It's some of the best pizza outside of New Haven. I had the gluten-free pie and it was great. Lots of flour in the air, just FYI for allergies.

The overall experience was fantastic! The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent. I was pleased to find gluten-free options available for my daughter, and my lemon berry crepe was absolutely delicious!

Amazing gluten free pizza. Excellent service and an all around hidden gem in Middletown. I would honestly travel here from New Haven any day.

The restaurant makes everything fresh daily. They also have a large gluten free selection. They also do baking for other restaurants like grinder rolls and more. Thank you so much for our experience.

BEST GLUTEN FREE PAD THAI EVER

Riddhi Jhunjhunwala

I was surprised to see a fully vegan Thai place and this was on my list for a while. We were not disappointed - everything is completely vegan, and they have lots of options. I really loved the tofu pockets and the gluten free dumplings! They noodles were great but I do wish they had more veggies! I would definitely go back.

Hector Acevedo

The food was excellent and they do gluten free very well

If you’re searching for a restaurant for date night, girls night out, or even a special event..look no further! Esca has an impressive menu ranging from exquisite cocktails to enticing appetizers and mouth-watering entrees. For appetizers, we had the burrata & oysters on the half shell. Both appetizers were amazing. I had the seafood cioppino with squid-ink pasta, which was the star of the show. The menu has gluten-free options as well. For my dessert, I indulged the GF chocolate torte & YUM. Gustavo was our waiter; he was accommodating and friendly. When we go back, I am definitely going to request him if he’s there. 10/10 recommend

I grew up on Illianos so I'm a little biased, but I have nearly never had anything less than great. I love the pizza, pasta, breads. All great. My sister gets the gluten free option from Illianos even when we go to a different place for dinner.

Food and service was terrific! They have the best gluten-free pizza and their spaghetti with garlic & oil is wonderful!

I recently visited T-Swirl in Middletown, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The soft opening was perfect, as everything was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was stunning. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was evident that the staff were careful and maintained clean surfaces. The ice cream was heavenly, and the variety of crepes they offer is vast. I ordered the BLT and matcha gelato, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. This place is perfect for a casual lunch with friends or for those who have a sweet tooth. I’m over the moon about all the gluten-free and vegetarian crepes they have. I have gluten-free friends, and this would be the perfect place to treat them to! Overall, I highly recommend T-Swirl for their excellent food and service. A five-star experience!

My husband and I went as part of a date night and were so happy we found this place. What a gem! The first thing I noticed is that the owners are very welcoming! The friendly woman gave us a tour of how the games are set up with different coded stickers. For example, if you want a quick game, look for the certain color sticker on the game box. The games are also in great condition and are very organized. My husband and I had a great time playing the game we chose. We also love that you have excellent coffee and tasty snacks/pastries including gluten free and vegan options. We are also Tolkien fans, so it was pretty cool that it had a Lord of the Rings theme for the decor. We are definitely planning on going back and bringing our daughter with us next time!

I’ve been gluten-free since 2009 and I usually get “poisoned” at sushi/Japanese places. The waitress and owner here are very knowledgeable about gluten. My husband said the ramen is delicious and the dumplings were amazing. Will definitely be coming back.

Clara Roby

The best food I’ve ever had! Having celiac disease, it’s very hard to find a restaurant that’s trustworthy and always delicious. This place does an amazing job at making accommodations for gluten free eaters! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those with allergies.

Anna A

Food and prices great. Many gluten-free options as well

Excellent food and service. We held our rehearsal dinner here. Our reservation was initially for 6:30, but our rehearsal ceremony and it earlier than anticipated and traffic was not as bad as we thought and so we actually wound up being more than a half hour early. I had called while we were on our way and they said it was no problem at all and for us to come right down. When we got there the room was set up waiting for us. Centerpieces that I had brought in earlier that day were placed on the tables and wine was waiting to be poured. There were 22 of us and one server, and he worked hard all evening to make certain that every single person had what they needed and no detail was overlooked. I can't say enough about the excellent workmanship. Not to mention the food was absolutely incredible. I had two people with dietary restrictions in the party and so the whole menu was gluten free and for the most part flour free. Even with that, everything was amazing! Would highly recommend!! Thank you Zumra and Eldis for making our special night one that we will always treasure.

Lindsay

Loved that they have gluten free and dairy free options. *I will caveat that they did warn that there is cross contamination and I did get a little distended after eating. Pricing is a little high, but the guy working behind the counter was super kind and accommodating. Felt bad for him since he was in the middle of the last hour rush, but he handled it well.

Took our kids to Kid City in middletown for the afternoon and was looking for a restaurant nearby that was kid friendly to eat at with our 2 year old twins. Staff was friendly and attentive. Had new clean high chairs to sit our boys. Our server Josh was wonderful. We ordered the Thai chili mussels for an appetizer and the broth was delicious and the mussels were big and fresh. My wife loved her lobster roll and my clam strip dinner was also very good. Even my 2 year old son liked the clam strips so much he kept grabbing more off my plate. Lots of options on the menu for anyone to find something they would like. Also lots of gluten free dishes. We enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back.

We’ve been going to this Sushi Restaurant for years. We usually sit in or order out several times a month. They never disappoint. Very friendly staff, great/fresh food, clean environment, and reasonable prices. They also accommodate gluten restrictions! And easy parking! We highly recommend them to anyone.

Kimberly Weber

We had to find a restaurant quickly outside of the "event" that was happening on Main street tonight b/c we couldn't get to our planned spot. We had a very tight time frame by the time we got to Luce....we were able to grab a high top table in the bar, and had an amazing dinner - in and out with a bit of time to spare!! I had the chicken medallions with risotto, delicious and thankfully gluten free!!(they have many GF options, just ask) Husband had Canneollni Bolognese, all homemade and all delicious! Can't wait to go back and sit for a while!! Thanks to the bartender and the host for getting us out in time for our show! Highly recommend!

Hector Acevedo

Very good burger with excellent service. They only had two people working and a lot of orders but they got it done and with a smile. I hope management takes notice of these two employees working through dinner time orders by themselves on 11/8. One thing I'll mention is that when I ask for my meal to gluten free for my wife and daughter who both have celiac, they take it serious and do a great job keeping our food safe from cross contamination.

Elizabeth A

A wonderful dining experience, as usual. Plenty of gluten free options, as well.

Rissa Moore

Good food, good service, wait staff was very accommodating to my friend who has gluten allergy and is veagan.

Kyle Pasciutti

Delicious food, and everything is marked with vegetarian and gluten free indicators which was incredibly helpful for our group. Service was impeccable, and the dishes were just mouthwateringly good 😋

Thrive Movement Studio

So good. Dosas are amazing but heads up- not gluten free!

Sohail Chaudhry

Contemporary cafe & eatery with sandwiches, wraps and such. Good for gluten-free options (with breads & wraps), otherwise nothing specials. Good option for a quick bite with indoor and outside seating. Averagely-priced menu.
