Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens Across New York City

Audrey Pacheco

The entire place is gluten free so it’s completely safe. You can have gluten favorites that actually taste like they were not gluten free! You have to try the ice cream, it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Delicious!! And my friend has gluten-fee and it was really good.

Risotteria Melotti is such a cute spot in NYC. All of the risottos are gluten-free, which was great for dining with my Celiac girlfriend. Inside, it’s a small but intimate space. It feels almost like you’re dining in someone’s home because the kitchen is so close by. For my meal, I had the calcio and pepe risotto. It was delicious and extremely filling. After that, I absolutely had to have the tiramisu for dessert. I love tiramisu and this was no different. With the large portions, I could’ve shared my dessert, but my girlfriend wanted the Nutella crepe, which was also delicious. Overall, I highly recommend coming here.

I brought my visiting family here, half of whom are GF (myself included). Like everyone says, all the food is really good here! No compromises just because it’s gluten free. But what I’m really thankful for is the reservation ease. I couldn’t find the group size I needed on OpenTable, so I called and got a person immediately. Needed to call two more times to change the reservation to add someone / change time, and again to confirm they could accommodate a wheelchair 😂 I felt so high maintenance and they were SUPER nice about it. For that alone, 5 stars. Will definitely bring other people here because it’s, to me, in a “classic NYC” neighborhood and gives classy vibes for reasonable price point.

Erik Money

I have tried gluten-free pizzas at dozens of locations. This is the best by far. It tastes like the real deal. Friendly wait staff and cozy atmosphere. I will be back here again.

A great dining experience! A very warm welcome and a big thank you to the friendly French-speaking server who was kind and very professional, taking food allergies into account! It's so nice to have such a wide gluten-free selection. See you soon.

Kara Franklin

Gluten free pizza was amazing! I so very much appreciated the GF menu. They were busy and we had three servers so it was a more leisurely evening. No complaints, though!

Vanessa Castillo

I didn't plan to eat here but am so glad I did. The service people were approachable in a tidy, orderly space. Senza Gluten by Jemiko -100% Gluten Free Restaurant combines affordability with vegetable-rich options. I trust Senza Gluten by Jemiko -100% Gluten Free Restaurant for their quality meals and worker attention. What a pleasant surprise this was!

Beautiful experience lived in August 2024. We felt at home. Excellent and very friendly staff. I had to fly all the way here to eat the best gluten-free pizza of my life. You are truly the best Italian restaurant in NY. Congratulations

Nettie Atkisson

The service was incredible. Every single person that worked there was fantastic. Really sophisticated without being snooty. We were so impressed. The food is great too. Our entire group was happy. We were so impressed. Great food and service. Gluten free pasta available.

Jillian Cristina

love this place! i’m gluten free and the pasta is always amazing plus they take dietary restrictions very seriously. I have celiac and have never gotten sick here.

Ian Ferrier

So accommodating. We called ahead of time for our special requests for food allergies and accessibility items. They provided a plan for us during that call and we're ready. They helped get us in seated with all accessibility items. No judgment. Inviting and welcoming for our group. Fed within a reasonable time with absolutely delicious food. The gluten free dishes that we ordered were phenomenal. Such a nice staff and amazing food.

Rachel Kessler

Ten years ago, I wished for a 100 percent celiac-safe, 100 percent gluten free restaurant with incredible food, nearby. (I even wished for cloth napkins.)This gem opened up and my prayers were answered. It's the perfect place for anyone wanting consistently delicious food. Risotto, arancini, and don't get me started on the tiramisu... Italian feasts, warm, sexy ambience, kind staff. The chef is a culinary wizard. It's a trip to Italy, a block from the 9th precinct.

Donn Ess

Love this place! Vegan cheese and gluten-free crust for the win. Four of us ordered three pizzas, and there were no leftovers. Top notch service as well, we'll be back.

Emmy Michelle Scott

So amazing to find so many gluten free options in Little Italy

Pilar Mejia Barrera

Their gluten free pizza is the best I have ever had!

Jessica A

Had such an amazing meal here! The food, the ambience, the service were all phenomenal. It’s definitely not easy to get a reservation, but I recommend trying your best. My family went for lunch and I was unable to join them due to work. But they raved so much we went back the next reservation we could get. The spicy rigatoni is popular for a reason, just wow. And one person at our table ordered the gluten free version which was just as good. We also ordered the chopped salad and Cesar salad which were both delicious. Additionally, I’m personally not a huge fan of carpaccio piemontese was amazing, which honestly surprised me. Will definitely return!

This place has that downtown Vibe , good music , large crowds and decent food, my Son is Gluten Free and they had a large selection of GF item and good salad we enjoyed our pizza and pasta dish like the squid Ink pasta and Kale salad.

Chelsea Austen

We had booked an outdoor table but the weather did not cooperate. They saved us seats at the bar and we really loved watching all the food come out and the pizzas go in the oven. Our server, Gokce was lovely. She was able to list off everything that could be done gluten free and I appreciated her confidence. She was attentive even though we were seated at the bar. We got three different pasta dishes: the carbonara, the lamb pasta, and the wild boar pasta. All were delicious. The panna cotta dessert was amazing!! Definitely recommend

Caroline Voegele

Absolutely loved the food and especially the gluten-free options (even gluten-free bread)! Did not disappoint and will be back

Cattryse Schlagel

Pizza was great, Gluten Free crust was fantastic. Hot, cheesy and a bit greasy, exactly what we were looking for. Picture is of the gluten free crust.

Jessi Parker

This is a hidden gem. They have fried mozzarella and amazing chicken parmesan. Daniel is the best. We will be returning for sure!

Maria Truglio

Absolutely hands down the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever tried (I’ve had celiac for over 15 years and had GF pizza in Italy). The crust was perfect and the sauce was amazing. Great family atmosphere and old school service.

Stanley Mathias

The food was delicious, the service excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. One person in my party has a severe gluten allergy and they were even able to safely accommodate her. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

David Macheska

Great selection of vegan and gluten free dishes served up in a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Jada Ross

Best Gluten-free pizza I've ever had. I got the margarita pizza. So good!!

Erik Webb

I had high hopes after seeing the reviews and the gluten-free options. The owner and staff were surprisingly hostile to our party as first timers, commenting directly to us (and others) throughout the meal about how absurd it was that we did not have cash on hand for payment. Very bizarre, and something I’ve never experienced before. The gluten-free pizza tasted worse than a Domino’s pizza, and was twice the cost ($25). I can’t recommend much about this venue.

Jennifer Sarathy

Came to Palma because of rave reviews of their GF pastas and GF food. Overall they had a great selection of Gf foods and also listed what was DF. Sensitive to allergies. Service was pretty basic but the atmosphere was lovely. Mixed reviews on the food (see below) but would definitely return and would recommend to anyone with gluten and dairy dietary restrictions. Our appetizers were fantastic- had the fritto misto and the octopus- perfect for sharing for 4 people. There were plenty of GF main options, but only two pastas labeled GF (although the GF fettuccine can be made with any sauce). I was very underwhelmed by the GF fettuccine with mushrooms and truffles. The Gf pasta was cooked “al dente” but that made it a weird texture. Not all of the mushrooms were well cooked. My daughter had the parpadelle bolognese and the pasta was somewhat falling apart. My husband was happy with the ravioli although it was a small portion. Overall 4/5 on the food, some hits and misses but we generally had an enjoyable meal.

Ada Dunn

Yes they have gf pasta and sauces are GF.

This hybrid restaurant is self service like fast food style ordering, first come first serve seating arrangement. , Cozy and I mean very close seating gem in greenpoint Brooklyn was a cute delightful date with my nephew and I. When we arrived it was packed without indoor seating, so we originally sat outside. Which we were indifferent about. Indoor seating cleared up so we sat inside. The meatballs amazing, the cauliflower great vegan dish, I also ordered gluten-free pasta just to try since they make fresh pasta. It was fairly decent i would have preferred my pasta to be cooked a little longer. Nephew seemed to enjoy his dishes Pipette Ragu & Affogato espresso w/ vanilla ice cream. The staff was attentive I loved that. They have 2 locations in Brooklyn yes I would return and I recommend you trying it. The neighborhood is lively and friendly. Oh did i mention its extremely affordable.

Great experience. Knowledgeable staff. Many GF options.

Kunal Desai

My son and I are both vegetarian and we both have Celiac Disease. I highly recommend for anyone with Celiac Disease who is looking for variety of options.

Melany Di Blasio

What a great place! 🫶🏻✨ 10/10 service, 10/10 gluten-free pizza, Argentinian owner. And everyone who works there treated us super well. We arrived when the kitchen was almost closing, and they still served us. The best of NY 💪🏻💫

gabriel vaz

best gluten free that my wife have tried

Catherine M

The best gf pasta and italian bread, wonderful service

Fran Fran

Highly recommended, they also have a gluten-free menu. The portions are exaggerated and 3-4 people eat each one. We liked it a lot and very good atmosphere

Brigit R

Have to come back soon. Great gluten free options food and family atmosphere

Liz Lawson-Young

Great experience and great food. My friend has celiac and they have GF options. The GF pasta was delicious and the server was very attentive to the need for GF.

Heidi Nihtilä

Such a cute place! Food was amazing, and I'm so happy they have gluten free pasta as well! Service and atmosphere were both amazing!

Neil McGrath

Wonderful afternoon at Da Gennaro! The lively music and welcoming atmosphere drew us in. Our waiter Aldrin was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our party of three had everything we needed. The food was fresh and delicious, with great gluten-free pasta options. Highly recommend for a relaxing and tasty afternoon meal!

Jill Harth

Yuck. The worst pasta bolognese I ever tried and terrible gluten free rigatoni. I couldn’t eat it. The mixed greens salad was just okay. It’s a very noisy place and the female hostess working that evening had a bad attitude. She didn’t want to seat me at a two top table while eating alone. There were tables available. If you want excellent Italian food this is not where you go.

Kimberly Goughnour

Good overall, good gluten free pasta. But I find it to be a bit over-rated. Desserts are not that good. Flavor is always off. They’ve messed up my delivery orders multiple times with no attempt to make it right.

eva diva

I have celiac and our server Kevin was so helpful! He let me know what i could and couldn’t have on the menu and answered every question. Going out to eat is hard with celiac so having a server like Kevin is a blessing and very comforting knowing i won’t be glutened.

Steven Pichette

Excellent service and gluten free meat lovers pizza

This has become our absolute go-to spot whenever we’re heading to Broadway for a show. Whether we’re seeing a matinee or catching an evening performance, this restaurant is perfectly located—just a short, easy walk to and from most of the major theaters. The convenience alone would make it worth a visit, but it’s the consistently great food and service that keep us coming back. The menu is broad enough to please a variety of tastes, and we’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or something on the lighter side, there’s always a solid selection. They offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, and there are even a few vegetable-forward and salad choices for those seeking vegan fare. It’s refreshing to find a place in the Theater District that doesn’t treat dietary restrictions like an afterthought. Service is always prompt, professional, and genuinely friendly—even when they’re busy. It’s clear the staff are used to handling pre-show crowds, and they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed. There’s plenty of seating, and they’re able to accommodate groups of various sizes without much trouble. That said, if you’re with a larger party, I’d highly recommend making a reservation in advance. While the wait is typically reasonable, especially considering the area, bigger groups may wait a bit longer during peak hours. As for the atmosphere, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bustling, popular spot in Midtown Manhattan: energetic, lively, and often filled with a mix of tourists and locals discussing the shows they’ve just seen or are about to see. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, this probably isn’t the place—but if you’re in the mood to soak up the electric pre-show energy of the Broadway scene, it’s ideal. All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between location, quality, and value. It’s a reliable favorite that helps round out the Broadway experience in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Theater District.

Ian Allred

Absolutely delicious, attentive staff, and plenty of gluten free options
