Top 35 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Sarasota

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

Awesome pizza, very unique and tasty pizza selection and variety. (Regular classics and Thai/Mexican/etc). The best customer service of any restaurant ive been to, every time i go there. Restaurant manager and servers are super attentive, friendly and pleasant Very consistently excellent food and service, never disappointed. Also gluten-free options for people with Celiac's.

We ordered 4 pizzas to dine in. One was gluten free. She brings 3 pizzas out. We wait for 25 minutes and ask where the gluten free pizza was. She said this is it. We asked why she put it in front of another couple. It was 3/4 eaten. She said she would order another gluten free. 1/2 hour later I asked another waiter where the gluten free pizza was. I then said give us our bill. Paid the bill and needless to say she got no tip. It was like she didn’t want to be there. Not attentive. Very poor service. She took the pizza off our bill and we never got the one that was reordered.

My first time here. The perfect choice and a great evening. The food was delicious. I’m celiac as well as having a dairy allergy. My waitress Julia couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made sure my meal was perfect. Very friendly and professional. Top notch service! Brian the manager was excellent. He too made sure I had the best service as well as making me feel like family while there. I was celebrating my birthday and he went out of his way to make the evening a great one for me. Great restaurant and great staff. Highly recommended :)

Chad was an amazing server! He was very attentive, knew the menu well, and was helpful with gluten-free options for a family member with celiac disease.

The place is really nice inside, and the lake view is amazing. They have an awesome pizza selection — including our favorite gluten-free one. Tons of great salads too, and don’t even get me started on the pastries… so good!

Always an amazing food experience. Lots of gluten free options and very accommodating. Their Alfredo sauce is the best I have ever had. So Good.

Best pizza in Sarasota! The sourdough crust is incredible and I never want to eat any other pizza! I have gluten sensitivity and this pizza doesn’t hurt my stomach at all!

Had a fabulous meal at this lovely local restaurant. Located on Main Street in downtown Sarasota, they offer indoor and outdoor dining. Unpretentious and very European feeling with little tables scattered on the sidewalk. The service was prompt and the food excellent. Probably the best pasta I’ve had outside of Italy. As an aside, I noted that most dishes can be made gluten-free should that be a requirement, something seen frequently in Europe but not so much in North America. Overall, a great meal and will definitely return on our next trip to Sarasota.

They sell fresh baked goods. Wonderful and flavorful salads. The gluten free pizza is delicious

I’m gluten intolerant and I love the original margarita (no red sauce, just light olive oil on crust). I asked and was very thrilled to have it the way I like it, even though it’s not on your menu. We go out every Monday for pizza and have “finally” found our pizza place while we are down here for the winter. We are so happy!

An empanada lover's happy place! We first met the Empanada Girl at the Lakewood Ranch farmer's market at Waterside. Stefania was the kindest food cart person we had met as she worked the orders and also took the time to chat with us and go over how she came to this fantastic gluten free and plant based recipes. We ordered one of each and honestly loved them all! They are each stamped on the crust with the type and come frozen or you can order one on the spot to be heated up. Stefania shared that she sold her items out of her then parent's store Peperonata Pasta Store. Well fast forward to today, we saw her in person working the store with her little one Ari! She chatted with us about taking on the store from her family and carrying on the tradition of their family and her amazing empanadas. Tips for ordering if you want them warm, call ahead! They take about 15 mins to warm but it's always fun to sit in their cute eatery and meet others who come thru the store. So many regulars and newbies like us! They carry an amazing amount of homemade items including pastas, sauces, desserts, and branded items. Definitely stop by this store and support this wonderful family owned business and their growing family! Thank you Stefania and crew we'll be back!

This is such a fun vibe for a group of people! The food was really tasty and a great size portion of pasta, which is hard to find. It was also pretty light on the sauce which made me leave not feeling too heavy or bloated. They have options for gluten free pasta too. My Italian margarita was a 100/10! The best of the best. The drinks took like 50 minutes to come out and the waitress brought us free garlic bread for the wait which was the sweetest thing ever. I will definitely be back! The service was so kind and the food was lovely.
