Top 8 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Downtown Los Angeles

We ordered a gluten free peperoni pizza. It was one of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever tried. Warning: if you really cannot eat sny gluten or cross contaminated food, don't go there, they use the same utensils for all the pizza, even if the dough is gluten free you can get sick. The taste was amazing. The guys making the pizzas and the bartender were very nice. The neighbourhood at night looked scary and dangerous, even if inside the pizzeria was okey.

Finally went here with a friend, both of us have visited family in Italy throughout our lives (for me: Salerno region) and needed to catch up and vent over good food. This pasta is so good. Everything there felt like being g back in Italy and not the tourist traps. They even had stelline/pastina and bone marrow! We ended up getting bone marrow, tiramisu, and the Angus ragù and wild boar ragù pastas. Everything was incredible and I've had dreams about the tiramisu since. They also use really good flour here it seems because I'm someone who can't really digest most wheat, not gluten but all wheat in the US just makes me feel sick almost like an allergy. The bread and pasta here was the rare wheat outside of Italy that I didn't feel sick, I didn't feel bloated, I wasn't in pain for days. Just stelline-eyed thinking about when I could visit again and try the next pasta. Friend is the same way and said the same thing. I only wish they had little pasta flight samplers 😅 For allergies: they're very good. I have a shellfish allergy and cross contamination wasn't a concern and there were plenty of non-shellfish options that were fantastic.

Absolutely hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. Parking is horrendous but I will risk it again for this, the perfect pizza.

Nested within Grand Central Market, a great find with gluten free past options. The Mac and cheese is what dreams are made of and such a good and cheesy Mac and cheese!! Definitely recommend. Their lemonade was great as well.

Every time I am downtown, I always go to lunch at Amante's. The food is exceptional and I love their gluten free options. I also appreciate how each time I go there is something new in their decor. You can tell the owners really care about their restaurant and it shows! I highly recommend it.

delicious wines, great selection! I got the kale salad which was delicious and mortazza pizza which comes with mortadella, burratta and mozzarella, and pistachios! their dough is part rice flour and fermented for 72 hours so pretty good still for gluten insensitive folks like me! definitely coming back. Lilian is also the best server! great recommendations all around. try their wines— I enjoyed the chilled red I ordered but can’t remember what it’s called.

Good service, a very mixed age crowd, and funky vibe. We have been here several times and the food is always excellent. We did have some kitchen issues this time around in that not much was coarsed correctly and some people were eating and others...waiting. Since the last visit, I now need to be gluten free and the number of options were not as great as other places we've been.

I gave up on pizza a long time ago. But we stubbles on this place and tossed out the request of a gluten free and dairy free pizza. Surprisingly, the guy working there was like…hold on one sec. Then emerged from the back with gluten free crust. My faith in humanity is restored.
