Gluten Free Italian heaven. Pizza, Pasta, Ravioli, GARLIC BREAD, and cheesecake just to name a few. Entirely gluten free menu and just amazing 🥲

This was a truly amazing meal!! Fish of the day was Halibut and prepared gluten free. It was so good. My son had gluten free Fish & Chips - first time and is hooked!! We saved room for dessert of a cheesecake that is something we will get again this weekend! Of course gluten free!! Amber was so kind and took great care of us! The place is cozy and great atmosphere!! We will eat again there soon. **To note- my son and I both have Celiac Disease and had no issues. Truly gluten free!!

Bailey Lesslie

Such yummy sandwiches! Made GF with a biscuit that didn’t crumble or taste dry

Hannah Young

The gal at the register was great. Kind, informative and patient, also fun! My biscuit was great- so thankful for a good gluten free biscuit!! The sandwich was tasty and I wish I could grab these more often. Outside, you order at the window and wait for your to-go order. Not really seating- which I didn’t realize in advance.

Lauren Harris

This was so good. As a celiac, it’s always difficult to find sushi. Rolls were fresh and staff were knowledgeable. There are more limited selections available but if you’re not picky, this is a great spot. Would highly recommend.

MaddiezMunchies

Only a couple dishes could be made gluten free and none of the desserts could really be modified to gluten free. Even so the pasta sauce was delicious and made up for the lack of options. We had a dessert red wine (recioto della valpolicella) that was absolutely delicious, the chocolate notes were mouthwatering. Even so for the price and the serving sizes I probably wouldn’t go back, especially if you have a food allergy.

Great cafe in belltown! Organic and super clean ingredients. The owner was very nice and helped me order for dairy free. They have many gluten free and vegan out also do halal meat. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very comfortable. Plenty of seating and a good array of healthy options on the menu. Plenty of street parking and easy walk from public transit. Bathrooms available.

Highly recommended place to eat when visiting Seattle. Plenty of Gluten Free options on the menu for anyone with coeliac disease. They have a seperate fryer and preparation area too. The GF burger buns were amazing. Thanks for lunch!

Maytrelli Segovia

Loved this place given they have lots of dairy free and gluten free options!! I really enjoyed being able to make my own pizza and not worry about food allergies / restrictions! Will be back next time I’m in town!!

Stephanie Brown

Great gf options! Would come back

Seamus Reilly

Awesome gluten-free pizza!

Jessica Probasco

Gluten free friendly pizza was decent. Needed some more sauce and toppings.

Timothy Leo

Phenomenal gluten free bread (a full baguette, not the usual extremely-tiny-sliced-bread). The Gooch sandwich was delish

Traci Reuter

Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac. Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac. There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order. Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good. Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious. Great meal and great night out.

Hales Emerson

A few things: 1) loved the affirming environment and good vibes. Happy pride! 2) the wait for food was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than what we were told/what the sign said upon arrival. We even ordered ahead. Instead of 30 mins, it took over an hour to get our food. It was good, but not good enough to take that amount of time to make... 3) the small amount of seating outside consisted of rickety little chairs and tables, which are great for smaller folks, but not inclusive for bigger folks, or those with disabilities. This was disappointing. 4) the gluten free biscuit my partner got was like a dense, starchy, hockey puck. Do not recommend. I think there are definitely some improvements that could be made to this restaurant's operations.

Olivia Walliser

I was in Seattle for a conference and came to Tidal twice because it was so good. The oysters, fish and chips, cocktails, and even desserts were phenomenal. Clearly, because I had to come back for their weekend breakfast (not pictured because I ate it so quickly). A special thank you to Veasita, George, and Manty (I apologize if I misspelled names). They were so helpful, personable, and charming. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back for happy hour! I only wish I didn’t leave before the shuck and sip class, I would have been the first to sign up. Note: AMAZING gluten free options here!

Jennifer Lake

AMAZING!! Gluten free options and lovely food. A true find!!

nic “Wandering Kiltsman” cornett

Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.

Gretchen G

Food was okay - not taco truck good, though. I appreciate that they had tons of options, I had no trouble finding food as a gluten-free vegan. Cost was more than most Mexican restaurants, definitely priced up for the area (touristy, next to Pike’s Place). Service was almost non-existent, attributable to the ordering system (QR codes for ordering) - but the server was very sweet and kind during the 2 seconds that I did speak to her. The highlight was the tacos. The nachos, however, were the most depressing nachos of my life - lacked most of the ingredients that were advertised. I’ve had better nachos at high school football games. If not for the many options available, would have given 3 stars. Expect to spend $30+ (after tips) as a moderate eater

Kim Lloyd

Wonderful service and the best pesto I have had in a long time. (Good) Gluten free pizza available! Full bar :)

Cameron Weiss

Pho is gluten free and the broth is to die for

mohina kulkarni

Awesome Awesome Awesome. Happy we stood in the serpentine queue..it was worth waiting. The chowder choices are plenty for non vegetarians...if undecided they offer 4 samplers for 19.95..we chose large gluten free coconut and lime with vegetables...ooh lala..it was fantabulous..the sourdough bread and oyster crackers took the experience to a climax..staff was awesome 👌. Recycle bins are easily accessible. Toilets are just 100m inside. Gratitude for the experience

Kimberly Fisher

The food is delicious and the service is incredibly fast. I really appreciate the variety of options on the menu, including special dishes from the chef and traditional Thai fare. It's great that many dishes and curries can be made gluten-free. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Lauren Warnke

Amazing service! I love that the have Gluten free tamari! And lots of options marked to be gluten free on the menu!

Scott Eburne

Why have gluten free options when you can't make that request on the self serve kiosk?? And the checkout is blocked by a table. Obviously don't want our business.

Benjamin Rackl

Had an excellent omakase experience, with fantastic dishes and interesting explanations. Service was top-notch, plus the team did a great.job accommodating a gluten-free version of the planned menu for Celiac. Sure, it's a pricey meal, but the quality and quantity of fish was A+.

Wendy McNab

What a great place to have a burger or steak. Unfortunately there are no gluten free pasta options. But my friends/family who can have gluten enjoyed the pasta. It all looked delicious. It’s a busy place with great food.

Lisa Visintainer

I am gluten free and they had a specific menu for me and most of the food on it was the same as the regular menu. What a treat! The food was delicious, the server was super attentive and I like the simple elegant style. I will be back.

Elizabeth C

We went here twice during our weekend visit in Seattle because it was such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Both nights the servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Both of us needing gluten free options, we were easily able to find something that worked for us. The seasonal watermelon salad was so delicious and the presentation of everything was just beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

Rabab Ibrahim

I found my favorite pasta place! As someone who rarely visits Italian restaurants due to gluten intolerances, I took a chance with this place and do not regret one bit. The linguini nere Al Salmone might be the best pasta I’ve ever had, it had the perfect balance of creaminess but not too heavy, and the squid ink is barely detectable. The ravioli’s creamy sauce was delicious. The risotto was also good, a little too tomatoey but a solid 7.5/10. We also got the bruschetta and garlic bread which paired really nicely with the balsamic olive oil that they serve. It’s very pricey, with tip it costed us $200 for 4 adults. It’s definitely a place to go to once in a while for an occasion. Ambience is romantic and also comforting. If you’re looking to go to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, this place is it.

Miron

Delicious place!! They have gluten free clearly labeled and can make many dishes vegan. Everybody in my party loved what they ordered!

Tausha Brubaker

Celiac here visiting and we loved everything about this place! No cross contamination issues, sausages were great and dedicated fryer with yummy fries. Service good as well!

Kim Ropp

Cold pizza, unfortunately. Delivery in Seattle is notoriously expensive, and this was no exception. I ordered a 12" pizza on gluten free crust and a small salad, and after taxes, fees, and a decent tip, my total was over $56. I needed to stay in with a sick kiddo, so delivery seemed worth it this time. In general, the pizza seems good. Unfortunately, it was cold upon delivery, and as we're in a hotel, we have no way to heat it up. Gluten free crust tend to harden when cold, and this is no exception. Very crunchy around the edges. I don't know if this is an issue with Slice, maybe. When the delivery driver called me the caller ID said Doordash, so maybe it virtually changes hands a couple times before someone picks it up.

We came here on a Tuesday night and it had a line out the door. I think maybe because the hostess didn't know how to utilize other people to help her seat people. It's a nice place located on the lower lever of Pike Place Market. However, waiting outside for your table is quite interesting as the market staff or city workers (it wasn't clear which) washed down the steps and streets/flooring within the center with fire hoses to get rid of the urine. It's almost as bad at Bourbon Street in New Orleans. They sat us and immediately took our drinks. Our group ended up drinking four bottles of wine. I had a Moscow mule and they made it exceptionally well. We ordered a number of appetizers for the table: Arancini - these were fabulous and large in size. Focaccia - this came with a garlic oil, but was not over the top with garlic flavor. Truthfully, they shouldn't charge you for this and just bring it to your table. Charging $4 per order is silly. Sauteed Calamari - my friends said this was pretty good, but I'm allergic, so I did not partake. Next, we ordered our meals. It's a hard menu for those with some dietary restrictions. One member of our group needs gluten free options (there was only one pasta dis (though he could have had the gluten-free pasta with any pasta dish). He didn't want steak or chicken as you could get those anywhere. I really like gnocchi, but it came with a heavy cream sauce. I could have asked for the bolognese, but its made with veal and lamb, neither which I'm a fan of. They had some more seafood dishes, again, I'm not a fish person (just basically eat shrimp). So I ordered the chicken parmigiana (I normally don't order a fried chicken breast that is smothered in marinara and covered in cheese and then baked, because there are generally better pasta options, but not here. It's very frou-frou. The chicken parm was fantastic! It came with two chicken breasts and atop a heaping pile of small shell noodles covered in marinara and parmesan cheese. This is easily shared with two or three people. I would have brought it home had I lived there, but reheated in my hotel room the next day would have been gross. We were so stuffed that no one got dessert. Don't misconstrue my 4 stars for a lacking review. The food, drinks, and service were phenomenal. However, my opinion is that the charging of bread for the table is kind of tacky and it's definitely more of a frou-frou Italian place. If you're looking for more staple Italian dinners, this is not your place. However, it is great for groups, and perfect for a nice dinner or date night.

Kara Mulvey

We went there two days in a row, it was the good! I have celiacs and Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and careful about it. Helped communicate to the staff. I highly recommend.

George Edwards

The food here was wonderful!, the service was friendly and prompt..and they have Gluten Free Pasta!, though not identified on the menu.

Misty White

This cute little cafe is so close to Pike Place Market and food is excellent. Our service was phenomenal, staff is very attentive. I ordered crab Benedict and it was amazing!! Husband ordered biscuits and gravy and enjoyed his food as well. My daughters ordered the Belgian waffle and were quite pleased. Enjoyed a mimosa, special of the day. I also enjoyed the Nutella mocha and it was absolutely delightful, not overly sweet at all but that’s how I enjoy it best. Wait time was minimal. Definitely recommend. I didn’t notice anything dedicated gluten free, but there were items to order that typically don’t have gluten in them naturally.

Eli L

Great tasting sandwiches. They seem to take gluten free seriously which is hard to find at a sandwich place. Potato salad was also delicious.

Hailey

Lovely restaurant. We waited a while for our server, but eventually got some drinks from the hostess. They DO NOT have gluten free bread contrary to another review. The mimosa was good. I loved the breakfast potatoes, extra crispy.

Lior Seidel

Great lunch spot! Their GF wraps are amazing.

Sebastian Velasco

Great vegan and gluten-free options, lively and authentic Seattle atmosphere, with excellent customer service. Will definitely be coming back; especially with family or friends requiring different dietary options but still wanting delicious food.

Eric Talamantez

For the price, the portion size was pretty small. The food I got was tasty, and I gotta give props for the cooks for having gluten options. Overall, I enjoyed my food, but I found the flavors quite basic. They simply don’t have the depth or that something special that I couldn’t easily make at home.

Joy Laydbak

The rotating wine selection here is the real deal. Always interesting options and never bad wine. Service is good. My only complaint is a lack of gluten free food, so I've never eaten here. I just come for the drink

Ashlee H

This place was fantastic. Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. We got their patty melt and a blackened chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. The chicken sandwich had such a great flavor combo. The buns were also delicious. They also had gluten free buns if you are GF and gluten free fish and chips (and more) in addition to vegetarian options. The fries were different and so tasty. We started with stuffed dates which are always my favorite. Will definitely be back here.

Quinn Schiller (Quinn Schiller)

The chai granola is gluten free and vegan

Veronika Desalgado

Very good casual Thai restaurant. Atmosphere: pleasant Restrooms: clean Food: delicious Service: really good The menu shows gluten and peanut warnings, which is nice.

cosette robinson

There were a few gluten free options and the staff was very knowledgeable about which ones could be made GF. The sushi was pretty average and the atmosphere felt pandering to white people. Overall it was decent and I didn't regret going here. Decent happy hour prices.

Elizabeth J

Amazing food! We grabbed breakfast from here since it’s hard to find gluten free breakfast options and this was a fantastic option.

ElvesShame

Sold me obviously not gluten free food after specifically requesting gluten free food for my wife's allergy

Ben Hurst

Funky dive with surprisingly fantastic food. Great options for meat eaters, vegan, gluten-free, you name it... and all equally delicious.
