Lenna Lecturas

The best gluten-free pizza I've ever had! All very delicious

Camille Mongeau

Such a good vibe, very calm even though it’s close from the main streets and board walk. The owner and staff are so kind. And the food, wow so so good. We tried the pizza, it was like an authentic Italian pizza. **they have pizza and pasta that are gluten free !!

Maria Leal-Bruce

Divine food with many gluten-free options!

Luceli Puerto

Good option for eating gluten-free pizza and pasta.

Rara

Gluten-free pasta and pizza. A chic atmosphere and the service is of a high standard👌 Even the chef came to ask how it tasted. Beautiful, authentic atmosphere. It looked like a movie.

Carlotta Mayer

Very nice Italian restaurant! Friendly and efficient service. I think the owner knows how to set the mood in the evening! The place is pleasant outdoors. They make gluten-free pasta, so that's nice. The salads, however, aren't amazing.

Nia Roberts

Appreciated the option of gluten-free pasta. Super delicous and great service!

Ashley Nichole

7pm Live music. Food is good! More paying for the ambiance than anything. Vegan and vegetarian options. Gluten free options.

Lydia C.

We came around 1pm and the place was almost empty. They accommodate glutenfree (Pasta Option and a couple of meats). Service was okay but the food took forever and was mediocre. Wouldn’t come back.

Alessandro Taverna

Very delicious pizzas and suitable for celiacs. Everything is gluten free

They have homemade gluten free gnocchi which was a plus for me. Pesto was really good and I added grilled shrimp which was flavorful. My partner had the sea bass and he was a fan. Service was great and host explained the dishes in detail. Ohh and the chocolate cake was good too.

Carlos Sosa

Place close to 5th (1 and a half blocks) Italian food 🤌🏽 great flavor, quiet and good to go with the family. HIGHLIGHTED that it has gluten-free pasta options. The seafood, fish, and octopus dishes are very good. Pizza good, 1 is ok for 2 people or children. Very good portions and they bring vegetables that complement the dishes well. Great service, very attentive at all times.

Kelsey Leonard

Great spot! My server was celiac herself and explained everything that was safe. Almost all pastas can be done gf with gf penne or linguine and most of the apps and larger plates are gf too. I enjoyed the burrata caprese and gf carbonara. Highly recommend!

Emilie Haugen

Great gluten free pizza. I read from other reviews they only have gluten free pizza on Fridays, so I texted them on WhatsApp to confirm before I went there. Love the atmosphere as well. The only thing is I wish they used fresh pineapple in stead of canned.

Cara Carroll

Nice atmosphere, food was great and they had gluten free options. The lava cake made with almond flour is a must!

If you’re a real pizza lover, I’d suggest giving this place a miss. We ordered two Diavola pizzas, one on a gluten-free base with vegan cheese and one regular. The gluten-free base came at an additional 100 pesos, which is quite steep, but I was curious to try it. Unfortunately, what arrived was more like a 1mm-thin tostada with a small amount of melted vegan cheese, no tomato sauce, and just four slices of what seemed like very basic salami. It really didn’t resemble a pizza in any way and was sent back straight away. Thankfully, we weren’t charged for it, which I appreciated. As for the regular pizza, it wasn’t much better. It looked like something from a very low-end all-inclusive buffet. The tomato sauce was unusually dark and definitely didn’t taste like San Marzano as advertised. The base was flat, undercooked, and lacked any real flavour or texture. On the plus side, the service was excellent. The waiter was kind, attentive, and very apologetic. I really felt for him, as he did his best in a tough situation. As an Italian who has lived abroad for over 20 years, I’ve had pizza in all kinds of settings and don’t consider myself particularly picky. But sadly, this just didn’t come close to what I’d consider pizza, especially at these prices. Piola used to be great years ago, but something seems to have changed. I won’t be returning.

Some of the best spaghetti carbonara I've ever had..and it was gluten-free!

As a disclaimer, this may not be the fairest review, as I am writing this for 3 different visits. Our first was in 2023, with the 2nd in 2024, and the most recent one in June on 2025. Thus, my scoring is reflective of all 3 visits, which is a bit tricky, as our first 2 were much better than our last. This place is awesome, and serves Chicago-style Italian food. The decor and ambience are amazing, with the restaurant being nestled in an adorable semi-outdoor patio/terrace type area. It’s littered with vibrant plants, and has a romantic, hanging garland lights vibe. The food feels like Italian-American fare, and was absolutely delicious our first 2 visits. The portion sizes are enormous (1 entree will often feed 2), and they tend to pack bold flavors. The menu offers variety, without being huge or overwhelming. Each day has a special, which often tend to be the star of the night. Jesus was our waiter during our last visit, and he was attentive and fun. I think Christian is maybe their GM, and he offers a great mix of professionalism and entertainment. These folks seem to really care about taking care of their guests! The meals we had the first 2 times were excellent, wowed us, and my wife who has Celiac’s found GF options that kept her satisfied. The food was delightful. Unfortunately, the food this last time was pretty disappointing. The bread smelled and tasted a bit stale, the salad had half-sliced pears that we had to somehow rip apart, and both our entrees tasted kinda funky. To be quite fair, Jesus asked us if everything tasted okay, but we have a bad habit of not wanting to hurt people’s feelings, and always seem to say “yes”. I have no doubt that they would have replaced our meals if we had asked, but we hate being “those people” (I guess I am “that person” in writing this review…). My wife even felt like she got a bit sick from the food, so I’m not exactly sure what was going on back there in the kitchen that night. We will definitely give this place another chance in the future, and are hopeful that our experience was just an off night for one of the chefs. We’d still very much recommend this place, and bet that our next experience will resemble our first 2 visits :) Sadly, I took no photos, so this review is text only.

Great food. Very friendly service. Gluten free pasta for our daughter. Taste was perfect. We went there twice and we would come again anytime. Keep ongoing guys, you are doing a great job. Thanks for the experience.

Thank you to our server Dino for understanding our diet restriction and making sure our dinner was prepared Gluten free, and thank you to Pane e Vino for understanding cross contamination.We enjoyed our filet minions, gorgonzola plate, drinks and breathtaking Sea Views!

Ramona Pfanzelt

Wow, wow, wow! Rarely have I had such good service! Sangria was extremely good (tip: order the 1/2 liter straight away, it's cheaper 😉). Pizza bread was amazing too! Ravioli too! Gluten-free pasta is also served. Every heart beats faster 🙏🏼

I've been meaning to try La Spezia since I first walked past and caught the scent... For a second I was transported to a street in New York! Now, I freely admit to some pretty stringent standards in my choice of pizza. (I will also admit to having settled into a slightly defeatist attitude in my eternal quest.) I ordered take out on my first visit to La Spezia, consisting of a caprese salad and a mushroom/olive pizza. Simple and mind-blowing... The crust was thin, light and chewy, perfectly yeasty and a prime example of high quality pizza dough. I do not have a celiac allergy, but I am usually affected by gluten. I did allow many hours to pass whilst I polished off the majority of the pie. Fantastic all around! Flavor, texture and positive physical response gets them five stars. This was for a take away order! My caprese salad was lovely. Seemingly an heirloom tomato or something... I like more basil, but that's a non issue. I am definitely going back AND I'm forsaking any other pizza places I've tried in Puerto Escondido. La Spezia hit the spot!

Brandon Oscarson

We love this place! The food is always amazing, the executive chef visits with the patrons, and the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is on point. They handle gluten-free and dairy free with extra special care. Definitely check La Dolce Vita out!

Amy H

Everything was absolutely delicious! They even had gluten free pasta and pizza options! The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Laura Cano

Everything was so good. They had gluten free pasta, handmade pasta, pizza was amazing.

Jane Betts

Excellent food. Gluten free options which is very important for us.

Lars Hepso

Amazing experience at Il Forno Cabo! My Fiance is Gluten Free and they have multiple amazing noodle options. Highly recommend!

Yasmine

Portions were large and they gave plenty parmesan and bread for takeout. They do have gluten free options. I was able to get my mom, who is celiac, a great meal. Gluten free restaurants are hard to find so I'm hoping if I type gluten free (gf) this will pop up for others.

Ms Alhadi

To all my Celiac and Gluten free friends. YESTERDAY we went to La Dolce vita and enjoyed our meal very much. I had the gluten free spaghetti with marinara sauce and it was delicious and so clean. I also had the salmon with chives and olive oil and it was also delicious. Our server Alberto was so kind and so understanding. If I can give them 10/10 I would .

Ana Iglesias

Nice gluten free pasta with a variety of gluten free sauces. The staff is knowledgeable about cross contamination.

Anthony Monioudis

From the moment we walked to the time we left, service was impeccable. Entrees arrived hot and tasted as freshly made. Portions on the large side, so if you want dessert, come super hungry or pace yourself. Pri rs were reasonably. Gluten free options available were marked on the menu. Staff very knowledgeable. Fettuccine Puntanesco (GF penne substituted) and Spagehti Carbonara were ordered with Wedge Salads. Table bread complimentary and brought GF tortilla chips as well as an attentive courtesy. Totally two thumbs up!

K. Hope

Hole in the wall place that has super thick pizza so if you want bread come here. If you're gluten free it's a thinner crust but still delicious. Deff where locals go and they also deliver. Check your food when leaving because they accidentally gave us one pizza that wasn't gluten free. It looked like it had two crusts as a base to hold all the toppings. Mussel pizza was the besttttttt

Alex Osolky

It was a very romantic Italian restaurant. I had the gluten-free pasta, which I was very grateful that there was an option for. In addition, we ordered the cantaloupe prossuito as a starter. I am a vegetarian and my partner is not, they kindly gave it to us on separate plates so that we were able to both enjoy the starter. The service was amazing. Our waiter was very polite, and was always there to assist us. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Anaid Márquez

We were looking for a place to have dinner, we went to read the menu and we fell in love, not only because of the large number of dishes but because they have gluten-free pasta options. They have a very beautiful garden, with tables under a tree, the garden is illuminated perfectly to enjoy a nice evening. We ordered a bolognese pasta and a frutti di mare, both were very delicious, the portions are large. They also have good drink options, we opted for a wine and clericot. The special touch was provided by the live music.

Adrian Popescu

European style restaurant. Somewhat small portions, significantly higher than average cost. The waiter was friendly, spoke English and helped with a gluten free dish.

Susy P

We arrived at the place after staying 5 nights at the NYX hotel and they gave us a complimentary dinner at the restaurant. Excellent place to taste Italian food and other options, in the case of my husband Gluten free with the excellent attention and advice of Fredy who consulted each thing we ordered to see if he could eat them without harming his health, it was a beautiful night, since My husband had a birthday and they were kind enough to give him a small birthday cake! Thank you to everyone who made this evening an unforgettable night, for the attention and the exquisiteness of your dishes!

Joanne Gallop

Great pasta with gluten free options - zucchini or rice noodles.Fun vibe near the central plaza - we sat on the front patio and enjoyed the street entertainment without being right in the middle of it.

Maria Ballesteros

Very tasty Italian restaurant All the pastas are very good and the fish They have a gluten-free spaghetti option. Vegan and vegetarian options

Luis Gerardo Balcázar Ochoa

It is a nice and quiet place. They brought us a very delicious pumpkin carpaccio. We then ordered a Heriloom Tomato Salad which was delicious, very fresh. We also ordered a gluten-free pizza, 1/2 roasted mushrooms and 1/2 diavola, both very delicious, I liked the mushroom one better. The truffle macaroni was good. And the drinks, grapefruit with lychee, and raspberry with blueberry, very well done.

Jay Fry

Outstanding steak with gluten-free Gorgonzola sauce and gluten free pasta!

Ada Cleghorn

We went to eat with a craving for pasta (I eat gluten-free) and I was pleasantly surprised by how exquisite the gluten-free pasta was, cooked perfectly, al dente. Every time I have a craving for pasta, I won't hesitate to come to Santino's.

Victoria Steed

Amazing, authentic Italian food - best you'll find in Mérida or anywhere! Great gluten free options, including pasta. The food is made with love.

Daniela Canela

Incredible pasta and they treated us very well. 🙌🏼 If you are craving a delicious pasta in sayulita, this is the right place. It has gluten free options too. My favorite: Cacciatore 🤩 The place is comfortable, romantic and pleasant. The day I went they told us that they only received cash.

Adriana Valencia

Highly recommended! We loved the place, the food, and the atmosphere... the service and gluten-free pasta option were also excellent.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday. Service was largely disorganized (servers kept bringing over dishes that we did not order). We had the seasonal fruit platter, eggs benedict, and Milo’s eggs. The main dishes arrived cold, and tasted subpar. The tortilla in the eggs were flour tortillas (instead of corn tortillas per our request to accommodate for gluten allergy). Finally, when the bill arrived, the server included additional tips without our consent, which is totally unacceptable. I left the place feeling cheated and ripped off.

Steven Belucz

I was looking for a place for my partner where he could have a gluten-free meal as he's a coeliac, and I found this lovely restaurant. We walked over fron our hotel and managed to get a table straight away. The hostess was kind and looked for an English menu straight away. Our waiter spoke English and understood our needs and served us quickly. I ordered the Calamari, which was disappointing. Thinly sliced, which would've been ok if they didn't overcook it. It was tough and chewy,but the sauce that came with it was delicious. My partner ordered the portobello mushrooms gluten-free, and he was a happy bunny. That looked good and delicious and had a lottle taste of it, too. As for my main, I ordered the meatball with pasta, which was tasty. The only thing i wouldxsay they could use a bit more sauce as the meatball is large and very dense. Ournother dish was a salmon with capers, and it was a beautifully cooked salmon, but apparently, the mashed potatoes weren't gluten-free, which we didn't find out until the food was delivered to our table. Overall, it's a good experience considering we don't soeak Spanish, and they really looked after us. Definitely recommend this place to try if you're in the area. .
