Top 16 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Carlsbad

Just had an amazing GF Margarita Pizza here. Not only was it amazing the crust is homemade and has the texture a real crust! I also have. A garlic allergy with is really hard to make work at most pizza allots but here they were easily able to accommodate. The staff was so kind and diligently to be certain they checked on everything. So please!

If you are visiting carlsbad beach/village, this place deserves a visit. Their freshly made crust cooked to perfection per your requirements alone demands a visit. We ordered a thin crust crispy veg pizza and slices of pepperoni pizza. Really delicious garlic knots and a calzone is a must when you visit this place. You can customise the calzones. We ordered mozzarella and ricotta calzone. It was devoured in a blink of an eye. Also, great gluten free options and lots of beers to pick from. The only thing you have to make sure is that try not to visit this place over the weekends as it gets really crowded and has very limited seating options. There is no upfront parking. Wouldn’t call this place wheelchair friendly either. You might need to park a couple of blocks away or find a paid parking.

Gregorio's is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the cozy Italian villa ambiance set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. We visited on a Saturday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately! The handmade pizzas were a hit at our table — absolutely delicious — and the gluten-free pasta was hands down one of the best I've ever had. My husband loved the gnocchi. Everyone was raving about their meals! Our server was an absolute queen — charismatic, attentive, and made our night so much fun. She truly elevated the whole experience. The wine selection was fantastic as well, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine with great vibes and exceptional service, Gregorio's is the place to go! Can't wait to return.

264 Fresco is an absolute gem! We had the pleasure of sitting upstairs on the deck, and the views of the ocean were simply breathtaking. The ambiance was perfect—elegant, bright, and inviting, with a mix of stylish and homey accents that made us feel right at home. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and knowledgeable in gluten free options, making our experience even more special. The food was outstanding! As an Italian restaurant, Fresco 264 truly knows how to deliver. The wood-fired dishes were bursting with flavor! We also had a fantastic selection of appetizers, try the beef carpaccio and the meatballs! The drinks were on point, with a great variety of options to choose from. Whether you're looking for a cozy night out or a special occasion, Fresco 264 is the place to go. A note for families, the deck is always 21+ highly recommend!

We are staying at a local hotel evacuated from the airport fire. We hadn't eaten much in 48 hours and needed something good. Also having diet restrictions ( my husband and I are Gluten free) we are cautious about where we eat. This place was clean, inviting, and had gluten free options. We got the meat lovers pizza and the meatsauce gluten free pasta. I'm a baker/cook for 30 plus yrs and this place did not disappoint! Thank you for a delicious meal and friendly service 💜 you guys rocked it!

I had no idea this restaurant existed in Carlsbad and it was really great. It has a small Historical Museum focused on Boston that was fun to walk through. The best for me was they had gluten-free items on their menu, I had Shepherd's Pie which is normally off limits for me because of the gravy but theirs is gluten free and delicious.

Delicious pastas and wine pairings recommended by Diego. Looking forward to a large family birthday celebration later in the month, no one will be disappointed. They also offer gluten free dishes and will with you on making sure everything is satisfactory. A separate kids' menu should satisfy the little ones as well.

Usually Crust makes the best gluten free pizza, Not last night. Seems they were short of people so it looks like they had someone who never made pizza before make it... It was the worst I have ever seen or tasted. Opening the box all I saw was a flood of cheese. I could not even see the pizza. If this is what they do just to get your money, I will not dine there again. Who knows what they may do next.
