Top 9 Gluten-Free Spots Across Theater District, New York

Alex White

Just about everything on this menu is gf, or can be made gf. Can’t recommend enough!

Mary Alexander

Friendly service, menu was family friendly- gluten free menu was available- waitstaff asked about allergens. Lots of seating, wasn’t busy when we went so service was quick.

$10-20 /pp To say this place is one of the best health focused restaurants is an understatement. Not only were the ingredients all natural and delicious but they were consistent. I also had the best gluten free chocolate cookie from there! Would recommend!

Madison Pivonka

Good gluten free options! Good quality for the price and atmosphere

Ada Dunn

Yes they have gf pasta and sauces are GF.

Maribeth Moore

Make reservations and the food is served family style. They give you a lot!

Went to try gluten free and vegan options. I got the vegan Oreo cake and my mom got the gluten free caramel coffee cake - they were delicious! Like beyond good, I would never know that cake was vegan. I even saved half the Oreo cake in the hotel fridge, had it the next day and it was even better than I remembered. We are going to try to go back before we leave NYC and try more of the vegan / gf options

This has become our absolute go-to spot whenever we’re heading to Broadway for a show. Whether we’re seeing a matinee or catching an evening performance, this restaurant is perfectly located—just a short, easy walk to and from most of the major theaters. The convenience alone would make it worth a visit, but it’s the consistently great food and service that keep us coming back. The menu is broad enough to please a variety of tastes, and we’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or something on the lighter side, there’s always a solid selection. They offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, and there are even a few vegetable-forward and salad choices for those seeking vegan fare. It’s refreshing to find a place in the Theater District that doesn’t treat dietary restrictions like an afterthought. Service is always prompt, professional, and genuinely friendly—even when they’re busy. It’s clear the staff are used to handling pre-show crowds, and they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed. There’s plenty of seating, and they’re able to accommodate groups of various sizes without much trouble. That said, if you’re with a larger party, I’d highly recommend making a reservation in advance. While the wait is typically reasonable, especially considering the area, bigger groups may wait a bit longer during peak hours. As for the atmosphere, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bustling, popular spot in Midtown Manhattan: energetic, lively, and often filled with a mix of tourists and locals discussing the shows they’ve just seen or are about to see. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, this probably isn’t the place—but if you’re in the mood to soak up the electric pre-show energy of the Broadway scene, it’s ideal. All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between location, quality, and value. It’s a reliable favorite that helps round out the Broadway experience in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Theater District.

Great barbecue. They were very kind and careful in accommodating gluten intolerance.

Isis A

Incredibly accomodating for those who need gluten free alternatives. They made sure to set my gf order separately, heating the tortillas aside and having the staff handle the food properly to avoid issues. Much appreciated! The chicken taco was pretty tasty and the tacos al pastor is a must. Very tasty add ins, such as a delicious fire roasted chile spicy condiment, as well. Be prepared for a non-sitting experience.

Debbie Lentz

Amazing vegan, including glutenfree options for somebody who has been including gluten free for almost 20 years and new to dairy free and vegan. This was a great place to start off with. They explained everything they're very caring staff relaxing atmosphere that make you feel like family, I would highly recommend this to anybody.

Maribeth Moore

They are great with the gluten free pizza. They put it in its own pan and use a dedicated cutter. There is always a chance of cross contamination as it is not a dedicated facility, but their staff is and took good care of me.

The staff was very cognizant of my gluten allergy and our server Sebastian was an absolute delight!

Ellie MacDonald

Brilliant, easy to accommodate!

Jonathan Hansen

The food was great. The Arroz con Pollo and Arroz with vegetables were wonderful. The menu was easy to navigate for gluten-free/vegan diners. There was a little chaos and a slightly long wait during the pre-theater rush, but that is to be expected. We will definitely be back.

Linda Stein

Excellent Gluten Free Options. Pastas & Service

Harold Molina Venegas

The attention is incredible. Very attentive. And the best part is that the service is super fast. I had the chance to go twice, and they serve the food very quickly. Another great thing is that they have gluten-free options.

After a Broadway show, I had the pleasure of dining at La Masseria, and it was an absolute 5-star experience. We sat in the loft area toward the back, where the service was nothing short of phenomenal—attentive, warm, and truly top-tier. We started with the stuffed eggplant with smoked mozzarella, which was simply to die for. For my entrée, I had the gluten-free penne pasta (without bacon), and my friend enjoyed the large rigatoni pasta with short rib ragout—both dishes were cooked to perfection. Even though I was stuffed, we couldn’t resist trying the warm apple tarts with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream—delicious, though I had to take the rest of my pasta to go. Oh, and let’s talk about the breads—fabulous! This place is a true gem, and I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joanna McLoughlin

delicious!! huge portions and cater well to gluten free diets

Marco H

Service was exceptional. Brought my daughter here after searching for gluten free pasta for her. The lava cake was also Gf and she loved it

Jeremy

Phenomenal service above and beyond what I expected for a restaurant of this class. The Berries and Bubbles are a must try. I love that they offered popcorn as a gluten-free alternative to a bread basket. I had sushi as an appetizer, which was everything I was hoping for. Their entrees were expertly cooked as well, I can't wait to try more of their menu. Their "outdoor" dining area is fully enclosed, protected from the wind, equipped with space heaters, and is well decorated.

Went with three of my friends and every single one of us disliked this place. Two of my friends got burgers and said it was not worth the price and was almost inedible. My other friend got a ceaser salad and had trouble eating it because the chicken was incredibly spicy (not listed as spicy or had any spicy ingredients listed on the menu). I am gluten free so I ordered off the gluten free menu and got queso and veggies as an appetizer. I received flour tortillas, that they later apologized and removed and offered to remake my meal (they were polite but they just took the tortillas off my plate and gave it back). They also didn't give me a replacement for the tortillas I paid for. I'm surprised it didn't come with corn chips, as cucumbers with queso is kind of sad. Also ended up being over $30 for just a queso appetizer. Not worth it. I usually don't leave bad ratings but this was just extremely disappointing.

Nicki Murgatroy

GF option is personal pie only @$18.50+

Mariano Pesce

Jaime is a genius and speaks Spanish. He's very friendly. The food is excellent, and they even have gluten-free pizzas.

Glenn Garcia

Norbert Kenderesi

The food is great, but a bit expensive. Unfortunatly there are no gluten free option

Danielle Mahoney

Mandy McCarthy-Delamere

We had dinner here to celebrate my mum's birthday before going to a Broadway show. The service was great and the food was delicious! We had a pre-theatre menu, which was good value, and everything tasted so good. One person in our group has a gluten allergy; they had a GF menu which was nice. I would definitely recommend this place!

Hannah Wood

Got a gluten free sandwich here. Staff were excellent

Carmela Werner

We had a great time here, large family dinner, had reservation and were taken in right on time, everyone was happy with the food, allergies were very well addressed, and our server was wonderful! My daughter and I did the lobster and burger combo on gluten free bun, was delicious! Recommend!

My partner and I were very pleasantly surprised by this place. We sat at the bar before seeing Six (which was excellent). The bartenders were very friendly. I ordered a mocktail, which the bartender graciously made and which was just juices - it was ok. But my partner had 2 espresso martinis and said they were very tasty. They smelled wonderful. The real pleasure of this experience was the food. We ordered appetizers (Small Plates and Pub Grub menus). First, the Irish Curry Fries (Small Plates menu). The yellow curry is exactly what I remember from a trip to Dublin and satisfied a craving I have had for nearly a decade! My Indian partner was also pleasantly surprised with how much he liked the curry lol. My only desire was that the fries would be thinner - they are thick cut, which can be useful to spoon up the curry, but I prefer thin and crispy for this dish. Second, the Fiddler Nachos with steak (Pub Grub menu). I almost didn't say anything to my partner because it seemed so crazy and basic, but he was the first to say so and I was happy to agree: Are these the best nachos I've ever had?! Possibly. The steak was soft and cooked just fine for the dish, chopped into bite size and not strips. There seemed to be a creamy cheese dip that had a nice flavor, and was not just cheese sauce. There was also real cheese, melted well. The guac and other additions to the nachos were tasty and fresh. But best of all, ALL of the chips stayed crispy and 0 were soggy. Perhaps the only thing I'd change is, if the chips are made in house, give a generous finish of salt when they come out of the fryer, and a good squeeze of fresh lime all over the dish right before serving. It would make all the flavors stand out a little more. Finally, we also got the Potato Crusted Chicken Tenders (Small Plates menu). As someone who only eats gluten free, this was a delight. Crispy, tasty, juicy, big portion, and the honey mustard was fine too - but nothing too special. All in all, a great experience and if we are around there before another show, we may stop back in.

Gwen Junge

Cheesecake was outstanding. They even have a chocolate gluten free (which was delicious) and a sugar free (didn't try) variety. The bar stools are quite high for those who may be height challenged like my mama. Maybe opt for a table.

Erin Brady

This place was so stinking good . It feels a little "underground" (which it actually is) because you get there with a little gated stairway to a basement spot that looks like you need a password to get in, but you don't. There are like 8 seats total around a chef table, with a couple seats against wall for waiting for your seating. Very small, but very cool. The Omakase was absolutely delicious, I wanted more of everything. Chefs did a great job with my gluten free requirements, I watched it all as they made it and my piece was separated when needed, with one or two adjustments when the dish had gluten (like I got a different piece when I couldn't do the salmon roe that was marinated in soy sauce). Truly fantastic food, would go back in a heartbeat.

Katie Valley

Excellent spot near Times Square with excellent service, atmosphere, and food! When we arrived, the hostess was assisting a family who had made a reservation at the wrong location, and she was taking it upon herself to make arrangements for them at the other location, which I thought was so nice! Our server, Hye, was amazing— we loved her! She was so sweet and made great recommendations. One of our friends dining with us has celiac disease, and they were very diligent about being separate plates, sauces, utensils, etc. I highly recommend!

Sarina Bösch

Has individual gluten-free options on the menu, very tasty and served quickly. However, the music in the restaurant was rather loud and it was difficult to communicate.

Gina G

It’s a restaurant inside a hotel which I didn’t realize beforehand. The food was amazing, they have gluten free pasta. But they also had a lot of screaming children, not great service and expensive prices.

Theresa LaMontagne

Delicious and fresh food—all with vegan options and gluten-free! Friendly staff, speedy service. Clean environment and relaxing vibe! :) definitely coming back!!

Xavier Gauderlot

Went for breakfast only...quite expensive, reasonable choice at the buffet, gluten free available , terrible service

Judith Purcell

Fun, casual, beachy atmosphere. Our room had many amenities (safe, fridge, coffee maker, shower wand); especially enjoyed Ch2's relaxing beach & waves video for ambiance/white noise. Perfect location; only 1 block from PABT. Within walking distance or a short ride to everything Uptown (Theater District, Library/Bryant Park, Times Square, Central Park So., MoMA, Grand Central Stn, Circle Bus Tour, even to Hell's Kitchen). [Gluten Free options @ BTS shop just 1/2 block away.] Rooftop's 31/32 floor views for sunsets tops it.
