Top 28 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Somerville

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

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.

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

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.

i’d say a hidden gem but its not really hidden so just a gem. Cozy wine bar with delicious, inventive food. Dishes that are more than just wine bar snacks or tapas portion plates. The staff were very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. My husband is dairy free and there were plenty of options for him. The place was buzzing even at the early hour of 5:30. I only wish we had come sooner because we’ve been missing out on some tasty food and wine. The cocktail list was tempting and I love a good cocktail but I felt that I had to start with wine at a wine bar. Clearly Spoke is not “just a wine bar” though. Can’t wait to come back and try more if everything. I have now been back as often as I possibly can. I have brought my child who is vegetarian, my husband who eats no dairy, and my friend who has a severe gluten allergy and the staff from front of house to the kitchen have been extremely diligent in letting us know what items on the menu would be ok for each dietary restriction. They don’t just bring out pre-made alternate gf options they make crackers that are gluten-free in house to serve with the cheeses and dips. Much of the menu is already well rounded so that it fits in with people’s needs and the kitchen is careful to swap out the grill when needed for gluten allergies.

Re-opened like it was never gone! Happy to see them back with the same(if not very similar) menu. Outdoor patio, gluten free options, and a great staff. ⚠️Gluten free chicken nuggets!⚠️

So when I walked in the place was bustling. No one greeted me, which wasn't a great sign. I was all the way back near the cashing out stand before anyone said anything. They offered me a table in the louder busier room, but I declined for a table frequently sunned- two over from the bathroom- because there were fewer people in this room and the likelihood that anyone was going to choose the table next to the bathroom with all those other available was unlikely, so I would have a decent amount of peace and quiet for my meal, which was between 1-3. I ordered: 3 Stack Gluten Free Pancakes- Buttermilk 2 Eggs Lox on a Gluten Free English Muffin with cream cheese, capers, tomato, with a side of red onion Small Orange juice Real Maple Syrup (You have to ask for it and they charge extra.) So my food came out in a timely manner, but my drink first, and the OJ was good. Food first up: the lox with the eggs- which was a bit weird. I wanted my eggs with my pancakes, but it was my fault for not being specific. I had to also pay for and ask for an extra cream cheese because one was only enough for 1 side of the English muffin because it was big. I was also disappointed because the English muffin was not warm, though it looked edges had been toasted- nut not the middle. Weird. It was still tasty. I usually like something pickled more than capers with my lox, but the red onion added a nice touch in place of that. The pancakes came out and they stayed warm and were fluffy. They put whipped cream on the side that was a little sweet, but it is not my thing, so I was grateful it was on the side. She forgot my maple syrup, so I had to ask for that as well as extra napkins, because the one they give you with the knife and fork is never enough. The eggs were fine. At some point during my meal, I has something purposefully spilled on me and my table that was stinky. I sat with my back against the wall, but whatever this was got on my pants, and my phone which was on the table. It really stank. There is at least 4 feet of space between me and the table next to me, so there was no accident of a food spill- this was a foreign substance. I didn't and don't know any of the people who were present, so this was alarming. I don't know if they were staff or not, but they had on a black top, so they could have been. No one apologized, and I was really upset by this. I had to find sanitizing wipes to clean off my phone just touching the liquid. I had to wash my hands again after eating to get rid of the smell. While I enjoyed my food, there was no dill with the lox, or any other special seasoning. Lox is yummy and salty, so are the capers, but there wasn't that extra touch. I really enjoyed my pancakes, but the almost cold English muffins was not okay, and the lack of toasting made them a bit crumbly. As a gluten free woman, the pancakes were stellar, just be sure to be specific about any of your needs and be aware you will need to remind staff. Lox fine. I would say go, but make sure you are vocal and ask for any seasonings you want.

Excellent Glutenfree meals and fantatstic sercice and ambiente

Courtney Yotter

I loved this spot!! Such a great place to hang out with friends and eat great pizza. Drinks were also on point. I super appreciated that they had a gluten free option!

Denise Demaggio

Great food, large portions.Many gluten free options-celiac friendly.

Hannah Haslam

I ordered the Broadway bowl, and I was disappointed that the vegetables were basically raw, the cheddar cheese was sprinkled on top and not melted, and there was some sort of liquid at the bottom, not sure what that was. It was supposed to come with toast, and I asked for gluten-free toast, but they were out. The people I dined with were equally unimpressed with their meals. They charge $6 for a tiny glass of orange juice. It was $100 for four of us for breakfast before tip. For that much, I would expect something incredible. Would definitely not ever come back.

Alexandra Simas

Great food and interesting cocktails! Gluten-free fries!! Amazing brunch buffet with prime rib on Sundays. Dancing on Friday and Saturday nights!

jan brown

My food allergies are no eggs, gluten or dairy. This establishment met all those needs with no compromises! My tastebuds were happy with the freshness of each bite. They have shakes , bowls etc.

Katie

This place is fabulous! Great food, reasonable prices, and delicious cocktails. Also tons of options for folks with celiac/gluten free.

Steve Meisner

Server was very good, except she didn't know about Celiac. Steak wasn't done right and she got it corrected quickly. She was good on drink opinions. The host was not very engaging.

Kimberly M

The food was great, we tried so many things but somehow I only managed to take a picture of the deviled eggs. The fried rice and cochinita tacos were my favorites. I really appreciated their allergen marked menus, made ordering with Celiac a breeze.

Priscilla Zhang

They have gluten free waffles with no cross contamination, so that is what I get every time from here. Absolutely delicious food.

Kimberly M

French fries in an omelette?! Yes, please. This breakfast was the bomb, and the cocktails were equally as amazing. The menu doesn't label their GF options, but they do have a designated gluten free fryer and quite a few safe options for brunch. The lemon chicken wings were also SO GOOD. Really enjoyed the vibe here, hope to be back soon!

Juliet is the restaurant that helped me love the Boston area more. The food, the people, the fellow diners, are all outstanding. My partner is celiac and vegetarian and we are able to eat at Juliet with confidence every time (highly recommend the omelette!). But even if you are not hungry, it’s well worth stopping in for a drink (cocktails and wine menu are a dream come true!). If we lived closer, I’d be there every day.

My partner and I live right across the street from Mike and Patty’s and it’s become a bit of a staple in our house. When I’m not ordering sandwiches there, I’ll pick up their English muffins and house mayo to use at home. Service is always speedy and very friendly. While I still make regular stops there, my only wish is that they had more gluten free (celiac safe) options. My partner used to be able to dine there regularly until their menu changed to allow space for more fried foods and cross contaminants. She misses the hash browns so much! Overall, I’m a big fan and excited to see what else M&P’s has in store.

Madeline Parker

For people with food sensitives or celiac, I do not recommend going here. I was told conflicting food safety information about items on their menu. Their menu also doesn’t have proper food safety labels for gluten-free.

Dan Amirault

It was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza and I really enjoyed it. The staff accommodated food allergies and dietary restrictions well. Loved to see non-alcoholic and gluten free beer available too. Vegan cheese is available for the pizza. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other veg-friendly options they have.

Late-night cravings solved! This gluten-free Buffalo chicken pizza joint is a gem. Affordable, flavorful, and open late with delivery. Friendly service, reheats like a dream. A must-try for pizza lovers! Always get delivery. Never have been inside

Alexandra Giasson

The famous Mount Vernon Restaurant opened in 1935. I actually had Yorkshire pudding with the prime rib and a scrumptious baked potato. Wonderful menu and great staff. I cant eat gluten and this place had lots of options. We are from Canada and this restaurant was an amazing find for us. If you can...ask to sit in Michael's section. Fantastic server and lovely guy. Dont miss this gem in Somerville

Felicia Rodrigues

First time trying this! They have gluten-free options for the most part (pupusas and tacos). I ordered the 3 pupusas dish, 1 bean and chesse (plain, nothing special), 1 Birria and chesse (better in tacos I guess. Not that good) and 1 revueltas (OK flavor) It was very mediocre, nothing special honestly. You can go to east Boston for better pupusas or cristians in Somerville. 15 dollars isn't worth it. I'm sorry. Maybe come get the pupusas here for convenience of location. I wouldn't recommend. My husband order the chicken and fries. He said the fries had a nice crispy crunch but the portion was small over all rating is 4/10. The chicken wings a 1/10, no flavor and tasted freezer burned. Anywho! I like writing honest reviews to save people money and time. They may have other items that are better. We did take-out, the guy at the counter was super helpful and nice. 3 stars for the customer service!

Erica N

Such a great spot! The food is delicious and the staff is so hospitable. They have serval gluten free options and the servers are very knowledgeable

Elizabeth Carson

Been to the restaurant multiple times for dinner with friends. Great service and the food was delicious! My friend was gluten sensitive and the server was very attentive to her restrictions. I was recently here for a private event that was held outside in a tented area. The food was so so good, came out promptly, drinks were strong, and the service was fantastic! The breakfast flatbread was a surprising favorite! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is in the area looking to book a shower, or just a night out!

Jasmine Nears

Pretty decent food in a no frills place with friendly service. Definitely filling and not too hard on the pocket book. They also took my husband's gluten free request seriously and made sure to point out what was and what wasn't gluten free!
