Amazing gluten free menu and service. These folks know what they are doing! GF food served on different coloured plates. So many pasta choices, pizzas and desserts. GF calamari, bruschetta and so much more. So happy Atly helped me find it ❤️

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.

Mariana Santos

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

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!

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.

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

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Claire Branigan

We had Sabs as our server and she was so lovely and helpful with my gluten free restriction and found me something that I would enjoy!

K E

Superb gluten free Italian options. Every city needs a Scaddabush!

Madison Sheedy

Great food, gluten free options and Alberto was Fantastic!

Beth Green

The most incredible food and drinks. The GF ravioli is seriously delicious and the gluten free cauliflower “Enzo” pizza is to die for. Fantastic GF options. Our server, Nick, was beyond amazing - kind, professional, and fun. We can’t wait to go back.

Preeti Dhillon

We visited on a Friday evening with reservations for a group of 5. The restaurant’s ambiance is nice. The menu options include vegan and gluten free. With respect to service, as the restaurant was not busy, we felt rushed during our experience. Immediately upon ordering apps, we were pushed to order mains and felt the waitress staring at us repeatedly as we required more time. The food was okay, as my gluten free pasta was undercooked. My family member ordered the salmon and the veggies were quite charred and burnt. The vegan Caesar salad was good and they had options for vegan Parmesan. Overall average experience

We make a couple of trips from Toronto to Niagara a year and like so many other reviewers, we have seen the Lakehouse Restaurant but never stopped in. This time we made a conscious decision to stop on our way home for lunch and are we ever glad we did!! Obviously the location and views are stellar. However what made this experience so special was the food and the service. Our server, Ashley, could not have been nicer or more attentive even with it being so busy. In fact, all the staff we interacted with were so nice and helpful. The food was excellent!! My husband had the lamb burger and I had the goat & beet salad with the gluten free bread plate. The Lakehouse offers little desserts which were perfect to top off the lunch....we highly recommend the skors or the dark chocolate, raspberry, orange desserts. Reservations are recommended although we were accommodated without one. The atmosphere was so relaxed and enjoyable and we cannot wait to go back.

Sarah Beal

Amazing experience here, the food, the drinks, the customer service and attentiveness from the waitstaff is a breath of fresh air! Our server Brie was a complete sweetheart and took outstanding care of us, making sure that my food allergies (celiac disease) were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, fun, lively atmosphere with delicious food and a waitstaff who cares! Your food allergies are safe here, you won’t have to worry about a thing!

Becca Kellner

4.5. Terroni is consistently a reliable and delicious Italian meal. This location has an amazing patio that stays open for as long as possible. We went on a very busy Saturday night and it was good but everything took a long time and the servers were overwhelmed. They’re great at accommodating allergies (they have a seperate menu for dairy and gluten free items) however, they don’t like making amendments to the dishes(nothing new, old Terroni rule). I always LOVE the funghi salad and the pastas (with dairy and no amendments) are great.

Sierra

We used to come here all the time - and it was great. Then last year we went and I noticed the gluten free pizza did not taste the same as it had. Took a break from Caro, then decided to give it another go, and it is disgusting. The gluten free dough *was* the best in the city (I’ve been gluten free for 10 years and tried many places), and it appears they changed the dough. Not sure why they would change it because the last 2 times it has been horrible. Couldn’t even finish a slice. Very disappointing! Will not be returning, and I no longer will be recommending Caro as a gluten free option

Leah Armstrong

Marley was the sweetest!!!!!! And we had THE BEST GLUTEN free pizza I have EVER had. 100% 10 stars

Paula Terres

The food excellent. We ordered two dishes of amatriciana pasta and they were excellent. One of the pastas we ordered was gluten-free (handmade) and it is one of the best gluten-free pastas we have tried. The service was very attentive and the restaurant is very nice and had a very comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

shira hetzroni

We came on Friday night. The restaurant was full capacity and with all that the service was top-notch and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Btw, the gluten-free pizza is the best one I've ever had.

Sabrina

I have come back to this restaurant multiple times. The service is amazing, the owner is wonderful and the food is delicious! They have a lot of gluten free options and I think it just adds to how wonderful this place is. They have a view is stunning as well and I highly recommend it for a date night or intimate dinner.

Victor Corzato

Traditional neopolitan pizza in a relaxed and comfy atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. Well made cocktails. Gluten free options as well which is nice to see.

Levi LaFonte

Great serive and atmosphere. Had gluten free pizza with extra buffalo cheese and it was pretty meh. Heard great things and was a bit disappointed based on expectations. Could of just been an "off" night in the kitchen not sure. The pasta was amazing though.

Karyn Tindall

Love this place. Gluten free pizza Sofia was outstanding

Joy Walker

Made a reservation for a table for 7 at 5:30pm on a Wednesday to celebrate a friend's retirement. I let the server know that 2/7 of the party needed gluten free options, which were noted on the menu. Once our party all arrived, ordered & were enjoying cocktails, she brought out 2 plates of bread with olive oil. I asked if either were gluten free, to which she replied no. I asked if she could bring a plate of gluten free & she said it would take 15 minutes, suggesting to me our food was on its way, so I declined. After 1¾hr, I had to ask where our order was. Of course, in 2 minutes. We finally got our meals at close to 8pm. Yes, they were busy but we didn't order anything that required long periods of cooking - most of our mains were salads. Very disappointing experience. Won't be back.

Deborah Small

GLUTEN FREE options available!!! Service was fast and friendly. The portions were large, came quickly, and were delicious!This is a place where the chef takes pride in the food they serve. Love it.

Sara M

The food was excellent. The Caesar salad is really good. Lick the plate good. I had a gluten free pizza and it actually had a crunchy crust and dough like interior... Which never happens! Highly recommend that. Service on a Saturday night was snooty and hard to come by... But they did the job and it was busy as heck. However I did watch an empty table for four sit empty for about 30-45 minutes... While there were people lined up out the door. Interesting. Interior is nice looking and lots of room between tables which is appreciated. Less snooty like service would be even better... felt rushed. But the food was fab. Steak was also had, all plates were cleaned!!

Theresa Hanley

What a charming and beautiful place. Such a rich history, well preserved. We were grateful for gluten free options and vegan options so our whole group had a nice meal. We enjoyed all of the original art and glass. Our server Cole handled our giant group of students with grace, professionalism and skill. We really enjoyed our time at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Jaime Boudreau

Food, service and atmosphere is fantastic! I went here with a group of 6 for dinner. Our server was great and the food was delicious! They also were very accommodating to someone in our group who is celiac and had lots of choices for her.

Marc Wilson

Fantastic with celiac recommendations, very knowledgeable staff and always fantastic food. Love this place.

Austin Jabari

Very nice restaurant at a great location. Service from all the staff was excellent! The food was also very good, the gluten free pizza was outstanding (definitely one of the best I’ve had), and the carbonara was also fantastic!

Ben Switzer

Amazing gluten free crust. It’s not pretty, but the flavour is great. Rare to be able to enjoy an authentic pizza with GF crust that doesn’t make you wanna cry. Great spot - would recommend to anyone. Oh and also, loved the music. Nice indie playlist at a reasonable volume that had me feeling super chill, and even bobbing my head. Thank goodness no overloud top 40 🙌

heather mcfadden

We dine at Il Fornello Ajax often. Food is consistently delicious. Service is always amazing as are the staff. So glad this restaurant is located in our home city. Great place to eat. Gluten free and vegan options too if you have friends or family with any dietary restrictions. Can book reservations online on TBDINE or Can order for pickup or delivery as well Always a great experience here.

Sarah Freia

As someone who is gluten free, and who often tries to minimize my dairy consumption, I am appreciative of Defina’s offerings! This pizzeria has gluten free bases, as well as well-thought out vegan toppings (they do change up). The gluten free dough is very good. It’s more fluffy as opposed to flat (I prefer this Neapolitan style of pizza). What I like most about Defina is their creative toppings. There really is something for everyone here! You want a regular margarita? Got it. You want a lot of cheese? Got it. You want chicken wings? Somehow - got it! The service has also always been friendly, attentive, and willing to talk me through my dietary needs. I also like the more intimate atmosphere, which makes it perfect for a date (friendship, romantic, or even self-dating). For a creative pizzeria that caters to multiple dietary restrictions, head over to Defina!

Weronika Piasta

Brought our friend here for a birthday dinner. Pleasantly surprised with how many gluten free dishes they had available for an Italian restaurant. Everyone really enjoyed their food, it was delicious. Service was great for how busy they were on a Tuesday night. Waitress was attentive and quick. Will probably be back again.

Cindy Hargreaves

Great service! Good gluten free options!

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Matthesa Gregg

Food is great! And they have many options for gluten and dairy free dietary restrictions.
