Fabulous!

I went to Al Dente next door to here and asked if I could sit at the bar and the gentleman at the front (owner?) was very pleasant in directing me to “his bar” in Benevetos. So they’re related. The menus are similar except Benevotos has a great open kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven. I was a bit pasta-d out so I was hoping for the Sea Bass Al Dente but it isn’t on this menu. So I went for pizza, and they had a gluten free crust (+$5, a little steep) which was very good. The bar tender, who did a great job, said it would be thin, crunchy and good, and she was right. Overall it was a good pizza with plenty of fresh ingredients. Perhaps undercooked on top, which can happen with a Gf crust, but solid. I’ll try the sea bass next door next time.

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Lucy Huang

Risotto is delicious and gluten free. Our waitress recommended brussel sprouts for appetizers, which was 🔥

Tanuj Chawla

A beautiful ambience and some very supportive staff. Unfortunately though they have limited gluten free and low-FODMAP options. So, folks with food sensitivities- this lovely place ain't for you.

GLUTEN FREE DREAM!!!!!! This is a small towny restaurant - it’s actually very small ha, but in a cute cabin-like way. The owner, John, came to introduce himself and tell us about the menu. He has been gluten-free for the last 25+ years and understands the importance of gluten-free items on the menu. He said that all, but four items on the menu are either naturally gluten-free or could be made gluten-free. They have a gluten-free only section in the kitchen that is separated from the rest and they do their absolute best effort at avoiding cross contamination. Raquel our waitress was super sweet and attentive as well. Their mud pie dessert has GF Oreo cookies! DELICIOUS. We ordered fried oysters, calamari, lobster penne vodka, and surf and turf with friend clam strips. OMG DELICIOUS. I have been so limited for so long as someone with celiac disease and I finally found a place I could peacefully enjoy fried foods at!

Danielle D

Delicious and dedicated gluten free, mostly dairy free as well

Sharon McCaskill, RDN

Gluten-free seafood HEAVEN! Not only is everything fried gluten free, but they have dairy free and vegan options. They even have gluten free ice cream sandwiches. Great food!

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Natalie Acheson

Very good burgers! Loved that the waiter knew exactly what I was asking about the French fries being gluten free. Fries and tots are safe and fried in a separate frier! Very tasty fries and the gluten free bun was good too!

Amber Easterling

Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!

Amber Easterling

Homemade GF pasta and mozzarella sticks!!! Yes please!! My sister and I both have celiac and our waiter put us at ease right away, letting us know that the gluten-free food was prepared in a separate area. I did have my 10 year old niece with me. She was not as appreciative of the menu. There were not many options for her as a child.

Lorna Vaughen

Dedicated to gluten free. The afternoon tea set was just like when I went to London (before I had been diagnosed with celiac). Amazing! Expensive, but so so fun.

Lexi Shaw

Delicious gluten free French toast! Place was packed with a long line outside, but service was fast for the amount of people there. Food was worth the wait! Seating is tight and probably not a lot of room for strollers or wheelchairs, I’d call ahead to make sure.

Nicholas Viti

Classic diner experience here with some unique menu options (including AMAZING gluten free pancakes!) plus all the usuals as well. Recommend!

Mickey Crump

Extensive gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options! The gluten free “spaceballs” are meant to be gf garlic bread. It’s just a pizza crust with seasonings and parmesan shaker cheese. I tried the gf cauliflower bites and they were alright! They were baked, not fried. The pizza was pretty good but nothing special.

Scott Crevier

The best place for Italian deli and gluten free dishes!

Mark Dipsey

Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing

Katerina Steele

Great spot--especially for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, Jain, gluten free all have tons of fantastic options). Very authentic food, cooked fresh from real ingredients. The Spring Dosa is a go-to for us, and the paneer Tikka masala is decadent for a cold day. Most things on the menu have a low but noticable level of spiciness (and some things are truly hot)--and not just on the Boston scale for heat.

Gabriella Bauer

As someone who is always on the search for delicious, local gf eats, this place definitely hit the spot! Food was surprisingly filling without being greasy, and had delicious complex flavors despite being outwardly simple. I tend to be a fan of Brazilian cuisine due to the great flavors and gluten friendly versatility, and this was no exception. However, I do wish they had more dairy free items (I am also lactose intolerant).

Krystal (CrowXO)

We stopped in on a whim, traveling back to Maine and we are so glad we did. The gluten free options are what drew us in, but the top tier service and quality of this food have now made this our official spot when we come down. The hostess was incredibly friendly, our server was kind, and the food (GF fried pickles, calamari, bang bang shrimp, and onion rings) were incredible, as was the heated deck atmosphere. We will be back, very very soon.

Kaitlin Kobrenski

All but one item on their menu can be made gluten free. All fryers are dedicated GF. Great meal!

Dan MacKnight

I wanted to like this place but the service was really terrible. It took us an hour to receive an order of chicken fingers and they still messed up the order fairly seriously (we ordered gluten free chicken fingers and stated that it was due to an allergy multiple times). When our order finally came out (45 minutes after the couple that were were with received their food), it was definitely not gluten free. It took several minutes to flag down our server to ask if the order was GF, she took it back to the kitchen, and 10 minutes later she came out with a new plate and just said “this one is definitely gluten free.” No acknowledgement or apology for almost getting us sick or the hour that it took to receive our food, and we still paid full price. Which $15+ for 4 chicken fingers and some tater tots is insane. I watched the kitchen runner bring food to the wrong table at least 4 or 5 times. Just blindly asking people “did you order this?” The lack of attention could get someone sick when dealing with food allergies. Half of the arcade games were either out of order or in desperate need of service. I really wanted to like this place but we left feeling ripped off.

Michelle N was Gothard

Lots of safe gluten free options including fish and chips. Very helpful staff

Michael Lank

Really enjoy their gluten free food

Sarah Richards

The gluten free roll is actually amazing. I haven't had a proper breakfast sandwich in 10+ years and I'm so glad that streak was broken today.

brian smith

Food was all excellent, staff was great, gluten free kitchen. We will definitely be back!!

Really tough time trying out Clancy’s tonight. Overall, the food was expensive but reasonable (large portions, flavorful), but we had one of the genuinely worst service experiences of my entire life here tonight. From the start, our waiter Lery made our party extremely uncomfortable. One of our friends is celiac and has a very serious gluten allergy. When she inquired if there was a separate fryer for the gluten-free food (a typical question to avoid cross-contamination), he was extremely rude and said, “Doesn’t it say gluten free on the menu? Obviously it is.” When our food came out, he specifically called her out and said, “Wait for yours, make sure you don’t even look at anyone else’s, because yours is coming out RIGHT NOW”, in a joking tone, to continue to make fun of her dietary restriction. When she tried to clarify that this was a severe allergy and not a preference, he said, “Wow, she must be the mom, okay boss, okay boss”. After a series of other uncomfortable exchanges, another one of our friends asked if she could please get a Maitai. He looked at her and laughed and said, “You’re not old enough, no”. He continued to tell her she looked like a child, even though we were all adults in the room. He also asked if our other friend was okay, all because he had ordered two drinks in a two hour dinner period. After he said he was fine, Lery said, “Well I know I’ll be having four later tonight!” The last situation occurred at the very end of the evening. After these weird exchanges and targeted remarks, we were all very ready to leave. When he was bringing up the bill, he pointed at me directly and asked twice, “Where are you from?”. I should say that I was the only person of color in our table. After I told him, he said back, “I can tell YOU are not from around here”. When I asked why, he said that people on the Cape “look alike” and it was evident that I was different. All in all, such a disappointing experience when just trying to enjoy a nice dinner at what seemed to be an excellent restaurant. Extremely sad for our party to have received such unfortunate, unprofessional, and inappropriate treatment from a member of this wait staff. What an ugly ending to a beautiful night at a restaurant with a stunning sunset view.

This place is awesome. The food and smoothies are excellent and so many gluten free options. The interior decoration is also really neat.

Nicola Sampson

Amazing restaurant. Affordable. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Very accommodating with gluten allergy.

Alex Drake (Adrake1234)

Really friendly staff, great pizza, amazing gluten free pizza and fun place overall

Lauren Shuman

I came here with a very large group and the restaurant was very accommodating and the staff was fantastic! They have lots of food options, including vegan and gluten free.

Kelly Young

Food was delicious, so many gluten free options.

The Abbey is the perfect place to grab drinks with friends at midnight, enjoy a tomato bisque with parents at 5pm, and get married!! lol yes I did get married here a month ago, and prior to that event, my partner and I have been proud patrons for the last 3.5 years. An excellent $12 cocktail menu, delicious cod and steak frites, and a warm, classy but casual atmosphere. Servers are consistently great. They also have an entirely separate gluten-free menu that my gluten-free friends are super happy with. We also reserved their downstairs for our 30-person wedding! Dean, the manager, was super enjoyable to work with to plan the event, and Rachel and Matt were our bartenders and servers day-of and really made everything so easy. Thank you guys! If you’re looking for a wedding space that’s inviting, classy, and casual, and you don’t mind getting married in front of an exit sign (we did not mind lol), I strongly recommend. We genuinely feel that the evening was pretty perfect, and our friends are still raving about the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I could also imagine their downstairs being a great space for any relatively intimate event you’d like to host! If you’re not planning to get married soon, I’d still suggest stopping by for an enjoyable meal and cleverly named cocktail. We will be soon.

Amber Easterling

They offer a small selection of gluten friendly baked goods. There is a risk of cross contamination due to shared areas.

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Sydney Erickson

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.

catherine stark

What a fun retro diner! Staff very friendly. Atmosphere great along with music. Food excellent with nice sized portions. I needed a Gluten free breakfast and gf Belgian waffle with very fresh strawberries was delicious! Other gluten free options available too. And real maple syrup available on request at a minimal price.

Marianna Erika

The restaurant boasts the fact that they can make most of the menu gluten free, but after asking about gluten free pasta, I was informed they don't have it. So I decided on the caprese risotto since it was one of the options I could have. It was very tasty. A little too cheesy for my taste, but overall a solid meal. Do not come here expecting gf pasta though.

Matthew Fanning

Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

Lorna Vaughen

I often DoorDash their Nutella crepe and their Berry Antionette crepe. Very reasonable prices and amazing quality.

Kit Johnson

This was my second time visiting the Trail House restaurant and I was so happy that we went back. The food is delicious and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. There are a ton of gluten free options and we ate everything on our plates. Even the veggies on the side of our main dish were so flavorful and delicious that we wanted more. I personally love getting the Maple Bacon Chicken. Drinks were really good too. I had a Mocktail this time because I was driving, but last time I came I had a drink and it was pretty strong. The outdoor seating looked really nice with fire pits and a garden. It was too cold to sit outside this time, but I would like to come back.

Michael Lucey

Very chill, local vibes spot with a vast menu of options for everyone. Everything that I have ordered is great…loaded fries with bacon, deep fried pickles, crab cakes, baked cod, mozzarella sticks, pulled pork tacos, all good! Probably the best Gluten Free meals that I have eaten on the mid Cape! Plus for all you non drinkers, like me, they have top notch zero proof mock-tails. Service is outstanding and the food is always consistently good. Just go. Hang out, order a lot. Enjoy!

Danielle D

Delicious flatbread

Tammy Morgan

They have a great gluten free menu. The pizza is great!! So nice to find a good place to eat for gluten free.

Meera L

Lively, spacious restaurant! Great for groups. I was impressed by the food, especially the wide variety of gluten free options. I assume they must have a GF fryer because there were some non-traditional gluten free options, such as sesame chicken. I enjoyed the salmon bowl and brussels sprouts. The guacamole was great as well. I think these were the most crispy tater tots I have ever had. The menu is quite broad, you will find something for everyone.

Nicole B

Well know allergy accommodating place!

chanda ellis

Ordered take out to bring over to family for a holiday brunch. Great gluten free selections. Excellent hollandaise sauce!

Kira Villarose

5+ stars! Can’t recommend enough. Everything is amazing & the fact that Monday is gluten free night is 10/10 as someone with a severe gluten allergy. Love Prima!!

Andrea Leon

We had a large reservation, but there was only one waiter, which caused each step of the process to take about an hour—from placing our order to receiving the bill. I’m not sure if this was intentional or an oversight. While we enjoyed the food, nothing stood out enough to be memorable a week later other than one of the mocktails. I mentioned that I have celiac and was directed to specific items labeled as GF, but I still had a reaction toward the end of our visit. I’d say the restaurant is gluten-aware, but not truly celiac-friendly, likely due to cross-contamination. Additionally, there was no kids' menu, so I’m guessing it’s not intended to be a family-friendly environment. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, which I appreciated.
