Top 17 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Spots to Explore in San Antonio

Alecsandra Bezilla

I came in from out of town on a business trip and naturally, had to check out riverwalk & grab a bite to eat on the water ! Here's the catch- I have severeeeeee celiac disease. Like, cross contamination sensitive. It makes finding safe eateries while traveling a...challenge to say the least. That being said, I found Paesano's via a Google search and saw immediately they had a huge gluten free menu...I called and spoke to the staff before I decided to catch an Uber there..and they made me feel so safe. Understood the allergen protocol. I get to the restaurant and I'm seated immediately- during peak dinner hours. I get a cozy little spot right on the riverwalk, perfect for people watching as I dine solo. My server, Rudy** was such a pleasure - kind , attentive and understood the assignment right away when i explained my allergen needs. He assured me multiple times before food was dropped that he spoke to Chef Raul** and told me their cross contamination precautions. Wow did I feel safe. It means so much to us allergy folks when places just GET IT. And they GET IT . Lovely vibes, personable and friendly service even during peak dinner ! For a solo dining guest ! I am happy to report I have a safe spot to visit next time I'm here in SAT.

This was our first time here since we were visiting from out of town. A great place to take vegans since there are clearly labeled options. Nadia served us and was knowledgeable about all of the ingredients. She was even able to give us recommendations and have the veggie couscous made vegan. All of the food tasted super fresh and was delicious vegetables, none of that fake meat stuff. The menu has clearly labeled gluten-free and vegan options plus tons for the meat eaters. My husband, our child, and I loved the food here. So much so that our kiddo was making plans to come back the next day. Loved the decor, loved the food, loved the people.

Quick service. Food was good. Salad is the bonus. Good service, friendly and knowledge of the menu. They have limited gluten free menu which is only negative.

Always an amazing experience! Jonathon was our fantastic server. I have alot of food allergies- gluten, dairy, egg, sugar. What I love about Ladino the most? I can give them my diet restrictions, and order the table of joy and get a perfectly curated 5 course meal that not only ever bite bursts with an incredible and unique flavor from one dish to the next, I also have full confidence I won’t get sick. I’m so grateful for the amazing restaurant, the high quality food and incredible staff that understands and ensures I don’t miss out. It’s truly an experience to dine here!

I have celiac disease (kind of like a gluten allergy). The worker changed gloves, got new utensils for servings, and went with my bowl done the line to ensure there was no cross contact. That is the safest experience I have had in a Cava! I appreciated it very much.

Incredibly friendly staff, clean establishment and fresh food. Large portions of fresh salad or rice bowls for a good cost. Gluten free options. Absolutely recommend.

Do not go if you plan on eating gluten free.

Delicious food, good service, and well designed menu highlighting items that are Gluten free, or Vegetarian, Vegan, and so on.

Cynthia Soto

Great experience! Just need more gluten free items.

Michele

Delicious, well made, clean, great/friendly service, and eye rolling good! This place is a gem! The salad with chicken was so fresh and the gluten free pizza was amazing. It tasted like real pizza crust with fresh toppings. I will be back to experience more of their robust menu. Thank you!

Aaron was so super sweet and helpful with everything. Very knowledgeable about my concerns with gluten since I have celiac. Even getting me and my friends filled up drinks to go upon our exit.

*UPDATE* I received an email from Customer Relations, and Anthony apologized for this visit and how badly it went. I was given a gift card to come back. I truly appreciate it, and Anthony didn't have to do that. Kenny, a manager at the Bitters location also sent me an email apologizing. That made everything better, and it goes back to the saying, "When you're here, you're family." Usually I love coming to this restaurant for To-Go or dining in. This time, it was an okay experience. I feel like the server was still new, and didn't quite understand the pacing of the meal. Also I asked for my meal to be gluten free, and my pasta was, but not my chicken parm. It was corrected immediately though. He was nice, just needs a few more tables.

I know the holidays are hectic and I appreciate everyone that was working this Christmas Eve. I have celaics and I always love Olive Garden for their gluten free pasta. I got the gluten free rotini with marinara and sausage and it was very good. I appreciate the wait staff and their knowledge and care of my allergy. Thank you!

Im not a frequent eater of Mediterranean food, despite it being some of my favorite food. However I recently moved into the area with my family, and my mother was craving Mediterranean food and we remembered that this restaurant was nearby. So we entered in and were greeted by who I presume was the owner, who was incredibly kind and accommodating to my disabled mother and her gluten allergy. He helped us through the ordering process and made some great recommendations for what to eat. I had the Gyro Platter, and she had the Build Your Own Bowl with Gyro. Believe me when I say this is some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life. It was all incredible, the meat, the bread, the sauces, the rice, the salad even. Plus, the restrooms were clean, the staff was incredibly kind, the portions wer generous, and the atmosphere was wonderful! I highly recommend, and I will be returning in the near future!!!

Rena and the team at The Pita Chick are the greatest! Delicious food, amazing service. Rena also took the time to talk through options for me that were gluten and dairy free (I’ve got bunch of allergies) and was so kind and intentional about it. Thank you guys!!
