Top 41 Gluten-Free Pasta Havens Across Minnesota

Ashley Lushinsky

Will ask you when you walk in if you need a GF menu. Owner has celiac. Has separate kitchen space. Large menu. Everything is delicious

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Alysha Hoopman

Celiac friendly

Ivars Linde

We asked for a gluten-free pasta, and it was cross contaminated. The person that ate it ended up getting sick.

Lisa

Great gluten-free pasta dish.

Chad Stutelberg

Food is always great and service is fantastic. We had vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free people in our group and the waitress knew all of the dishes and ingredients and was able to create plates that worked for everyone.

Melanie Epp

Everyone is always happy with their meals. Good option for vegans, vegetarians, and those avoiding gluten. The Elote is my current favorite pizza

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

Ashley Stillwell

A nice place for a quiet evening or a meal on the patio if the weather is right. We come here semi-regularly. I like the fact that they offer gluten free pasta, and I’ve never had a gluten reaction to their food. They also use real olive oil instead of cheaper alternatives (ie. soybean, etc.) I have a soy allergy so this is a big deal for me. Their gluten free flat bread is one of our favorite things to order. The Alfredo sauce is a little heavy in my opinion, but I love the other sauces.

Tom Hamel

The service is outstanding. Friendly and extremely professional. The food is delicious. Everyone in our party had something different and everyone loved their meal. Two people had gluten allergies but no worries the options are wide for them and the waitress was very good about asking and telling them of options. The only downside was the noise level. Unfortunately that’s typical of many restaurants. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place.

Rachel Hicks

Ordered the Luce to go! and my mom always appreciates the gluten-free and vegan cheese option. Always delicious.

Brent Warner

Rad Italian place reminiscent of the Midwest. Service was great, large portions, and tons and tons of gluten free options (never seen this many before). Excellent. Worth a try if you’re in Rochester.

Melanie Epp

Great spot to meet up with friends or go out to dinner with family. I'm always so pleased with all the options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free.

We used Donatellis Catering for our wedding day, and they were amazing to work with. The tasting was a great experience; they provided one of every dish to try as well a few gluten free options since I am gluten free myself. They also had all their linen, silverware, plate, and cup options laid out to choose from. They were helpful in making decisions to keep our costs as low as possible, while still making sure we got everything we wanted! The food was buffet style at our wedding and we went with the Caesar Salad, Tortellini Carbonara, Mostaccholi, and Tuscan Chicken. It also included garlic bread and roasted vegetables! Everyone raved about the food and said it was one of the few times they’ve actually left a wedding full and satisfied with their meal. We were able to pick up the linens the day before to get them on the tables the next morning, and an employee of Donatelli’s stayed until the end of the night to take everything with them and help clean up. The next day they had all our leftovers boxed up and ready to be picked up at the restaurant! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

Kendell St. Brigid

I've always been a fan...until today. I'm stuck with a gluten and dairy free diet so DG has always been a go-to thanks to their menu. It seems they no longer are so keen on being accommodating. Except for a couple of pork dishes there's no options for both without the pig and no substitution for the meats. I had an amazing server who tried to come up with something besides eggs and hash browns that I can make at home for a fraction of the $$$. I was stuck with a bland skillet with two eggs, a mountain of guacamole, and the dryest, hardest fake chorizo I could try to imagine. It was a very expensive, very disappointing, downright bad meal. (But no gluten or dairy.)

Natasha Lunin

Excellent gluten free, vegan and vegetarian pizzas. While staying in the South Minneapolis for a few months this place quickly became a favored eatery! Gluten free menu is huge and there are huge vegetarian sections. Try!!!!

Nora Bengtson

The servers were knowledge and incredibly helpful. Most of the menu can be made gluten free!

Kasia

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

Laura Zats

Lots of GF options in the pasta and pizza sections (not many in the sandwiches or starters). I was excited to hear that their Alfredo sauce doesn’t use a roux so it was safe to eat! However, it’s frustrating that they make you ask the server what is able to be made GF instead of denoting it on the menu the way they do plant-based options.

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

David Lyons

Cannot sing high enough praises of chianti grill or our experience here for our anniversary. John was out server and was the best waiter I've had at a restaurant. We got the surf and turf and the lobster linguine with gluten free noodles. It was all exquisitely prepared and delightful. We also enjoyed the calamari, old fashioned, Chardonnay, and Tennessee cheesecake. Highly recommend this grill for any special occasion!

Kristen Bongard

I love this place! Love coming here to celebrate life events with family and friends! The service is phenomenal, and the food is amazing! I love that they have their own gluten-free menu and even have gluten-free options as specials!! This is one of my favorite restaurants! There's something for everyone here, and you can't go wrong eating at Chianti Grill! ♡

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

Caroline

Everything is good here. The hardest part is trying to decide between getting what you got last time or trying something new. Amazing gluten free options, including fries!!! Local ingredients. When my friend says shes craving a burger this is where we go.

Jon Jenkins

We were surprised by the high-quality food at such a low-key location! We found Ronnally's through FindMeGlutenFree, and they delivered! The gluten-free and gluten-filled food were both delicious, and the throwback pizzeria atmosphere completed the picture.

Heather Zach

A great space to enjoy dinner with someone. Being someone with celiac disease, I always look for a new place to eat while in travel. This is a great spot on the belly and wallet!! I appreciate how knowledgeable the staff and kitchen were aware of allergies. The speed of the kitchen was also wonderful. We got our dinner fast and it was delicious!! I will come back the next time I am in town!!

Becky Czech

This is a great sports bar atmosphere. But, it's kid friendly. Full bar, great gluten-free options and it's very comfortable. The food is fabulous!!!

Bri Johnson

Great food and fair prices! Loved the number of gluten free options. Piano player was such a beautiful touch.

Jennifer Martinson

A nice option for fancy dining or a celebration. I love the white tablecloth dining room for your typical Italian dinner, and there is a more casual dining experience around the bar as well. A highlight is that the menu is very friendly to different dietary needs, including gluten free.

James Bolin

Awesome gluten free options including an amazing GF cheesecake!

Benjamin Siffring

This place is fantastic! Chicken Alfredo is my favorite dish that I have had for special events for over 20 years. I was absolutely dumbfounded when I took the first bite here. This was the best chicken Alfredo I have ever had it honestly made me a bit emotional. The sauce was perfectly balanced and chicken was cooked to perfection. My only regret is not trying this restaurant sooner. Additionally, my wife has gluten ataxia, which is a autoimmune response to gluten and basically an upgraded form of Celiac's. Valentini's had so many great gluten free options, the gf bread and pasta was great according to wifey. Atmosphere and service were top notch. If you haven't been here before and want the best Italian food, stop wasting your time and get a reservation!! (Or just head on in, worked for us but I hear it can be very busy )

Matt Nordin

Love this small town brewery, pull tabs, drinks and awesome food. Even had a gluten free apple beer. Great time!!

Maggie Marie

I was here for lunch during the week. The gluten-free pasta was really good and I was impressed with how much meat was in it. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. I didn't realize there was an outdoor patio and plan to check that out next time!

Joann Daughenbaugh

The Cedar Chest is hands down the BEST place in the Crosslake area! We have always had outstanding service and great food here. I am so appreciative of the variety of gluten-free menu choices!! The wait staff and bar tenders are always so cheerful and friendly. Looking forward to warmer weather so we can dine outside on the beautiful deck.

TL;DR: Discovered Purple Goat on a gluten free FB page. Good food & knowledgeable staff. We were in town over the weekend coming from the Twin Cities, and we stopped in on the way to our hotel, about an hour & a half before close. We hadn't eaten since that morning and were excited to try the menu. We ordered drinks, the pork nachos as an app, and a pair of burgers. Our server April very patiently answered all my questions about the gluten free menu & was very helpful. I had quite a few questions because the menu has a little message about gluten free options posted on a corner of the menu, but none of the individual items are labeled "GF/GS" The nachos were great, and I even ordered extra of the avocado verde salsa. Our burgers were good, juicy & flavorful. The fries they came with were also great. Overall we had a good experience, and would love to come back when we're in town again. We would definitely order the pork nachos again and work our way through the menu. I think the only thing I would love to see is a gluten free dessert option.

Isabel Bimberg

really good vegan and gluten free options. ask for the veg/gf menu. it's yummerz

Laura Zats

Had a super knowledgeable server who made sure to take extra time to answer all my questions. She even knew about how the specials were made, and if they could be made GF. Ended up getting spaghetti with Italian sausage and it’s the best noodle I’ve had since my diagnosis! After dinner, make sure to go down to the first floor and check out the market—there’s a new, clearly marked and pretty big gluten free Italian pasta section—they even have gluten free stuffed shells in the freezer!

Will P

A great place for a romantic dinner with gluten free options available on the menu.

Samantha Castillo

My parents came to town and I wanted to take them somewhere upscale and cool. Josefina was just the right place! The pizzas are so good and they do have a gluten free crust option for both the pizza and pasta so big bonus for that too. Great experience overall.

Phoebe VanGelder

A very cute space for very tasty food, We loved everything we tried! They had gluten free pasta that was better than the norm and the sauces were fantastic. Our waiter, Johnny, was an absolute delight! He was very friendly and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. He really made a good experience a great one!

CoryAnn K

The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. The food was decent, but not amazing. I think they are trying really hard to get the farm to table, real food feel, but fall short in a couple of areas. They should use real ketchup, and the cheese on their cheeseburger was like plastic. Also, there weren't very many vegetable options. We asked for the brussel sprouts to be sauteed instead of fried, but they wouldn't do it. That was disappointing. Glad they have some gluten free options. The chicken was excellent- you can tell it's high quality. We will definitely come back, but I hope they try to raise the bar on their other ingredients and not use so much vegetable oils, but instead use butter, lard, or things that really do come from a farm. Update: we did get a phone call from the owner who said normally they can make vegetables with butter in a pan. Appreciate the follow up.

Pam A

Quality food in a casual dining experience. This place definitely has the "up north" vibe going on. The building has a cool vibe to it and so does the staff. I enjoyed the pork chop with optional chili sauce. It was excellent. I wish that I knew how to make a thick pork chop this well at home. The browns were obviously freshly made and not mushy but kind of firm and gooey. My husband enjoyed a gluten free (GF) pizza and it was delish.

Macey S

Jena Wiley

The food was good, but at a bit higher price than normal. I was impressed that one of the cooks came to the table to explain that their nachos aren't certified gluten-free as there is cross-contamination. Most places wouldn't take the time to discuss that with a customer, they would just go forward with the order, so huge kudos for that! My only complaint would be that our waitress wasn't real attentive to drink refills, etc.

Ella Grace

Everything was delicious and service was fantastic! My partner has severe celiac and our server went above and beyond to make sure she was safe. The food and drink selection were excellent and the price tag for two was reflected the quality. My only complaint was the noise- it was difficult to have a conversation even on a Tuesday night. I’ll be making a reservation for the patio next time!
