This was our first time here and we had 2 Celiacs and one gluten free person and we were so impressed with the gf pizza and risotto balls. Crust was one of the best we have had so we ordered another one to go! Service was amazing and server was friendly and informative. Can’t wait to go back.

My partner and I always come for special occasions and have a wonderful experience. The service is always great, we’ve had a couple great servers who have been very personable and make the experience that much better, and the food is amazing. I am celiac (needing gluten free), and I always appreciate when the complimentary gluten free focaccia is brought to the table, and it’s delicious! I also am obsessed with their chicken penne pasta, highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t!

I am celiac and the gluten free pizza was delicious. The best I've eaten in a long time.

Let me start by saying I knocked a star off for atmosphere because we were the only diners inside!!! Rebecca and the team looked after us brilliantly. The food choice for gluten-free diners is really good and, for those of us that eat anything, I was in heaven!! I failed to finish off the pizza crusts, as delicious and light as they were, as the bowl of seafood chowder I shared with my wife as a starter ended up 90% in my belly and I was a little full!! That chowder was better than any we'd ever tasted in the finest seafood restaurants in Boston or Seattle... The pizza sauce on the Mediterranean Masterpiece (bold title, but it lived up to it) was deliciously full of depth and flavour and the distribution of toppings was perfect - every mouthful was a delight. We are so happy we ate at Little Christo's tonight and just hope we get to eat there again in the future.

Well must say first time there with my girlfriend the waitress was just great looked after us made sure everything was as we ordered drinks food etc Im gluten-free and its one of the best pizzas ive had i took extra sauce and its very good sauce. We both loved it.

Such a fun place to eat. Celiac safe (in my experience) and most of the menu can be made gf. It tends to be noisy so if you're not into that kind of thing it's something to be aware of. It's a cozy spot and the service is always top notch. Once a dish wasn't what I'd hoped and the server inquired why I wasn't eating much. I didn't want to complain but after I told them I wasn't into it they brought a free dessert after offering to replace the whole meal (I was already full so I didn't want another). The one time I didn't love what I got they more than made up for it with the service. That same day I ate a bunch of another persons pasta and theirs was excellent, I think what I had was a one off and have gone back with 0 issues since.

As a person with celiac disease, it’s hard to come across safe places for me to eat. I was pleasantly surprised to find Vines come up suggested for gluten free options. I decided to check it out with a friend of mine for supper yesterday and felt the experience was above and beyond what I anticipated! They seemed knowledgeable when I asked about gluten containing items such as sauces, and double checked with the kitchen to make sure. Mostly everything on their menu is able to be modified to be celiac friendly. I had the Cajun fettuccine and it was so delicious and flavourful! Was also pleasantly surprised when then came out with some warm gluten free bread and butter as I was not expecting to be that accommodated at all. Also had their peach sangria and it was very very tasty! I will definitely be returning to try some other menu items and am happy to recommend to fellow celiacs ☺️

We ate there twice while on vacation in Yarmouth. Very good pizza. I highly recommend the Donair Pizza, and they even have a gluten-free version, which was amazing!

Robin Cambell

Enjoyed a lovey family meal at Bitar’s this evening. Lots of Gluten-Free options. I had the GF shish taouk plate. Hummus was exceptional, salad, chicken, rice, and garlic sauce were all sooo tasty. Value was great, and the new renovations also look lovely! Highly recommend for anyone, but this one gets an extra-special recommendation for the gluten free folks.

Amanda Benoit

Best Gluten free pizza by far !

John van Gurp

So happy to see accommodation for gluten-free and vegan diners. The servers were top-notch, knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly as well.

Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers. Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified. We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered. The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed . Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

Got stranded in Antigonish with car trouble and walked over to check out the pizza here. Wow! One of the best gf pizzas I've had! It says it's a cauliflower crust ("gluten gone crust") but this didn't taste like cauliflower, just thin, crispy and delish. I had pepperoni and hot peppers with cheese, all of it delicious and I feel great! I'm always nervous in small local places like this but this was a big win! I did ask if they're careful about cross contamination and he seemed surprised and said of course. Great friendly, quick service too!

Outstanding gluten free pizza, the best anywhere!

Extremely disappointing. My family and I ate here about a month ago and the food was great, we were so excited to come back tonight but unfortunately it was a very different experience this time around. The hostess was super sweet, but our waitress came and didn’t even introduce herself. Just “what would you like for drinks”. I don’t even know that she said hi. It was just abrupt and unwelcoming. We then ordered the arancini as an appetizer for my daughter and it was frozen in the middle. We let our server know and she replaced them. No big deal. They were busy and I get that mistakes happen. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes for our mains. Which again, they’re busy. I get it and it wouldn’t have bothered me to wait if the food was good. But the food finally came and my daughter’s pasta had very obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time and my partner picked a large chunk of onion peel out of one of his onion rings. When he asked for more ketchup it didn’t come. But the worst of all was my pizza. I ordered gluten free crust which I understand comes frozen but there’s no way anyone thawed it or even attempted to. It was soggy and uncooked when it arrived. I could tell from first glance that it wasn’t cooked and as a server myself, I’m not sure how our server didn’t send it back the minute she saw it. They clearly slapped on some toppings and threw it in the oven on broil so it at least looked a little brown on the top but the bottom was completely uncooked. I didn’t eat it and I didn’t even bother to complain. No one asked why I didn’t eat it, if it was good.. nothing. Incredibly disappointing. We won’t be back.

Ordered a gluten free pizza and my son loved it! Being outside of a city it’s hard to find good quality pizza that’s gluten free. I find this location takes pride in making their food! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good gluten free or non gluten free pizza or food!

Brian Dorion

Good pizza. They have gluten free crusts which is a big plus for me. I thought the pizza sauce was really good.

Sophie Putney

my family ate here the other day. i ordered the gluten free chicken pasta, and was very specific about my celiac allergy. our waitress brought it out quickly and i was very excited! unfortunately after my first bite i found fettuccini at the bottom of the bowl, which is the glutinous pasta they originally offer for the dish. i alerted her of the mistake, and i was given a brand new dish and it was paid for on the house. she apologized profusely for the error. despite the mistake, it was DELICIOUS. my family also enjoyed their meals, and their allergies were well taken care of.

Loved this pizza, they have gluten free options and are fast on take out orders.

Best gluten free pizza ever, my husband was also very impressed with his meat lovers pizza. Very friendly and prompt delivery, pizza was still hot.. 🍕 Thank you Pizzatown 😊

Angela Gray

Found this place with our noses when we walked the boardwalk a cold rainy day. Inviting atmosphere, friendly and engaging staff and warm comforting pasta. Gluten free penne with cream sauce was excellent as was the penne with Bolognese sauce. Finished the meal with an Americano and Tiramisu (to die for). If we ever get back to Halifax we will definitely stop in again!

Wade Fralic

Delicious pizza with good gluten free crust. The food is as good as it has always been.

Robbie Neil-Young

I would be very cautious for those with a gluten allergy ordering gluten free crust.

Great pizza, one of the best gluten free crusts.

Scott & Terry Nicholson

We were staying at Inn on the Lake and they gave some recommended places that delivered. We called and they delivered it too hot to eat still, very impressive! Both the gluten free and regular pizzas were one of the better pizzas we've had. Recommended
