Top 1 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Enjoy in Quintana Roo

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 🙏🏼

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

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

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!

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

We had dinner here the last night of our honeymoon at the resort. Things we loved about it: - the food: we're gluten-free and the server made it easy to work with the chef to craft almost anything on the menu gluten-free including a beautiful and delicious antipasto plate! - the drink cart! Gilberto made a fabulous old fashioned and shared which ingredients he made from scratch - live music - the overall ambiance Things we'd recommend they change: - while we loved having the live music and it was songs we loved too, it was WAY too loud. We were sat at a table near the entrance and almost right next to the musician. We should have asked to move. We could barely hear each other talking. - the lights for the wall art were extremely bright, which made the entire restaurant even brighter and not necessarily the dark, romantic Italian restaurant we had expected Overall, we'd recommend this place and look forward to going back!

We stopped for a late lunch. Excellent Margarites & Pina Coladas. The manager suggested the seafood fetticine special. The pasta was hand made with shrimp, clams and mussels. Its probably one of the best seafood pasta dishes we have ever had. A mahi mahi dish with a lemon sauce was also ordered. It was excellent. One of our party required gluten free. They couldn't have been more accommodating. We asked for cappicino. The manager suggested an expresso with a hazelnut liqueur. OMG...it was so good.

The gluten free pasta was great and Angel was a phenomenal server!

I wanted a pizza, I wanted home and I found it. An excellent Italian restaurant with quality ingredients. The service is fast, attentive staff. Fair quality/price ratio. For gluten-free choices, the chef personally intervened to help me. 🙏 Too bad about the long wait, better to book

Excellent food, excellent service. Humberto was friendly and helpful, he made my family’s lunch stop easy. This restaurant accommodates gluten-free diets and made chips especially for my husband that were 100% gluten free. We appreciate the staff’s attention to our family’s dietary needs and the kindness with which they delivered their services. Highly recommend! The margaritas were the only great ones I have had in my time in Cancun and Tulum. The kids’ lemonades were large fun glasses and our food was delicioso! English spoken easily as well as advice on taxis and getting around the island. Thank you Frida’s for a safe and comfortable dining experience.

This hidden gem is super sweet. Staff was attentive and courteous, the food is so delicious, portions are generous and the prices are right on! Affordable. It's located in a small, cute and quiet street behind the sports track and a couple blocks up from 5th Avenue. In front of PapaCharly is a Specialty store (where you can buy gluten free products, apple cider vinegar, flax...etc) PapaCharly also offers beer in case you were wondering but we went there for breakfast/ brunch, actually it was about 12pm, we enjoyed their smoothies. This place is a must!

I had a great pasta with meatballs. My wife needs gluten-free pasta which were not available, but the fried vegetables and made mashed potato for her. We will be back.
