Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Enjoy in Iowa

Sredna

Really good service but we didn't really enjoy the food. We ordered off the gluten free menu and pasta didn't taste that great. Ordered the lobster meal but pieces were very small. Substitutions were common because they didn't have what was offered. Overall we felt disappointed in the meals.

Amber MacDowell

Beautiful restaurant, efficient and friendly server. It was fantastic that their gluten-free menu offered a wide variety of options. Excellent Chocolate Martini and the Creme Brule was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Michelle Julius

Everything was delicious! They have a separate gluten free menu with lots of options. They were very accommodating to other allergies too.

Jennifer Johnson

Absolutely amazing! So clean and inviting and comfortable! Also I have celiac disease and they accommodate my food allergies. I so appreciate it, this location was awesome!

Nate Hubbard

Great food and customer service. Brittany and her team are wonderful. She has always checked on us when not incredibly busy. Some family has gluten issues and they are always so quick and willing to accommodate with their options for such! Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed!

Alexa Dwelley

I had a large party for my graduation here and we had many food allergies (celiac/ dairy allergies/ etc.). The staff was flexible and helpful with it all. On top of that, the food was the best italian food I have ever had. I would not recommend another place to go have dinner.

Shari Damaso

This is our favorite place for tasty affordable pizza that is easy to customize. The gluten-free options are fantastic!

Rhea Baugher

The gentleman who was working seemingly alone was extremely helpful, the place was clean and cozy, and the food was amazing. Great selection, very tasty, and the menu included vegan and gluten-free items; my sister is allergic to gluten, eggs, and all things bovine, and she loves pizza, which makes Your Pie a dream come true for the family.

Kristy Droll

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

Barbara Foust

I was just diagnosed with Celiac and found your gluten free crust. This may be the best I have tasted including regular. Thanks so much for having something that doesn’t hurt my stomach and is actually great!!!

Jamie Goff

Their Gluten Free pizza is amazing!!! Went to order it on door dash and it wasn't showing up so I called the restaurant and spoke to Emily and she went above and beyond to get me my gluten free pizza. Second time we've ordered from them and both times its been fantastic!! Even better when the customer Service rocks!!

Bruce Graves

Best gluten free pizza anywhere

Emilie Peterson

We were driving through town and looking for a quick place to pick up pizza. The ordering online was super easy and the food was great. This was some of the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Highly recommend!

Carole Glawe

became gluten intolerant this year and love Pasquales pizza. Found they had a GF crust. It was great but even better they put on tin tray so doesn't touch flour from other pizzas in oven. Two thumbs up guys

Good food, lot of effort, Avoid the Romano. The pasta being fresh gluten & effort in the sauces is amazing. The Romano could be DPO authentic ish, but that's not a complex flavor, it hits the "Tastes like poison" palette top to bottom. 10 minutes after I was done eating it, the poison taste lingered. Ruined an otherwise stellar dish, first time I've disappointed my mom & returned a full plate in a long time. Ordered two items without it & again, cost to quality can't be beat.

Kathy Kosch

I had the gluten free pasta and it didn't take as long as I expected it too. It was delicious and the service was great for how busy they were.

Amber Evans

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and great gluten free menu!

Tara Newton

The Altoona location treats us well. We have celiac disease and a dairy allergy, and this location takes the greatest care possible. Thank you, Team Altoona!

Jennifer

Northern Lights is the BEST pizza around. Their gluten free option is by far the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Delivery drivers are always very nice and the pizza is always great. If I carry out the location is always very clean and smells amazing.

April Worrall

love the gluten-free options! Great food and a great company that gives back to our communities.

Evelyn Hoover

Really enjoyed our dinner there. The food was great, portions were generous, and our server was attentive. Bonus was they have a gluten-free menu with several options on it. However, one of my pet peeves is paying for upscale food but having a table set with paper napkins. Everything about this restaurant, including the prices, screamed cloth napkins to me.

Emily Shelton

The server was amazing! This was one of the best experiences at Olive Garden! They were very accommodating to my gluten allergy.

Jaymie Ransford

We have just discovered this gem! Great food and mixed drinks! I’m a gluten-free vegetarian and they had several options for me, can’t wait to go back!! We definitely did not leave hungry and took home some yummy leftovers.

Rachelle V

We have probably eaten here at least 20 times. It is consistently good. I've never had a bad meal here. I have celiac disease and must eat gluten free. I am sensitive to cross-contamination. I have asked the server to alert the kitchen every time I ate there. I have never gotten sick. That alone is amazing. I can't claim that for any other restaurant.

Dawn Sloan

Excellent service. Delicious Gluten Free options!

Allie Lauritson

We enjoyed their jackolantern pizza and bought a gluten free pizza too. Wish they had more sizing options for gluten free crust, but it's nice they have that alternative.

Roni Argetsinger

Service was fantastic. Modified pasta for gluten free was also fantastic. Wood fire pizza very good. And lovely atmosphere.

Leandro Santillan

Great pizza as always and gluten free!

Kim Cook

Food and service were amazing! Our friend had the gluten free pasta and said it was fabulous!!!

David V Ferkul

Service was pretty good. The food is delicious. They do have a few gluten free entrees.

D Nice

Amazing gluten free pasta-- the best I've had in a restaurant! Such a great atmosphere with a cool Italian vibe & decor & lively atmosphere. The service is always friendly, attentive (but not overly annoying!) & knowledgeable.

Dwight Slama

Joshua Wolf

Yummy pizza and sandwiches. Really good gluten free pizza.

Sue Cira

I need a no crouton salad and I always order salmon with broccoli. I have had no episodes of being glutened...thank you!! 😊

Edward Olson

I’ve never had a bad pizza here and often they are nicely heaped with ingredients. They don’t skimp. Atmosphere is a walk up pizza counter. So, is that three stars? Maybe if they added a disco ball and fresh flowers we’d get to 4 stars? There are some people working there who are challenged to make pizza in a fast and efficient way but they are not the norm. Good value for the service I think. We love the gluten free options!

Dawn Johnson

The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten-free and offered several options. They were absolutely amazing so polite. I had the Salmon Primavera they used gluten free rigatoni noodles. The dish was OVER THE TOP the best dish I have ever eaten! They even offered a gluten free dessert option of their gelato. They have options of vanilla, chocolate and salted caramel.

John Avila

Deb Daniels

What an array of food on that menu. Satisfied all our wants! I had gluten free pizza that was great! The tenderloins were a hit.

J S

Wow. What a gem! If you're looking for Italian in Iowa, look no further! Not to mention if you're gluten-free like me, the staff was very knowledgeable about substitutions and can help you find something to eat. The highlight of my visit was a crustless cheesecake.

Bill Goodrich

Colored me impressed. We split a personal size Meyers on gluten free crust. It was delicious! Service was excellent too!

Bret Walters

Gluten free share

Erik Donner

Had gluten free pizza!!

LW Evans

We had a nice dinner and lots of gluten free options here! Quick service, good house salads and delicious gf chocolate cake 😋

anna llenes

Highly recommend for celiacs or others that are gluten-free. The staff is kind and knowledgeable about cross-contamination with gluten. Ordered their spinach salad with no meat and no bread. I did ask if the dressing is gluten-free. She immediately understood the concern. I didn't have to go into a deep conversation about it. The food was delicious. Again, I highly recommend going here.

Emily Bashus

Great pizza, gluten free options and big salad. Delicious!!!!

Janet Wheeler

One of my favorites. I appreciate gluten-free dining options being clearly offered on the menu. The food is fresh, and our server was courteous and answered our questions about dishes easily.

Kathy Takes

Gluten free, good for me

Paula Carlson

Delicious pizza, lots of cheese. They have a gluten free crust option. My absolute favorite pizza!

LW Evans

Dinner on the patio is best here as indoors is a bit too noisy. Excellent cocktails; Pear Vino was fab! 🤩 Portions are generous the half order of the centro salad was enough for 2! Chicken Saltimbocca was tasty good and they did it gluten free with green beans. I'll be back for another evening on the patio!

Alan Buss

Bari was amazing! We went tonight for our anniversary, and really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is really fun, with intriguing Italian food combinations, and fun drinks too. I had the ravioli with ribeye, which was so unique, and really wonderful! My wife had a gluten-free pasta, which was similarly wonderful (especially for gluten free pasta!). For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was also amazing. My wife tried a new vegan chocolate mousse, which you could not even tell was vegan! Totally amazing! We ate outside, which was also lovely, with a nice breeze (and protected from the rain). And the service was excellent as well (nice job!). Overall, highly recommended!!
