Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Massachusetts for Late-Night Cravings

I went to Al Dente next door to here and asked if I could sit at the bar and the gentleman at the front (owner?) was very pleasant in directing me to “his bar” in Benevetos. So they’re related. The menus are similar except Benevotos has a great open kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven. I was a bit pasta-d out so I was hoping for the Sea Bass Al Dente but it isn’t on this menu. So I went for pizza, and they had a gluten free crust (+$5, a little steep) which was very good. The bar tender, who did a great job, said it would be thin, crunchy and good, and she was right. Overall it was a good pizza with plenty of fresh ingredients. Perhaps undercooked on top, which can happen with a Gf crust, but solid. I’ll try the sea bass next door next time.

Thank you for changing gloves when handling the gluten free cannoli. Much, much appreciated :)

Amazing experience all around. Innovative menu, great service and atmosphere, and delicious food. The fusion between French and Cambodian is done with separate menu sections, but some influence across boundaries. Perfect for a date night or a group. The bar has an annoyingly-large and out of place TV though. Appetizer: Kapik King, a slow-cooked spiced pork belly with a rice croquette and pickles, was perfectly cooked and spiced, and a good portion. The three parts of the dish complemented each other - the melt-in-your-mouth sweet-and-spicy meat, crispy rice, and crunchy salty pickles. 5/5 Appetizer: Leah Chah, mussels in a white whine sauce but with an Asian twist, almost like a light curry. Definitely better than the standard, but two complaints: pretty small portion, and no bread for dipping. 4/5 Entree: Pavé de Saumon, beautifully cooked salmon with mushrooms, over mashed potatoes, and with an arugula side salad. Flavorful, French, and good portion. 5/5 Entree: Curry d’Agneau aux Légumes, braised lamb curry with veggies, Cambodian, bursting with flavor from all the spice, good portion size. 5/5 Desserts: Le Péché au Chocolat, a rich French chocolate truffle cake with raspberry, and Sangkhia l’Pao, a Cambodian squash and coconut cake that was less sweet but nonetheless an awesome dessert with good texture. 4/5 Drinks: non-alcoholic: Elephant Walk Punch (blood orange, passion fruit, lime) 5/5 Kalamansi agave limeade (kalamansi is a Filipino relative of an orange), but it was too orangey, 4/5 Some of these dishes were on the special menu, which is always long, so you may not find these exact dishes when you go. Good vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten free-options. We went for Dine Out Boston, so it was $46 for appetizer, entree, and dessert, and we got $9 nonalcoholic spritzers, but normally it would be $13-17 for an appetizer and and $24-32 for an entree. So not too bad.

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Priscilla Zhang

We ate brunch here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and unlike any Japanese food I've had before. There is amazing attention to detail in the taste. They are also incredibly Gluten-free friendly. Only one item on the brunch menu had wheat and the fryer was wheat free.

Cristine Trayner

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

Max

Lots of interesting food but I wouldn't go here if you are coeliac because they can't promise there's been no cross contamination (due to the chicken alternative Seitan). The strawberry milkshake was the best I've had in a while.

Alex Senchak

High energy and lively place with an extensive menu and good wine list. The Gluten Free selection is outstanding. The food was great with lots of things to share. It can be loud when it's busy.

Lynn Sweet

GF fryer! Say less.

Sophia Thomas

Our main reason for writing a review is Harold. Harold was our waiter today. It was PACKED and he must have been slammed with tables, however he was super attentive, made us feel heard and took priority in ensuring my allergy was accommodated for. His overall persona was just amazing. I would recommend to come here just based off of Harold’s service. However, we went for my dad’s 58th birthday. The food was great. Atmosphere was so great (never felt rushed, and you were able to hear each other and videos). They also had GREAT options for gluten free. All fried foods are gluten free, they have key lime pie, New York cheesecake and other desserts that are gluten free as well.

Michaela Hummer

Tuesdays are full gluten free nights!

Jordan Tessler

Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Natalie Acheson

Very good burgers! Loved that the waiter knew exactly what I was asking about the French fries being gluten free. Fries and tots are safe and fried in a separate frier! Very tasty fries and the gluten free bun was good too!

Lexi Howell

Excellent experience here. Ordered a burger with GF bun and fries. No problems.

Amber Easterling

Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!

Vanessa Weeks

Great breakfast items. Fast service and great Gluten Free options.

Ana Chrzanowski

Great if you’re just celiac but they made all the adjustments with my meal for my dairy allergy also. Justine was fabulous!! Will definitely be coming here again when we next visit Boston. The lobster roll was AMAZING!!

Danielle D

Safe to eat, knowledgeable, owners kids are celiac, most of menu can be made gluten and dairy free

Shawn Hart

Stopped in after the lunch rush, I assume. Was able to get seated right away, and the server came over pretty quickly after that. They have a gluten-free menu as well, which I did check out but ended up ordering from the regular menu. I got a burger with Swiss and bacon and the side of fries (which are more closely to potatoe wedges in my book) I generally like my burger meat medium well but I think it was closer to well, with a char to the outside. But otherwise juicy and flavorful. I was also fairly hungry at that point. Staff are friendly and ready to find answers for questions they don't know.

Ami R

Visiting Brookline and ordered delivery from Otto got the gluten-free pineapple and bacon pizza and added chicken. Super tasty and fresh! Everything came hot and the crust was great. Definitely hit the spot!

Mickey Crump

Extensive gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options! The gluten free “spaceballs” are meant to be gf garlic bread. It’s just a pizza crust with seasonings and parmesan shaker cheese. I tried the gf cauliflower bites and they were alright! They were baked, not fried. The pizza was pretty good but nothing special.

Mike K

Delicious! Gluten free options! Great service!

Grace Lee

Ordered ‘shroom burger (amazing), with spicy crinkle cut fries (way too spicy, even for a Korean), and Shake Shack burger with a gluten free bun (the gf bun didn’t fall apart, which is rare!). Lots of seating at this location.

tiana

Excellent gluten free options

Tara Ducharme

Love it here! I especially love the clam cakes and the dessert that are available!

Mark Dipsey

Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing

Kaitlin Kobrenski

All but one item on their menu can be made gluten free. All fryers are dedicated GF. Great meal!

Taylor Ogg

I’m honestly super disappointed. We order take out every Friday night. This is the one day a week we choose not to cook. For the past couple months it has been one bad experience after the other. My food is either consistently wrong. We are given a time frame and arrive on time only to stand around another hour. Or the quality is just plain terrible for what we pay. Now you may ask, why bother going back? Well I wish I could go somewhere else but as a person with Celiac Disease I am left with very limited safe options. I feel safe at this establishment but the service is all over the place. They always appear to be short staffed. While I sympathize with this as someone who use to work in the industry, the attitude we get from the staff is unreal. I hope the establishment grows from these reoccurring reviews.

Dan MacKnight

I wanted to like this place but the service was really terrible. It took us an hour to receive an order of chicken fingers and they still messed up the order fairly seriously (we ordered gluten free chicken fingers and stated that it was due to an allergy multiple times). When our order finally came out (45 minutes after the couple that were were with received their food), it was definitely not gluten free. It took several minutes to flag down our server to ask if the order was GF, she took it back to the kitchen, and 10 minutes later she came out with a new plate and just said “this one is definitely gluten free.” No acknowledgement or apology for almost getting us sick or the hour that it took to receive our food, and we still paid full price. Which $15+ for 4 chicken fingers and some tater tots is insane. I watched the kitchen runner bring food to the wrong table at least 4 or 5 times. Just blindly asking people “did you order this?” The lack of attention could get someone sick when dealing with food allergies. Half of the arcade games were either out of order or in desperate need of service. I really wanted to like this place but we left feeling ripped off.

Michelle N was Gothard

Lots of safe gluten free options including fish and chips. Very helpful staff

Tina Howard

Great place to grab brunch. We went for mother's day and they were super accommodating for our friend who has celiac disease

Sarah Richards

The gluten free roll is actually amazing. I haven't had a proper breakfast sandwich in 10+ years and I'm so glad that streak was broken today.

brian smith

Food was all excellent, staff was great, gluten free kitchen. We will definitely be back!!

Shiri Barniv

Excellent experience! Friendly and attentive service, fresh and delicious food, and many gluten free options (separate menu, including wonderful dessert, and dedicated GF frier), including kids friendly items.

J N

Our go to for gluten free dinner nights out. The chicken buffalo dip is something i crave weekly now but they only offer it as rolls now which is still good but i miss the dip itself so dont go as often anymore

Laura F

Delicious food, friendly staff and lots of gluten free choices.

Randy Robichaud

My family, a party of 4 had one of the best experiences I've ever had in a local restaurant. My daughter is celiac and gluten can be a huge issue. Andrea was our waitress and she was amazing! Attention to detail with ever step of service. I was assured by the waitress and the manager that gluten free is taken seriously and promised no mistakes. I was comforted by the team effort. There were NO mistakes! Services was outstanding! Food was fresh and hot and there was even manager visability! Great Job 110! I will be back!

This extraordinary piece of Venezuela attracts a beautifully diverse demographic while tucked away in the heart of Somerville, Massachusetts, within the entertaining Aeronaut Brewery. The lovely and talented owner, Carolina, prepares the most authentic Venezuelan cuisine you will find. Succulent and savory, decadent and delicious are only a few words that describe the menu here. She also offers gluten free, vegan, and meat lover options. The chefs are charming and delightful preparing tasty treats while the crowd laughs over an amusing game of trivia. Apex highly recommends stopping in and trying a renowned rice bowl, enticing arepas, and tempting táquenos! This is time and money well spent!

I think we caught them on an off day. While the place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly, I just didn’t meet expectations. We went for bottomless Sunday brunch during what was supposed to be a special “Dia de Los Muertos festivities” week. They did have a beautiful ofrenda at the entrance. Other than that, all we got was a 50 min wait for food to come out. Some small plates we ordered never came, others were missing ingredients/toppings, one we started eating, no one checked if we needed more drinks. Now they did ask about and accommodate a gluten allergy. I greatly appreciate that. Would have been even better if it was marked on the menu. All in all, the people were nice and the food was very good, but on this day, when it wasn’t packed, we waited a long time for nothing all that special.

Nicola Sampson

Amazing restaurant. Affordable. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Very accommodating with gluten allergy.

Annamarie Hammer

Holly Brown

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING pizza. I got the pineapple, bacon, and hot honey gluten free pizza delivered and loved it. I loved the flavors and for gluten free pizza it was amazing. Definitely will be ordering again!

Alex Drake (Adrake1234)

Really friendly staff, great pizza, amazing gluten free pizza and fun place overall

James Dalton

Allergen friendly, dedicated fryer, gf menu

Matthew Fanning

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Andrew VanDerKolk

Food was delicious, the waiters and staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The restaurant has a nice well lit view and relaxing ambience. Come here for the homemade pasta and oven fired pizza. Very good. I got the carbonara with gluten free penne.

Jessica Bonnar

The Abbey is the perfect place to grab drinks with friends at midnight, enjoy a tomato bisque with parents at 5pm, and get married!! lol yes I did get married here a month ago, and prior to that event, my partner and I have been proud patrons for the last 3.5 years. An excellent $12 cocktail menu, delicious cod and steak frites, and a warm, classy but casual atmosphere. Servers are consistently great. They also have an entirely separate gluten-free menu that my gluten-free friends are super happy with. We also reserved their downstairs for our 30-person wedding! Dean, the manager, was super enjoyable to work with to plan the event, and Rachel and Matt were our bartenders and servers day-of and really made everything so easy. Thank you guys! If you’re looking for a wedding space that’s inviting, classy, and casual, and you don’t mind getting married in front of an exit sign (we did not mind lol), I strongly recommend. We genuinely feel that the evening was pretty perfect, and our friends are still raving about the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I could also imagine their downstairs being a great space for any relatively intimate event you’d like to host! If you’re not planning to get married soon, I’d still suggest stopping by for an enjoyable meal and cleverly named cocktail. We will be soon.

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Felicia Rodrigues

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA!! I was very thankful that this establishment had an option for gluten-free pizza especially since it's competitor Main street house of Pizza doesn't have that option. Overall I would rate this pizza a 7/10. The pizza was crispy but soft. I didn't like the sauce and chesse combination on that particular gluten-free dough. But again I'm thankful, it filled my stomach and made me happy. Most importantly, I didn't get sick. Staff is knowledgeable. Oh! And for 14 bucks it was great size portion. Try it out for yourself, you never know. Sincerely, Honesty
