Top 16 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Downtown Seattle

Gluten Free Italian heaven. Pizza, Pasta, Ravioli, GARLIC BREAD, and cheesecake just to name a few. Entirely gluten free menu and just amazing 🥲

Only a couple dishes could be made gluten free and none of the desserts could really be modified to gluten free. Even so the pasta sauce was delicious and made up for the lack of options. We had a dessert red wine (recioto della valpolicella) that was absolutely delicious, the chocolate notes were mouthwatering. Even so for the price and the serving sizes I probably wouldn’t go back, especially if you have a food allergy.

Loved this place given they have lots of dairy free and gluten free options!! I really enjoyed being able to make my own pizza and not worry about food allergies / restrictions! Will be back next time I’m in town!!

Awesome gluten-free pizza!

I love a good dive bar and they are often hard to come by in tourist areas. The Alibi Room is a true gem. Small and quaint with a fun staff and amazing food. They are very dietary restriction friendly. I was able to eat vegan and gluten free. The vegan pizza is incredible. No fake lab created cheese, just real food and really good. Chickpeas on pizza? Yes please!

Amazing experience. Great prices. Gluten free options. The night manager or owner, Mark, was so amazing. So personable and so kind.

Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.

Nice atmosphere and talented waiter. Food was disappointing. The Milanese was tough, the side dish of kale had an identity crisis not knowing if it was cooked or raw, the apples on the kale were very firm, again some uncertainty whether they were intended to be cooked or raw. The dish ate very dry. The orecchiette had a decent sauce but the pasta was overcooked. The arugula salad was a bag of greens with salad dressing. On the positive side, the salad was not overdressed and the dressing was distributed evenly over the salad. We did not get the soft egg offered with the salad, perhaps that would have improved it. The restaurant was crowded so seems popular with other diners. They offered gluten free options which was helpful to some in our party.

I found my favorite pasta place! As someone who rarely visits Italian restaurants due to gluten intolerances, I took a chance with this place and do not regret one bit. The linguini nere Al Salmone might be the best pasta I’ve ever had, it had the perfect balance of creaminess but not too heavy, and the squid ink is barely detectable. The ravioli’s creamy sauce was delicious. The risotto was also good, a little too tomatoey but a solid 7.5/10. We also got the bruschetta and garlic bread which paired really nicely with the balsamic olive oil that they serve. It’s very pricey, with tip it costed us $200 for 4 adults. It’s definitely a place to go to once in a while for an occasion. Ambience is romantic and also comforting. If you’re looking to go to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, this place is it.

We came here on a Tuesday night and it had a line out the door. I think maybe because the hostess didn't know how to utilize other people to help her seat people. It's a nice place located on the lower lever of Pike Place Market. However, waiting outside for your table is quite interesting as the market staff or city workers (it wasn't clear which) washed down the steps and streets/flooring within the center with fire hoses to get rid of the urine. It's almost as bad at Bourbon Street in New Orleans. They sat us and immediately took our drinks. Our group ended up drinking four bottles of wine. I had a Moscow mule and they made it exceptionally well. We ordered a number of appetizers for the table: Arancini - these were fabulous and large in size. Focaccia - this came with a garlic oil, but was not over the top with garlic flavor. Truthfully, they shouldn't charge you for this and just bring it to your table. Charging $4 per order is silly. Sauteed Calamari - my friends said this was pretty good, but I'm allergic, so I did not partake. Next, we ordered our meals. It's a hard menu for those with some dietary restrictions. One member of our group needs gluten free options (there was only one pasta dis (though he could have had the gluten-free pasta with any pasta dish). He didn't want steak or chicken as you could get those anywhere. I really like gnocchi, but it came with a heavy cream sauce. I could have asked for the bolognese, but its made with veal and lamb, neither which I'm a fan of. They had some more seafood dishes, again, I'm not a fish person (just basically eat shrimp). So I ordered the chicken parmigiana (I normally don't order a fried chicken breast that is smothered in marinara and covered in cheese and then baked, because there are generally better pasta options, but not here. It's very frou-frou. The chicken parm was fantastic! It came with two chicken breasts and atop a heaping pile of small shell noodles covered in marinara and parmesan cheese. This is easily shared with two or three people. I would have brought it home had I lived there, but reheated in my hotel room the next day would have been gross. We were so stuffed that no one got dessert. Don't misconstrue my 4 stars for a lacking review. The food, drinks, and service were phenomenal. However, my opinion is that the charging of bread for the table is kind of tacky and it's definitely more of a frou-frou Italian place. If you're looking for more staple Italian dinners, this is not your place. However, it is great for groups, and perfect for a nice dinner or date night.

The food here was wonderful!, the service was friendly and prompt..and they have Gluten Free Pasta!, though not identified on the menu.

Steven Sorenson

Has the wild mushroom fediccini for vegitarian. Frustrating that there is no gluten free and vegan selections, but that can be rare for italian.

Courtney Rincon

Absolutely wonderful! We got the clams and mussels appetizer, crab and cheese ravioli, and gluten free pepperoni & sausage pizza. I wish we had taken photos, but we literally devoured everything. All items were very delicious! We ordered food to go, but they had a few socially distanced tables seated inside (it was snowing out). This place would be great for a romantic dinner. It’s also reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

I heard such great things about Tavolàta, but was sadly greatly disappointed. I ordered my meal with their gluten free pasta, and had to send back the first dish (spaghetti w/ sardines) because it was **unbearably** salty. The second dish, we decided just to switch to the standard spaghetti and tomatoes (still with their *gluten free* pasta)… and I am unsure if they used the same water as they did with their normal pasta or not but I had an allergic reaction immediately after dinner. I expressed to the waitress this was a known allergy so I am not sure what happened, but I will not be going back. I am only giving two stars because our waitress was really nice — please do better.

The outdoor seating at Stella in front of the historic Hotel Sorrento was really comfortable and inviting. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty and had a few surprisingly gluten free options (risotto arrancini) and a delicious pork chop and two great cocktails.
