One of the best GF pizzas I’ve ever had! Couldn’t believe it was GF

Rebecca

Had a very tasty wrap with tofu. It's great that everything is gluten-free!

Eleonora Russo

In the heart of the Financial District and a stone's throw from the pier for the Roosevelt Island Ferry, an informal place, pizza by the slice and on the plate made with a lot of love (he told us about it and we saw it in his eyes) by a pizza chef of Italian origins. The owner was very kind and super helpful, attentive and knowledgeable even about celiac disease, ensuring maximum attention for the preparation of the gluten-free pizza. Pizza with classic dough much appreciated by other diners. Recommended!

Gluten free lobster rolls. Sign us up! We had the flight. If I went back I would go traditional. The flight comes with chips and drink. We also ordered the salad. The place is small. The staff were very helpful and nice. I would come again.

Andrea Lombardi

Very good, especially for people Who can't eat gluten. 100% gluten free

Janine Pickwick

Excellent food. However, not safe for Celiacs. Delicious Margaritas!

Eugene Honcharenko

Love this place

Michelle Wendt

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed eating here! They have excellent gluten free pizza, which is somewhat difficult to find. The staff there was super helpful and the atmosphere was cozy. We enjoyed it so much we hoped to go back and get a pizza to take back with us on the plane ride home, but they were unfortunately closed. Definitely recommend and we will go back again if we're ever back in NY!

Excelente gluten free hamburgers

I’m really happy with my experience at Trinity Place! The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. They even have a separate gluten-free menu with a great variety of starters and main dishes. I had the tuna tartare and the salmon — both were absolutely delicious! They come with gluten-free bread, but can also be served with regular bread on the side for those who don’t need to eat gluten-free. For the main course, I had the duck risotto, which was spectacular. They also offer gluten-free drinks like beer. Everything was incredibly tasty, and best of all, my stomach felt great afterwards!

Alexis Fernandez

What a great place! As a celiac, there were plenty of options with an informed staff. Highly recommend!

Sonia Yost

Amazing GF pancakes! There is a GF burrito on the menu as well.

Thais Baumgartel

They have at least 5 gluten free options and vegan options as well. My boyfriend is gluten intolerant and he really enjoyed his muffin. I had a vegan muffin and it was amazing. Everything is great but their coffee is PERFECT. I’ve never tasted such good coffee.

Our first meal during our NYC visit. They have some gluten free items. We were told the GF pancakes were also dairy free when we called before we arrived in NYC. They are NOT dairy free according to our server. Always ask multiple people if you have allergies to be safe.

Riccardo Banfi

I had dinner at this place with my girlfriend who is celiac and she had a gluten-free sandwich. We had a very good time also thanks to the hospitality and super service of the waiter David Torres.

Ok, this was expensive but totally worth it for a special occasion! The wait staff were very gluten aware and accommodating to my need to avoid gluten cross contamination. They bring you GF tamari sauce if you let them know that you are GF and will prepare the dishes with GF tamari once they know you're GF. There are numerous GF options on the menu!! My favorite dish was the scallops from the hot menu, but I really don't think you can go wrong. Everything is in small portions but extremely delicious and satisfying! I also recommend their ginger yuzu mocktail - it has a lovely kick from the ginger!

Daniel Möller

Great location with a fantastic view of the city from the 60th floor. Excellent food and extensive wine list. One can believe that the relatively cheap Portuguese wine was supposedly sold out at lunch on the day of our visit, but it can also be seen as an upselling of an expensive wine. Gluten free options were clearly communicated and recommended. The service was otherwise attentive and friendly, but the fact that despite a tip of over $70 (approx. 10%) you had to leave without thanks or goodbye gave the evening a somewhat unpleasant turn. Unfortunately, the impression remains that at least our waiter is only friendly as long as he expects a large tip from it.

Elizabeth Sara Ross

Highly recommend their Sushi Sashimi Combination (which has a few elements subject to a change on a weekly basis), Sakana San Shu maki with avocado (phenomenal) and the Salmon and Avocado roll (a common but excellent choice). If you’re in the mood for a splurge, the Hokkaido Uni and Kyushu Aji are incredible. As for their cocktails, the Yuzi-Hi (Shochu, St Germain, Yuzu) is refreshing and never disappoints. Their staff is very knowledgeable and their kitchen is able to safely accommodate multiple allergies (gluten, soy, crab and sesame).

Jesisy Herion

Dropped in to get a walk-in table and was ignored at the door for 20 min. Tried to make a reservation here and they never picked up the phone. Finally got the host's attention and when I asked if I could have the set menu made gluten free he said (real quote) "you're making things very difficult" and told me I'd have to eat the menu as is. Dude, what?

Evelyn Uribe

Came on a Sunday night after placing an order online to pick up. Had their gluten free, dairy free buffalo pizza and it was so good! Couldn’t leave NY without pizza!

Jordan Van Maanen

The tres leches latte is fantastic! Not a huge fan of the empanada but that doesn’t mean you won’t be! The gluten free poppyseed bread was great as well. Would definitely recommend 787.

This Alamo is not kid-friendly or Celiac-friendly. I went to see Wicked with my two daughters, 8 and 5 and some friends (4 of which were also kids, so 6 kids total). The manager this evening, Sebastian S., came to my row and aggressively told us to keep our children quiet as they were whispering their orders to us. His voice was much louder than theirs and he blocked the view of the person next to me as he said this. I was taken aback and before I had time to process the unnecessary aggression in his tone he returned to ask if our kids had their own seats. This was well into the movie, maybe the last 30 minutes. The movie theatre checks your tickets before taking your first order. Of course they have seats. He was escalating a situation that didn’t exist. As of late, as someone with celiac disease, I am trying to avoid this place because they don’t have safe practices to avoid cross-contact and often misplace orders or send out the incorrect orders. Now, I will avoid it because this manager has left a very sour impression upon me.

Susan Levy

Great meal. Gluten free menu! Very warm and rich ambiance.

gemma bennett

Fantastic restaurant find while on holiday in New York. The menu has lots of variety and has great gluten free options also. The portion sizes were also great value. Deserts were also delicious. It’s a 2 minute walk from the charging bull statue and very close to the boat terminal to see the Statue of Liberty. Highly recommend.

A. J

Very nice bar and quality-price one of the best in NY. Gluten-free possibilities and lovely waiters, in particular Reina our waitress, who took great care of us and we came back for her. Thanks for the service

Ana Minkel

Stunning in every way. I’ve only been in the city for a couple weeks and I’ve already gone thrice. Food? Amazing. They have so much to offer, including plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. My favorite thing so far is easily their fries (both Parmesan truffle and sweet potato) but their entrees are also spectacular. I’ve gotten their roasted salmon on squash purée twice and it’s been incredible, as well as their quinoa omelet when I came here for brunch. Their staff is friendly and willing to help- the restaurant seems to always have plenty of space so they’re always willing to show you to a good seat. That said, the tavern’s atmosphere is consistent throughout and there are hardly any “bad” seats (though the bar is a little louder than the main dining room) and everything feels period typical thanks to the carefully chosen decor and natural wood.

Jason Mei

I ordered the gluten free pizza and it even came with its own dedicated pizza slicer to avoid cross contamination

Lynsey Buckingham

We cannot express how great of an experience our family had at Aahar. They helped us order gluten free foods and a fun mango drink for our 7 and 9 year old children. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful! They were very attentive and the food arrived rather quickly. They also gave us a complementary dessert. We all left full and spent about $15-20 per person.

Brittany Leventhal

Loved this place for years! Great easy meals and snacks that make you feel good and taste great. They also have delicious gluten free cookies, I’m not gluten free but I prefer their cookies to many places. Ra is always ready to help and very welcoming, thank you!

Emma Campbell

Good food with choice for gluten free

Michael Gorelik

Great place, ate with kids, though no kids dishes, the variety is great and pricing is reasonable Gluten free is great

Gary Kadi

Pure Italy in NYC. The best Gluten free pasta I have ever had— the creamy mushroom truffle suace is a must.

Amanda Agudo Montero

We came here for a sandwich because I had read on the reviews that they offer gluten free options. The food is really good and I didn't get sick after eating it so if you are looking for gluten free food because of an allergy, that's a nice place. We were there on a Sunday morning, so there were almost nobody in the streets and they served us quite quickly. However, we attempted to have lunch in two more occasions in other restaurants of this very same chain in weekdays (near Central Park and near Times Square) and the second time we had to leave, because they weren't taking any orders, since they were receiving plenty or online orders. The third time we could make our order but it took us 40 minutes to get our food (a sandwich and a juice). The place was full of people but again, they receive so many online orders it takes much more time than expected.

Rachel Stephens

Staff was really nice when my husband and I came here for lunch last week. I'm reviewing this as someone with Celiac disease - I can't have gluten. All soy sauce contains wheat, which has gluten. I let our server know and she nodded that the basil chicken that I was ordering was good to go. After I ordered my husband was adamant that it wasn't gluten free so we flagged the waitress down and asked if it had soy sauce in it, because then I can't have it. She was like, "oh yeah, it does." I switched to the $12 chicken green curry. My husband was suspicious that the veggie rolls that I got weren't gluten free because of the wrapper but they looked like rice noodles to me. They tasted good but were a little pricey at $10. My husband got the $10 karee puff and the $12 5 spice pork belly soup. It's so important for restaurants to label menus with allergens as science becomes better and more people get tested and are aware of autoimmune issues that prevent them from eating certain foods. It's an accessibility issue that is easily remedied by going through ingredients in the kitchen and marking it down on a menu. This also prevents order changes and prevents waitstaff from needing to check ingredients on the spot. Food tasted good and service was attentive, but be extra careful and stick to curries if you have Celiac.

Tobias Mayer

Coffee is not what it used to be. Prices on food options have almost doubled. For the price you would hope it was organic. Still its great option to grab and go a wrap, soup or Sandwich. I wish they had gluten fee. No options last time I checked. Place is clean and the service is fast.

Jess Pullen-Schmidt

Hi I had a great time at Hey Thai the other night, food and drinks were really good. Gluten free options and affordable. I left my umbrella(purple/orange/green plaid pattern) and haven’t been able to reach you guys but please let me know if it’s still there and if I can pick it up lol!

Amanda Holt

I have celiac disease so cannot eat gluten. There are delicious GF options on the menu. My whole family loved this cute little local spot so much that we ate there 2 days in a row. The owner is nice and stops by each table to check in. Highly recommend!

Peter Cross

Took the family there just after a visit downtown. I also have a gluten sensitivity. Great food, reasonable prices and great service.

Kim Daly

Yum! Great find by battery park - Vegetarian and gluten free friendly! Real food, fresh and fast. We grabbed lunch before the Liberty ferry. A+

George Pelton

Ryan Sobel

Place had great gluten free bread and was an place to work all morning with outlets nearby. My Kaylin was also amazing!

Paul Watson

Elisa Luci

Gluten free tacos available! Very good ☺

Constantin Lewin

Here you can find delicious healthy juices and smoothies. The facility invites you to linger and feel comfortable. A small toasted sandwich with or without gluten with avocado, tuna, Serrano ham or your choice gives the little one the right amount and energy in between. Download the app and you can receive tasty little goodies after a few visits. Online pick up is available and the boys & girls are extremely quick in everything they do. Was here for the first time and first ordered at the checkout then online and both were ready after 6 minutes even though new orders were constantly coming and people were picking up

Zak Barry

Epic tacos with lots of gluten free options

Kristina Setka

I needed a quick and healthy dinner, Blue Park Kitchen fit the bill. I made my own salad/bowl, many options for gluten free items. Enjoyed the chicken breast, roasted broccoli, sweet potatoes and more. Good service, friendly and fast.

Phil Crown

went here this morning for an acai bowl. i was happy to find they have gluten free granola (if you ask for it). bowl was very fresh, delicious and the açaí was perfect. would highly recommend this spot if you’re gluten free or celiac.

Rebecca Beil

Delicious and easily accommodated gluten free

Olimpia Onelli

I'm coeliac and always quite nervous to order sushi/sashimi in case there is any hidden gluten but I had a great experience at Nara Sushi: they had gluten free soy sauce and the chef was knowledgeable about which options were ok for me. Nice ambience and the fish was great quality - definitely would recommend :)
