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

Amazing gluten free pizza and incredible artisan pepperoni. Must have in New Haven

Nextdoor is the best! We love to go there anytime we go out to eat. They have a great menu for everyone; dairy-free, gluten-free options and NACHOS!!! Awesome staff, service and great environment; the ideal place to catch up with friends and family. Doug, the owner, is a wonderful guy; they hosted my 40th birthday party in the back room and everyone had an awesome time. We had pizza and wings all night and hung out at this great restaurant.

Rawa is a gem in Westville, New Haven neighborhood. The staff is always so kind and they have a great rotating selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their dishes (which have many options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian) have so much flavor and quality olive oil with the right amount of subtle spices. Our favorites are the baba ghanouj, the tabbouleh, and any of the biryani dishes. If you save room for dessert, the baklava is absolutely to die for.

There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!

Stopped here on a road trip. Delicious food and plenty of options if you’re gluten-free!

Beautiful establishment, attentive staff. Flavors of the meals are out of this world. I had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Will absolutely be back soon! Gluten free options. Greatly gifted chef. Drinks were SO tasty too! I got the tuna, got it as the chef recommended. My friend ordered the salmon. Was so good! Almond cake, get it if you can!

All the burgers can be made on a gluten free bun, which is very good quality. There is no dedicated gluten free frier, but I haven't had an issue eating the fries (I have gluten intolerance though, not celiac). There is also flourless chocolate cake! My favorite meal here is The Smoker burger on a gluten free bun with fries and a pineapple express.

Here’s a polished version of your Google review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful experience! From tasting the delicious food to immersing ourselves in the culture, everything was amazing. The owners and their family took great care of us, even with our large group! We tried several dishes from the menu, each one flavorful and authentic. A highlight of the visit was witnessing a beautiful coffee ceremony—such a special touch! I also appreciate that the restaurant offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making it accessible for everyone. Highly recommend this place for an incredible dining experience! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

I ordered the chicken and berria tacos told them I had a gluten allergy and went over everything I couldn’t have including cross-contamination. The tacos were really good and I didn’t get sick so overall really good experience!!

Casey Gallagher

Delicious gluten free gnocchi!

William White

This location was great. They took the time to deal with my celiac order. Food was amazing. Girlfriend loved the shake she got.

Food was decent although very simple for the high price ($4.50 for gluten free toast) however, the staff attitude was poor with a sprinkle of elitism.

Marla Darius

Interesting little place in New Haven. Unique inside with a bank vault storing wine. Attentive servers and great menu. The four of us each enjoyed our different dishes of meat lovers pizza, gluten free pasta w shrimp, seared salmon and steak salad. Drinks were also good and well made. Biggest complaint is the noise level. The music speaker sounded blown with much humming and crackle for all bass noise and then as the place filled from 6:15-8 pm it became too noisy to hear people next to me. We eventually left and sat outside to visit. Might dine here again but won’t go on a Friday or during peak dining.

Ella Sweet

The New Haven location is one of my favorite spots to go for breakfast, lunch, or anything in between. Andrew is extremely kind and helpful, making the entire experience a delight. I am constantly thinking I have found my favorite thing on the menu and then I try something new, and the cycle starts all over! I am also celiac and they have a great selection of gluten free options. I couldn't recommend Life Bowls enough.

Wendy Colbert

Simply amazing food and service! Everything I ordered - the endive salad, the duck (canard au chou), and the grand marnier souffle were prepared to perfection with high quality ingredients! In addition, when we initially told our server that I must eat gluten free, he did not bat an eyelash. Everything I ordered already happened to be GF already (and he knew this off hand), but they brought me gluten free toast when my husband was served baguette slices and told me which of my husband's dishes I could try. For those that have a food sensitivity, this consideration means everything for a most pleasant dining experience. Also appreciated was that, after suggesting some wines we liked, our server guided us to a delicious wine within our budget that went very well with both our entrees. My husband ordered the duck confit appetizer and the venison (chevreuil aux poivres), both delicious and perfectly prepared. He also loved the grand marnier souffle. It's so rare that everything we might both order in a restaurant would be so wonderful. We will definitely be back with our foodie friends!

Their breakfast is superb. I liked that there is a gluten free option.

Jon Longobardi

Great atmosphere, you feel like family there. Great Italian in a picturesque setting with seasonal outdoor seating on the patio. Solid wine selection and owners do have gluten free options even if you don't see them on the menu.

Diane Larkin

The restaurant was comfortably elegant. The scenery was fun and entertaining. The food was amazing and the staff was excellent. We we're a large party and I was the only one who required gluten free. They we're well versed and accommodated this so easily. I was impressed by their knowledge. All I asked was if they had gluten free. They took care of the rest. It was amazing. I can't wait to go there again.

Sarah Connors

Came in solo because I was having a difficult personal time today. I sat at the bar and had lovely service and interactions with the staff. The gluten free bolognese was delightful. My drinks were incredible. And the bartender, whose name happens to also be Sarah, was especially kind to me tonight, which I truly needed. Thank you.

Cynthia Paquette

Ordered smoothies for the office crew today. The variety of smoothies, sandwiches and wraps pleased everyone's tastes. The Island Green was the smoothie favorite while the Chipotle Chicken Club and Caribbean Jerk Chicken were amazing. For those with Gluten allergies they were very accommodating with a grilled chicken bowl with a tangy sauce that was delicious. I recommend Tropical Smoothie Café for a quick great tasting healthy lunch for those on the go.

Melissa Baker

My friend bought me a gluten-free cupcake and it was absolutely delicious. I have personally haven't had the opportunity to visit Claire's, but from what I've tasted and heard this is a pretty terrific place to go! I especially love that there are gluten-free options for people to select.

We ordered via a delivery service while staying in New Haven. I got their nachos and fried cauliflower bites and was blown away by how great everything tasted. Awesome gluten free options and vegan as well. The guacamole I paid extra for was a generous portion (I've gotten a little condiment container filled when I've ordered guacamole from other places). Very tasty cheese sauce and plenty of toppings. The ranch dressing that came with the fried cauliflower tasted super fresh and looked to be homemade. Overall great food and I definitely will venture back down to New Haven to eat at their restaurant.

Austin Zhang

Everything was ok, nothing phenomenal but very dietary restriction friendly—in our group we had a nut allergy (at a Thai place I know), vegetarian and a gluten allergy. But we all got our food we’re happy.

Dr. Ebubekir Orsun

Loved the place and food. The gluten pizza is amazing.

Whitney Denary

I had this food at an event and loved their sandwiches. As somebody who is gluten free and vegan, I have low expectations for event food but I was so excited to have multiple sandwich and salad options. Plus, they were delicious and interesting! I really hope my work keeps using them in the future. Sandwich 1: hummus with seasoned carrots, cabbage, and onions Sandwich 2: arugula with a umami marinated tofu

Julia Byriel

Wow is all I can say. We had lattes with oatmilk, and they were delicious. Certainly made with compassion and love for coffee. The gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was to die for. Highly recommend.

Adit Gupta

Amazing gluten free and fresh! Incredible
