Top 5 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Taos

Vince Bowers

Authentic dining in Taos. The ambiance alone is worth going. Great menu including vegetarian and gluten free and surprisingly good wine list at reasonable prices. A locally owned Italian restaurant complete with antipasto plate. Even if you don’t want Italian you should go. Good portions and good prices. Not fast food and hopefully Marco will tell you a joke or two. No regrets.

We showed up at 5 pm and were told it would be an hour and a half wait for a table. We were visiting another town from out of state and drove to Taos just to visit the brewery. Unfortunately we weren’t able to wait that long so we couldn’t stay. My wife had been looking forward to their gluten feee vegan pizza for quite some time so she went ahead and ordered one to go. 40 minutes later she finally got her pizza. She was told “it had just come out” but found it to be like warm like it had been sitting there for a good 10-15 minutes. The pizza was fine but nothing to write home about. Can’t comment on the beer since we didn’t get to try any. By the time we left they announced it was now a 2 hour wait for a table. If you plan on going, plan accordingly unless you want to wait.

Rude staff. They need to take some customer service courses or something. We waited for more than an hour our food even though there was only 3 tables in entire place. I asked for gluten free pasta and I was not warned that there is an additional charge of $5

This was by far the worst dinning experience thus far during our trip to Taos. 3 hour wait and bad tasting food. Heard about Taos Outback Pizza, from a skier on the lifts, but definitely not worth the time or money. When placing our order at 5:55, we were told it would take up to an hour for our food to be prepared. I added an appetizer to the order, hoping that would arrive during the hour wait. I asked 2 times about the bread around 6:30 (thinking this was the half way point for our estimated wait time) however, the bread was not served until 7:30. The bread was okay, but had a very hard crust. I might rate it 4 out of 10. While waiting for our food, 3 tables paid their drink tickets and left with out receiving their food. Once our room was cleared out and we were the only ones left, we asked 3 staff members to turn the volume up on the TV but we never did get the remote or have the TVs volume increased from mute. At 8:55 our final pizza was served (each pizza was served about 10 minutes apart). One person in our group said the pizza was so bad she sent it back and refused to pay for it. I did ordered a build your own with 2 meats and only receive one meat on my pizza. The men in our group did eat part of their pizza but had it put in a Togo box and agreed it was not as good a Pizza Hut or other chain pizza places, ultimately comparing it to hospital pizza . We all made sandwiches when we returned to the hotel. If you have 3 plus hours to wait, and don't mind spending $30 plus per pizza with half decent quality and taste, there are a few pluses to dinning here, our waitress Holly was kind and apologized several times for our experience. They also served a 10 inch gluten free crust crust which was a request from one person in our group. Others than these 2 single factors nothing good about this place. The manager was not seen and no explanation for the wait time other than there is only 1 oven...poor set up for a pizza restaurant.
