Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Rochester

Maura Palumbo

Worth every damn cent you pay. Best pizza I ever had. Can’t even tell it’s gluten free (which is the one my hubby and I get) … NEVER once disappointed like every other restaurant there is!!!! We can always count on our money being well spent. Their emails are a bit strange and weird but I rather weird normal and boring anyday haha.

My husband and I have been coming here for brunch every weekend for a few years now. The food is always delicious and the staff is incredible! Lots of options for different dietary restrictions (one happy vegetarian/gluten free gal here- and celiac safe!) and we never leave disappointed. His favorite go-to meal is the mad hatter plate and I love the garden scramble and potatoes with the rabbits way hollandaise sauce. Highly recommend it here! No reservations so be prepared for a wait time but it is WORTH IT!

Kelly Bissinger

I love this place. It's been several years since they opened and the pizza is still as good as it was then. My go to pizza: white sauce, feta, mozzarella, spinach, chicken, artichoke, roasted tomatoes, with a basil herb after bake is so yummy. They even have gluten free pizza. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Korn

Wonderful service and great space! Our waiter was so nice and knowledgeable. Not to mention their house made Buffalo sauce is one of the most amazing flavors I have ever tasted. My husband has celiac and we were able to order a delicious gluten free meal. Their gf pizza crust is amazing! We will definitely be back over and over.

Tina Merrill

Amazing pasta! Gluten free options are just as delicious as non gluten free. Highly recommend!!

Jason Oliver

Always excellent food, and when asking for it to be gluten free, I've never had a gluten reaction eating here.

Anthony Quinn

Great place! Food is amazing and the staff is great. Really enjoy that they have vegan and gluten free options available.

Our favorite by far. 10+ visits Update - leaving my review made me crave this place but sadly they dropped the ball bad. We accidently ordered 40 minutes before closing thinking they were open until 9 instead of 8:30. That is the only excuse I can really think of but honestly there is no excuse to rush food and tarnish your reputation. The chana Masala wasn't even the same color and tasted as if it were missing an ingredient. The naan was floppy. Mixed tandoori grill was lightly grilled. When j asked for a gluten free sub for naan they gave me naan and charged me for a side of papadum. They managed to whip this out in 10 minutes flat and when I got there at 8:20 they were shutting lights off and barreling out the door.

My partner and I live in Rochester but travel everywhere, always looking for a new place to eat out at and Lento is just top tier for us; we always, always return to this gem. The rotating menu, farm to table, gluten free and dairy free options are what make this place so incredible. Every time we come here we get something different and we’ve always been over the moon with the service we’ve received. Hailey is incredible!! Above and beyond and such a joy to be served by her. We recommend this place to everyone. If you get dessert we HIGHLY recommend getting the pear ginger Riesling sorbet. It’s amazing, especially when paired with the Mandarin sorbet, we enjoyed sharing a scoop of each after our exquisite meal. Oh, and drinks are second to none.

Sarah Bogdan

They have a HUGE selection of fresh homemade bagels and flavors of cream cheese!! It was overwhelming trying to choose what to get! For $3.75 I got a toasted French toast bagel with raspberry jalapeño cream cheese. She agreed to put butter on it first and then cream cheese! my fav 😋 The bagel was fresh and slightly cinnamony, and the raspberry jalapeño cream cheese was delightfully sweet with a mild kick of an aftertaste. I didn’t get any menu pictures but oh boy I gotta go back to try the other flavors. Maple bacon?? Pumpkin? Salmon? Yes pls. They also have gluten free bagels and vegan cream cheese and pastries!

Nicholas Richmond

I have celiac disease(gluten free), the staff are very well versed with cross contamination and such, the food is so DELICIOUS, not to mention the bartender Andre is one of the best people I had the pleasure to talk with during our interaction. 100000% will be coming back regularly for the amazing atmosphere, food, and btw the drinks and shakes are top tier. If you don’t come here, your wrong.

Jim Carissimi

Excellent food I had the Swiss mushroom burger with fries and the gluten free buns are delicious! We will be back!

Dylan Lowe Keffer

Sydney was a joy to have as a server. 😍She even upgraded us right on the spot! We moved from some sad little 4 top, no offense but I could barely squeeze around it!! 🤣🤣🤣, to a LOVELY corner booth for our comfort!! She kept our fries COMING IN HOT!!! 🔥🔥🔥 We were having a fun little girls night out and she just made. it. BETTER! 🤩🤩🤩 She noted all our little allergies, gluten alert ‼️ 🚨🚨 All the food was delicious! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! 🤪🤪🤪 Thank you SO MUCH SYDNEY for a LOVELY night! 😍😍

Jacqueline Murray

Normally we enjoy a great meal but this particular experience was not good for a diner in our party with a gluten allergy. She ordered a meal that included gluten free pasta and when it came, the pasta was barely cooked, and it was returned to the kitchen. When it came back the pasta was cooked a bit more but still not cooked enough to enjoy. She ended up having to take it home and finish cooking the pasta herself.

jaime tulenko

Food is very good! My husband and I go there every Sunday for lunch. There never seems to be enough staff and the place is always busy! Most Sundays we order ahead and then eat there. I highly recommend the white pizza on the gluten free crust!

Ebonie Barr

Our FAVORITE BRUNCH PLACE IN ROCHESTER HANDS DOWN! I have a severe gluten allergy and they always accommodate even when the menu has changed . The servers are amazing!!!! Everytime!!! Food never misses!!!

Mary VanHorn

This dessert restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious crepes, waffles, ice cream, and gluten-free options. The service was friendly and attentive. Our server, Corina, was great! The atmosphere was whimsical and inviting.

Katie Gookin

Dinner was fantastic. We had a change of dinner plans for a group of 9, and they sat us in 15 minutes. The service was excellent; our waitress took such good care of us, and we got our food quickly. We also needed gluten-free options and were very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was in accommodating our needs. Highly recommend this place for both the service and the food quality! ---

Katie Guzzetta

I'd give them higher stars but today they changed their Mac and cheese from gluten free to gluten-rich without posting anything or sharing any information about it and now my celiac friend is super sick. They just made the switch, so if you're celiac or can't tolerate gluten, be warned !!!

Kennedy Sanders

Tapas 177 is such an incredible restaurant in every single way from food to drinks to service to the vibe. This review is about catering!! We worked with Chris Z who is an absolutely phenomenal person. Chris helped us pick out our menu and coordinated everything with us — all the way down to mentioning changes in texture from our usual restaurant experience to general effects of transport/time! Everything was delivered on time and set up perfectly. Even better, it was DELICIOUS and EVERYONE was extremely happy with the options!!! One thing Tapas 177 does exceptionally well is dietary restrictions. They’re very clear about risks with shared fryers but also take great care to label things. The variety on the menu allowed for us to cater gluten free and vegan without settling for things we weren’t interested in. Variety!!! So sorry to my future children but eating a mountain of Tapas 177 spring rolls with my wife on our wedding day is impossible to top. Thank y’all so much!!!!!

Sandra Godwin

This place is my ABSOLUTE favorite! The food and the vibe is wonderful. And Tammy who was our server, is a just the best!! Also, their gluten free pasta taste’s like real pasta!! Highly recommend!!!

Mr Mike

Good service. Helpful with celiac information.

Jillian Wolf

I'm so boring- I've been getting the exact same thing here for the past 5+ years lol. Gluten free pad thai w/ tofu (with sriracha on the side). Sooooo yummy :)

Marco Frasca

Great food, large menu with lots of gluten free options. Friendly service everytime!

Haley Evans

Great gluten free options. Knowledgeable about allergies.

Kathleen Leasure

My husband and I have visited twice and the service food, and drinks have been excellent both times. We were pleased to see gluten free options added to the menu and throughly enjoyed our visits. We will be back!

Mary Beth Brocht

Let me just say, if you need all the options for dietary needs, this is the spot. We used Cinellis to cater our grad party. We had guests begging to take food home with them it was so good. The gluten free chicken parm was to die for. Even non celiac guests ate it and loved it. They had plenty of vegan and gluten free options to choose from as well as all the other food we ordered. Carly was so helpful and informative in helping me decide how much food I needed to get. She was patient while I changed my mind multiple times, never once showing any signs of inconvenience. The food was ready when promised and everything was just perfect. If you are having an event, I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

Jasmine

It was awesome. The food was delicious and they didn't skimp on the portion size at at all. The menu was huge and they have lots of gluten free options. Our waitress was super nice. I would love to go again sometime.

John Tucker

My family and I went there today, we got the nacho extreme, the pretzel, french onion soup and the gluten free meal. Amazing is the only thing I could say !

Cynthia Love

This place has been on my local restaurants to try for awhile now. It did not disappoint. I went with a couple of my girlfriends, one of which is gluten free. This place was perfect because they have several gluten free and also vegan options for anyone looking for those dietary choices. I started off with the duck wings, which were so much larger than I expected, perfectly crunchy with a somewhat sweet sauce (reminded me of country sweet sauce) which really married the flavors. I chose to have the gnocchi with peas, large thick pieces of fresh pancetta, mushrooms, in a light cream sauce with parmigiana shavings. I needed to add some more seasoning and parmigiana, but ultimately it was good considering it was listed as gluten free. This place is worth a try. It is perfect to go with friends, a romantic dinner, or also great for double dates.

Theo Shaw

Phenomenal food. My friend I was dining with is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate his needs well. Our waitress clearly communicated what substitutions were available for each option, and what to expect. The cappuccinos are phenomenal, and the desserts are to die for.

SD Giles

Highly recommend! This hidden gem offers creative, delicious, and nourishing dishes. With some of our party’s gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan needs, the menu was perfect. Two Celiacs were in our group, and we could have everything except for one item on the menu (the pizza, which is cooked separately so there’s no risk of cross-contamination). Some favorites include the flourless chocolate cake, the risotto, the gnocchi, the chipotle curry sweet potato soup, and the chai. It’s all made from scratch in-house. Price is very reasonable, and the tapas-style menu and quaint atmosphere make it a cozy meal out. We will be back again! :)

Jacquie Kiever

Amazing and the staff is so friendly!!! Also the food was delicious!!! I have a gluten allergy and they advised me on what I could get and told the person that made the plate of my allergy as well. They had a gentleman walking around I think his name was Paul he was helping out today around the dining area and he was so friendly! He even brought us out an order of Freedom Fries! Ive had a lot off bbq in Rochester and this was the best ive had in awhile!

Genny Pachoud

I used to have the most amazing experiences here, never had any issues. However I went here for Valentine’s Day and my pasta definitely tasted like regular pasta (if you know, you know). I asked the waitress to check with the cook and since we were sitting right by the kitchen, we saw the chef get mad because they had just closed the kitchen and he didn’t want to make a new meal and said to “just tell her it’s gluten free”. I brought this up to management with no response, so I won’t be returning here sadly.

Tia DeVore

In town for a long weekend and found this place. I had a gluten free personal veggie pizza with dairy free cheese, and it was delicious. My husband ordered a burger and fries. The fries were crispy and so good. My kids got meatball subs and an order of cinnamon sticks. They had something for everyone, a great spot to have lunch.

Nathan Erbland

The wings were very good. The gluten free pizza was also delicious.

Karen Guinan

They were very accommodating for a specific order for my elderly parents. It all looked wonderful and tasted good too. My gluten free cookies were so good. Thank you so much!

Pam Wilbur

Love this place ❤️ Food always good. Many gluten free options including beer.

Emily Boyd

Great spot for your classic American greasy fare. Their garbage plates are top notch and I love that they offer white hots. Lots of great potato base options for gluten free people like myself!

Ariane Michaud

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I stopped here on our road trip, and were not disappointed. Also thrilled to find out they can make gluten free injera. There is definitely something for everyone here.

Monica Maselli

Brittany Jones

Very impressed with the amount of gluten free options and how knowledgeable and accommodating the staff was. Food was delicious and celiac safe. Will be back soon!

Kelley Petock

Great place for breakfast or lunch. I haven't had a bad meal yet. They have gluten free bread and almond and soy milk.

Shannon McIntosh

Fun breakfast place with great price and wide selection. They even have vegan and gluten free options!

S. Gerin

Consistently good!!! Creative sandwiches and good sides that come with them. Gluten free bread options! One of my staples for lunch.

Dani Unkrich

We stopped in today for lunch because they have gluten free rolls available. It was fantastic! The Vincenzo Panini, chicken with spicy soppressata, was delicious! The Cubano Panini was unique with capicola instead of ham. Mom loved it! Tom is a great host. We will be back.

C King

Tried this diner for the first time a few weeks ago for lunch. It’s clean bright spacious, has a huge menu it’s hard to decide what to get! Our food was delicious - BLT and a **gluten free** sandwich that my friend was soooo happy about! A lot of places don’t have gluten free bread or wraps or pancakes etc. I went another time with my mom for breakfast & we liked the French toast & scrambled eggs.

Robert Latragna

Another great meal last night. The fillet was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere is so inviting. Love the attentive service and the chef had no problem making our dish gluten free. With the wide selection at the bar and free valet service I place this restaurant as a true 5 star experience.

M.E. Scanandoah

Although I specifically ordered a clearly marked gluten free option I was served a dish with gluten in it. I have celiac disease and I spent several hours vomiting afterwards. I will never go there again. They clearly DO NOT understand what gluten free means.

Marie Jubert

We got our wedding cake from Caramel, and we're so happy we did! Caramel is a pleasure to work with, and we appreciated their timely communication and attention to detail. They also assisted us with identifying some vegan and gluten free desserts to help us accommodate all our guests. It's been a few months since the wedding, and our guests are still talking about how delicious the cake was!
