a shrimp, and it tasted honestly, bad. The gluten free pasta they serve there does not taste good at all, and it isn't helped by lacklustre sauces. Also, the gelato is not great. I have eaten lots of gelato, in lots of places, and I'd say this one just isn't worth the effort. I also think $18 for a dish with a 'self serve' format of waiting in line to order, getting your own water etc is steep. Needless to say, I won't be going back for a repeat!

Rica Mak

Whether you are looking to dine in, or pick up some fresh Italian ingredients/sauces/treats to take home, Mercato is your one-stop-shop for the best and highest quality Italian goods. If you have a gluten intollerance, dont worry! They also sell gluten-free pasta (from italy). Hands down, this may very well be the best italian restautant in Calgary. Great ambiance, staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and my god....the FOOD... It is absolutely to die for. If you have never been to Mercato, it is an absolute MUST!

benjamin Mctavish

I'm sure the normal pizza is just fine. However, the GF and I went here to try a new gluten-free place. The gluten-free crust was rather bland... and they used regular flour as the anti-stick base which defeats the purpose of the gluten-free.

Chelsey Sherloski

Such a great night! I wish I could remember our waitresses name but she was so wonderful with ensuring my allergies to Gluten and Dairy were not something I had to worry about. She checked in very frequently on how I was doing and making sure I knew what I could and could not eat. Great food and amazing service!
