Really lovely place for a healthy, delicious meal. I’m gluten-free so I appreciated that that was the default (instead of having to parse through the menu to find the GF options). My partner and I ordered the Tibetan Mama and Saag Bota. Both were flavorful and we loved that they were filling but didn’t leave us feeling heavy afterwards. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, and helpfully walked us first-timers through the menu. We’ll happily eat at Le Botaniste again!

As a gluten free girlie, this is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the city. I get the pad thai and it's consistently delicious. Also, the staff is always attentive but today Kade helped me and she was absolutely lovely. Kind smile, super sweet, and on point with everything! Loved it.

I order take out from here all the time but recently went in person. They have the best homemade marinara sauce I've ever had. My friend who dined with me can't have gluten. She ate her entire bowl of gluten free pasta, which was massive. I will order from here again and again. They have a few tables out front if you want to take in the elements.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! The Cacio Pepe was the best ever! The gluten free version was as good , just a different pasta . The lasagna was crazy good, the best in nyc to date ! Make sure you make a reservation, it’s small and busy. Full bar, great wine selection. The cappuccino was made perfectly, the cannoli was the perfect finish !

Gela and the rest of the staff at Oda House gave us an experience to remember. There was a great atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food. It is perfect for someone who is gluten-free too. We had Georgian wine, the appetizer sampler, entrées, Maya’s cake, and tea. I would recommend Oda House for anyone looking for a great night out and a new cultural experience.

I absolutely love going to Mediterraneo! My go-to order is the gluten-free margherita pizza (the crust is extra crispy) and a fresh salad — the perfect combo. The vongole is also amazing!!! This family-owned gem is a true neighborhood treasure. Melania is the warmest, most welcoming presence, she gives the best hugs. It truly feels like walking into your favorite aunt’s home for dinner. Places like this are what give the Upper East Side its charm and sense of community. Can’t wait to return!

Unsure which was better: the tapas or the service! Our server asked us about allergies and was extremely accommodating by letting us know exactly which tapas contained gluten and separating one piece when possible etc. The sangria was quite nice despite not typically enjoying sangria as it was not overly sweetened. Would definitely recommend for a date or a group!

I went to celebrate my partners birthday. Due to her allergies we were looking for a gluten free place, this was the first thing that drove us to this place. What actually made us stay was the energy we received from our bartender Luis Ortiz. He was kind, funny and a profesional. Luis made us feel at home with his banter and wit. Moreover, his recommendations made our whole experience the more enjoyable. Definitely we will be coming back to share more special memories.

My wife and I had dinner at Finestra on a Friday evening. I had the salmon with vegetables and my wife had the shrimp risotto. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were delicious. My wife enjoy d the risotto and we both agreed it was one of the better meals we have had in NYC. Excellent service as the waitress was attentive to my wife’s celiac issues. Highly recommend Finestra.

There aren’t too many places you can get a gluten-free crêpe at! I wanted something savory and protein dense. To my surprise, the menu has a buckwheat crêpe with chicken pesto! Solid choice for anyone who eats intuitively and listens to their body. Customer service was top notch, and the vibe inside is pretty casual. There is some leakage happening by the front door, but that’s a easy fix.

There is just so much more care in everything they do at this restaurant….We felt extremely special being guests at this restaurant. Well, we felt like what we are - part of the neighbourhood community. Everyone was so attentive. Tony in particular is an icon! We were there for a late lunch. I had the watermelon mojito and it was made with fresh watermelon. The bartender checked in personally whether I liked it or not. It’s so rare for such great service to occur! My cocktail had a perfect level of alcohol, freshness and sweetness. The food was interesting but not in a way that it is fussy. It just felt healthy and made with an absolute sense of care that you felt in every bite. The individual tastes of the varied ingredients were exquisite. You could tell that the owner personally developed the bread recipe. The air holes and bounciness of the bread were to be admired! The octopus and seared calamari left me waking up this morning with a wish to go back for dinner right this evening. Oh, I should mention that we also had a delicious gluten free clam pasta and a great mixed salad. It’s the combination of exquisite homemade food made with love and sprinkled with care that should make you want to go there.

I went here for the first time today and they were incredibly helpful answering questions about my gluten allergy. They offered gluten free bread toasted in a clean pan on the stove, and made all of my food (eggs potatoes and bacon) in a clean pan. The waitress even brought out the bacon ingredients for me to double check it was gluten free. I felt very safe eating there and would highly recommend to anyone looking for affordable gluten free food in the area, which is so hard to come by!!!

Have dined here many times, but I felt compelled to write about the incredible service we received by our server Georgios. I mean wow. He knew the menu front to back, every detail. Everything he recommended- we ordered. I brought 5 others who have never been here before and they were in awe of not only the food, but the 5 star service we received. My sister in law has celiacs disease and our server fully accommodated this and knew exactly which dishes she could and couldn’t have. I believe our server should be recognized for this by his employer! He is truly someone who loves his job and desires to provide excellence.
