Top 38 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Relish in Tampa

Adam Sweet

We ate in, which was probably a mistake as they seem to be geared towards takeout and delivery. The staff didn't know how to handle dine-in customers. The pizza is fine, glad that they have gluten free crust options, but the rice flour crust was burned on the outside and tasteless. It was a meh experience.

Came for brunch and the food was amazing! They had so many gluten free options too!

Erin Lloyd

This place has amazing food! But beyond that, it has THE BEST gluten free pizza I have ever eaten! I have celiacs and honestly believed they gave me the wrong pizza the first time I had it but they didn’t. It’s just that good! My husband, who is not gluten free, happily eats this pizza and agrees it doesn’t taste gluten free. It is genuily wonderful pizza. In fact, everything we have eaten here has been phenomenal. The service is always exellent, especially from our favorite bartender, Leslie! She has wonderful recommendations and makes a fantastic Italian 75! This is our favorite neighborhood spot. You won’t regret visiting this place!

Was there for lunch on Sunday with a friend. Good, attentive server, helpful & cheerful. Food was amazing! And they have gluten-free pasta for those in need! Atmosphere is open & can be loud at times.

Laura Tolzmann

We love Due amicis, the pizza and pasta are both amazing. Tonight, Rufus took care of us and he was wonderful as usual. Chicken alfredo was *chefs kiss* delicious. My mom has a gluten allergy and they have many options for her as well and they are equally delicious

Water and Flour is a place of delight in Soho. The perfect blend of various cuisines offered to delight each and every person. They offer Japanese, American, Italian, and Mexican. This is an ideal place to dine at as you can make it the ideal experience you picture. It can be a quick in and out dine with casual dress, but you can also have a fancy dining experience. This was not my first time dining at this place, and it is safe to say they amaze me each time. The servers are all super sweet and willing to do anything for you. I never had a time where I was sitting there waiting to be served needing something. The décor is welcoming and I always recommend siting outside in the tropical temperatures with palm trees hugging you by all corners. There drink menu is not the biggest one but they do offer basically anything you would want. They have various cocktails, bubbly and rose, red wine, white wine, beer, and seltzers. We got the Snoop’s Garden cocktail which is gin, strawberry basil shrub, agave, and lemon juice. I like the sweeter side of things when it comes to drinks. If you do not like sweet drinks, this is not the one for you unfortunately. However, it is such a refreshing drink that is full of flavor. We started with two apps, the crispy rice with spicy ahi tuna and the volcano roll. The crispy rice was a perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and fresh tasting. The sriracha aloli brought it all together making the tuna taste even better. The 8-roll sushi was filled to the brim bringing all tastes of the ocean together. It included crab, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, scallions, a kabayaki glaze, sriracha aloli, and sesame aioli. My server was very polite and recommended to get an extra side of aloli which was a perfect addition. The sushi was one of the best rolls I have had in Tampa even considering restaurants that purely only offer sushi. For our entrees, we got the mushroom marsala fresh pasta and the Tuscan brick oven pizza. Personally, I believe rigatoni is the best pasta option to go with. The marsala wine mushroom sauce was on the thicker side. The creamy sauce was perfect and I will definitely be getting this again in the future. My boyfriend was very satisfied with the 6 slice 12-inch personal pizza. The dough was fluffy in the crust but the naturally fermented sourdough crust had a perfect burn throughout the pie. For those interested in the pizza and pasta, they also have gluten free options as well. You need to check out Water and Flour for the perfect blend of tastes, cuisines, and ambience. They also have specials and happy hour from the hours of 4-7 pm if you’re looking for some good food for a good deal for your buck. Go get the pasta if you want a filling, delicious, and perfect portioned entrée, and make sure to try one of their fresh cocktails! If you go… Where: 1015 S Howard Ave, Tampa, FL 33606 Hours: 11 am to 6 pm Prices: $18-$25 per person

We had two gluten free pizzas - both excellent. The sauce flavor was really tasty/great and the GF crust tasted good. If you need GF pizzas, I’d definitely explore this place. We’ll be back.

Rachel Herman

Love this place! Gluten Free pizza crust that is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their pizzas, but even more so for anyone looking for a delicious gluten free pizza - so great to find a place that does not use the standard thin cardboard GF crusts - this is like a real pizza!

nathan brown

Was great. I had the lasagna the my wife the pulpo and they accommodated to her gluten allergy. Both had great appetizers and lemon cake was fantastic. Atmosphere was great, lots of space and decor is great

Ali Luft

Okay guys Forbici was great it was the best place to go after my best friend bought her wedding dress. The eggplant lasagna was a gluten free dream. They had the spookiest decorations in Hyde Park! And the cacio e pepe transported me back to Italy!

Libby L

We had such a great time last night- the food was delicious, I had the salmon with capers plus asparagus and roasted brussel sprouts- gluten free and tasty. The service was friendly and attentive and helpful with the menu choices. And the live music was great- a combination that’s hard to find in South Tampa. Very happy we came!

Luke Zander

The only downfall of this restaurant is that there was only 1 server. He is an Italian man and has a heart of gold! This restaurant is a 10/10. Everyone in our party loved their meal. They even made gluten free noodles for my sister. Highly recommend the vodka sauce.

Donatella Manzi

as an italian i’m very skeptical of italian places but this place never disappoints! i love that they have gluten free pasta and it tastes like the real thing, not crumbly or falling apart. the flavor is incredible and authentic.

Amanda Taylor Price

Service was super friendly and they make their own pasta! You get a great amount and it was very tasty. Definitely coming back. Oh and they have gluten free pasta

Christina

Highly recommend the couliflower pizza. I’ve tried so many with being gluten free and this one was the best!

Food ForThought

I'm gluten free. I ordered a panini and when we sat down to wait for our food, they brought out Focaccia bread. I asked if they had this in gluten free and was told yes but it is an additional $2.50. so I went back to the register and asked the cashier and also was told yes but it's 2.50 more. So I paid, and when I got the bread, all of was was regular sandwich style bread. I thought I was getting gluten free focaccia bread or I would not have paid for just slices of sandwich bread to dip in oil and balsamic. Super bummed that I was told this my 2 people today, and paid on top of it, when bread is issued as a courtesy when you order food. I really enjoyed the panini, the bread didn't stay in place and crumbled and was messy, but the meat in the panini was delicious! Kinda bummed over all though.

Justin Rupp

Loved this place. I have Celiac and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about what was and was not gluten free. I was able to get the penne vodka and it was some of the best gluten free pasta I've ever had.

Michael Thompson

Awesome lunch experience. Gluten-free pizza crust was crisp and flavorful. Katy and Zach have excellent customer service and make everyone feel welcome to. We plan to return when in the area.

Angelia Hicks

Great experience! Gluten-free pizza crust was crispy and tasty. Our server, Katy, and manager, Zach, were awesome. The veteran's discount is 50% off the highest item, which was great for us. Would definitely return.

Love Blackjack Pizza! It’s great to have a good pizza delivery that offers gluten free and cauliflower crust!

KJ Mont

They didn't take reservations for Christmas Eve, only call ahead. We did get seated within 20min after we arrived. The pomegranate martini was ok...but not great. Being part of the Outback family, their other restaraunts have amazing cocktails. The gluten free options were good for those with special dietary needs. But when a dish is ordered that is "stuffed with fontina cheese and prosciutto", that should be inside the split chicken breast's. There was nothing stuffed inside when it was delivered to our table. I did send it back. They seemed to forget about my dish? As everyone else at our table was finished eating and my dinner had not been brought back. I eventually did get my dinner....stuffed with the fontana cheese and prosciutto.

We ordered GrubHub. The spaghetti was decent. The gluten free pizza was not good at all. The gluten free crust was tough. The pizza sauce was flavorless. The cheese was also flavorless. The meats had some flavor but was still forgettable. If you have kids the pasta is fine but if you like good pizza try something else.

Sean Beeg

For my Sunday evening meal I chose Grimaldis thanks to already being near the area on my delightful Sunday drive. Just a great pizza. Service is fast and efficient. The pizza came out hot and fresh. The sauce is sweet and not too salty. The cheese is perfectly melted and the onion is fresh. The crust is absolute perfection, crispy with no flop and a little charcoal. And finally the pepperoni is thick cut! Iced tea is good, and tastes freshly brewed. It seems they have added both a gluten free and also additional cauliflower crusts to their menu. To sum up I had a terrific visit here. Highly recommended!

Rhoda Barbour

Great Experience. Great Food, Great People I obviously can’t write multiple reviews about one place but if I could, I would have given them 5 star every single time. The management is fantastic! Above excellent!! You don’t get that anywhere and I mean anywhere. The only place that my husband can actually eat gluten free without being sick as a dog. Olive Garden westchase we salute you and your management. Thank you for all you do to make sure people with Celiac disease can also eat pasta ❤️

Brandie McCallum

You need a treat from here. They have some of the tastiest Italian cookies and treats. Everything is fresh and the people are nice. Tucked in at Hyde Park Village, they have a few tables inside and outside for you to sit and enjoy. They even have a few gluten free cookies.

Barbara Keithly

Love this restaurant. I have celiac and they were so careful with my food making sure it was gluten free

Chase Morell

Food was great! 0 issues here.The gluten free pizza was very good (some of the best gf pizza in Tampa). Pasta was just as good as the original location in St. Pete. Service was efficient and attentive, with the staff demonstrating a friendly and welcoming demeanor throughout the meal. However, the interior design falls short of expectations for a newly opened restaurant. The space feels underwhelming, with a layout that doesn’t fully capitalize on the opportunity to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It comes across as a hasty rebrand of the previous Luv Child concept, lacking cohesion and personality. This isn't an ideal spot for couple/date since the tables are too close together. Outdoor seating area looked much better, but was too cold on the day we visited. In summary, it’s a solid choice for a casual meal.

We went there for our anniversary dinner. We had the Burrata with pistachio butter and tomato jam for starters, Radiatore with truffles and mushrooms, and Rigatoni with charred tomatoes for the mains, and creamed spinach and eggplant polpette for the sides. We also had a smoked old fashioned and Amalfi passion fruit gin drink. Since we are vegetarian and my husband doesn’t eat eggs, we were offered the gluten-free lentil pasta option, and therefore instead of radiatore and rigatoni, we had penne in other of our pasta dishes. Everything was super delicious and very filling- so much that we didn’t have room for dessert! I especially recommend the radiatore and the burrata. If you’re a vegetarian or if you don’t eat eggs, you will not be disappointed with the food at Timpano. However, there were a few downers too. The first was that the maitre d’ was pretty rude and unwelcoming in her tone and demeanor. I had made a reservation the day before. Upon arriving, the host asked my name a couple of times and even though it is an Indian name it is not difficult to pronounce or spell. She told me she didn’t have my reservation when I had made one the day before and also called again earlier the same day before visiting to move the reservation to 8:30. However, she offered me a reservation at the moment. The second was that even though there wasn’t too much of a rush as it was a Thursday, the waiters seemed to be running around initially and didn’t even offer or ask us for water. During the course of our dinner, our server became more attentive and asked us about door and such, and packed out leftovers for us. If I go here again, it is definitely for the food.

We are regulars at Flor Fina. I am quite fond of their menu and gluten-free options. The hotel is beautiful and I really like the space and location. Service was great last night and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested. The food is not over priced. I got roasted chicken and rice and beans for under 40$ and it was so flavorful. The short ribs with bleau cheese grits was to die for. We ended with the only gluten-free dessert they offer which was chocolate, raspberries with icecream and pine nuts. I am not a dessert person and I loved it. Valet parking is 10$ Valet parking is 10$

Food was amazing. Get the table side mozzarella! Service was great. They even have gluten sensitive options for most of the pasta. We will be going back!

Luz Veronica Coffre

The chef is the owner, great guy. Service was phenomenal. The food was amazing even kids food was fresh made from scratch. Everything was delicious from garlic bread, hamburger, Amatriciana pasta, meatballs sandwich to chicken fingers. Quality ingredients. If the kitchen is not busy they could offer gluten free pasta. 😉 Loved it!

Sofia Scattolon

The best place and service! And they have gluten free and dairy free options! The made my day!

Kevin Wanamaker

A top notch Italian meal in a setting that feels like an authentic old school Italian restaurant in NJ, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Great ambiance, and the service is top notch. For gluten free diners they had lots of options. GF penne is available and many of the entrees can be made gluten free. Excellent wine selection as well.

Emily Thorne

We will return here often. Gluten friendly, cozy atmosphere, live music, delectable food. One of my party members got the lamb flank and hasn’t stopped talking about it since (it’s been a week!). Service was impeccable.

I visited Olive Garden this evening with my husband and 3 of our kids after spending the day at Busch Gardens together before traveling back home to Davenport. We had to wait over a half hour to be seated on a Monday night and the wait would have been fine if there hadn't been more empty tables than full. We were ready to order once being seated but the first question our server (Jamie) asked was if we needed seperate checks (that seemed a bit insulting, the only reason we could think of why she would make that insinuation was due to the fact that we have a mixed ethnicity family). We had to ask for breadsticks after about 10 minutes of sitting down. We asked for a refill on bread sticks and for the salad that we all ordered after a half hour and received a response full of attitude, "I'll get it as soon as I can get to it". The manager came and asked us shortly after that if our order was taken yet and I told her yes; about a half hour earlier but we are still waiting on our salad and a refill on breadsticks and I mentioned that I cannot eat gluten (I'm allergic) and that I was quite hungry waiting on the salad while the kids all had breadsticks. It still took another 10 minutes or so to get the breadstick refill and our salad (which was gone before our food came but we were never offered more nor did we have the chance to ask for more because our server was nowhere to be found). After sitting at our table for just over an hour, our food finally came out. Our youngest ordered a pepperoni pizza that came without pepperoni (the replacement came once we were done eating when we asked about the pepperoni right away), my husband and I both ordered steak and had to ask for steak knives so we could eat and I ordered the sirloin with fettuccine alfredo but asked for the gluten free pasta instead but received red sauce instead of alfredo (didn't say anything out that because I was 2 bites in and starving when I thought about the fact that it was the wrong sauce). At no point did our server mention or ask about the gluten-free dietary restriction I mentioned. She brought the salad with more croutons than I've ever seen in a salad and I can only hope that my pasta was actually gluten free but I guess I will find out in the morning if I break out in hives from eating here. Really wish this review could have been positive; this was the end to our last day spending time out as a family for the holidays.

Chelsea Panin

Everything we had was delicious. Their red sauce and meatballs reminded me of how my great grandma used to make them. I am gluten free and Joel was so kind and helpful in letting me know what I could eat. There were actually so many options! Will definitely be back and so happy I can dine with ease knowing there are options I can enjoy within my restrictions.

Lisa Marie Calderón

4 stars for having a GOOD gluten free option. Would have given 5 if the outdoor area was not full of drunk, young adults leaving their litter all over the walk way. So much potential but pizza was really good. Staff was very nice and attentive and I give them 5 stars for dealing with said drunk youngsters.

Tessa MacNeil

The food didn't even last long enough to take photos. Man this place is GREAT! We ordered a gluten free pepperoni pizza, chicken parm sub and a chicken roll All of us rated 10/10. Definitely will be back!
