It was literally like a day at the Fair! It was Absolutely Amazing! Everything thing was Gluten-free... But tasted absolutely Amazing, you will not be disappointed... It was 10/10... They cook as you order.... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! They do have some vegan options Also!

This was one of the worst gluten free pizzas I've ever had. And one of the most expensive for what it was! 4 slices on an absolutely tasteless and way too over-crispy and unenjoyable crust. I can buy better gluten free pizza frozen at the grocery store. I ordered pizza because my hotel didn't have a microwave so I had no way to heat up leftovers, but this pizza was a joke. Also, rude service. Every time the waiter came to my table, he acted like he was annoyed that I was there. I didn't really have a very pleasant experience dining there.

I have celiac disease and it's had to find good gluten free food. Their sandwiches are awesome and their pizzas are too!

Mel Snts

Came in for the gluten free cheesesteak as I kept seeing it recommended online. It was a solid sandwich. The GF bread was the best part. The steak and cheese needed a little love, some seasoning, and a little more of it in the sandwich.

Allie dePersia

My absolute favorite restaurant! The most delicious food, the safest for people with celiac, the kindest staff, the best vibes, most amazing happy hour! I couldn’t recommend a place more!

Sheryl Murphy

Cool atmosphere. Great gluten free pizza and the brussel sprout salad is tasty.

Olivia Stokes

Alexander Davin

Excellent cheesesteaks with gluten free buns, and GF beer available! Love it!

We have been to Charlie's multiple times and always enjoyed delicious food, great drinks, and awesome service each time. I wanted to specifically highlight that this an amazing place to go for people with food allergies. We went a few weekends ago with my MIL and our family, and we had made a reservation ahead of time that noted my MIL's significant food allergies (corn, gluten, wheat, and dairy). Before we came, they did extra cleaning of the restaurant to avoid cross-contamination and management had briefed the team and our waiter on her allergies. When we arrived they had a special menu prepared for her with all the items she could eat so we didn't have to ask about every one. We ordered lots of food and we all loved our dishes. As each dish came out the waiter noted which had allergens and which didn't so we could easily make sure she got what she needed. She had no reactions and said it was one of the best meals she's ever had. Thank you so much Charlie's for making this so special for us! We will be coming back every time she visits.

hallie was amazing - we are fully gluten free and she was so accommodating and confident in the menu.

Schuyler Nesmith

Can't go wrong with this selection, they're nachos de La casa is off the hook. My wife has celiacs and most items on the menu can be made gluten free.

We had an amazing breakfast at Parc on Valentine’s Day. This is a beautiful, old-school spot with a fancy vibe, perfect for a special occasion. The service was outstanding. Quite attentive and friendly and made the morning feel even more special. They have plenty of gluten-free options, which was a nice touch. I have to say, the omelette I had was the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, cheesy and full of flavor. While some items are a bit on the pricey side, I truly think it was worth it for the quality of the food and the experience. The bread basket was exceptional. The onion soup really lived up to the expectations and had the perfect bread dipped beneath the cheese coating on top (yes, a ton of cheese and calories haha). Everything was just so delicious. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great meal in a classic setting!

Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

Danielle Masursky

My daughter and I loved everything about this restaurant. The service was terrific. The tables had beautiful, colorful coverings. The food was amazing and almost everything is gluten free! I had an arepa with chicken salad, it comes topped with creamy shredded gouda. She had the chicken empanadas, which were crispy and delicious. I can't wait to return and try more dishes.

Daniel Marrazzo

Solid burger place and the ice cream is good too, especially the peanut butter flavor. Friendly staff, good service. Just remember: cash only (I can only imagine how many times a day the guy taking the order has to break the news to customers as they stare back with a confused look on their face). Gluten free buns are a big plus!

Luigi’s Pizza Fresca – A Fairmount Gem! If you're in the Fairmount area, Luigi’s Pizza Fresca is a must-visit! I had the pleasure of trying their Fresca Works pizza as well as a custom-built gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away. Gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss, but Luigi’s absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin, yet strong enough to hold all the delicious cheese and sauce without getting soggy—a rare find. The Fresca Works pizza is also packed with flavor, a perfect choice if you want something hearty and balanced. I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, and this one easily ranks among the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you’ll find something to love here. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Lindsay D

very knowledgeable and accommodating for celiac!

Bernadette Thomas

Quaint little restaurant bar atmosphere. The menu is awesome, but very few options for a celiac gal like myself. The curry deviled eggs were amazing. Gluten is a whole vibe there, so those who can, enjoy!

Keith Miertschin

Narrow restaurant with limited seating inside. Line moved quickly and the smell of grilled meat and onions made us hungry. Ordered Sonny’s loaded cheesesteak with onions mushrooms and peppers with onion rings and fries. The sandwich was stuffed with meat and the provolone was gooey. Excellent sandwich and the rings were thick and crispy My wife got the gluten free bun and it was excellent. Highly recommended. We took our sandwiches to a nearby park to eat lunch. My daughter shared her pictures with me for this post

Saul Kaiserman

An upscale take on a typical Israeli hummus and skewers restaurant. You'll share a huge number of veggie apps for the table, with as many refills as you want, and then everyone orders a main dish (which you can also share). We were blown away by the fish, but underwhelmed but the cauliflower. Great attention to allergies and lots of gluten free options. Like the apps, dessert is also included with the main course. We ended up spending surprisingly less than expected.

Subha Airan-Javia

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

Christina

Delicious breakfast sandwiches in a fast casual atmosphere. The eggs were fluffy and our sandwiches were ready quickly. Gluten free bread is available for a few extra dollars.

Jennifer Amodei

Great service. Delicious food. Enchiladas and plantains are my go to. Also gluten free for my celiac girlfriend!

Donna Matlock

Nicole Iacovoni

Food is mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. $20 for TWO scallops. Salads were bland. Service was slow and food wasn’t served as the menu described. The ambiance is weird…it’s like this restaurant can’t decide who they want to be. One section is rustic, another contemporary, another modern farmhouse style, and last but not least, the kitchen area looks like a 1950’s diner. They up charge for everything. If you have a gluten allergy and ask for gluten free bread, be prepared to pay an extra $3 (even though regular bread is complimentary).

Catherine D’Ambrosio

So delicious! I have a burger on a GF bun and fries from their dedicated fryer. The server was gluten free herself and was SO helpful. I can’t wait to go back!

Valerie Kammer

Mallory Hudson

The online menu isn't super well-labeled, but the staff are extremely knowledgable! I have Celiac Disease, and I accidentally ordered a dish (online) that could not be made gluten-free. The server, Gabby, immediately called me to let me know and suggested a really wonderful gluten-free alternative. The food was ready super quickly and the staff was very friendly.

James Hinzman II

Ate here after the Liberty tour. Fantastic cheesesteak with an excellent gluten free bun, that believe it or not, was the same size as the regular bun. Loved the Old Bay fries as well. Recommend!!

Kai Hinton

The food here was amazing. The menu is simple and they give you so many small bites that are each packed with so much unique flavour. The service is really high quality and numerous servers come by to explain each dish. Don't be afraid of them being booked. If you know what day you want to eat here just set a notification and someone may cancel. That is what happened to us. We didn't mind that our meal was at 9 pm. The food was brought out so fast and no one rushed us despite us being one of the last diners. We thought it was some of the best food we have ever eaten. If you have gluten or dairy restrictions this is the place to go to. Not only did they accommodate it but the replacement portions were also unique and just as good as the menu items.

Halley Kenney

Great gluten free options for salad, sides, and sweets. The butterscotch pudding was amazing. Perfect for grabbing a quick lunch while in the office.

Linda CB

A wide variety of food from Latin countries. However, I didn't see anything that reflected true Puerto Rican options. That was a disappointment. They have a few gluten free options and only one option for brunch. I'm not a fan of chipotle and wasn't in the mood for nachos for breakfast I just had rice and beans which were like warm not hot. It was almost cold. A huge turn off. I tried the yucca bowl that was good but had more cheese than yucca. The yucca fries were good but lacked a distinct flavor. I would have liked some adobo to give it more taste. Service was great. The environment is nice especially if you can eat outside. I will go back to try other things in the future and specify to warm the food.

Kelsie A

Dedicated fryer. Very gf friendly

Kathryn Fox

We loved the vegan and gluten free options. Some items we didn't enjoy personally, but over all it waa good and a great experience. The canoli and the banana pudding were incredible. We are considering going back for the canoli.

Maria Laurenti

An amazing spot for gluten free AND gluten eaters! Get the cheese curds - you’ll thank me later!

Andrea Boffice

Great Happy Hour deals. Wasn't any allergen labeling on the menu, but luckily our awesome server Olivia was GF herself and able to point a few options for me. Had the happy hour chicken satay skewers and they were great (apparently the fried rice could also be made gluten free if you ask)

Sean Callan

Thank god for Nipotina! Ive been searching for a proper gluten free roll for a cheesesteak for some time now. Having Celiac can make finding sandwiches hard but this place makes it easy. They even have gluten free cutlets and a dedicated fryer for certain apps. Would recommend! Cant speak to the atmosphere of the place, got delivery!

Haley G

Very cute place! We’ll definitely be returning. Fairly priced, great service, incredible food. The calamari were amazing as was the caprese salad. We did the tortelloni, ravioli, and mushroom risotto for dinner and all of us were speechless! You can tell how fresh the ingredients are and how thoughtfully they were prepared. If you have celiac disease/are gluten free (or any other dietary restriction), don’t hesitate to make the reservation here; they will take care of you. Thanks for a great experience!

Bri C

Some of the most flavorful chicken tacos I’ve ever had! Plenty of gluten free options on the menu

During our recent visit to Pennsylvania, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic spot that truly exceeded expectations. For a very reasonable price of $59, we enjoyed a delicious spread, including tacos with a side of chili, two burgers with fries, tea, and two waters. One of the standout features was that everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was a huge plus for us. The buns on the burgers were especially delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere was just right—not too loud or crowded—creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. A nice touch is the digital payment option on the receipt, where you can easily pay and leave a tip with a code. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in the area. If you’re in PA and craving some great food in a comfortable setting, this place is highly recommended! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful dinner at Via Locusta. We brought our toddler and baby with us and the staff were so accommodating. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate my mom, who is gluten intolerant and vegetarian. We appreciated being able to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food here.

Amazing restaurant with gluten free options. The cocktails were delicious, and the atmosphere was unbeatable. I would recommend a reservation if you plan to go. If it is a date night for 2, going forward I would have split the salad with my fiance, but we each got our own and it was delicious. We will be back again in the summer to see that menu. Gluten free options available. Staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.
