Top 19 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Victoria

Mariam Star

We went for lunch. The pasta was delicious, and they have a nice variety and gluten-free options. The mussels and chorizo were excellent, very recommended! Friendly staff and fresh and yummy food. Will repeat for sure.

Amazing food, very friendly and accommodating service, and the vibe is incredible - especially when the band is in the house.I don't know what they put into the focaccia bread, but if go there and pay full pop for the bread alone. It's like pastry - a little crisp on the outside, delightfully fluffy inside, and the dusting of salt flakes...magic. When I say the food is amazing, I mean the food is AMAZING (the 'Sophia' is as tantalizingly delicious as its namesake). Extra points for the gluten free pasta option!

The pizza is awesome, and really great late night. Gluten free is good too with a tasty crust! Cross contamination can be a thing if you're celiac so heads up. Its so good that its often very busy which means orders can take a while and we now go and pickup because delivery was always taking too long. We still keep going back though cuz its 👌 super tasty.

They don't have many gluten free options. I ordered and was assured that the kitchen will take care. I got sick later that night as I have celiac disease. So care was not taken.

My wife ordered gluten free, she was served gluten. She is a celiac. Unacceptable. No apology from the server or manager. The item was also left on the bill. I honestly can’t believe this is how this restaurant operates.

We had the most incredible experience at Il Covo Trattoria in Victoria for a joint celebration of Mother’s Day and my 22nd birthday, made all the more memorable thanks to our amazing server, Willis. From start to finish, Willis went above and beyond to make our evening feel special and personal. He surprised us with a complimentary drink and a delicious birthday dessert on the house, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His charming personality, genuine compliments, and fantastic menu knowledge made us feel completely at ease and well taken care of. Every recommendation he made was spot-on — from cocktails to mains to dessert. Not only was the service 10/10, but the food and drinks were phenomenal. The team also did an excellent job accommodating gluten-free options, which we deeply appreciated. Willis truly elevated our celebration and gave us a night we won’t forget. Thank you for making it so special. Highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

The only slight complaint was from my senior parents. The temperature inside was too cold. It was January and sat next to a fireplace. The waitress who was AMAZING tried her best to turn the heat up. It was just a drafty area. My daughter, who can't handle much gluten, was very nicely provided with cucumbers and tapanade for her bread course. My parents both have allergies and were informed during each course that the items were both shellfish and tree nut free. Our server seemed very sincere, and the table maintenance was impeccable. The food was great as always. If you understand great Italian food and the way to approach the menu, you'll be in for a treat!

Gluten free pizza was pretty good! The pasta, on the other hand, was terribly over salted. Service was quick and pleasant.

If you need inclusive catering options for a diverse set of dietary requirements, Romeo's has got you covered. We were able to use both the Hillside and Langford location to cater our staff events, and I can't begin to tell you how thorough and thoughtful the management team at both restaurants was in ensuring we had a meal for everyone's needs. Celiac-safe, diabetic, vegans, onion allergies - you name it. They had a solution for everything. This is so challenging to find in a restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about the care taken by these teams. Thank you Romeos! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

The peach Bellini is amazing! But not good for gluten free options- they don't have labels on the menu and doesn't look like that many things could be made gluten free

First time at Cafe Brio ever, you really are never sure what to expect at a new restaurant, what I can share is Wow I went with a friend and we sampled the duck, olives and lamb rib appetizers...all exceptional with lots of flavor and even though the online menu didn't show the full list of drinks they had some great original cocktails. For dinner I had a half order of Mushroom Risotto(texture exceptional lots of mushrooms and a interesting addition purple corn flowers) and a half order of the daily special Rock Fish. Alot of thought goes info the presentation and flavors in each dish. I took me 15 min to decide on what too eat and I cant wait to return. P.S. they have gluten free options and my friend was also extremely happy with his selections. Good job 👍 guys kudos to the chef and great service from the servers.

9 people well accommodated Pork shoulder was very good, lamb was also very good. Will be back great waitress. Need more gluten-free options would be the only problem a few options not clearly identified waitress very helpful.

Unfortunately Milestones has significantly reduced their gluten free/friendly menu options. Their main menu items are pricey but the portions are generous. The serving staff don't seem well informed about their wine or menu options but willing to check. However, the food is always consistent and the Milestones on the Victoria BC inner harbour has lovely views and a great, full sun patio in the nice weather. Of course, no one beats a Milestones bellini.

MAGNIFICO! 🌟🌟🌟 OK, I need to add to this review! As a person who has to eat gluten free due to severe allergy, can I just say that I had a WONDERFUL meal and would definitely go back! I had the polenta that was creamy, flavorful and very satisfying. The house salad was very fresh, crisp and perfectly dressed. For dessert I ordered the flourless chocolate cake, which for most GF'ers (eye-roll) is what EVERY restaurant offers as a gluten free option (unless its creme brulee or sorbet)!!! However THIS was not your ordinary flourless chocolate cake! It was moist, light, not overly sweet and more like cake than the usual "slightly soft chocolate bar" texture. It was perfectly paired with a home-made chocolate hazelnut gelato. Seriously, I find myself wistfully thinking about that cake and am tempted to go back even though we just ate there to get desert!!

Laura Gibbs

Amazing experience tonight thanks to our server, Hailey. I have a gluten allergy but the menu doesn't indicate which items could be modified to accommodate this. She was very knowledgeable and also checked with the kitchen on the holiday specials. Food was fabulous.

Ryan Gillard

Some of the best pizza we have ordered in Victoria. Fast delivery and the gluten free non dairy cheese option was Amazing
