Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens Across Texas

Emily Colgan

In town for a conference and needed a place with gluten free options. Sherry, or server, right away asked if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of. I told her I had celiacs. She informed the kitchen and Orlando can it and discussed with me while the have gluten free dough and will do their absolute best not to cross contaminate he could not 100% guarantee it. I very much appreciated his honestly and told him I would give it a shot. I preferred the Vera Margerita pizza. It was the absolute BEST pizza I have had in a really long time. I am full, happy and had no reaction. My husband had the duck pappradell pasta and loved it. Thank you guys for a wonderful tasty evening and the thunderstorm did make for a great show!

Y’all. We just found the most amazing Italian restaurant in Dallas—and nearly everything can be made gluten-free! 😭🍝 We were out on a date night and happened to drive past @kennysitaliankitchen—I had it on my list because I’d heard they had gluten-free options. So glad we stopped! Our waitress told us that almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free—and it’s celiac-safe, prepped in a separate part of the kitchen. That alone made my night! Even better? They had vegetarian options too. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and let me tell you… it was next-level good. Perfectly crunchy (not soggy like it usually is), with a rich, flavorful sauce. You can literally see the crispy texture in the dish—absolutely beautiful and delicious. And yes—they have gluten-free bread! Soft, warm, fluffy little pillows of joy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat at Italian restaurants watching everyone else eat bread while I sip water. Not this time. 🥹 The vibe? Classic and cozy—checkered tablecloths, soft candlelight, family photos on the walls, and Italian music floating through the air. Total old-school charm. They can also make regular (non-GF) versions of dishes, so everyone in your group will be happy. Honestly, everything was incredible. This place is an absolute gem, and I already know I’ll be back very soon!

We hosted a party here for graduation. Two of our party are celiac. The staff was flawless in making this a gluten free experience with out any awkward moments or missteps. The food beyond that was absolutely exceptional. Top 3 dinning experiences ever. From cocktails to appetizers, main meal, and dessert. Excellent.

Oliva popped into our google search while we were in Ft. Worth. When we saw it had gluten-free options, we decided to try it out. The restaurant was packed upon arrival, and we were told it was Graduation Weekend. We were seated within just a few minutes of our arrival. I asked for the gluten-free menu - a lot of options on it, including desserts. However, the menu item I ordered came out with spaghetti noodles instead of linguine, without warning. I chose not to say anything because pasta is pasta. I also ordered the minestrone and was surprised by the huge portion. It tasted good and was gluten-free - no pasta or beans in the minestrone, so basically vegetable soup. My husband ordered the tortellini with chicken, and while there was ample chicken, there were few vegetables on the dish. I found the same problem with my meal - a vegetarian option, with very few veggies and mostly pasta. The pasta was swimming in water, which might be traditional, but if you like your pasta 'drier,' you'll need to ask them to drain it before placing it into the dish. Plenty of leftovers to take home - had 2 more small meals from them. Oliva is well-lit when sitting in the front room or near the windows, but very dim near the back of it, toward the bathrooms and kitchen. The furniture is nothing special - the use of plastic placemats instead of tablecloths is not impressive. The service was good, and everyone appeared to be very busy, friendly, and willing. If you imbibe in Limoncello, you don't want to miss the housemade! It is served in a cordial glass, ice cold, and very refreshing. Overall, I feel this is a nice, casual, family eatery that has confidence in the service of their clientele. Oliva has plenty of options, and the food and service are good while not being overly pricey.

Great pizza place. Great service by Marko - thank you. Pizza comes on 13” with 6 slices. Mine was pepperoni, sausage, jalapeños and extra cheese. Crust is very thin; almost cracker like. Great flavor. Not a lot of cheese and crust was slightly burned. It was very good. 13” pizzas were $18-20 each. I could only eat 4 of 6 slices. In fact all the adults in our party had 4 slices. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. My son and his wife had the Star Luca pizza which is similar but crust folder with Ricotta cheese in it. They ordered separate pizzas and ate 4 slices. My wife had the meat lovers with gluten free crust and vegan cheese. Everyone loved their pizzas. We did start with the Caesar salad. It is served daily style and easily is enough for 4-5 people. For sure this is a nice place, but it is not cheap. We spent $125 plus tip for 5 people. We were stuffed, happy and left with enough leftovers for dinner.

always the best time here! tried the coffee cake and gluten free chocolate cake with strawberry icing and glaze. perfection! definitely will be coming back to try the other desserts!

Rhonda Selph

The gluten free Bolognesa was the best pasta dish I have ever had. Lexi was an upbeat, fun server as well. Will definitely be going back.

Mark Puente

Ordered a quick to go gluten free/dairy free calzone and it was fantastic! Definitely will be getting another one soon!

Maryam A

They have gluten free pizza and it actually tastes good! It’s a bit expensive though. I haven’t been inside because my husband usually picks it up but we really enjoy it.

David Moore

Moving to Vickery was the death knell for this pizza place. They were always my wife’s comparative for their gluten free pizza. Wherever we tried gluten free pizza it always failed in comparison to Palio’s. Even in Italy where we spent the month of April. Nothing was as good as Palio’s. Now it’s nothing more than an ordering station and seating for about ten. We tried the new location today and walked out because another customer had called “dibs” on all the standard tables. Apparently she had a party of people coming, but had not arrived yet. As much as I hate this, I predict Palio’s on Vickery will be closed within six months. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t order pizza to go. It’s never as good as eating it at the restaurant.

Cecilia McFeters

Jonathan was amazing, so hospitable and knowledgeable! Gluten free options and omg was it amazing. To get a Primavera, grilled chicken, GF and to be so flavorful! The entire experience was 5 stars!

Sarah Alderman

My Gluten free people!!! Run, dont walk. rC's has absolutely blown me away with their GF options. I've always enjoyed their GF pizza, and often buy dough from them for our pizza oven- always amazing. They now have a thick crust Sicilian style that is everything you could ask for. Crispy, fluffy, crispy cheesy side - think pan pizza or deep dish. It AMAZING. They use the same base for bread sticks, cheesy garlic bread, and their spinach artichoke dip. All GF. They have an entire menu for it!!! Even Pasta! If you haven't been in a while, or have never tried RC's, they need to be on your GF safe list. Go treat yourself!!

Beth Coyle Mueller

Easy, comfortable place to get a good meal and glass of wine. Watch sports in the bar area, or enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio covered in greenery when the weather is nice. Great menu, everything is always fresh. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available. Servers are cheerful, mostly college students, they are attentive without bugging you. Pasta substitutions can be made... I asked for fettuccine instead of penne, no problem. Portions are generous, I always have to take some home! There are a few quiet corners, but it's mostly a wide open and friendly place with lots of conversations going.

Hunter Bradford

My family and I had a wonderful time here. The wait staff was very kind and accommodating to some of us needing gluten free options. They even had their own gluten free menu which made it very easy to find what we wanted to eat. My wife is not gluten free and loved the bread. Not to mention, all pasta and pizza dough is made from scratch every morning. I love the idea of knowing my food hasn’t been sitting for days in a fridge. When I’m back in South Padre, I would dine here again.

The food was amazing! I am gluten free, and they surprisingly had gluten free pizza! It was so delicious and good! All of my friends food was amazing and everything was a fair price, but the service wasn’t great whatsoever. It wasn’t busy, we sat down and didn’t get our drinks for about ten minutes, it took about another 10-15 minutes for our server to come back and take our order, we ordered and our food came out quickly but our server didn’t ask if we needed anything, refill our drinks or anything until we were already done. The food was great but the service wasn’t at all.

Heather Knapp

I absolutely loved this!!!!! gluten-free beer and pizza!!! I let the server know I was Gluten Free and they made sure to show me all my options. They can accommodate most of the menu to be Gluten Free!

Inga Bentley

Grabbed take out and it was super easy to order online and grab to go. Ordered the gluten free crust and both pizzas were phenomenal! Would get again.

Non Gluten Eaters— This review is for you. We were looking for somewhere to eat dinner where we could watch a hockey game and I could eat decent food as a gluten free eater. Taverna Rossa had a good amount of TVs and a gluten free menu to make those options accessible and easy to find. They verified whether I had an allergy. I tried the chips & queso, which I enjoyed. The GF vegan pizza crust was decent and the amount of toppings on it was a good balance. I also tried a cider and their root beer on tap. The service was good (even helping me find a good table to have multiple views of TVs for our party). Great that the restrooms were clean too. I’d definitely recommend trying out this place if you’re looking for either of these things!

Jenna

Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff. You can also follow my journey navigating gluten-free life with EoE over at @glutenfreewitheoe on Instagram for more great finds!

Abigail Deegan

I’m completely gluten free, so I haven’t had good pizza in a long time. This place has gluten free options in the pizza, Pasta, and wings. I got the GF Sicilian style pizza and I was extremely surprised, it was so so so fluffy and airy. Genuinely the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. My boyfriend got the deep dish chicago style and he said it was the best he’d ever had too! We will DEFINITELY be coming back!!! Also the service was great and the workers were very friendly!

Lulu Tapia

Great and quick service, delicious food. So happy we came here tonight. Allen made our night amazing. Had good recommendations and was quick to help us decide between dishes. The tiramisu was a nice treat. If you are gluten free, this is the ONLY place in Fredericksburg that has had options that didn't end up being a salad!

Kenneth Barnett

Gluten free menu is great for Italian cuisine!

Ash

Love their gluten free options!

Gianna King

Little bit to loud for kids and to have a good conversation. Food was really good and service was fantastic! Gluten free pizza was amazing!

Kendra Harris

Worth the wait! I did the “build your own pasta” with the gluten free pasta & parmesan cheese sauce, which was delicious - being able to mix & match their pasta options to all be GF was great. Husband got the chicken parm & absolutely loved it too. Portion sizes were very generous! We chose 4/5 as for an Italian restaurant, we were hoping for a bread appetizer that most restaurants offer, but we didn’t have that. And we do agree with the other reviewers that it is a little slow, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. Staff were all very kind & personable!

Lawrence “Junior” Yaklin

Seating was quick even though it appeared relatively busy. Our server was professional and polite. The large variety of gluten free items they offer is nothing like I have ever seen. My daughter has a gluten allergy and it can be a challenge when we go out to eat but Zanata turned the challenge from finding a place that offers gluten free to a challenge of deciding which meal to order from so many they offer. The pizza was superb according to my daughter. The meatball lasagna was phenomenal and I barely had enough room in my stomach to fit it all.

MICHAEL G.

Had a great time eating here! There aren't a lot of good Italian restaurants in the area but this is an exception. Everything was made to order. Chelsy was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the wine list and had a great spirit. Food was amazing, and the gluten-free options were plentiful. The one con to this place is the noise. On a busy day it gets loud and hard to hear the person next to you. But other than that I was happy with my experience and definitely will re-visit when I come back to visit this area again

McKenzie Packer

absolutely fantastic. the gluten free crust option is the best gluten free crust I’ve ever had. sergio is also amazing and took excellent care of us! we will definitely be back!

Kristina Nave

Great atmosphere and the very best gluten-free pizza around. Highly recommend!

MrJr

So far, the best gluten-free pizza around. And at a reasonable price. Always great service. Need to control myself or else I'd go bankrupt eating these pizzas.

Hearty servings. Chunky pasta sauces. Three meals, one drink, and one beer plus tax for $60 not including tip. Service is excellent. This is not a quiet place, no one was talking loudly, but it was a busy hour. I didn't order pizza, but other tables that had, it looked delicious. The price for one of their XL specialty pizza was $20 and XL gourmet pizzas $21. Very acceptable. Calzone was super stuffed, two people can eat heartily. Chicken Saltimbocca was delicious and light (no pasta), but also hearty. The only downer for me personally, is that they don't offer a salad with your meal. They do offer these oh-so-heavenly bread twists when they bring your drinks. They also offer a gluten free menu. Overall, I will go back for a casual Italian meal. If you remember Romano's Macaroni Grill, this place, food wise, is about the same - in my opinion.

Mischelle Arbelaez

Wonderful casual Italian fare. The Fettuccine Leonardo was amazing! Gluten free penne available. Will definitely be back!

Jean Young

Delma Gonzalez

Absolutely love the their gluten free pizza! Fantastic!! Pepperoni, jalapeños and onions!! Bartenders Jasmine and Marie can pour you an exceptional drink with a top off if you like, and yes, I do! Manager Julio and kitchen manager Adrian fantastic and salt of the earth! Highly Recommend Parry’s South Rim, San Antonio. It does not disappoint!!

Stefanie Chafin

Love Via 313! Im gluten-free and this is by far my favorite place to get pizza from!

magic magsk

Great gluten free pasta

Emily Peterson

Took FOREVER. We got the wrong pizza & had to figure out ourselves whose it actually was. The pizza was so burnt & dry. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The gluten-free pizza was good but the other pizza took another 50 mins to come out so my family couldn’t eat together. My mom had to go ask about our pizza and then they finally brought it out.

Douglas Connell

Daniel took great care of us from the moment we walked in. It was lunchtime but we didn’t have to wait at all. This was the last time I’ll get to eat at Eno’s for a while since I’m about to start chemo, but I told him before we left that once I am in the clear again, we’ll come back to celebrate. As for a food recommendation: get the Pig Smiley - even on gluten free crust, it’s the bomb.

Abigail Alvarez

Great Gluten Free Alfredo but do NOT order with Favor! Management handled this situation well, but I will be sick for multiple days because my order did not display as gluten free when Favor reported it to the restaurant. Thankfully, I had eaten here almost a year ago and remembered that their gluten free alfredo comes with rotini (corkscrew) pasta and not fettuccini noodles so I only had a few bites before calling the restaurant. Roman Cucina has an extensive gluten free menu, and their food tastes great. Plan a time to go in-person and enjoy their weekday drink specials. Five stars for the staff and food. Zero stars for Favor (at this location).

Gluten free pizza 14". One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. Usually the toppings are light and there's barely enough cheese or meat on the pizza. I will definitely be getting another one!

Tom May Real Estate Team

Great service, pizza ( gluten free ) was excellent...

keith singleton

I was a bit hesitant at first as the menu didn't mark off the allergies or gluten. But as the Atly app said this place is absolutely celiac friendly. The staff here is incredible and they really work hard to make the environment here extremely relaxing and energetic at the same time. It's a very good vibe here. I can definitely come here grab a few drinks and grab a bruschetta.. its light. I can get it gluten free, and the drinks are great.

Tonight we had our church volunteer appreciation dinner at Carrabba’s. What an awesome night! The restaurant looks stunning, even more so than usual with all the holiday decorations. I have been coming here for many years, and it is always beautiful and an amazing experience. Tonight Ishmael and Darwin and the support staff were wonderful. I never had to ask for my glass to be refilled, or my plate to be taken. No small task with 25 people in the room for dinner. Being a former server it always is a breath of fresh air to receive excellent service, especially in this day and age of lackluster experiences at most restaurants after 2020. Every modification I asked for was kindly given to me, which I really appreciated because of being gluten free but still wanting the chicken Marsala. They had a smile on their face after any request that was made by anyone at the table, and I felt like family as I sat there. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken Marsala here is probably the best I’ve ever had. I ate the chicken Marsala at one of the franchises of Carraba’s at the airport in Atlanta in October and it was not even close. It didn’t even compare to how delicious the food is here st the Original. The servers even knew exactly when to close the doors so that we could have some quiet while we ate, visited, played a game, and went around the room to talk about the past year and our grateful hearts for our church family and our pastors. Although I do my best to give compliments instead of complaints, I don’t always succeed in remembering to do it. However, I had to post a review now while I was thinking about it so you would know how happy the whole group was with the meal and the service. Thanks for always being consistently great, guys!

Laura Moreno

Our server Margie made it incredible and was so accommodating to my dairy and gluten allergies- I got a vegan Nutella gluten free pizza and added the bananas!

Zach Miller

I would give Pizza Birra Vino a 10 out of 5 if Google would let me. Hands down the best gluten free pizza I have ever had in my life, anywhere! Just absolutely delicious, as is everything else they make. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and no detail is spared with their food. Customer service is also top notch. We eat here on a weekly basis and will do so indefinitely. You will be glad you ate here!

jackie acevedo

The gluten free Alfredo was lacking in flavor and not worth the price

Roger Horner

Pizza was great, gluten-free

Twila Henderson

Customized my gluten free pizza and it was fabulous
