Meli Sandell

Tanner

The gluten free crust was really good! Service definitely stole the show, Giacomo was charming and kind. The rest of the staff were also attentive to guests needs regardless of if it was their table or not. Really makes a difference in making it a great experience. Would definitely come back.

Best pasta joint in LA! Been coming here for over 20 years. When I discovered that they had GF options, I literally did a victory dance because I didn’t have to give up on one of my favorite places. I wish they’d make their tiramisu in a GF version…that’d make this place perfect.

Jenna Portela

Entire menu can be made gf and they do their best with cross contamination

Ray Ray

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

Mmmm! 💗 The Dough Room! My pizza was so tasty 🍕 I’ve been to a few pizza places with gluten free and this spot had a delicious gluten free crust! 🤤 I topped my pizza with alot of tasty toppings like, Olive oil Crème fraiche Onion Broccolini Garlic Mushrooms Black olives Arugula Herbs Basil SOOO GOOD I ate it for dinner & breakfast 😄😄

Food was amazing, great service! We had gluten free gnocchi, steak and ossobuco.

Linda Berger

We had take away. Gluten free pizza crust was good. Sauce was typical So-Cal bland. Spinach salad with balsamic salad dressing had an alarming amount of rosemary. My sautéd spinach had a hard piece of foreign matter in it, which hurt my tooth and ruined my meal. I shared a photo of the object with the manager and he stated that he only needed to reimburse me for the spinach as that was the only part of my food impacted. Clearly he is fine with foreign matter in his pricy food. Not a restaurant that I will return to.

The most amazing place for celiacs in the world

Clarissa Maloney

So good! As someone with celiac disease (gluten), this place was phenomenal! I had bruschetta and pasta!!! It's so amazing. I will be coming back. Loved this place. Separate GF menu, options on menu say "sub gluten free pasta / crust," for example.

Raj Singh

Good pizza. Celiac friendly if you let servers know. Family friendly

Marcel Fafard

Caffe Calabria is one of my new favorites. The gluten free pizza here is the best I've ever had. Amazing bar, and coffee roasting on site.

Lynette B

Absolutely fantastic! They have fresh gluten free pasta that is out of this world delicious. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 hours enjoying drinks, appetizers, salad, pasta and dessert. All gluten free and wonderful! The service is a perfect blend of attentive and allowing you to have your space. I have eaten here three time so far. I will be back anytime I am in Carmel. Did I mention fresh made gluten free pasta!!!

Jay Tkachuk

A wonderful gem of a place in Little Italy. A family business, with the proprietors giving you a taste of real Italian humor should you give them an opening (try ordering a dry cappuccino, lol). It’s rather small and fills up fast, so plan for waiting if you’re heading there for dinner. Worth it, though. We had the Frutti de Mare Linguini (special), Lobster Ravioli and Funghi & Salsiccia pizza. They have gluten free options. Highly recommend!

Pedro Ventura

The pasta is completely homemade and there are gluten-free options. It's okay, it's okay. The lasagna is the best they have, I recommend it

Malia Faith

Gluten free pizza

Peggy D

Delicious gluten free pasta

Charlie Ratcliffe

Lovely service and ambience. Delicious gluten free bolognese and roasted salmon.

Janet Duitsman

Lovely place, nice ambiance. I'm gluten free so I had a GF pizza which was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about their specialty beers etc. The on tap beers change weekly. I'll be going back!

Danielle

Me & my girlfriend had the loveliest dinner here. I found this place because they have gluten free pasta on the menu. They offer gluten free garlic fettuccine, which I appreciated so much because I cannot have gluten & have missed eating Italian food. I believe it is made in house. Our waiter was very personable & took my diet very seriously, even telling me what I can & cannot have. We had a caesar salad to start. I loved that they came to the table & freshly grated cheese & pepper. My scallops were cooked perfectly (it is so hard to find perfect scallops) & my girlfriend was impressed with her penne vodka & garlic fries. The only thing I would improve is my pasta was a little bit too al dente - probably needed another minute in the water because it was stiff. Otherwise my meal was amazing. Dessert was out of this world. We finished off with espresso & the chocolate raspberry mousse. I felt nostalgic & a bit emotional because I used to eat at restaurants like this all the time with my family, but have been unable to due to my unfortunate gluten free diet. The check came & I was surprised at how affordable it was. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Fino!

Too salty / too much sauce. We only ordered gluten free options and maybe their regular menus are fine. Their gluten free 'pasta' was, in fact, Korean starch noodle (for japchae). In fact they kind of warned it (they said it was 'sweet potato noodle' which wasn't wrong). The noodles stuck with each other and the texture didn't really go well with the pasta sauce. The Shrimp Scampi was super salty, the California Bowl and the pizza had too much sauce on it. I really loved their menu selections and had high expectations, so it was quite a disappointment. BTW, this place is a take out place with a single big table where you can also dine in.

John Martin

Love the Stinking rose, the food is always great, the service is top notch, and sitting on a busy San Francisco walkway soaking up the experience while feeding your face with garlic infused gluten is an experience all its own!

NOT celiac safe. they do have gluten-free options, but major cross contamination. Just a heads up!!

Shirleen Chen

Gluten free Italian food! Pasta pizza, Italian sandwiches

Steph G

The best gluten free pizza. They have the dough perfected! They will even make bread sticks gf for my son. I wish they had gf meatballs because they are amazing

Brooke Waters

10/10. Can’t wait to go back for lunch. I felt safe eating here and consider GG’s celiac safe. They took excellent care to prepare wonderful safe and vegetarian gluten free food for me.

Malia Faith

Gluten-free pasta is not celiac safe (shared pasta water). Entrees like the salmon can be made 100% gluten-free.

Gail Tyler

This is hands down the best ever gluten-free pizza I've ever had. If I didn't know any better, I would never have guessed!

Luciana P

Came here for dinner with friends and it was delicious! Tiramisu was amazing. The crust was good and it’s made on a pizza oven so. Some friends ordered their pasta and said it was good; there’s egg pasta options too. Just when we thought there wasn’t any Parmesan cheese, a lady came with the biggest bowl with ever seen and served us! They have gluten free options (both pasta and pizza) and even dairy free/vegan cheese options for pizza- which is a great option for lactose intolerant people. Only complaint is that they only had like one bathroom and it took forever for us to use it.

Kyra

The gluten free pasta and tiramisu were delicious! The service was also great. We’ll definitely come back next time we visit San Diego.

Ceboh Ndlovu

This place was great, the staff were attentive and kind. I ordered Seafood Fettuccine and it was amazing. My boyfriend is gluten free and he was catered for too!

Kendra Mellinger

Went here to celebrate a family birthday, with everyone eating gluten-free. Disappointed there was no gluten-free beer available. The mozzarella cheese fries appetizer took half an hour, and was strange—odd presentation with way too much cheese (it looked like cheese pie—which okay, who doesn’t love more cheese? but visually, it was unappetizing, not browned or bubbly, just a slab of melted cheese) and underneath, the fries were barely cooked. When we mentioned it to the server, she didn’t apologize or make it right—she told us the fries are baked that way in the oven since they don’t have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and they end up undercooked. Okay….Our pizza was good, but not enough sauce, and the sausage was crumbled instead of bite-sized pieces. The gluten-free vegan lasagna was delicious! But the slow service (it wasn’t crowded, but every step of service was slow) and “sucks to be gluten-free” attitude of the server and cook were disappointing. And the ‘80s pop music all night was not our thing.

Anita Baranowski

Really good gluten free pizza (Crust is tasty and has good texture and thickness) some gf desserts too!

Gregory Jenkins

Wow. Just wow. We just had an absolutely elite meal here. It's an unassuming spot, with a casual but cozy ambiance. Great for a date, celebration, or really any time you want a delicious plate of pasta. If they have the mushroom flan, start with that. It was savory, and flavorful. We had the gluten free version, but I'm sure the normal is excellent as well. I was impressed with the range of gluten free options, which is always appreciated for me (celiac). My partner had the crab and shrimp cream sauce with lemon linguini pasta, and she raved about it. I had the same linguini, but with the sausage saffron sauce, and loved it. The dessert menu had a number of decadent sounding options, we settled for thr ugly chocolate cake and the GF tiaramisu. The tiaramisu was so creamy it was almost a pudding - tasty, and melt in your mouth smooth. The ugly chocolate cake (that's what they call it) was lighter than I expected, rich, but kinda airy like a soufflé. Anyway, I can't say enough about this spot. It's a gem. If you want good pasta, this place delivers in spades.

Elizabeth Lascheid

Impasta is great. It is vegetarian or vegan depending on what you order and most is gluten free. The place is very clean and super cute. It is not huge, it is the perfect size. It is not fancy and it does not need to be. The prices are fair and the service is super nice and pretty fast. They have great vegan pasta and they have a cauliflower pizza that is super. You will love it. I love all their pizzas, they don't have a lot, but what they have is great. As to their pastas all are very good, but we love the kelp noodles--really try it. It is great. They have a few different sauces to choose from. We like the pink sauce. Their parmesan bread is the best. Get that. All of their salads are great. Mu favorite is the arugula salad. They do have proteins you can add to any pasta, salad or pizza. We like the chicken, the salmon and the bacon is so good. You will love this little place. Have fun.

Kirsten Townley

Love this pizza place! I don't even need to avoid gluten, but their gluten-free pizza is amazing! We get the No Kissing Tonight - pesto sauce, garlic,... and we add on cashews. The owner, Scott, is so hospitable and kind. His staff look happy to be there. Nice atmosphere, very clean, and good music playing!

Noha Arafa Delamesiere

One of the best vegan spots in LA, and one of my favorite spots in general. They have tons of gluten free options and their gluten free pizza is amazing! Staff is always, warm, friendly, & accommodating.

Barbara Parker

Delicious offerings. Tidy, clean, excellent service. So many gluten free options!

Mia Cudecki

Highly recommend for people with dietary restrictions. I had a gluten and dairy free pizza and it was great! It's also nice that they're open later than many places in the city.

Heather Richmond

One of my fav gluten free pizzas!

Marylou Lunsford

Yummy! They have a really good Gluten free 🍕! It’s hard to find gluten free pizza. Tried the Luau one and the pepperoni 🍕. If you buy a medium you can take the rest home for lunch. The service is good the staff is friendly. Our waiter Shawn was very nice. My friend bought two of their wine glasses that have the name on them. 👍 👍

Suzan Pourat

Unfortunately my family didn’t like their pizza. The dough was saggy and the cheese had a weird texture. They use the same oven to make pizza but they said that they were careful not to touch the regular pizza.

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Jessica Vaughn

Celiac accommodating

Jolene Theresa

TLDR: celiac friendly My celiac friend and I stopped by to try out their gluten free flatbread and she took half of hers to go which is highly uncommon. Most gf breads are like cardboard or rubbery but this flatbread tasted just like gluten bread! She didn't get sick so there was definitely no gluten in it but whatever it was, it was amazing! I ordered gluten full tortellini which looked and tasted like it was made in house and I was completely satisfied with my meal. We stopped by just as happy hour was ending and our waiter was quick to help us get some happy hour wine orders in before it was too late. The bathroom... it an experience. Like many cities, some locations work within their confines and RoVino got very clever. The restroom is a short walk outside the restaurant which at first seems so strange because they have someone walk you down to it. At the end of the block, tucked away you'll find a very clean little walk to a door with their logo. Type in the code and you enter a 1 stall restroom. It was so random but well done, I'll be talking about that little experience for a while.

Andrew Lutz

Highly recommend the halibut, shrimp, and crab, out of this world. One of the nicest restaurants I've ever been to. Beautiful views, right on the water. Complimentary valet service was excellent. Wait staff were kind and knowledgable; my fiancé can't have gluten or dairy and they expertly and carefully accomodated us. Will come again.

Jeff Short

It has become my favorite restaurant! The pizza was fantastic, I enjoyed the chewy, soft yet crunchy crust (the flower is flown in from Italy, it’s good for gluten-free people)! Salad and wine were top-notch as well ! Absolute Hidden gem of a restaurant!

Megan Gray

Great gluten and dairy free pepperoni pizza and Italian salad! The chef came out and talked to me to make sure everything was ok. Very friendly staff and fast service. I’ve been twice since our trip started, and hope to get a pizza to-go before we leave.
