Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Rochester

Maura Palumbo

Worth every damn cent you pay. Best pizza I ever had. Can’t even tell it’s gluten free (which is the one my hubby and I get) … NEVER once disappointed like every other restaurant there is!!!! We can always count on our money being well spent. Their emails are a bit strange and weird but I rather weird normal and boring anyday haha.

The bakery we originally ordered from for my son's Bar Mitzvah fell through and we were left with just a week to find non-dairy and gluten-free dessert options for our guests. Red Fern came through with delicious treats and the kind of problem-solving service that meant so much to us when we needed it most. Andrea was so accommodating, our order was ready on time, and everything was delicious. There were so many flavors of mini cupcakes from which to choose and they were fabulous! Yummy little cakes with amazing swirls of frosting and lovely little embellishments like candied fruit, sprinkles, mini cookies, and cookie crumbles. I could eat the chocolate peanut butter rice krispie treats every single day, so good! Nobody even knew the chocolate raspberry cake was non-dairy...they just knew it was delicious and ate every piece of it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I love this place! The food and drinks are amazing and unique, and they have a lot of options for dietary preferences and allergens, including gluten free and vegan.

Tess DuMont

My husband and I have been coming here for brunch every weekend for a few years now. The food is always delicious and the staff is incredible! Lots of options for different dietary restrictions (one happy vegetarian/gluten free gal here- and celiac safe!) and we never leave disappointed. His favorite go-to meal is the mad hatter plate and I love the garden scramble and potatoes with the rabbits way hollandaise sauce. Highly recommend it here! No reservations so be prepared for a wait time but it is WORTH IT!

Gnocci w/ chicken, Lamb shank on risotto, steak w/potatoes & broccolini, grouper on pasta. Uniformly deliciously sauced, plated & voraciously devoured. Service personal & attentive. Champagne& vodka cocktails - yum! No sound absorbers in ths small intimate dining room, consequently noisey. Touch oversalted. Would recommend. Really gluten friendly.

Lewis DiPietro

What an awesome place. Ordered their catering for an early Christmas Party. The food was phenomenal. And with the help of Anthony I was even able to accommodate a couple of Gluten sensitive guests. Really pleased with everything. Thanks very much.

Kelly Bissinger

I love this place. It's been several years since they opened and the pizza is still as good as it was then. My go to pizza: white sauce, feta, mozzarella, spinach, chicken, artichoke, roasted tomatoes, with a basil herb after bake is so yummy. They even have gluten free pizza. Highly recommend!

Taylor Hine

Love this place for the gluten free and vegan options! Super delicious and friendly staff!

Kelly Scott

Had Salenas delivered for dinner and it was delicious. So fresh and tasty. It was so easy to find food I could eat (gluten free dairy free) and it tastes amazing. I also love being able to order margaritas to go!! 5 stars!

Emily Milazzo

Highly recommend, particularly for anyone with food allergies or Celiac Disease. Our little one has Celiac and a milk protein allergy. The first thing the server asks you when you are seated is if anyone has food allergies. They have separate gluten-free prep and cook areas, and a separate fryer, so there's no cross-contamination. All of our son's food was brought out by a manager who oversaw everything and had a wooden "allergy" flag sticking out of the food. The food and service were great too! We'll be coming back!

Anthony Quinn

Great place! Food is amazing and the staff is great. Really enjoy that they have vegan and gluten free options available.

Steve Rankin

Great sweet tea, brewed in house. Great with celiac, ask for the GF menu. It's in the old rail station, right on the river downtown. Tip: park in the Court St deck to avoid the craziness..

My partner and I live in Rochester but travel everywhere, always looking for a new place to eat out at and Lento is just top tier for us; we always, always return to this gem. The rotating menu, farm to table, gluten free and dairy free options are what make this place so incredible. Every time we come here we get something different and we’ve always been over the moon with the service we’ve received. Hailey is incredible!! Above and beyond and such a joy to be served by her. We recommend this place to everyone. If you get dessert we HIGHLY recommend getting the pear ginger Riesling sorbet. It’s amazing, especially when paired with the Mandarin sorbet, we enjoyed sharing a scoop of each after our exquisite meal. Oh, and drinks are second to none.

Sarah Bogdan

They have a HUGE selection of fresh homemade bagels and flavors of cream cheese!! It was overwhelming trying to choose what to get! For $3.75 I got a toasted French toast bagel with raspberry jalapeño cream cheese. She agreed to put butter on it first and then cream cheese! my fav 😋 The bagel was fresh and slightly cinnamony, and the raspberry jalapeño cream cheese was delightfully sweet with a mild kick of an aftertaste. I didn’t get any menu pictures but oh boy I gotta go back to try the other flavors. Maple bacon?? Pumpkin? Salmon? Yes pls. They also have gluten free bagels and vegan cream cheese and pastries!

Bryan Dominey

Quaint little child-friendly spot offering good drinks and good food. However, if you plan on ordering food, you better have some time on your hands. It is not uncommon, from our experience, for food orders to take upwards to 50-60 minutes. Last time we ordered, it took 48 minutes for us to get two wraps that didnt even require any ingredients to be cooked. No explanation, no apology. The gluten-free wrap was in pieces and required a knife and fork (see image). Once again, everything is always delicious, but the speed of service is occasionally mind-boggling.

Jim Carissimi

Excellent food I had the Swiss mushroom burger with fries and the gluten free buns are delicious! We will be back!

jaime tulenko

Food is very good! My husband and I go there every Sunday for lunch. There never seems to be enough staff and the place is always busy! Most Sundays we order ahead and then eat there. I highly recommend the white pizza on the gluten free crust!

Ebonie Barr

Our FAVORITE BRUNCH PLACE IN ROCHESTER HANDS DOWN! I have a severe gluten allergy and they always accommodate even when the menu has changed . The servers are amazing!!!! Everytime!!! Food never misses!!!

Katie Gookin

Dinner was fantastic. We had a change of dinner plans for a group of 9, and they sat us in 15 minutes. The service was excellent; our waitress took such good care of us, and we got our food quickly. We also needed gluten-free options and were very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was in accommodating our needs. Highly recommend this place for both the service and the food quality! ---

Katie Guzzetta

I'd give them higher stars but today they changed their Mac and cheese from gluten free to gluten-rich without posting anything or sharing any information about it and now my celiac friend is super sick. They just made the switch, so if you're celiac or can't tolerate gluten, be warned !!!

Kennedy Sanders

Tapas 177 is such an incredible restaurant in every single way from food to drinks to service to the vibe. This review is about catering!! We worked with Chris Z who is an absolutely phenomenal person. Chris helped us pick out our menu and coordinated everything with us — all the way down to mentioning changes in texture from our usual restaurant experience to general effects of transport/time! Everything was delivered on time and set up perfectly. Even better, it was DELICIOUS and EVERYONE was extremely happy with the options!!! One thing Tapas 177 does exceptionally well is dietary restrictions. They’re very clear about risks with shared fryers but also take great care to label things. The variety on the menu allowed for us to cater gluten free and vegan without settling for things we weren’t interested in. Variety!!! So sorry to my future children but eating a mountain of Tapas 177 spring rolls with my wife on our wedding day is impossible to top. Thank y’all so much!!!!!

Clarence Cibella

Id give 5 but they run out of gluten-free stuff and that's the main reason we go Joanna and Brianna are great wait staff they pamper my 92 year old Dad. The food is usually great too.

Loving You Nails & Spa

Best gluten-free pizza!!

Jillian Wolf

I'm so boring- I've been getting the exact same thing here for the past 5+ years lol. Gluten free pad thai w/ tofu (with sriracha on the side). Sooooo yummy :)

Marco Frasca

Great food, large menu with lots of gluten free options. Friendly service everytime!

FrankenDudi3s

Loved this place the first time I went. I went to order a chicken bowl online and I have Celiac Disease, meaning I cannot have anything with gluten, which pita has. Unbeknownst to be, their chicken bowls have pita on them without the menu on their website saying so. Will not be coming back if they can't even list all the items on their menu properly.

Bill Murphy

The food was good, and I'm glad they have gluten-free bread as an option without additional charge. nice soda machine, lots of sauces! One star removed on atmosphere because the place was freezing cold!

Haley Evans

Great gluten free options. Knowledgeable about allergies.

Jasmine

It was awesome. The food was delicious and they didn't skimp on the portion size at at all. The menu was huge and they have lots of gluten free options. Our waitress was super nice. I would love to go again sometime.

John Tucker

My family and I went there today, we got the nacho extreme, the pretzel, french onion soup and the gluten free meal. Amazing is the only thing I could say !

Heta Gandhi

Truffle Mac and cheese along with a white chocolate almond cake (gluten free) was amazing. Most of their menu is gluten free, but would have enjoyed if there were more vegetarian options. Overall, great ambience and hospitality!

Dave

No complaints about the customer service but multiple times in a row now where I received the wrong order or wrong portion. Ordered a 12 piece grilled chicken nugget and only received the 8 piece. For $3 more dollars it would be nice to have the correct order. And then today I received fried chicken nuggets instead of the grilled chicken nuggets I ordered. I have Celiacs disease, and so I had to throw the whole order away as the food was contaminated with gluten. It would be nice if they actually protected those with allergies. Put me in danger and wasted $10 on dinner.

I should start by saying I am reluctantly gluten-free. There were still customers in the lobby, so I tried to go in first, and it was about 5 min before the lobby closed for the night. I told them l just wanted to grab a take out real quick and didn't want to go through the drive thru with my trailer the girls washing windows told me I couldn't and gave me some sass. I would have just left normally, but it was the last place open with a gluten-free option, and I had a 1½ hour drive home. ☆They did have a gluten-free bun and have gluten-free grilled chicken. ☆They didn't serve it as it was supposed to be topping in a box and bun individually packaged in plastic. ☆They overcharged me $2 for the initial meal. I ordered an original extra pickles gluten-free, so with the prepackaged bun and grilled instead of fried chicken(I miss fried chicken) ☆They put in a deluxe with baccon meal so it cost the extra $2 then of course I was charged for the bun which I expected why does gluten free have to be so hard everywhere. The long and the short of it, the chicken sandwich was okay. The bun was meh, and the service was awful. Next time, I'll go without if I can't go to AURTHOR JAXON'S THE FOOD IS AMAZING AND THEY DON'T HASSEL YOU OVER GLUTEN-FREE!!!

This place has been on my local restaurants to try for awhile now. It did not disappoint. I went with a couple of my girlfriends, one of which is gluten free. This place was perfect because they have several gluten free and also vegan options for anyone looking for those dietary choices. I started off with the duck wings, which were so much larger than I expected, perfectly crunchy with a somewhat sweet sauce (reminded me of country sweet sauce) which really married the flavors. I chose to have the gnocchi with peas, large thick pieces of fresh pancetta, mushrooms, in a light cream sauce with parmigiana shavings. I needed to add some more seasoning and parmigiana, but ultimately it was good considering it was listed as gluten free. This place is worth a try. It is perfect to go with friends, a romantic dinner, or also great for double dates.

Clarence Cibella

Great food and gluten-free options never been ill from eating there. Great liquor selections as well would give it a 5 but parking is a little difficult and stairs

Tricia Gonzalez

They have gluten-free and vegan options. It’s an amazing small business to support.

Brian Ferris

Nice coffee shop. Had coffee ready quickly and my breakfast sandwich came out pretty soon after that. Also had Gluten Free bread for my wife. Fun artwork on the walls

Janine G

Silo Brunch Bar is a fantastic and refreshing brunch spot in Greece - definitely not your grandma’s diner. Silo outshines any other brunch we’ve had in the Rochester area. Plenty of vegetarian options make it a win, and I can personally recommend the Veggie Omelet, Pancakes, and Caprese. My meat-loving daughter-in-law devoured the Silo Reuben and loved every bite. Bonus: If you need gluten-free bread, they’ve got you covered! For a brunch that’s anything but ordinary, Silo is a must-visit. Oh and the hashbrowns! Just bury me now! YUM!

Genny Pachoud

I used to have the most amazing experiences here, never had any issues. However I went here for Valentine’s Day and my pasta definitely tasted like regular pasta (if you know, you know). I asked the waitress to check with the cook and since we were sitting right by the kitchen, we saw the chef get mad because they had just closed the kitchen and he didn’t want to make a new meal and said to “just tell her it’s gluten free”. I brought this up to management with no response, so I won’t be returning here sadly.

Barbara Markarian

Good Italian restaurant with a great selection of items on the menu. The prices are reasonable and the food is plentiful. Our server was very nice and refilled our drinks, ice tea, without being told. They also have gluten free upon request.

Tia DeVore

In town for a long weekend and found this place. I had a gluten free personal veggie pizza with dairy free cheese, and it was delicious. My husband ordered a burger and fries. The fries were crispy and so good. My kids got meatball subs and an order of cinnamon sticks. They had something for everyone, a great spot to have lunch.

Nathan Erbland

The wings were very good. The gluten free pizza was also delicious.

Pam Wilbur

Love this place ❤️ Food always good. Many gluten free options including beer.

Val

We tried going on a Saturday evening for dinner but the wait time was an hour and 30 minutes for a table inside and outside. They don’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait if you want to go on a Friday or Saturday night! So instead, we went the next day at 11am when they first opened. I’m so glad we did because we got a seat on the balcony overlooking the falls. Service was very friendly and accommodating! I got the veggie burger on a gluten free bun with a side of chips. My group tried the pretzel appetizer and they said it was amazing. The Mac and cheese was also a huge hit for my friends!

Rossi Family

The place was clean with good gluten free pizza. The lamb chops were also tasty. The bathrooms are well kept and the service was solid. Parking was right next door in a lot with plenty of spots reserved for their customers. I'd go back without hesitating.

Hanna Neumann

The food is unbelievable. The flavors are mouthwatering, and you get a large portion for a very reasonable price. They have gluten free ingera which is so lovely for those with an allergy. Highly, highly recommend. Lots of vegan options as well. The workers are very, very nice as well!

Sarah Bogdan

The Bear housemade syrup (honey, cinnamon, cardamom) in a hot oatmilk latte was SOO good, and the gluten free lemon raspberry cookie was surprisingly so so good like I couldn’t tell it was gluten free and the icing was delicious. They have some really good sounding housemade flavors, plus several lovely looking pastries. The inside is beautiful with lots of plants and a variety of seating, including a cozy upstairs.

Emily Boyd

Great spot for your classic American greasy fare. Their garbage plates are top notch and I love that they offer white hots. Lots of great potato base options for gluten free people like myself!

Erica Blakeslee

Cute little place. Got coffee and a gluten free item. service was good. Coffee was good. Will absolutely go back again.

John Robert

They handled my wife's gluten allergy like professionals by changing their gloves. They will do this upon request.
