Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Connecticut

Richard Onofrio

We went there with our 13 yo who has celiac and got the gluten free pizza and no issues at all… it’s very hard to find a pizza place that we can all eat at… We drove over an hour and 15 minutes and was worth it….

Benjamin Hilborn

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten, and nothing else comes close.

Rachel Lippin-Foster

Gf friendly!

Zachary Fauvel

The owners are very kind and were very welcoming. I have been trying to find a good, gluten free pizza place for a while and Rizzo’s is definitely the place to go. The tubs are very filling and have a great taste. You can tell they were made with passion and heart.

Sara M

They had a variety of gluten free options and our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Having Celiac Disease and adhering to a gluten free diet can be challenging especially trying to eat Chinese takeout. This is the first place in five years I have been able to enjoy Chinese takeout again . My husband and I love the food and staff. We go at least once a week. Extremely friendly and great food !

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Eleanor McClellan

I have to begin by saying that my experience at J Law Kitchen & Craft Bar was outstanding! We hosted a bridal shower for my daughter and it was such a great event! The Event Manager, Clara was so helpful from the first time I contacted her. We met to discuss decorations, menu options and how the room would be set up. My daughter, as well as a few guests required a gluten free menu and we had so many options! The day of the shower, the bridesmaids were able to get into the room in plenty of time to decorate before the guests arrived. The buffet was set up just off the sitting room which made it so easy to move about. Our main server, Jayra was on top of all the drink orders and plates were cleared efficiently. All of the guests were very complimentary of the food and the service.

Love this place! Food was excellent, service was great and atmosphere amazing. I have Celiac and I couldn't have felt more comfortable eating here. An awesome experience

Olga Rodland

Great gluten free options! Suitable for celiacs!

Hannah H

Gluten free dedicated fryer, the best appetizers and drinks. gluten free bread for your table if you order it, a lot of the soups are gluten free and a majority of the menu can be made gluten free. this is my go to spot! very celiac friendly.

Dj Syd

Food was amazing! Man helped daughter select some gluten free bread so we have to wait for her bread. Then drive back to hotel and food was still hot and soooooo yummy. Only downside is with prices I'd like to dine in. Take out I expect to be a Little less. Being Albanian we just put it all on table in hotel and ate. But could be difficult if someone couldn't. Man working was a wonderful person. Flavors were amazing. The best meal I had during this trip to CT!

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

I am going to share our "great experience" at Maggie McFly’s this past week-end. Our family comes here because Maggie’s is the only place in the area with a dedicated fryer for people who can’t eat gluten. For those who don’t know, a dedicated fryer prevents cross-contamination from other fried foods that have gluten in them because it’s an additional stand-alone fryer that only has foods cooked in it that don’t have gluten in them. If you want fried foods, and can’t have gluten, you need this. My daughter and I love both their wings and fries. We also come here because they have excellent food, a huge menu that contains a ton of other gluten-free options and not gluten-free options (this helps with my other kids and just in general), and a great selection of tap beer. Our server was Haley. She was extremely knowledgeable about gluten conditions. She has a family member who has Celiac (gluten medical condition) which is what my daughter has. She did an excellent job and was so friendly and understanding. My wife and I, and my kids, highly recommend Haley and Maggie’s!!!

Jade Warzenski

Used to frequent the wood-n-tap in Milford/Orange area. Loved that place, the food was always good & the atmosphere was great too. This was not that. Although our waiter was very friendly. The food wasn't great. My wife has celiacs, & they had gluten free buns apparently. The waiter mentioned he knew about cross contamination, but I think the cook staff didn't. My wife got very sick shortly after eating here. We had a party of 5, the other couple weren't very happy with their food either. 2 of us got some breaded chicken sandwich. I don't recommend it. It looked like it was breaded & fried several times over before they put it on a sandwich. I hope this location doesn't represent all of the locations. If so, I do not recommend coming here. Hopefully this was a 1 time event. Try if your feeling adventurous. We will not be coming back.

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

TJ McGuckin

Food and service were fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito and added a hasbrown inside of it. The thing was massive and very good. All wait staff was very nice. Coffee was great too. Classic old school diner look and feel. Glad to see they have multiple Gluten Free options + sourdough bread too.

Tony Lupis

By far one of the best gluten free dining experiences my wife (celiac) and I have had!! Delicious food, great gluten free options, and awesome service!! Worth the trip!!

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

Amy Dionne

Large selection of Gluten Free options. Had the brisket with gluten free bacon mac and cheese and it was the best gluten free pasta I have had

David Ruderman

Great sandwiches. House made chips. Gluten free options for everything. Near the state beach. What’s not to like ?

Sofia Mariona-Gonzalez

This is the best gluten free pasta I've ever had !! I'm almost afraid it's too good to be true 😅

Laurie Jambor

Extensive gluten free options and huge portions but pretty pricy!! At least leftovers can be brought home for another meal. Always a risk of cross contamination at an establishment like this

Sofia Mariona-Gonzalez

great gluten free options !! i always call in and my food is ready within 15 min - always delicious :)

Ron Ronald

It's some of the best pizza outside of New Haven. I had the gluten-free pie and it was great. Lots of flour in the air, just FYI for allergies.

TJ McGuckin

Food is always good with a great drink selection of wine and cocktails. Shout out to our server Trevor who was very personable and knowledgeable. He customized a bourbon drink for me that was VERY good. Their in house Gluten Free pasta is highly enjoyed too. We will be back again soon.

K D E

Was seated quickly for how busy it was on a Sunday morning and the gluten-free pancakes were delicious!!

Jessica Sussman

We are regular customers at sparrow for takeout, but with young kids we don't often make it out to the restaurant. We dined in-restaurant with our kids this weekend and just wanted to call out the excellent service. The food, as always, was delicious (best gluten free pizza around! great cocktails, too) but just wanted to acknowledge the warm and attentive server and manager. We'll be back soon! Very lucky to have this place in WH!

Ellen Brower Gately

We love this place and look forward to returning every time we leave. (As a plus, they have gluten-free hot dog and hamburger buns)

Greg Shimer

Gluten free French toast!

Jim Hernandez

I've been meaning to try this place for well over a year and a half and was concerned when it temporarily closed down earlier in 2024. Finding out the owners had staffing issues and, since then, having corrected them, Toast, Four Corners was everything i had hoped for. It is relatively close to the city where i live with an enjoyable ride heading towards the Uconn campus and countryish atmosphere. There is plenty of free parking to this cozy, cute breakfast and lunch nook. Which doesn't seem very large until you go in and see it is much bigger, yet comfortable inside. Sunday after 11 am is prime breakfast hours, but we I didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. Service was very courteous and prompt, not rushing to take an order while deciding. Options from regular breakfast to omelets, sandwiches, waffles ( with chicken), pancakes, gluten free, and the like to their own creation of " the pile" ( caserole style dish). Comfortable, bright, open place with good food and service that will make you want to try it for lunch. Definitely will be on my rotation as one of my local breakfast stops.

Shari Ryan

Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.

Got to try the newly (only 8 months old) cocktail bar - Hartford Flavor Cocktail Parlor tonight! Drink 1 - clarified key lime pie — a perfectly made clarified punch that’s clarified through gluten-free graham crackers. You can absolutely taste the tartness of the lime, as well as the depth of the crackers. Drink 2 - lady in red - citrus forward with deep notes of cinnamon! Delicious - would get again! Crème brûlée trio - strawberry lime, pandan, and orange — each of these were delicious and perfectly sweet, and the sugar crack was exactly what the doctor ordered! Other notes - women owned and operated, with a gorgeous female bartender! The decor is very girly pop and romantic and whimsical - great for date night or also for a date with your mother! The manager Sabrina was so kind and gave us a little mini tour, and you could see her passion for the space! They also serve food and have multiple fun spaces that you can rent out for events. The whole kitchen is gluten free so there’s no cross contamination. They also have a board game closet in case you’d like to chill!

The food was very good (although the French toast could use a bit more cinnamon and vanilla imo), also the hasbrown was literally the best I've had in a long time. Super crispy yet light! Overall it was a very nice restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The coffee is good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating with my dietary needs. They offer a decent variety of gluten-free food, including gf bread, and neither my mom nor I had a reaction (we're both celiac)! The portions are very generous as well!

Alexandra Maldonado

I went here for dinner with a friend before a concert nearby. The food was delicious and I was so excited that there is gluten free mac and cheese (I'm gluten free, unfortunately not by choice!). We live a little over an hour away and are planning to drive here.

Jason Pettrey

Great local restaurant with gluten-free options. Good beer, selection and nice chili. Had some live jazz music on Saturday night as we came through as well. Not college cheap, but the food was good quality. Definitely put on your list to check out.

Lindsey Houser

Lots of gluten-free options. I have some other allergies and they were very accommodating. Gluten-free fish and chips was absolutely delicious! Honestly, you couldn't tell it was gluten free. Drinks were tasty and service was excellent!

Lahiru Subasinghe

This is the third time we've tried their pizza, and it consistently amazes us with its perfect blend of spices. This time, we tried the Hot Oil, Stingers, Mushrooms, Onions, and Anchovies, and everyone loved it. Their gluten-free pizzas are excelent too and brings the same flavours as in the regular one. Although there were long queues for both dine-in and pick-up, it was definitely worth the wait.

Jennifer Schneider

We found this place online before a road trip through the area, as they had gluten-free pizza crust and vegan cheese available for me. My pizza was amazing, as was my fiance's regular crust/cheese pizza. Our server was lovely and the atmosphere was very old-school pub, with large brick pizza ovens in view. Definitely a place to visit in West Hartford :]

Buzz Minickene

Hands down the best Chinese food on the shoreline and maybe Connecticut. Always fresh meat, seafood and vegetables prepared without a ton of oils, sauces and salt/s to drown flavor. They also will prepare dishes for you including doing gluten free on dishes like General Tso’s or sesame chicken with rice/tapioca flour vs wheat.flour.

diana reed

Delish unique French inspired breakfast and lunch with many gluten free options Amazing lattes too! The sweet lady at the barista counter was very attentive and genuinely kind Great portions too! And the soup was truly comfort food!

Victor Avellino

Great food, gear service, gluten free and vegetarian options, “fizzy lifting” seltzers; definitely will be back

Cate Hackett

such awesome food options and for my mom who is gluten free

Jeff Ryan

First visit in quite a long time. We stopped for lunch. I had the Tuscan Salad with shrimp which features polenta croutons. I just love this dish. They offer a complete gluten free menu which my wife really appreciates and source the gluten free breads from Pure Love. My wife had the Ahi Tuna salad special which was a little like a deconstructed poke bowl. If I could change one thing about the atmosphere it would be the music. The hard rock selections didn't go with the Italian vibe. Will return again soon.

Matt M

Nice clean restaurant with very good food. Breakfast and lunch only. Large assortment of gluten free goodies. The GF chocolate chocolate chip cookies was excellent and would not have known it was GF

Terri Moore

Stopped in hoping to get some gluten free food. After ordering coffee, we decided the gluten free options were not for us. I went to the counter to pay for the coffee and politely explained we were looking for something different. The cook proceeded to rattle off all the things she could cook. I politely declined. She continued listing her gluten free accomplishments, pancakes and French toast, to which I declined AGAIN. It came to the point where it was almost badgering. I said “No, thanks,” yet again and that’s when her face changed to anger/disgust, and she slapped her hand down on the counter where I had a placed a $5. Absolutely AWFUL customer service.I actually give zero stars for her childish behavior.

Pam Stan

I have celiac disease and our waiter Josh was very helpful, and patient, when it came to helping me find out what was gf. The food was absolutely amazing 10/10 experience definitely going back!

Emily O'Hara

Gluten-free eaters, beware. I have Celiac Disease. I can’t have gluten, full stop. When I walked into Red 36, I saw a sign on the wall identifying not only the 9 major food allergies, but also the safe handling practices a kitchen should follow for each one. Great! This is a sign that tells people with intolerances that we will be taken care of here. Once seated, I told the waitress about my intolerance, and she immediately brought me a gluten-free menu. Another good sign. I ordered the gluten-free tuna burger, which (according to the gluten-free menu) is supposed to omit the bun, fries, and anything else containing gluten. When my plate came out with fries, I knew something was off. I asked the waitress, and she apologized, confirmed that the fries were not gluten-free and offered to bring me a side salad instead. Separately, I started eating the tuna, but was surprised to find (buried beneath the fish and a pile of coleslaw) crispy egg noodles. I stopped eating and again asked the waitress if my order was gluten free. She returned to the kitchen and informed me that, (1) the crispy noodles were not gluten free, (2) despite having apparently put “gluten free” on my order, the whole meal was not gluten free, (3) the same thing happened at the table next to ours, despite having notified the kitchen accordingly. So, having unknowingly eaten gluten, I now have to wait out a week or more of painful symptoms of my Celiac Disease. I expect a lot more from restaurants that purport to exercise care for people with food allergies. It’s one thing if a kitchen is not equipped to cook according to dietary restrictions—I can manage my expectations. It is quite another when a restaurant is equipped to safely serve people with intolerances, communicates this to the patrons, and then fails to do so twice in a matter of an hour. There’s a lot of trust I have to put into restaurants, and I regret doing so in this instance. I’m beyond grateful that my intolerance doesn’t send me into anaphylaxis. I hope that, wherever the breakdown happened between ordering and serving, it gets resolved before other folks with food intolerances get sick. TL;DR gluten free diners, proceed with caution.

I recently returned to Connecticut and discovered a fantastic spot in Greenwich called Island Fin Poke. I was pleasantly surprised to find ample parking available for the weekend. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Jessica. As a newcomer who had heard about this place from a friend, she inquired about my origin, and we had a brief chat. Jessica’s exceptional communication skills and hospitality truly impressed me. She provided detailed explanations about the menu, including gluten-free options and the food preparation process. I also expressed my interest in their soda machine and ice cream. To top it off, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner. I wholeheartedly give this place a perfect 10-star rating for its parking convenience, hospitality, friendliness, knowledgeability, cleanliness, and, most importantly, the delicious food! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return! Stacey L. Gillespie Owner of Alpha Female Wear

Great place with awesome service. The pizza including the gluten free crust was delicious.
