Top 5 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Berkeley Heights

We really loved this place. We accidentally found it, since due to certain health issues, I have to eat no animal protein and no dairy. They have a great selection of vegetable and vegan options. My wife decided order vegetable dumplings and since I can't have gluten either, this was a treat. They are all veggie made triangles and so delicious. Something absolutely different from any dumplings we have tried before. We also got complimentary veggie spring rolls, as part of their service. We got our dishes. I got vegetarian duck dish. Absolutely tasty and I loved it. My wife got pad Thai noodles and our son got massaman curry chicken. All was incredible and absolutely tasty. Their service is incredible, very attentive and we just loved it. We will sure be back sometime in the future. Thank you staff and kitchen for making this a great experience for all of us.

Came for dinner on a Friday night and found fresh, authentic Italian food with made with creativity and care. The artichoke flower appetizer and sea bass entree are absolute standouts. The complimentary bread comes out warm with an amazing tomato based dipping sauce. I'm pretty much gluten free and I couldn't stop eating it, it's dangerous. Chef Adolfo's presence is not only apparent in the kitchen but in the dining room as well. Our server Julia kept the whole evening flowing and Antonio's craft cocktail skills stand up to any professional out there. The Beetlejuice beet infused tequila cocktail served up is delicious and perfectly balanced. I eat out a lot all over NJ and NYC and I've been in the industry for the last 10 years as a sommelier. You're getting NYC quality service and cuisine here. 10 out of 10 for Lupa Ristorante. The whole experience is warm and impressive. I'm serious about those artichokes.

This is a wonderful place to meet friends for dinner. The restaurant is always clean and the staff very welcoming and attentive. I’ve been here a handful of times over the course of the last year and I continue to return. There are plenty of options for drinks, including gluten free beer if that is a need. The last few times I have gotten the boom boom shrimp or mango calamari as a shareable appetizer. And for dinner I have done the poke bowl which is super fresh and a wonderful cacophony of tastes. The prices are quite reasonable and the seating comfortable and conducive for conversation. Highly recommend it!!

This was my families first luncheon to Dimaio's. My daughter and I were blown away with the restaurant atmosphere, so calm and inviting. Then, the service made each and every person feel as if they were the most important person there. Our server was equally hardworking, efficient, and polite. Our meal was salad, warm bread, and clams with penne for me. My daughter, who is gluten-free, was told to just ask, and they could accommodate;she had the chicken, with vegetables and pasta. We were both hugely satisfied. Our only regret was we had a doctor's appointment and couldn't stay for dessert. So, our next visit to town will be doctor's office then Dimaio's to enjoy a relaxing lunch. Thank you for the delicious meal 😋
