We have visited Rocco's every year, typically multiple times, that we have visited AZ and thought the pizza was very good. This year was disappointing. My wife's gluten free had a less than satisfactory taste, my regular crust pepperoni/bacon was ok my not up to prior years' experiences. I doubt we will return in the future.

Amazing food. Extremely kind workers. They have a point system so you can get free things after earning certain points milestones!!!

1000/10! If I lived in Tucson, Renee’s would be seeing me ALOT. Lots of Gluten Free options and super yummy! If you’re in Tucson and need a romantic dinner spot this is the one, the vibe was literally perfect!

Wow. I was so excited to try Vero Amore. I was astounded by how much our server hates gluten free and was completely unwilling to even discuss options. I asked about sauces for the pasta and she said, “I don’t know what you are allergic to, the description on the menu tells you what is in it” I wound up with gf penne with crushed tomato sauce and baked chicken. I was told I couldn’t have any cheese as it all had gluten. She was aggressively unwilling to help to the point I had to ask for her to get someone else to help me. I didn’t choose to have celiac disease and I know it can be hard for restaurants. I try to ask reasonable questions to stay safe and have never encountered this level of unwillingness to even try to accommodate. I thought going to a local restaurant with gluten free options on the menu would be fun and it turned out to be embarrassing and uncomfortable for our entire party in a way that I have never experienced. I gave one stars because I didn’t get sick. It was flavorless food and the worst service I have ever experienced. Don’t go here. Actually, the bar tender was really nice and the drinks were great. The GM was also really nice when we talked with him before our meal.

I came for dinner on Saturday and was sorely disappointed. I ordered a vegan gluten-free pizza with no cheese. A pizza arrived with cheese. Not the end of the world. However, the person who delivered the pizza promptly hurried away without even asking if it was okay, so I waited almost 10 minutes for the server to return. She seemed very busy with outside tables as we barely saw her during the visit. She took the pizza back to be remade and it took almost 15 minutes to be finished. No one checked in or apologized for the order being mixed up. Once the new pizza was dropped off, I was disappointed. Each slice has maybe 2-3 (tiny) vegetables total and it didn’t even have tomato sauce to completely cover the pie. I asked the server for salt because I thought that the pizza might be saved with it. She never brought it around, and spent almost 15 minutes speaking to the table next to us while ignoring our needs. We aren’t difficult customers and like to occasionally treat ourselves. But paying full-price for a pizza that came barely covered after it was messed up is not good. I am not one to complain as I worked for years in the industry but this was by far the worst $50 I’ve spent in a long time. Even worse, is I am pretty sure the remake had gluten in the crust as I got ill that night and never do otherwise.

Nice selection of toppings you can load on top your pie, wife likes gluten free option.

Penny Johnson

Gluten free ravioli! And it was yummy. For lunchtime it was pretty dark inside. Our server is a sweet girl. She did a great job with our party. Affordable.

Chef Christina (Familytravels)

Very great experience. The staff was amazing Phoebe you made my experience that much more for myself and my family. Thank u for your kindness and making us feel as if we were home. The cook-GM you rocked are Pizza. The Godfather Gluten free was to die for and just a regular cheese Gluten free just as good, oh yeah extra marinara sauce topped it off. Thank u again

Robin Stone

We love going to Sauce. They have gluten free pasta. If you like a little kick, try the spicy sausage pasta. If you prefer no heat, the cheesy chicken broccoli pasta is the bomb.

Lisa Chick

I was traveling and really wanted pizza, however being gluten free with a tomato allergy, it isn't always easy. Bear Canyon was within walking distance of where I was staying and I could not have made a better choice! Matt S. was incredibly friendly, understanding and helpful. He helped me order the perfect pizza and oh my goodness, it was delicious! The best gluten free pizza I have had. I wish I didn't live so far away, I would be there all the time.

Chris Curtis

Hosted our company's Holiday party in the inside portion of the beer garden. Service, food, and drinks were incredible! Great gluten free and vegan options. Amazing and reasonably priced, beer, wine, and cocktails.

Ashlie Diaz

My gluten free pizza today was less than adequate, if you look at the bottom of the picture there was not even any cheese or mushrooms. The sausage was flavorful and that is all I can say good about my experience. For the price I paid which is more than normal since it is gluten free. I will not be returning.

The a waitress was amazing but that’s about it after we placed our order we almost left .. my husband had bariatric surgery they wouldn’t let him order off the kids menu, I am gluten free and had a hard time finding options so I ended up with just a side of chicken .. my husband got chicken fingers that didn’t come until we were done eating they did comp for that so I will be thankful and they gave my son an ice cream sorry just overall won’t go back proof Is right across the way and way better

Tom Mourreale

The gluten free pizza is not very good ! The burgers are good

Steve Jain

Excellent Mexican cuisine...not just the regular dishes, tortilla stuffed chicken and shrimp poblano elegante enchiladas, plus more Guacamole made table side. One of the best micheladas I've had. Almost everything can be gluten free (except burritos) with corn tortillas. Service is friendly. Outdoor seating when it's seasonable.

Meli Sandell

Very knowledgeable! They take it seriously when you say gluten free. Many options to choose from

Deevee Sanchez

If you haven't had the opportunity to eat at Cafe Desta you are missing out. This restaurant has the best Ethiopian/Eritrean style food around. The food is delicious and the service exceptional. Also if the raspberry almond tart is available TRY IT. It's a gluten free dream. We had one slice and then bought the entire pie. Highly recommend this hidden gem 💎

K. Bang

Love the food there. Lots of gluten-free options are available. Delicious flavor and generous portions!

Meli Sandell

Have eaten there plenty of times with no issues. They have a separate fryer for fries and tots. They take GF seriously.

Jacque Revis

Never had this kind of flavor.. wine soaked onions and wonderful Angus burger. I got a gluten free bun and it was so amazing. Scratch based kitchen made everything amazing. Gotta try!

Ella Weiss

I LOVE this place...they have the best burgers and fries!! The wheat free buns are fantastic...Im celiac and can't have any wheat/oats...I've never had cross contamination problems at Graze. I also can't eat any dairy and about 30 other foods...they are good about making sure my burger has no cheese and no Graze sauce.

Laura Boyle

Fresh, homemade curries with lots of veggies. Great options for gluten free and vegan. Wonderful service!!!

JP Pena

Food for every dietary restriction. Gluten Free Vegan Vegetarian Carnivore lovers

Austin Adragna

We went with 3 adults and 2 kids. 1 adult ordered the Italian beef dip, gluten free bread and went over allergies with the waitress. This adult didn't eat the food. For one the salad came with cheese and vinegar dressing, two of the allergies noted. They also didn't eat the sandwich they mentioned the meat and dip both tasted off. 1 adult got the chicken mozzarella panini and also mentioned the chips were plan and the aoli was weird.

Niles Schwartz

I've been coming to this location for years and always had a good experience until today. Seems like it's new management. I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun. Service was slow and the place wasn't busy. When I finally got my meal and took one bite of the burger I knew instantly it was not a gluten free bun. When I asked if it was a gluten free bun, she said it was. I didn't accept her answer and another waiter looked at it and said it was NOT gluten free. The manager was very apologetic and said they would do another burger and get it right. They brought out a new burger but I had to ask them to bring frys since they took mine away. The manager said they would comp the burger but when I got the bill it was not taken off the bill. The waitress was not happy that I mentioned it. They finally took care of it. The whole experience was enough to keep me from going back. I thought they were dishonest and incompetent. Being dismissive about food allergies is bad business. To many other good restaurants that are more professional.

meagan sibley

Amazing service and offered so much helpful information about their gluten free options

T Kelii Costa

Food was VERY good. I would drive from Phoenix just to eat. I had the 2 meat mix and my family had the house noodles and the gluten noodles. Steadily busy. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

lisa reff-stowe

My family and I went to have a nice meal at dinner time on Sunday. First of all, we waited a very long time to get our order and order to the chef. I have to order a gluten-free meal. They were out of gluten-free noodles. Which was OK. I substituted it for spaghetti squash. My husband, he had a salad that was supposed to have bacon in it. There was no bacon in it. And a glass of wine is normally $18 but Sundays are happy hour ,so the glass of wine was $14. I knew all this . anyway I think it’s pretty pricey , I was disappointed . Unfortunately, we are not going to Zona 78 Italian restaurant!

Jesse Petery

Such a sweet restaurant for vegans with plenty of options for gluten free too! Vibes are good and friendly and the food has always been on point. Highly recommend the gluten free cauliflower wings (we love the BBQ) and the vegan loaf as well! Sooo yummy! We will make this a regular stop when we’re in Tucson.

Melissa Tribolet

Food and ambiance are terrific! Ordered the Picadillo which is a seasoned ground beef and white rice with black beans and maduros. Maduros and plantain bananas. DELICIOUS! They have Mexican Coke to make a delightful rum and coke. Nora helped us and she was charismatic and helpful. She knew about the dishes and helped us figure out what we could order because we have some allergies. This place has many options as far as gluten free. They make a mean espresso and have many options for coffee as well. Overall we love it. We are once again dining tomorrow because every other Friday they have live music! Photos to follow!! PS They cater and have a take-out window for easy pick up.

Charlotte Thornley

Always delicious and I loved watching the employee take care of the teenage person in front of me who had Celiac disease. They did a great job changing gloves and looking up info on the sauces. (This issue is close to my heart since it affects my family too.)

Elizabeth Smalling

Joseph is a phenomenal server! He was super friendly and funny with his help. He was highly knowledgeable about what is and isn't gluten-free and even ensured that everything was as it should be!

Cobie Jones

Great food & vibe! Lots of gluten free options and super yummy!!

A Morning Feast with a Twist at Bisbee Breakfast Club, Tucson The Bisbee Breakfast Club on Ina is where I, a connoisseur of chicken fried steak and eggs, find my breakfast bliss. It's a spot where good mornings are served on a plate, with a side of warm Arizona charm. As predictable as it may be, I went for my usual – chicken fried steak and eggs, eggs over easy, home fries with sourdough. And let me tell you, it was like a morning melody to the tastebuds. Each bite reaffirmed why this place is a breakfast staple in my Tucson visits. Dining with friends always adds flavor to the meal, and everything was top-notch, except for one minor hiccup. One of my friends, treading the gluten-free path, ventured to try their gluten-free pancakes. Unfortunately, these pancakes marched to a different beat – there was an unusual aftertaste that didn't quite hit the right note with any of us. However, one misstep didn't overshadow the overall deliciousness. Our server was like a breakfast superhero – 'Johnny on the spot' with every request, making sure our cups and spirits were always full. Tagline: "For a Tucson morning that's mostly marvelous (minus the gluten-free pancakes), Bisbee Breakfast Club is your sunrise sanctuary!"

Great place for those looking for healthy, tasty food. They have options for those who are gluten free, vegan or vegetarian. Staff seem happy and are friendly.

Robert Stevenson

Love the gluten-free options.

Cara Clatanoff

We love Ciao Down! Gluten free pizza and sweet treats are great. Pizza ingredients taste fresh. We like to build our own but the Snake Bite and Big Dill are tasty too.

Tamea Norwood

This In-n-Out is fast at getting you your food. They take care of your order I am gluten free and they are careful with my food.

Verrinia Kennedy

This restaurant isn't for me but maybe it's for you..? For me this experience was just okay. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere in this small restaurant was open and inviting, in part because the dining room opens entirely to the outside. The food is based on healthy options (grass fed beef, no antibiotics or hormones, etc.) which is cool but I was expecting something that tasted different from other burgers and it really didn't (besides being too seasoned). I didn't try them but the natural sodas looked cool so maybe worth a try if you're really health conscious and they offered a gluten free bun option for an upcharge. They had some tasty looking shakes on the menu and offered original sauces like curry ketchup and Sriracha mayo in addition to your typical options. I will say the sweet potato tots were pretty tasty and everything was made fresh!

Erik Jensen

So yummy! Gluten free bread was so good!

Stephanie Doolin

I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s my favorite restaurant in Tucson! Not just the food but also the atmosphere and service. My father and I like to go and I always get the butter chicken and garlic naan. He always gets the shrimp tandoori. The vegetable pakora is great too. My father is gluten and dairy free and he has no issues eating there. The staff is knowledgeable about what items are gluten and dairy free and I have never had a bad experience. I also love that they will customize what level of heat you want in your dish.

Erin Hamilton

Great tamales, great (welcoming, nice, helpful) service. Good vegetarian options, and clear markings for veg vs. vegan and gluten free. Sides are delicious too. Don’t forget some cinnamon crisps to go!

Anna Krieg

I love their gluten free pitas! So good!

Abby

Could eat only this for the rest of my life. Must visit! Lots of gluten free and vegan options.

Lauryn

Gluten free options are awesome. Love this place

Short & Sweet Comfy, art-filled café on 4th Ave, perfect for a bite, local vibes, and supporting the community. Brewing coffee and connection in Tucson’s heart. Longer Musings Café Maggie’s on 4th Ave is the kind of coffee shop that fits you like an old pair of denim—comfortable, worn-in, and ready for all the possibilities. Nestled just steps from the 4th Ave Streetcar and close to the University of Arizona, it’s got an effortless artsy vibe that just is what it’s meant to be—an authentic local spot. Inside, rotating local art fills the walls, community event flyers are tucked along the windows, and a mutual aid water station outside speaks to the café’s dedication to supporting neighbors. It’s the kind of space where chance meetings birth creative change, where ideas flow as easily as the coffee, and revolutionary conversations stoke impassioned visions for tomorrow. You’ll find me here on sunny afternoons with my favorite drink, an extra dirty hot chai latte- perfection! ☕️ 🥧 Their menu has something for everyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, have restrictions, or simply curious. Today I had the avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised to find they kept it simple and let the flavors speak for themselves! Not sure what to order? Just ask—the staff is as welcoming as the space itself. With seating inside and out, nearby metered parking, and convenient options to pay with cash, card, or tap, Café Maggie’s makes grabbing a coffee or meal here easy. And don’t miss the people-watching! Located near the University and in the heart of historic 4th Ave, it’s perfect for a quick escape, gathering with friends, or just being in the moment.

Ate it so fast didn't grab a photo. But absolutely delish. One of our favorite weekend breakfast stops when we're near by. I love the gluten free omelette. The smoked tomato has the perfect extra flavor. It's absolutely yum. I tend to stick to one item once I find it, but my husband has tried many different offerings and never a complaint. Highly recommend stop by and take a try. Not sure the bloody Marys are gluten free, but I drool every time one walks by the table. Give it a try.

Niles Schwartz

Excellent glutinous free pizza. Also there's a couple other gluten free pastas. Antipasto salad was good too.

Ryan Stigleman

Pretty good burger. Nothing crazy good like Freddy's, but way better than a lot of chains. The reason this place stands out is the gluten free buns. They warm them up in the wrapper and they get soft and warm. It's pretty awesome to have it that way.
