It’s very difficult to find restaurants with gluten-free items. It’s much appreciative that they have gluten-free waffles and pancakes on the food was good.

Said food was gluten free as my wife has Celiac disease but when we left she got sick and we almost had to take her to the hospital. The food was ok but not amazing...I will not be returning. Service was great though.

I have never reviewed an establishment while actually consuming their products but its THAT DELISH! The Be Protected cold pressed juice made fresh every day was absolutely thrist quenching. Smashed avocado toast on gluten free bread is by far the BEST guacamole I have tasted since living in Sonoma County! The vegan ricotta with thinly sliced asian pear and honey drizzle on gluten free bread was balanced in flavor and presentation. Let's all support "be well" because it will definitely make you feel well after consuming their products! Oh, they only take credit cards! 12/09/22: Just devoured the housemade hummus, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, microgreen sprouts on gluten free bread. So well balanced in flavor and the presentation was top notch! Wow! So very good

So the trick to enjoying Paisano's in winter is to go at a very early time for late lunch or early dinner, to avoid the noise level when it's full. On the other hand, when our table of 5 is the only one in a room, the absence of atmosphere in any of the newer rooms is glaring. I chose a pear and feta ravioli which was lighter than most dishes ordered, with a complex sauce just this side of too sweet. Only one type of gluten-free pasta was available, disappointing. If Paisano's once had charm, it traded it for larger capacity and noise at a level that prevents conversation. Think I'll return only to have lunch on the patio in summer.

Really delicious sauce on the pies. Good gluten free crust as well, good flavor and not too thin. Only thing I’d like is maybe more toppings on the pizza .. but beyond that very good and our go to.

Quaint little spot. Great staff very friendly. The breakfast sandwich is amazing it’s my go to. They offer gluten free pancakes. Coffee was very good. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. It is street parking so keep an eye out for an open spot.

Gluten free coconut/chocolate macaroons are to die for. The chocolate chip cookies are so addicting and the pour over coffee is just great. Do yourself a favor and make this spot your go to.

Mambo is EXCELLENT!! It's definitely worth a visit to Rutherford if you're in the area. The atmosphere is lively and music that will transport you straight to the Caribbean. One of the standout dishes at Mambo is their empanadas. The beef, chicken, or phily cheese-steak are definitely a must-try! My FAVORITE is their avocado salad. It's a refreshing and healthy option that features ripe avocado slices, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a zesty dressing. It's the perfect balance of flavors and textures, and it's a great way to start your meal. There are also plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options available, so everyone can find something to enjoy. The service at Mambo is always friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, if you're looking for a fun and delicious dining experience in Rutherford, you can't go wrong with Mambo!
