Top 26 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in South Beach, Miami Beach

Michele Block

This place did not disappoint. Had the Margherita pizza and Buffalo e prosciutto. Amazing. For dairy free peeps, I can tolerate buffalo mozzarella. I found this out in Italy.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and was so happy I did. From the moment we walked in, Guido was so welcoming and warm. The place is beautifully decorated in lemons. I ordered a gluten free pasta and truffle fries and I can honestly say this was the best meal I’ve ever had. They cooked the gluten free items separate and served it in a special pan to ensure no cross contamination. Such a wonderful place.

This place was a highlight of our trip! We had a great experience at the bar while we waited for our table, with yummy espresso martinis. Our server was Magali and she was a true professional. We were well taken care of by her and the rest of the waitstaff. They easily accommodated my gluten allergy, and actually had gf pasta as a substitute. My friend loved her rigatoni bolognese and my seafood pasta special with the half lobster was to die for. You wouldn’t even know the penne was gluten free! The only wish I have is for gluten free bread to enjoy with the meal. My sauce was so yummy, I wish I had sop-up bread to go with it. The patio atmosphere was super fun with great people watching and liveliness on a Saturday, but still relaxing and not too loud. We went to several different restaurants during our trip to Miami, and this was by far the best! Highly recommend!

Best breakfast and service! We got gluten free bread - toast with the most tender steak and eggs I have ever had… the huevos rancheros was also amazing.. breakfast potatoes, fresh squeezed orange juice… and the service from Angie was the best too… for those that eat gluten free, they have the bread for toast or sandwiches, and they also offer a gluten free pita… this was the best way to start out vacation and can’t wait to return the next time we’re on south beach.

Bruno was so attentive and made great dinner suggestions. My daughter has a gluten and dairy allergy and she still had an incredible plate. Hands down most delicious pasta place in Miami!

Andrea Herrera

The food is very delicious and the best thing is that they have gluten free pasta. If you are celiac, I highly recommend it. Excellent attention!

The restaurant is overall good, and has plenty of gluten free options including gluten free pasta rigatoni. I however don’t think the restaurant is worth all the hype and the prices, even for Miami Beach standards. Appetizers are between 30-50$, really small. I ordered a Branzino as the main dish and it was 145$. The restaurant is nice on the inside, but they sat us outside, and it was nothing special.

Food, atmosphere, and service were all amazing! Martin was our server and he was a true pleasure! The most adorable little Italian restaurant with delicious food! Must try! Gluten free options available too, always a plus!

Adriana Ortiz

Gluten free pizzas are just amazing. The best I’ve had. Plus the girl at the counter ia super friendly. Absolutely would recommend

Dan The Man

Wow wow wow! As vegans and gluten free eaters this place is a huge win! Great atmosphere in or outside and they have some of the nicest staff we have had in the many places we have went for food at in the area. It was like getting a tasty salad built on top of our pizza crust. There is a reason for almost having 5 stars.. These girls r the Best!!!

Juan Castro

The food was outstanding with lots of options, including gluten-free ones! Great service, Andrea took very good care of us.

Claire Baldwin

Gluten free pizza was amazing. All the ingredients were super fresh. The service was awesome as well and super reasonably priced. We will visit again next time we are in Miami Beach.

Marina was our wonderful waitress! Her smile was warm and welcoming, her recommendations were spot on! Branzino was mild but full of flavor , yummy! My husband had the chicken parm and side fettuccine. Portions are large, come hungry. I’m gluten free but she already recommended the flourless cak with Nutella! You’ll have to try fir yourself 👍🍝🇮🇹

Nina Rydén

Amazing night out, great food, cacio pepe, gluten free pasta available. Our waitor Martin was very attentive. We enjoyed the napkin spinning, dancing and celebratory spirit!

Kanoli was such a pleasant surprise for someone like me who needs gluten-free options. I had the Grilled Salmon with vegetables, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and filling. Molly was super accommodating and made sure my dietary restrictions were taken care of without any hassle. The oceanfront patio and live music just added to the amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Amber

This was my second time visiting forte & everything was nothing short of amazing! Our server Maximo was very attentive & even brought me gluten free bread to the table. I love how they cater to dietary restrictions (gluten) which was a really nice touch. Both of our drinks were great! We tried the octopus appetizer as well as the oysters (I waited all year to have them)! They are delicious. For our entree, we enjoyed the truffle mushroom fettuccine & the gluten free spaghetti Bolognese. Hands down the best GF pasta I’ve ever had! I’m still craving it. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth every penny! I will gladly return and recommend forte for a wonderful upscale Italian restaurant on Miami Beach.

10/10!!! A hidden gem. This place was incredible. The service is amazing, they treat you like family and make you feel so welcome. And the food, AMAZING! So delicious. Octopus was great, branzino was divine, and the lemon sorbet, to die for!!!! Plus the presentation was fabulous! They also were extremely thoughtful and accommodating to my gluten and dairy allergies and any special dietary requests! Loved it.

Richard Szoke

Definitely appreciate the attention given towards the gluten sensitive member of our party. We enjoyed our meals. Lobster ravioli was delicious, but a few more ravioli would have been appreciated. Grilled salmon was lovely. Laid back non rushed atmosphere.

Rima Law

The gluten free vegan pizza was great. The Manager was very nice to me offering me extra bc I couldn’t get the app to work. I wish they were closer to me and I wish the parking was easier.

Delicious gluten free lemon cake and amazing ginger bread ice-cream. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Last night at Macchialina Taverna Rustica was an unforgettable experience, and I have to credit much of that to the phenomenal service we received. Our server, Lauren, was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we were seated, she brought a warmth and friendliness that instantly made us feel at home. Her personable nature and deep knowledge of the menu made her the ideal guide for our dining adventure. My guest has a gluten allergy, and I was incredibly impressed with how thoroughly Lauren and her team addressed our needs. She took the time to explain our options, ensuring that my guest felt comfortable and safe with her choices. It’s this level of attention to detail that truly sets Macchialina apart from other dining experiences in Miami. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, and the staff was clearly on their A-game. Lauren not only delivered top-notch service but also checked in frequently to ensure everything was perfect, without being obtrusive. I remember joking that our water glasses must have had pressure sensors underneath them, because the moment the last drop of water disappeared, a server would almost magically appear to refill it for us. I got a kick out of that. Now, let’s talk about the food. I ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro, and I can confidently say it was the best spaghetti I've ever had in Miami! The flavors were vibrant, fresh, and beautifully balanced – a true testament to the culinary talent in the kitchen. I walked away from Macchialina with a full heart and a satisfied palate, already planning my next visit. If you're in Miami and looking for delicious Italian food paired with exceptional service, do yourself a favor and visit Macchialina Taverna Rustica. Thank you, Lauren, and the entire team for a memorable evening! Can’t wait to be back soon!

Martin attended to us. A genius. We are 2 people who needed gluten free. And he suggested some delicious pastas. And then dessert 🍮 amazing!

Kathy McKinley

We had a truly wonderful meal here. My husband and I shared the seafood platter for two and it was delicious. Two of our kids loved their pasta dishes, and our son also enjoyed the gluten-free grilled chicken. Our waiter was knowledgeable about allergies and made sure everything was safe for our son.

Steve Sjöblom

Excellent food, the signature chicken without the gravy is gluten-free

K Trov

Delicious. Had the tastiest seafood risotto! They offer gluten-free options too. We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their pasta dishes as well.
