Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Danbury

Eleanor McClellan

I have to begin by saying that my experience at J Law Kitchen & Craft Bar was outstanding! We hosted a bridal shower for my daughter and it was such a great event! The Event Manager, Clara was so helpful from the first time I contacted her. We met to discuss decorations, menu options and how the room would be set up. My daughter, as well as a few guests required a gluten free menu and we had so many options! The day of the shower, the bridesmaids were able to get into the room in plenty of time to decorate before the guests arrived. The buffet was set up just off the sitting room which made it so easy to move about. Our main server, Jayra was on top of all the drink orders and plates were cleared efficiently. All of the guests were very complimentary of the food and the service.

Enjoyed a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my Valentine here. Nice atmosphere with a few pretty floral additions and also had a rose for each couple as a parting gift. Very busy with a bit of a line when we were heading out - was happy to have made a reservation on OpenTable. Our server, Jess, was awesome. Super nice with a sense of humor to deftly counter my witty commentary. Since both Sauvignon Blancs in the glass were from New Zealand I wasn’t sure which to choose and Jess was kind enough to bring a taste of each. As we were catching up over a delicious IIPA and a glass of wine from the rather large list (but limited availability for glasses vs bottles), we noticed the music was quite loud - not sure if valentines related or typical. We started with the Farm to Table board which was yummy but should have been called Brussels Sprouts with lots (and lots) of fig jam and a hint of prosciutto. Only a couple thin slices under a mound of fried sprouts. Sprouts were voluminous and tasty but little overdone IMHO. Also needed more salt, pistachios, and burrata. For our mains, we had the Skillet Roasted Salmon and the Nachos. Salmon was very tasty. We ordered medium rare and it was definitely more cooked through. Nice sweetness in the sauce that complimented the unctuousness of the salmon. Could have used a touch more acid and more of the crunch from the pistachios. Toothsome risotto that was very squashy (in a good way)! Nachos were huge with a nice layer of melted cheese and a delicious cheese sauce in addition to the chicken. Definitely a good amount of spice - not sure if in the sauce or only from the peppers. Only criticism was the Arugula. I loves me some peppery lettuce, but just felt like an odd addition on Nachos. Actually, another complaint - Top layer was awesome but you’re left with a pile of baked naked chips underneath. Overall - great atmosphere and good food. Tons of Gluten Free options with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thumbs up!

Great food and easy to see gluten free options

Ted Rogers

Love it. Recommended to me by a coworker and almost immediately became my regular coffee stop. Specialty drinks are all pretty delicious. Large iced coffees come in a tub for those who drink it year round and multiple dairy options are available with milk, cream, and nut choices. The pastries are also tasty with vegan and gluten free options. The staff is friendly, funny, and knows how to get you caffeinated. Between all that and the atmosphere it's exactly what I picture in my head when I think of a local coffee shop. Most stand out moment was being asked if my drink was too dark. I don't like a lot of milk so little things like that make a difference to my experience.

Stephanie Santoro

Delicious, safe pho and spring rolls! I’ve been eating here for years as a celiac and never gotten sick. I’ve eaten many dishes on the menu and the staff are knowledgeable about what is safe.

James Murphy

We had dinner here and my wife had her best gluten free French dip in at least 10 years. Thank you for making her dinner so special.

First time there to try the gluten free pizza. It was great. Definitely worth a visit to see for yourself. House salad with the house dressing was tasty. The owner was there and was very welcoming with a chill vibe. I definitely recommend this spot.

Ray Turchuk

Very accommodating for my fiancé with a gluten allergy

Jay Gee

Stopped on way to Massachusetts. Great breakfast and gluten free options also! Definitely a great diner.

I took. Home hummus with herbs. fresh! Kept fresh for 11 days, yummy. I ate a cabbage slaw with a lentil bean mixture. Portion large. Took home and had for 2 more meals. Gluten free and vegan.

Allison Carballo

I have Celiac Disease and having to be gluten free really made me miss pizza! Tuscanero's has the best gluten free pizza! Very creative topping arrangements and super tasty! Good salads and grilled chicken too!

We have been coming here since sometime last year. There has not been a single instance where the food wasn't perfection. Walking into the restaurant we are treated like family. The service, the food, the atmosphere is a 10/10 every single time. We must have been here or gotten take out at least 15 times at this point and we plan on continuing dining at this amazing little place for years to come. The specials are delicious, and regular menu items are absolutely wonderful and made to perfection. My husband has celiac and he has never come home sick, which is pretty incredible for a place that specializes in Mediterranean food. Keep up the amazing work guys. See you soon, I'm sure!

William S Sobel

not sure how it is for daily dining as I was there for a private event. The menu appears to have limited gluten-free selections however the chef is more than happy to customize

Paula Habib

They handled my Celiac ( gluten-free) and everything was terrific.

Still River Editions

Excellent sandwhich. So glad they offer gluten free breads and treats!

Bert Rivero

Food is always delicious here. The pasta is always great. They have gluten free pasta and will also try and make any dish gluten free. It is a family run business and they all put their heart and soul into the place. The staff is always very welcoming and make you feel at home. You will not be disappointed!!!

Lucinda Megill Legendre

Fine. Yummy gluten free option

Jennifer Tomaino

We love this place! Husband has celiac and they are very celiac friendly. The food is amazing - we’ve had nachos, Caesar salad with shrimp, a burger and pulled chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. The service is always super friendly. Great spot to sit at the bar for drinks and dinner.

Sam Stern

Absolutely fantastic food. Friendly service and they accommodate both vegan and gluten free orders. One of our favorite restaurants in the area!

Lisa Coleman

This place is wonderful for anyone interested in both authentic Korean and Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is small and very popular so space can be quite tight. I don't know if they take reservations as we four just walked in and were seated right away by our friendly hostess. Service here was fantastic. The head chef, probably an owner actually came over to our table to show me how my meal, Bibimbap, was supposed to be eaten and then demonstrated by mixing up my sizzling dinner bowl. He was very helpful and kind. There was another table of 5 where someone was very allergic to gluten and both the owner and the hostess were advising them of suitable, gluten-free choices which were also plentiful. Vegan options are as well. Prices may seem high at first but serving sizes were generous. Three of us took home nice, doggy bags of our meals. Thanks again for the fine service and very delicious meals. We will be back!

Bob Kryger

The food was good, loved the fries, surprised at how good the coleslaw was. It was not a good night for the rice pudding though. They had a nice gluten free bun for my sandwich. One vegan, one celiac, two thumbs up

Leah Kaliszewski

Tasty gluten free pasta, but the place was packed and the waiter seems overwhelmed. Took forever to take our check so we could leave!

kelly lareau

Always fantastic service! I especially appreciate the extra precautions taken for being gluten free.

Lesley j

My first visit was wonderful! The food was excellent, and the portions were huge. There were also many gluten free options. Everyone was friendly. Will definitely go again.

Daniella Fiorilli

Best pho ever! We're gluten free and had so many choices!

A G

Food was delicious, but the excellentvservice is what sets this place apart! The grilled sardines were such a treat! They were very accommodating of our gluten free needs. I will definitely be coming back here again!

Robert Melillo

First time here, Wonderful service by Pete and Mika. (Spelling I’m unsure of.) I had a solo lunch date around 2 pm on a weekday. DELICIOUS!!! No one was there to sit or greet me, but that didn’t bother me. Poked my head around the corner and was immediately acknowledged warmly and seated, by Pete. Pete was also my server. I explained it was my first time and expressed excitement about it. He was incredibly helpful answering any questions I had. He was extremely personable and energetic! Pete also went above In beyond with giving me extra info, including showing me the restaurant’s allergen card and informed me about the offers receivable for downloading the Chili’s app. I am gluten free, when I informed him, he immediately pulled up the allergen card on the tables tablet/ POS system!! (Most restaurants do not know they have these, where to find it or even have one at all.) The menu had THE BEST gluten free options. Very straightforward and I know what I need to avoid. Most restaurants I am unable to consume 75-90% of the menu. This is the best restaurant menu I have ever experienced. Although the franchise itself doesn’t offer GF bread substitutes- it didn’t phase me at all. I was able to consume 90- 95 % of the menu!!!! I was overwhelmed with the wholesome and diverse menu! Amazing. I ordered the lunch special of shrimp fajitas. And 1/2 size Texas Fries and added chili to them. The fries were incredibly satisfying! They were presented beautifully in the cutest mini cast iron pan atop a wood plank. They were gorgeous in presentation and tasted amazing! The fries had melted cheese, scallion, jalapeños and I added chili. Came with a delicious ranch /sour cream sauce. The dish was wonderfully spicy so I asked for more sauce and Mika happily brought me a jumbo ranch/ sour cream sauce! I’m a dipper so I really appreciated that! The chili was simple yet flavorful. This dish was definitely full of character. A simple dish, yet lots of love was put into it that could undoubtedly be tasted! The only odd thing I experienced was the toilet seat in the ladies room was completely detached. Clean restaurant with a calm and inviting atmosphere. The shrimp fajita lunch special was an absolute banger! The sizzling fajita plate is always a magical experience of the senses. Extremely great value item. I switched out flour tortilla for corn. Hot and delicious! Came with a separate boat of Guac, sour cream and shredded cheese. Nice presentation on both components. Came with an awesome bean soup concoction. I tasted each component of the dish and sides separately and it was again, just full of love, care and flavor! Guac could’ve had more salt and lime juice. That dish was pure perfection! I ordered a Buffalo chx sandwich to take home for my boyfriend. He inhaled it and said it was top notch! I must stress how amazing the service I received was. Peter went above and beyond for my first experience at Chili’s. He was astoundingly personable and attentive! Mika was food runner. Again, service within a smile and very welcoming and attentive. Fast service! Delicious food, zen and peaceful atmosphere. I cannot wait to go back!!!!!!!

Emmanuel Amazing

High quality food and good service ， but, if they have gluten free bread, will wonderful!

Brad Morris

This place is incredibly good. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. I recommend the bacon wrapped chicken and spicey sausage, but you can't go wrong with anything. A sleeper item is the gluten free cheese rolls. They are just good, GF or not. We usually grab some to take home too.

Tom Ely

Great value food, friendly service and gluten free options!

PhoenixXFeatherz

Fast, friendly, and awesome gluten free pizza!!!!!!

Julianne

Great options and comfortable for ordering gluten free...They happily and automatically change gloves when the allergy is mentioned, one person completes the order, and the allergen chart is posted where you order. I feel much more gluten-safe eating here than Moe's (sorry Moe's...process is not predictably safe...wish it were). Thank you, Salsa Fresca!

Kellie Hersom

Just passing through, one member of our party has a gluten allergy! We called and they were very accommodating! The specials our party ordered were delicious! As were the beverages and desserts. The chocolate mousse melted in the mouth! Our server, Chris F, was knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. We will be back again, even though it's a 4 hour ride for us. It's worth it!

Lisa Russo Torres

Thrilled they have gluten free options. I’ll be back again soon!

Julianne

Fresh food. Gluten-free friendly.

Doreen Pastorok

Went for a birthday lunch today, party of 9. It was a great time. I have never had anything bad to eat at Luigi's. Food is always fresh and delicious. And the have many gluten free options. The gluten free chocolate cake was out of this world. All handmade desserts. I highly recommend. Beautifully remodeled and they are always accomadating!!!! Go!! You won't be sorry.

Chelsee beck

This place was great. The food was fantastic. Service was okay, nothing special (as an industry worker), I didn’t feel like it was as fancy as a $250 check for 2 people, but the food was amazing and I would definitely return. The steak special was okay, we probably wouldn’t order it again, the Pollo Martini was amazing, the sauce and mashed was a great compliment to the dish. I tried some table side dessert and it was probably my favorite part. Cheese cake is worth ever bite! The lights inside make it magic when it’s dark, we sat by the windows when it was light out and didn’t really have the fine dine feeling like you do in the back but it got dark later on and the lights inside were beautiful. If someone does have gluten allergies they have GF option listen on the menu however it doesn’t seem like it was a concern to anyone even though I did mention it to the first person who served us, and I did have to do my own digging to figure out what contained gluten. I have celiacs (roughly 15% of the population does) but I’ve realized more and more people don’t consume it and thought it would be a subjection if never thought of before. The beer on the menu didn’t match what was on tap or available, the first two things we ordered were out. Overall! I will return! 🤤

Mia Fish

We recently did take out and i was excited to be able to get some gluten free food. We found it was all noodles and very very little protein in the 3 dishes we ordered. We felt like we paid $60 for noodles. The noodles were good it not what we thought it would be. So we wont be going back. It’s good to see many like this place. Also the woman who answered the phone asked me to order online because she was busy. Understandable but she wasn’t friendly sounding at all. And pet peeve I don’t like to be asked for a tip for take out food. I mean it goes into a bag. The bag is handed to me.

James

That 10” gluten free pizza was $25. It says $13.99 online but then they charged $11 for the toppings. I’ll never go back. Total rip off! 7/15- Thanks for your cut and paste reply that doesn’t address my complaint one bit. Why would I ever come back and “give you another chance” when you did nothing to address the issue? 7/31. Still no response? I guess no one cares about my complaint. No wonder you have so many of them. 8/27 Still no response. Clearly no one at this company cares about customer feed back.

Rhonda Jonas

This place is Amazing for people who have Celiac disease. Separate kitchen to insure no cross contamination. Great selections on the entire menu. I enjoyed the Chicken Taco Bowl gluten free. Service experience fantastic.

zack haque

This is a hidden gem tucked away on one corner of the mall. They are right next to Chipotle. The food is delicious and unique. I highly recommend Haleem. 5 stars. They serve certain unique items such as Haleem, Nehari and Paya. These are not dishes you will find at a regular Indian restaurant. The cuisine could be called Mughal. They have a lot of gluten-free options. In this mall, that's a bit rare. They should advertise this to bring in more customers. Most people associate Indian food with vegan and vegetarian dishes. They have limited options for vegetarians. The service is food court style. You order your food at the counter and you pick it up when ready. 10 or so minutes seems to be the standard. The atmosphere is casual - no frills.

Carlos Santos

The regular dough pizza is excellent, the gluten-free is great as well. Very nice staff, fast service.

I recently tried Vans Pizza, and I was thoroughly impressed! Their gluten-free pizza with cauliflower crust is a game changer—crispy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The fresh toppings really elevate the experience. I also enjoyed their cucumber soda, which was a refreshing complement to the meal. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious gluten-free options!
