Top 46 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Edmonton

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.

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

This is my favorite restaurant. I have been going to it for about 30 years. It even has gluten free pasta for my husband!

Stefan Swanepoel

I always order their sandwiched on gluten free over skip. Nice, fresh ingredients and the italian sausage is so damn good. I recommend trying an italian sausage panini, red pepper, arugula and mayo. One of my favourites with the fries and soda. 10/10 for gluten free.

The food was amazing. 2 of us shared the family style 3 course meal and every piece was phenomenal. My partner got the salt cod and it was also amazing. They also accommodated my celiac amazingly and did it all gluten free. Service was notably good and the restaurant is so cute. Our server asked if we wanted refills when we had one sip left of our drink, was very friendly and professional. Also, first restaurant in my experience to read the OpenTable comments area, and asked about the holiday I noted and my celiac.

Tried the gluten free Margherita, i really enjoyed. It was really wonderfull, polite server and amazing ambience.

Angelique Summers

Great place to come for good food, 3 courses with each entree. Gluten free options that are tasty…hope one day they get gluten free buns/bread-tough watching everyone eat the yummy bread loaf with garlic butter.

It is a cute little spot more upscale than many other Italian restaurants in Edmonton, jeans and a nice shirt are perfect but dressing up wouldn't feel out of place. Service was terrific, friendly and attentive while not feeling faked. Food was quite good, rich in flavor and textures. Steak and mushroom risotto may have been a bit on the heavy side with nothing to offset it. Pescatore (gluten free) was very good, good balance of flavor with the citrus cream sauce and the penne was properly aldente. ☺️ We made a reservation in advance, requested a wheelchair table and identified I was celiac, the table was prepared with the restricted diet menu and open spot for my husband's chair. Some comments have whined about a lack of table cloths and the utensils being in paper napkins, personally I prefer that for the cleanliness it affords. No one is touching the utensils when setting the table, and no gross cloths with remnants of 🤢sloppy/sniveling past guests. When coming with a wheelchair, note that the door is not automatic and you'll need to navigate a smaller exterior landing at the entrance to get around the outswing of the double door. Inside is a well sized foyer with room to turn around as long as it's not stuffed with people. IFYKYK 😉. A bonus is that it is the main entrance, not a service door and accessible parking is right out front if a bit tight. If you need assistance with the doors, I'm certain the people there will be happy to help with a smile. A really wonderful caring vibe was felt when we were there. Solid experience and will definitely recommend and return!

Went there on a first date last year and again as we were both getting hangry. The difference in the 2 visits is I've become gluten sensitive so we weren't sure how or what I could eat. But all thr pizzas and Flatbread had a gf option which was great. We got the smoked Mozzarella wrapped and Prosciutto which was great! Then this spicy Italian sausage pizza on the gf crust and it was delicious. With limited places and choices I will be going back!

Nancy Burton

Went out with a group of friends and had a ball. The food was fantastic and the server was top notch. So delighted my gluten free friend could have a proper meal with dessert

I will give a big thumbs up to you guys. I ordered gluten free pizza. Dough was so soft normally gluten free crust is always chewy to eat. All the toppings were equally placed. I really enjoyed my pizza. Thank you for your service. 👍👍

Susan McWhinnie

Awesome job with the gluten free meals

Muhtasim Adib (Soupboi)

Easily the best Donair place in Edmonton for a quick bite. The owner alongside the rest of the staff is extremely kind. Their gluten free donair pizza is also some of the best gluten free pizza I've had

Preslea MacDonald

We have always enjoyed the food and service at the Sicilian! It can be very loud on weekends but that is to be expected and it was very warm in there. Other than that we always enjoy our dining experience there :) like that they have gluten free pastas too for individuals!

Tom King

Usually eat here a few times a year due to proximity to my work location. The service tends to be very good and the Gluten Free Pasta is always great! Actually ate here twice before Christmas and enjoyed both times. Would be nice to liven the place up with some fresh colors however if you are going for the food, you will enjoy it for sure! I will be back again.

Simon Young

Phenomenal experience. The food was beyond fantastic, service was impeccable, the whole dinner was perfect. I'm celiac and the selection of gluten free options was excellent, I had the carbonara with gluten free pasta and it was incredible. Truly worth a visit.

Liz Stewart

We stumbled upon this restaurant about a year ago while looking for gluten free restaurants on Skip the dishes, while in town for some appointments. I saw they had gluten free pasta and we decided to try it because it's not very often you come across gluten free pasta options. It was amazing. I had the Il Pasticcio and talk about flavour. The sausage was moist and full of spice (in a good way) the sauce was creamy and delicious. Just all around good. We had it a few times through Skip and we we're never disappointed. Today we decided to stop in as we felt dinning in with a toddler would be easier than ordering and eating in a hotel room. Not only did we get amazing food, again (it tasted even better as it was fresh from the kitchen) but the service was also 10/10. The owner was serving the tables and he was so so friendly, kind, and accommodating to our toddler, and very attentive to everyone dining. He was always checking in with us to make sure we had what we needed or to chat, which we enjoyed after driving 5 hours. Overall just a great evening out for supper. The restaurant was clean and smelled of the delicious food they make. It could be easily missed as another hole in the wall restaurant, but the quality of the food is that of a 5 star restaurant. It rivals food from Castello Italiana at the Fairmont Banff, all made fresh to order with quality ingredients. Honestly do yourself a favor and go in and try them, you will not be disappointed

I'd like to start off that our server Camelle was AWESOME! Very attentive to our needs, kind and friendly - probably the best part of the night! I saw on the gluten free menu the steak with parmesan garlic broccoli. That sounded so good. However, when they came to serve me my meal I was being served a steak with gluten free noodles with marinara sauce on the side. I mentioned that I was expecting the broccoli. Our server was AWESOME. Went the extra mile to see that there was a discrepancy between menu and BOH menu. However, when my meal finally came, the broccoli was overcooked and mushy. Also, when the bill came and I realized I was charged $27.99 for my meal - I was appalled. WILL NEVER order this again! On a plus, the endless salad was nice.

Y Takasaki

Ordered some pasta for delivery and called in with a quick question about making my order gluten friendly, the staff were so lovely and accommodating!

Canuck _O

Really great. I am a reactive celiac. They made sure to take all precautions with my order. Excellent service and really great food.

Monica Bernard

We went for lunch yesterday and not only had awesome food but had remarkable service! The gentleman that served us was so great! One of our guests required gluten free pizza, I tasted it and couldn't really tell the difference. It was really good!

Jennifer Joseph

Best gluten free pizza crust and so delicious

Allie MacMillan

I ordered the Gluten Free Dolce Piccante Pizza, It was the best pizza I've had in a long time, great flavour profile. My son had the pepperoni and loved his as well. The only bad thing is we are from out of town and can't order regularly. Will def be on my list of places to go when we come back to the city. Highly recommend

Kriti Singh

Fantasia Catering absolutely knocked it out of the park for our work holiday lunch! The food was incredibly delicious, and every dish was a hit. Their customer service was top-notch – they were very responsive and accommodating to our needs, including dietary restrictions (vegetarian and gluten-free options were readily available). We were impressed with their affordability and flexibility. We received fantastic feedback from the entire office. 10/10, would definitely use Fantasia Catering again in the future!

Katelyn B

Great pizza! Also wonderful and accommodating service. The servers were very friendly and tentative. I had their 4 cheese pizza with truffle honey. Very delicious. I found their gluten free crust to be a bit tough to bite into but it honestly didn't really ruin it for me either because the flavors and cheesiness of the pizza was top notch.

Shawn Kirkpatrick

This was my first experience. While I really wanted to leave a 5 star review, a few things needed improvement. To start, I had an incredible Insalata Caprese. Featured photos. Easily the best I've had both in flavor and in presentation. Great work chef!! I am Celiac so I had the gluten free pasta in the seafood Alfredo sauce. I requested a notch more garlic. The dish came out and it was incredible. Absolutely I would order this again. The fallen star come to the dessert. Sadly the gelato portions are very small and very high priced. We ordered the taramisu. It was defrosted, with a soggy base dressed in whipped cream. It was not good. The plate remined full when it was taken away. The service was wonderful, the meal great, the desserts and selection were not good. I'll be back but suggest more dessert options.

Kendra S

Absolutely delicious! Accommodated a party of 12 with ease. They offer vegan and gluten free options. Pizza and wings were great - will definitely be back!

collinschiropractic

I've been here twice and ordered a gluten free pizza. Bar none the best gluten free pizza I have ever had in a restaurant. In my opinion, the crust tasted and had the same consistency/texture as regular pizza crust. The Amore la Carne pizza is awesome!

Jill Williams

My 9 year old daughter has celiac disease and a lot of worry about getting sick. the servers are always so kind. They make extra little efforts to reassure her that mean a whole lot to my daughter.(clean the table in front of her, reassure her the GF crust is actually what came out, and last night offered to have a kitchen staff member come and tell her how they made her pizza if she needed). She has never gotten sick at this restaurant but recently did at a different pizza place so it’s a big worry for her. It’s so nice as a busy mom to be able to go out for dinner somewhere she feels safe!!!! Great customer service.

Julie M.

This location makes the best tasting GLUTEN FREE pizza! I ordered the Greek pizza. It was heavenly!

Sara Villalobos

NOT GLUTEN SAFE!! The food tasted great, and the place was beautiful, but I got sick on a dish I was assured safe. I expected more out of a place with this many gluten free options. The waitress rolled her eyes at me to start when I asked which meats were safe, and said all but she hesitated, so I didn't risk it (most sasauges are not safe). She told me the pizza could be a risk while rolled out so I avoided it, even the pasta just in case. She did tell me that the risotto was completely safe because it was rice, I confirmed that what was on it was too (as most sauces and creamy things have flour) and seemed a bit irritated at this point. We had a decent size group for a birthday, tips definitely would have paid off my minor inconvenience of asking these questions. I obviously hate to be that person, but this is my health. I know the questions to ask, but I was hit with hesitation and irritation instead of double checking.

I was here for dinner with my girlfriend. This place has a very dim light ambience with just one candle on the table. It was funny to see people around me using the phone flashlight to read the menu. There was literally one server seving 10 tables. Service was pretty slow. Like I saw our pastas ready since they have an open kitchen counter. The server picked it up and handed it to us after 10 minutes. They have a lot of gluten free options if you have an allergy. Food was average. Great portions though. We tried the Salsiccia for appetizer and Tagliatelle con pollo and the Rigatoni verdure. It tasted decent.

Tammy Rachynski

Excellent pizza, including gluten-free pizza!

I haven’t been to Ragazzi for well over a decade. I remembered it as a decent pizza restaurant. My daughter happens to live nearby so we went there. On a 1-10 rating, service was about 5. Not really bad but not good. We reserved a table for 6 and when we arrived we were sat near the kitchen and the front door where everybody stands when they come for pick up etc.. We were told there were no other options. We ordered a large salad which we were told could be shared by up to 4 people. They delivered a smaller salad, apologized, quickly threw in some more Iceberg lettuce and brought it back. Daughter requires gluten free options (Celiac) and they have them and I did not hear a complaint. Pizza toppings are fine and plenty of options. Maybe they had an “off night but the pizza crust was memorable for how ungood it was. Almost like a ready made crust. I theorized that because my daughter asked for gluten free pasta, they gave the rest of us gluten free crust? Don’t get me wrong, I ate plenty and enjoyed it. But I am not raving about the food, not over the top about the service so it’s sort of OK. the place has been around for more than 20 years and everybody has an off night.

I got married here!!!!! In 2003 (when I was 5 years old!), my family moved to Riverbend and we have celebrated many life milestones at Oliveto since. Naturally, when I was planning my intimate wedding ceremony, Oliveto was the first place that came to mind. We met with Romero and arranged to have our ceremony and lunch in the restaurant. On Saturday's, Oliveto is closed between lunch and dinner, so we were able to privately book the space from 1:00-4:00 pm practically free of charge. Day of, they arranged two long tables for our 20 guests. Together, we had come up with a family-style menu with a few salads, pastas, and wines, and for a small fee we brought our own wedding cake from an outside vendor. The also made a GF portion for a celiac guest. They had many servers on site and the day could not have run more smoothly. As always, the food was incredible. It was also remarkably reasonably priced. We love Oliveto! Huge thank you to everyone who helped make our day so special.

Sam Denotter

Had lunch here with my sister. Was a very cozy. Food was delicious, and apparently the gluten-free pasta was also very good.

La Jefa

Been coming to Tony's for almost a decade. The food is good, service is good, but the portions are a little small and the prices are high. They charged me $9.50 for this tiramisu 😭 (see pics). I don't do well with gluten so I can't visit all the time anyways but it's good to come here once in a while if you want to splurge.

Debra Boyda

Waitress had too many tables to care for, she worked very hard! Food was fantastic I had the steak sandwich because besides gluten-free pasta with plain tomato sauce and salads that's all a Celiac can order. I also asked for the toast to be on a side dish but it was on top of my vegetables so I had to take half my vegetables off and throw them away because they were contaminated with molecules of gluten. However the cocktails and food I was able to eat was the best I've had in a long time.

Abisaac Saraga

To be honest I didn't see the difference between this Pronto location and it's regular location that used to be at West Edmonton Mall. Still the same great decor. Someone seated us and took our order from the table. Food was delicious. Service was great. Gluten free options available

Jenna Fleet

Amazing food and service! Have gluten free pasta and pizza available and seem very educated about cross contamination. Would highly recommend!

Nicole Scherger

Gluten free pizza is delicious. You know when someone puts love into your food, this is true for Canadian choice! Great cheese, sauce, toppings ratio. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great gluten free pizza. 🍕

Omar Fayad

Been eating here for years. Always have good pizza. Quality ingredients. Never a disappointment. They also have the best gluten free pizza you can find. And the wings are great. Reasonably priced and good service.

Courtney Pempeit

Panini's is amazing, their gluten free pasta is eggless which is great for vegans or allergies. I love the penne Primavera with Kalamata olives added. Their service is amazing, I've loved every single server I've had so far. I highly recommend going if you love pasta!

skygazer T

My favourite place to go to whenever I crave pasta. They also have gluten-free Pasta. Must try their Tiramisu as well. Their service is amazing, family-owned business.

Rolando Inzunza

We were lucky to go opening night and were blown away. They accommodated allergies and gluten-free needs fabulously. They had a wine list that complimented all budgets. The food was fabulous as was the service. It was a beautiful experience.

Clinton Blais

Spectacular food, great for gluten free restrictions,they make everything fresh, including GF pasta
