Top 11 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in North Virginia Beach

Mary Giangregorio

We entertain our 'out of town' family every summer, and every year, they request Ynot Italian for a big family dinner. It's a place that never disappoints! Everyone finds a delicious choice for dinner, even our gluten free family members..with no fuss! The staff are very friendly and so efficient. It's a fantastic family restaurant!

Excellent pizza and fast and friendly service. My wife has a gluten allergy and she ordered their gluten free pizza and loved it. I would highly recommend this place.

This is a very nice place to pop in and grab a bite. The gluten free pizza was very good and salad was nice and fresh which I really appreciate. Our waiter was kind and helpful and informative. They seemed to be fighting about the music somewhat - that was kind of interesting. The place seemed clean and everything came out speedy quick even on Valentine’s Day!!!

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and took their time to explain which foods were gluten free.

Ordered the gluten free pasta with shrimp and scallops, was given the wrong pasta unknowingly. Began eating the seafood first when a male waiter who is not our server caught the mistake and told our waitress Sabrina that she gave me the wrong pasta. I had already been picking at the food and ate off it and then she came over with my new plate. I figured since I was already eating off this plate they were going to throw it away so I asked her if she could at least let me have some of the seafood I had already started on with my new plate and she could just take the pasta away. I thought it was reasonable request especially considering the significant error and I assumed they were just going to throw it away anyway. But she said she had to bring it back to the kitchen so they can make a new one. It is then I realized they were probably going to give that food to somebody else! After I already ate on the plate, there is no doubt in my mind. The portion has also become much smaller than I rememer. The bathrooms were disgusting, the dining area was very nice I would say five stars but then you walk into the bathroom and it's like a two-star place.

So many gluten free options and Barilla GF spaghetti.

Nice place, with a flare of casual elegance. Food was delicious. Wine menu is fairly good, would like to see a few more euro wines. Accommodating to those with dietary needs such as being gluten free.

We had the marinated portobello's, and the roasted garlic and goat cheese appetizer. My friend I was with has celiac disease so they made us a cauliflower pizza crust with drizzled garlic and olive oil and it was divine.

In the top 3 best restaurants in VB. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The food was beyond my expectations. Incredible drinks. Everyone working there was so kind. This place is up there with Steinhilbers and Mizunos. They even had gluten free and while wheat options for the pasta!!! So so so insanely good.

I have always loved Aldo’s but tonight’s experience was lack luster at best. Our server, Ashton, was forgetful and inattentive. He didn’t really seem that well educated on the menu. I asked about the gluten free options, his response was we have gluten free pasta but he didn’t know if anything else on the menu was gluten free. The restaurant was very busy, and could have possibly been understaffed which might account for the poor service. We were there for a very long time before he finally took our orders. He forgot to ring in my drink twice. We had to repeatedly ask for more water. The food runners gave the appetizers to the wrong people. My lamb chops had zero flavor. The shrimp Gorgonzola were very tasty. My crème brûlée was awful. Not once during the entire meal did he ask any of us how anything was. Honestly we were all starving so most of us just ate the food despite it not being great. One person did return theirs because it tasted off. At the end he plopped the check down and walked off. There were nine of us. He didn’t even think to ask if it was separate checks. When we asked him to separate the check he went into what a hassle it would be because they don’t have seat numbers and he threw out the paper he wrote the order down on so he didn’t know who had what. Incredibly unprofessional. At no point during the evening did a manager check on us to see how our experience was. Not the dining experience I am used to. The icing on the cake was when I got home and opened my Togo Napoleon and it was a piece of cake. Our bill was over $900 but the food and service were not worth anywhere near that amount. I won’t be going back anytime soon. Such a shame, it used to be a great place to eat.

We visit VA. Beach every year but have never eaten at this place until this year. Wow, loved this place. Our waitress was personable and very attentive. My husband ordered a slice of pizza and was so happy with it he had to order a second slice. I am usually gluten free but simply had to try a bite myself and it was fantastic. I also ordered bacon cheese fries and they were made to perfection using real shredded cheese and baked in the pizza oven which resulted in yummy gooey cheese with perfectly crisp on the outside fries. The portions were perfect and the price point was absolutely reasonable for an afternoon lunch. Being from Philadelphia and New York, we are usually harsh critics when it comes to pizza and cheese fries. This place was spot on and we will be back to eat here again.
