Very gluten friendly - order was forgotten a couple times but gluten free frier for fries, pickle chips, fried chicken sandwiches/popcorn chicken and it was all incredible!

Lola Melis

Went here for a date with my boyfriend, we loved it! Gluten free options available.

Such a delightful Friday dinner at Manetta’s! We walked in without a reservation and they kindly accommodated us. We started with a bottle of Chianti and the burrata special. Then we split the gluten free carbonara and gluten free Bianca pizza. Both the gluten free pasta and pizza were incredible. Our friend enjoyed a glutenful salmon pasta. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere - they even had a gorgeous fire going on this cold winter night.

We had the pleasure of having Makina's food truck cater our wedding in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We were in search of a food truck that offered delicious vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free options, and could provide a unique experience for our guests. After trying Makina's food at their brick and mortar location in Queens, we were sold! The food is some of the best Ethiopian cuisine we've had in New York. Working with Eden was a seamless process - they were professional and responsive to all our inquiries. On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time and served the food quickly. Our guests raved about the mushroom & rosemary chicken tibs and the sambusas. One of our cousins even said it was the best meal he had in months! Thank you, Makina, for making our special day even more memorable!

Had the burger with fries, they had gluten-free devoted fryer! Haven't had fries in forever!! Food was great, atmosphere very smooth!!

Gabe Gross

Phenomenal, authentic Italian cafe - a lot of naturally gluten free options is a huge plus.

Alica Stephens

We really enjoyed our dinner at Casa Enrique. The guava margarita was so tasty, and as someone with celiac, there were plenty of gluten free options. I had the Enchiladas with salsa Verde and it did not dissapoint!

Maria Teresa Quirk

Had the gluten free cilantro ramen and the spicy edamame. Yummy!

Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply a pizza enthusiast, Bellucci Pizza has something exceptional to offer. The inclusion of vegan cheese and a variety of creative combinations sets this pizzeria apart. One standout is the "Into the Woods" pizza, which combines flavorful ingredients like herbed de Provence, mushrooms, and Gruyère cheese. This unique blend of flavors creates a harmonious and satisfying dish. Additionally, Bellucci Pizza offers delightful imported Italian fruit teas, adding a refreshing touch to your meal.

This spot was amazing. Came with a group and tried lots of stuff, and the standouts for us were the pork/shrimp shumai, eggplant, string beans with bamboo shoots, and scallion pancakes. The wait staff was very attentive and thoughtful, and were very helpful around my friend being gluten-free.

Mark Liberman

Had the beef pho - super good! Kind wait staff and gf options listed on menu.

If you are looking for gluten free pizza this is the place. Great service and amazing food!

Tim Huber

Insanely good gluten free pizza. Lots of options. Highly recommend.

Madison Back

I can't say enough about how great Manducatis Rustica is. We had a large group dinner here and the staff and chef were so accommodating to all dietary needs (I am gluten free and they had plenty of options!). They have a fabulous pre fixe menu with a lot of variety and we were surprised by how much food came with it, we definitely left stuffed! Loved the wine selections as well. The back patio is beautiful. Definitely a must-visit in Long Island City and worth making the visit out from Manhattan. Thanks Gianna and team!

Jesse Graham Galas

Wow!!! What a cool place! We walked in out of the rain to belly up to the bar for a warming glass of bourbon and we were not disappointed. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, a neat pour could be had for $10-$20 and the star of the day? THE WINGS. Oh my God, seriously, the best wings I’ve had in 10 years. The sauces had a gorgeous amount of depth, flavor and heat and the snow sauce was a perfect complement. Many Gluten Free options! Can’t wait to go back!

Anthony and the servers make this place a gem. It is truly an amazing experience. Best Italian in the city. All of it was gluten free. Thank you Anthony.

Kait Rhodes

Great service, delicious food. The apps were even better than the mains, especially the roasted cauliflower app. No vegetarian mains though, but the veg apps were good and big portions. Plenty of gluten free options.

Great for celiacs as you can have gluten free bibimbap! Food is really good, while there is no stone bowl which means the rice doesn't get the same crunch, the flavour was bang on and it's a good portion as well. Could use a smidge more protein. Veggies were delicious. Great service as well.

Upon arrival, the staff were friendly and the space felt very cozy especially with the stark temperature difference nowadays between indoors and outdoors. The warm lighting as well as the combination of wood and metal fixtures works cohesively. Ordered: -Roti Massaman: roti bread with potato, onion, peanuts in massaman curry sauce garnished with fried onion. Medium spicy. -Nam Tok Nuer (Beef Salad): Beef flank with dried chili, red onions, toasted rice powder, cilantro, scallion, mints and fish sauce lime dressing. Mild spicy. Gluten free. The food was okay. Roti was freshly prepared, soft, and flaky. As for the massaman curry sauce, it was too tangy for my liking but the ingredients served with it were cooked perfectly. Also, I thought it was pretty mild in spice even though it is listed as medium spicy on the menu. I appreciated the thinly sliced beef flank for the salad item but it was well-done so it was chewy and made for quite the jaw workout. It would have benefitted with more toasted rice powder. If I were to order this dish in the future, I would ask for some fresh or extra dried chili on the side to spice things up a bit plus a side of sticky rice. Overall, my dinner experience was not bad and I can see this business doing well in the neighborhood especially with their bar section. The space would be great for hosting small private events or celebrations too.

Where should I start .... 1. Atmosphere The atmosphere at Soi was amazing. I love how they have a lot of different vibes going on at once. There's a chill vibe, a hip hop vibe, and even some house music playing. You never know what kind of vibe you'll get when you walk in. 2. Staff The staff were super nice and welcoming. They were always happy to help us out and answer any questions we had. 3. Food The food was great! Everything was tasty and fresh. My favorite thing about their menu was that everything was gluten-free. I'm not sure if they do this for everyone, but it was really helpful for me since I am gluten intolerant. 4. Overall Experience We went to Carla after work and it was a fun way to end our day. I definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for a place to eat. Great Instagram Check In location to add to your profile lol..

Absolutely loved this place! Best gluten free carbonara I’ve ever had- no reaction!

Perfect retro diner atmosphere, good service and food. Spanish omelette not too spicy. Love that they have gluten-free toast. Will return.

Jessica R.

Gluten free pizza crust was terribly hard to chew.

paolo carcione

Great joint for NY's classic slice. The place is clean and welcoming, the pizza delicious (I personally love the garlic knots here). I look forward to gluten free and vegan options coming soon.

Claudia Angarita

This chicken is amazing enough to make a gluten-free friend cheat and enjoy it. That’s how good it is!!!!

Pál Ildikó

If you like good burgers for a reasonable price (compared to Manhattan) this is is the place to go. Vegetarian and gluten free (bunless) options are also available. Service is a bit slow at Friday evening.

Sharon Elrod

We had a perfect breakfast here! I have celiac disease, so for me the buckwheat Crepe Henri with my filling choices of swiss cheese, roasted veggies and chicken was so good! The coffee was about the best I've had! Atmosphere was also perfect as was the service. Would recommend and return anytime!

John Cardinale

Super cool spot They know their gluten free options

Annie Burton

Lots of Gluten free options Service was amazing, cute cozy little restaurant. Food overall was good, however the seafood was blend, no taste.

Pizza Factory

Stop in for our delicious, fresh made pizza daily! We offer a ton of options. Fresh Mozzarella, Buffalo Chicken, Lasagna Pizza, Sicilian, Grandma, etc. You name it, we have it! This includes GLUTEN FREE & WHOLE WHEAT. Just ask!

Had lunch here- ordered ropa vieja and carne empanada. Empanada was good. Outer part was definitely corn so prob gluten free like they advertise. Ropa vieja was ok. Have had different versions of this dish and Blend's was just shredded beef. Plantano Maduro were excellent. Service was attentive. Got thru lunch quickly, depsite a number of other parties. A few people sharing duties so that helps. Vibe at lunch is subdued, no loud music and can have a conversation. Mostly business crowd.

I can’t eat anything with gluten so I didn’t try their iconic soufflé pancake. But their soft serve and Japanese pudding is the best soft serve in town and OMG the Japanese pudding tastes like the one I had in Tokyo! I’ve been trying to find Japanese pudding in New York and this is the only place I found. Every thing is made in house here, even Soft serve is their own recipe. Spacious, clean, great ambience. It is only 20 minutes from Grand Central with Line 7. Perfect location to get away from the crowds in Manhattan where I can sip on my coffee, read a book and enjoy nice desserts. Highly recommended.

Anna Fiorentino

We love coming here for a low key dinner date in the neighborhood. Everything about it is pleasant. The owners and staff are lovely, the food is authentic and perfectly seasoned. Ingredients are fresh and well paired. I’m gluten free and have never felt like there were compromises made on quality or execution. They don’t carry gluten free bread, but are very willing to make small adjustments to accommodate dishes here and there. I’m definitely a fan.

Andreea Burciu-Ballen

Great ambiance - old world, steam punk kind of vibe. Delicious tea, really yummy gluten-free goodies.

Christos K

Great for a quick bite and they serve gluten free pizza.

Madeline C

Good local sushi spot in LIC. Easy ordering, robust menu, good variety in specials, and they have gluten free soy sauce.

Bailey O'Donnell

Had the absolute best experience this evening at Jaguar. The owner, chef and bartender were all incredibly friendly and accommodating to my dietary restrictions. For those with a celiac allergy, they have gluten free crepes!! Drinks were absolutely incredible, I got the strawberry mojito and now want to order the entire menu. A jewel has been added to Astoria and we will be back! ✨

Gina Paulson

I ordered from them today!! Amazing! So flavorful and the portions were perfect! I can totally see myself ordering several times a week and never getting bored. They have several gluten-free options as well as vegan! Yum, yum, yum and spice!

maria ramirez
