Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Amazing staff. A real treat with separate fryer for us coeliac people. I had the hashbrown, pesto, avacado and balsamic glaze. Yuuuum!! Loved how many amazing toys there for child-friendly eating

Allie Treloar

Good food, gluten free was good. Service was friendly and efficient.

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Wendy Henry

Great allergy menu and clear confidence with coeliac-safe GF. Best GF pizza dough I’ve ever had! Cheesecake also super yummy. One very happy coeliac!!

Jeanne Wissing

What a great experience! It was our first time at Kisa and appreciated our friendly server explaining everything to us, the special care taken with my gluten-free requirement, and truly delicious food. The smacked cucumber was my (surprising) favourite on the menu, and everything was made to perfection, fragrant and tasty. We were a large group at a long table, and even so, we could share conversations across the length of the table - a total plus. We will definitely return to sample the rest of the menu. An absolute highlight of the weekend!

We had a wonderful meal at Damascus on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was almost entirely full at 5:30 and we can understand why. I’m a coeliac who can’t have dairy so it’s not always easy to find places where I can eat and have choices. Damascus’ staff were friendly, the kitchen staff were absolutely awesome! We had a selection of small dishes and a large one. The food was beautifully presented, so incredibly tasty and came in a steady flow. We had a wonderful evening, thank you so much!

Lior Seidel

Great GF pizza

Pilates Plus NZ

We had a fantastic brekkie here and highly recommend this wonderful spot. Great menu with several coeliac-friendly options. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive to detail. I had the hot smoked salmon eggs Benedict and loved the GF bread used as the base. I only like super-hard poached eggs and these guys cooked them perfectly. The coffee (Havana) is great and the room has a funky and relaxed vibe, with a great outlook over Lyall Bay beach and the airport. You can watch planes and ferries come and go while you relax! We got a GF lemon and blueberry cheesecake to take away for later - absolutely delicious. We will be back next time we’re in Wellington!

We booked a table for 9, for a graduation dinner. Our table was ready on time. We were promptly seated, our drink orders were taken, and any questions answered. Then we were left to browse the menu. Our orders were taken shortly after, pizzas, pasta, and steaks all round (including catering for gluten free). The food arrived quickly given the busy night. The portion sizes were large The temperature was good The quality and taste was great. Despite being incredibly full, some of us opted for dessert, and we weren't disappointed. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and nothing was a bother. Considering there were some fussy eaters at the table, a great night had by everyone. Would recommend, and we'll be back.

Clive McArthur

The food is great and better still it is safe for the two celiacs in our family.

B Bell

As a really reactive coeliac, I’m always on the lookout for reviews that help me eat safely. I’d love to help out another coeliac! Fratelli was a lovely experience in all aspects! Staff were reassuring polite, and helpful on the phone, and catered for me beautifully. Attentive, polite, and knowledgeable service. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great wine. We ate here for 2 of the 3 nights we were in Wellington. Delicious pasta and pizza, plus sides. I didn’t experience any symptoms and felt secure that no cross contamination would occur. If we visit Wellington again, I’d be keen to go again! It’s rare to feel so safe and I’m frothing for how safe and lovely our evenings were! Thoroughly recommend.

Angela Hoebergen-Hapi

Food was devine, service was awesome, went beyond to cater for one of our party that was gluten free. Highly recommend

Jesse Drabble

Such a great staple of Wellington. Good coffee and some solid gluten free options. The staff are wonderful 🥰

Kelly Gray

Just enjoy being here, good menu. Only suggestion would be to add more gluten free and dairy free options

Matteo Zambanini

The food is delicious! Everything can be gluten free. Also the staff is super friendly. Tim is great!

Brett Walker

The service at T Lounge is great and we enjoy that it is a little different to other restaurants. Our dishes were beautifully flavoured, and my wife enjoyed that the waffle could be Gluten Free. Some other guests high tea also looked very nice!

Jay Oliver

I ordered from here via Uber eats last night. I've recently been diagnosed as celiac, so I can not eat anything with gluten, so I ordered their gluten-free pizza base. When the pizza arrived, it was freezing cold, and half of the entire crust was burnt to a crisp, and the crust was inedible. The pizza was disgusting and I paid an outrageous price ($36.19) for it with no refund. I never had a bad experience with their food before being diagnosed as celiac but this was extremely disappointing and disgusting, I will not be going back.

Otinel Meszaros

I had the big cook-up. It was great. I was hungry and it hit the spot. My wife is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free. She ordered the coconut salad and said it was great too. Nice view as well

For a colleagues farewell we had a group of 12 on a Wednesday evening from 6pm. They accommodated us with two booth type tables and it was very comfortable. One diner is coeliac and when the order had a gluten item, staff didn't make a fuss when it was sent back politely. So that's really nice. Service was friendly and efficient, clearing our table quickly and checking for drink or food orders often. It wasn't too busy, nor too loud and the atmosphere was cosy. Paying at the end was simple and efficient, they operate their cashier system well. All told for a large group dining experience I thought it was successful and staff did a great job. Thanks for a great night team.

ARUN GEORGE

Excellent food and service. Good ambience. An added bonus that there are many gluten free options for coeliacs, and the staff are very aware of coeliac food safety requirements.

Olga Palmer

I recently celebrated my birthday here and the staff at Napoli helped make it a fantastic one! The service was great and the staff were very attentive and efficient, even though the restaurant was full on a Thursday night. The pizzas/pasta were all delicious, including the gluten-free base one which I understand they make themselves fresh every day. The vibe was immaculate, very cosy and authentic. They also went the extra mile by keeping the cake we brought in their coldroom, putting candles and a little happy birthday topper on it, bringing it out and cutting it up/serving it to the table - and charging no cakeage fee for this! If you're looking for your next dinner destination, this is it. Thank you Napoli!

Rebecca Riley

Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available. If it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!

Reda_Katz

Despite how busy the resturant was the service was friendly and fast. The food is excellent and plenty of option for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and/or gluten free individuals. Strongly recommend enjoying a meal here.

Luci McDougall

I could not recommend this place more! I am gluten free and allergic to sea food and all was accomodate too with ease! They were super lovely and understanding. Food was super delicious and the amount you were given was great. Super affordable and lovely staff!

Ryan H

Best gluten free pizza I had in New Zealand during my World Cup! A ton of variety of toppings and types of pizzas and were very considerate of my gluten intolerance. Family got regular pizzas on the menu and agreed it was the best pizza they had during this trip!

Renée Norman

Love the atmosphere of Ombra, started off with a prosecco and the most beautifully balanced heirloom tomato salad, they have a surprising amount of gluten free options (ones that make you feel you're not missing out!) love this for me.

John Litvin

Delicious crepes. Gluten free options. Made to order. Friendly owner. Great place for lunch!

Catherine Chapman

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, lovely views, good quality food and great value for $. Lots of delicious Gluten Free options, their GF bread is made in-house and is delicious. Inside can get quite cosy and warm when it’s busy, sitting outside is lovely if you want to soak in the views on a clear day, there are also blankets provided to keep you warm on the cooler days. Overall great experience, super friendly staff and fab quality food. Recommend the Avo on GF bread, the Laksa, bacon and eggs on toast, and all the GF cakes haha.

Annette Davison

Food here is made with love. Well thought out dishes that are layered with flavor. My only criticism is the gluten free bread from the supermarket. Not nice.

Recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and took a cable car to view the beautiful gardens and on the way back we saw this restaurant as we were so hungry and decided to try it. I am so glad we did!!! I ordered the scotch fillett and asked for it to be gluten free with a cappuccino to be lactose free. The waiters/waitresses are all very lovely and ever so helpful. When the meal came out I was flabbergasted. It looked absolutely amazing. It was decorated with the most colourful and beautiful edible flowers and when I cut into it, it was like butter! The most tender and delicious steak I have ever had and it was on a stack of vegetables with roast potatoes and mushrooms. Compliments to the Chef! It was absolutely delightful! And the price was only $28.00 AMAZING!!! THIS REVIEW IS THE LEAST I COULD DO. Thank you so very much for making my trip more memorable. If I ever come back to New Zealand I will make sure I come and eat at your wonderful restaurant. Thanks again

Amy Jefferies

Amazing service today- such a nice lady Catered to all our dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, allergic to garlic and onion) Definitely recommend going for high tea- delicious array of food and a good amount too. Will be going back!

Anna Holt

Went here after a ceremony, food was fast and extremely good! Extensive vegetarian and gluten free options and amazing service. Had a mix up with the orders and they replaced no questions asked and at no charge- absolutely incredible service. Well worth the money!

Jack D

Lovely pub and great pub quiz. Also they stock gluten free beer 🥳

Sophie

No ability to cater to Coeliacs unfortunately. Cannot comment on food as wasn't able to eat anything. Friends enjoyed it.

Jan Thompson

We were a large group and had a set menu Fantastic service by all the staff, food was delicious and there was lots of it. Great value for money. Chef’s catered really well with a gluten/dairy/soy friend. If only I lived closer ! Thanks so much for a great evening

Beautiful staff, really helpful & friendly. I've only grabbed food to go, but would love to make the time for a sit-down meal. I can recommend the cheesecake - good flavour & never too sweet. The pizza slices are very yummy & are available as single slices from the counter cabinet. They heat them for you. Today, I tried a toasted filled Foccacia & also a gluten-free brownie. Highly recommend 👌 Great hot chocolate as well.

WOW! After asking for a table for 6 and being told it would be at least 15 mins away, Zelda scurried away and made it happen much faster. As we were waiting we were reading the menu concerned the coeliac of the group wouldn’t be able to eat anything. But they other staff told us all but two meals could be accommodated for. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food, from the chicken salad through to the porridge. The vibes were chill, we enjoyed our catch up! Zelda was incredible and made us feel so welcome and helped us with the food allergies. And the coeliac can confirm that their house made sourdough is delicious 🧡 as were all the rest of our meals. I want to have a jar of the marshmallow squares and the candied walnuts 🤤
