Top 48 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Rhode Island

Liz Purvis

We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

This was the best dining experience I have had in a long time. Since being diagnosed with Celiac, it is really hard to enjoy eating out without fear of “being glutened”. After reading tons of reviews and the allergy safety protocols on their website, we decided to give this place a shot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with nothing but assurance and the staff were so incredibly kind. There is a food safety coordinator certificate on the hostess stand that is also really impressive. On OpenTable you can say if you’re celebrating something at the time of your reservation, and while I have filled this out before, no restaurant has ever acknowledged it. I mentioned in my reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we walked in the Food Safety coordinator who I also think is the owner told us happy anniversary, followed by the woman who walked us to our table and our waitress. At the end of our meal we were gifted a surprise gluten free crème brûlée with a candle in it! It was just the most special night with the most incredible food. Everyone was so kind. I can’t sing their praises enough.

Separate gluten-free menu, many options, great procedures, bring gluten-free food out separately. A really fun atmosphere and a great dining experience.

Sophia La Pietra

We had a phenomenal time at the moorings! The food was impeccable, and the service by our server Allie and the manager on the floor tonight was fantastic. I have gluten and dairy allergies so finding places to eat that can accommodate both allergies can be pretty difficult – especially when you are looking for something as specific as a gluten and dairy free lobster roll. This was my first time to Rhode Island and I had my heart set on having a phenomenal lobster roll bit wasn’t sure of the feasibility…the mooring did not disappoint. We will 100% be back!

francesca marotta

Separate gluten free menu

Allie Bartlett

We had Toni, and if you want an amazing, relatable waitress that will go above and beyond for you every step of the way, REQUEST TONI. This is my go-to gluten free and allergen-safe restaurant. Did I mention that the ENTIRE MENU can be made gluten free? THANK YOU TONI AND 110 GRILL for the best birthday! We WILL be back and requesting TONI. <3

Dana Ryan

I had a lobster salad which was plentiful chunks of lobster and strawberries on greens and it was gluten-free. Tasty and worth the $15

Stephanie Sutherland

I have been to TwoTen Oyster Bar and Grill in South Kingstown, RI multiple times and have always enjoyed my experience. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view overlooking the water and ample outdoor seating. The food is mostly delicious, with fresh oysters and a fantastic crab dip that I highly recommend. They also have an extensive gluten free menu and even offer sushi. However, the service can be a bit hit or miss. During my last visit, there were very long wait times despite it not being crowded and being during the week. There was also conflicting information regarding happy hour ordering times, and our waitress messed up the billing and thought she lost my credit card after giving it to her. The lobster roll was a bit disappointing as it was supposed to be hot with butter but was room temp with no butter and a bit rubbery with a soggy bun. The under seasoned fries were also a letdown. Drinks took 45 mins to arrive and the ice in the cocktail was melted already upon arrival. Overall, I would still recommend TwoTen Oyster Bar and Grill for its beautiful atmosphere and mostly delicious food. It's a step above casual dining and perfect for a fun summer meal. Just be prepared for some drawbacks in terms of service and food quality. I wouldn't hesitate to return for another visit.

Tara Ducharme

The lobster nachos are outstanding!!

Wesley Hogan

Pretty good! We dined here at the end of the summer during an adventure around Newport. It was nice to sit outside for our meal. They are very accommodating for allergies, especially if you have Celiac disease like I do. Our steaks were tasty. However, I'm knocking off a star because my steak was a little overcooked and the staff were not the friendliest.

Kelly Simmons

I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.

Jeff Savarino

Best Indian food in Providence among a few other strong choices. Lots of gluten free options.

The RI Food Dude

Really impressed by Legal Seafoods. They should have a higher rating than 3.3 on Yelp for sure. I know they have a lot of locations which is I didn’t have the highest hopes coming in. The quality of the food was terrific and the service was excellent. Great portions as well. It started with the hot/fresh rolls when we sat down. We all split the calamari - original style- which was fried nicely. However, this was the only dish that had a disappointing portion size. For close to $20, I expected more pieces. I ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna ($41). It was cooked perfectly with nice flavor. However, my favorite part of the dish was the two sides I got with it. The curried vegetable medley was tasty, but the pad Thai style quinoa was out of this world! It had that typical pad Thai taste, and the amount given was super generous. My mom ordered the crispy fish sandwich ($19). They were extremely considerate allowing her to sub out fries and coleslaw for other sides which more expensive. The fish sandwich was delicious as I had a few bites, but it could’ve used more fish itself. I also had some of my Dad’s Anna’s Baked Haddock ($28.5). The piece was enormous. It must’ve taken up half of the plate and probably weigh a pound. The buttered crumb topping was delicious and the oven roasted broccoli was cooked very well. We finished with the chocolate pudding cake ($12). It was incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. The texture was unbelievable. The molten center was fantastic and I wanted another after I finished. And I can’t believe it was gluten free. We had an amazing waitress and she really knew how to do her job well. I think her name was Madison, she’s been working there over a year. It’s very clean inside with a chill atmosphere and a huge bar in the middle. Prices are on the higher side, but not too bad for a seafood centered restaurant.

Amelia Gleyzer

Omg I loved this restaurant so much! They are so accommodating because my mom and I couldn’t have gluten, rice, beans, or corn so they let us know what everything we thought about ordering had before we ordered it. The oysters are the BEST, and I had the king crab which was so good and so filling. My mom ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna which was also so good. Delicious food and great service 10/10. Many servers came over to check on us to see if everything was okay. There are a few places to sit: under the tent, sun room, bar, upstairs. Nice view from each seat but mostly the sun room. Definitely will be coming back when I’m in Rhode Island again.

Ryan McCusker

Great gluten free menu. Alex and Brian behind the bar were awesome. Food and drinks both were delicious

Danielle Harbour

Felicia was an outstanding waitress. She was very knowledgeable on gluten-free options. Very attentive with our table as well. She was honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. The food was excellent! Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. My husband loved the cod sandwich and calamari. The atmosphere has a great vibe and beautiful views. We will definitely be back.

Jeffrey Whittaker

Great food, plenty of gluten free options… staff very knowledgeable… but always ask is it gluten free anywhere you go

Tony Giannotti

Went here for dinner this past week and it was amazing! I was craving ramen and my cousin said she knew a place and this is where we ended up. We went on a Thursday night around 6:30 and were sat immediately as we (three of us total) walked through the door which was awesome! Atmosphere: It is a very cozy environment, which I think was perfect. It definitely gave date night, or out with your friends vibes. It is pretty dim lighting which is great, especially for those who get overstimulated with bright overhead light. It was not loud at all and was easy to have conversation at our table. Service: Our server was really kind! I don't remember their name, but they had darker hair, with glasses and was super sweet and attentive the entire night! Food: I ordered the miso ramen, and my cousins ordered the veggie and chicken ramens. All of us were obsessed with how good it was. There is a large variety on the menu and something for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Favorite part of the ramen was the egg, which I know sounds odd to point out but they're SOOOOOOO good. Overall, I can't wait to go back and bring my friends visiting from out of town!

Heather Gillbanks

Went there last night with my team. Our waitress was quite good and they were able to accommodate a couple of special dietary requests (vegetarian and celiac). Great food and decent prices given the quality.

Janet Houle

Atmosphere was absurdly gorgeous 😍. Loved every minute of it! We sat outside and by one of the fires 🔥! The best of both worlds. They do alot for gluten free people.

Elena Rogers

Such a great lobster roll! I got mine warm on a gluten-free bun. It was a super nice surprise they had an gluten free option!

Jon Oliver

We had a great experience at the bar. The bartender was excellent and the food and wine were amazing. It's worth mentioning that they now offer gluten-free pasta.

Kate Silvia

Worst restaurant experience ever! Do not go here! I have celiac and I ordered a meal off the item that was shown as gluten free on the menu after I told the waitress that I was gluten free, and it turns out that it wasn’t! I ate some of the meal, and something didn’t seem right to me. I asked the waitress (who finally came back after at least 20 mins, and there was only one other table seated in the entire restaurant) to verify if it was indeed gluten free, she said that she “thinks” it is. She went back to the kitchen to check and then a gentleman came out (assuming the manager?) and informed me that it was not made as gluten free. He said the menu has it listed that way because it can be made gluten free upon request. That is NOT how it is written on the menu, PLUS I did inform her when ordering the food that I cannot have anything with gluten. I was beyond livid. They did not even offer to comp my meal and I was sick to my stomach after eating the small portion of my meal. Fix your menu!!!!!

On September 1, 2024 we hosted a Celebration of Life at The Beach House for an amazing friend who passed away. She wanted a "party" on the water and didn't want everyone to be sad and crying. Even though it was a difficult event, the manager, Eric, was outstanding in helping us plan and implement a perfect day for all of us to be together, share memories and remember our friend. Eric planned for us to have two rooms, including the indoor bar, where people could be together to share stories, hug each other and enjoy some delicious food and beverages. Eric helped us plan finger foods and went out of his way to make to be sure we had gluten free options. He was very accommodating in letting us choose what would work best for our people. The food was served in both rooms and there was plenty of variety: shrimp, meatballs, flatbread pizzas, chicken, burger sliders, chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Everyone loved the food and commented on how delicious everything was. We were also allowed to pack up any food that was served and not eaten to take home with us. The service was top notch, we had two fabulous servers and two wonderful bartenders who were very kind, caring and respectful the entire time we were there. Eric was more than attentive to us and helped us set up a monitor for a slide show and videos. He helped us move table and chairs to meet our needs. We would highly recommend this restaurant for any event and/or dinner out. The setting is beautiful and the staff is amazing. Thank you Eric, the servers and the bartenders for making this event successful and for being so kind and considerate.

My wife has to eat gluten free, so as I sometimes have a few bites of her food to polish it off, I get to taste a lot of GF vs normal crusts. This is, to date, the closest I have ever tasted to the two being the same out of a pizzeria. Not to mention the incredible taste without feeling like a ton of bricks after. If you’re on Block Island and like pizza, give this a shot.

Nicole Sprow

Great little spot, I got both of the oyster shooters; I enjoyed the Bloody Mary one more than the Mexican. They're raw oysters were so fresh and flavorful. They were very clean, not gritty or briny. Updating my review with some photos. We went hard on the APPY HOUR deals. I forgot to snap pictures of the oysters...again! I was just enjoying them too much. I got the diver scallops done Oscar's style, which they altered to fit my gluten free diet. My husband got the Shrimp Cocktail and Lobster Bisque, the Bisque needed more sherry and they could be a little more generous with the Lobster. All he got was that tiny little bit in the photo. Shrimp Cocktail is not worth it.

Tim Moore

Servers know the dishes well, our girl gave a great description of the specials, and our meals were all excellent. The price is very fair for the quality of the food. We got lucky and ended our night with live music. Very welcoming to kids as well. Gluten free was available

Shondelle p

Was a nice restaurant and they did have several gluten free options available. The gluten free pasta tastes amazing. I would have given 5 stars but when I ordered my meal it had an option to add shrimp for an additional charge. The waitress informed me it was an additional 14.99 to add shrimp to a $12.95 meal which I thought was very ridiculous seeing as I could just order another entire meal for the price of 5-6 PCs of shrimp.

Patricia Adams

Great atmosphere, outdoor dining available. Food and drink are good. There are gluten free options including rolls. Music too!

JP Masella

The ultimate buffet (check); farm animals (check); corn hole (check); water views (check); hammocks (check); outdoor bars (check); a gift shop (check)....great friends (check)...Pampered in luxury (check). The food is luxurious, but the Nordic is so much more. About 40 of my closest friends rented a bus and trekked about 1 hr. 17 minutes. The pastoral land and wooded areas you pass through is gorgeous. Our driver wound down very narrow lanes. We emerge at the Nordic. The entrance has two brazen pillars on either side. It is still kind of called the Lodge...guess they dropped it because people thought the Nordic had sleeping accomendation...I mean yes people it is amazing, but you don't have to go home, you just cannot stay there (after 2 hours of bliss). I got to wander the grounds before we were seated. I went to look at the Alpacas, sheep, a horse, donkey, and other animals. There were a number of tour busses. I used a restroom near the water. The cleaning crew were coming in as I was leaving. The bathroom was clean, lots of hand towels, and liquid soap. It was a little blustery out. Sitting on the actual water must be amazing on a less windy day. A volleyball net is set up. There is a pavilion and a fire pit in this area of the property. After having a drink from the outdoor bar, I sat on one of the many Adirondack chairs. The Nordic had flavored water around the area... It was not too long before my group was called in. We were greeted by Michael from the front of the house. He quickly got us seated. Really great conversationalist and you can tell Michael takes pride in his job as does his staff. Our server was Amanda. She was just bubbly and really took care of us. Amanda made suggestions about food, preferences, ways to approach the buffet, replaced drinks, clear plates, gave wet wipe towelettes, and was there when we needed, but never hovered. Soft drinks came with your meal. Bar drinks/cocktails extra, but reasonably priced. My friends had an expresso martini at $12. Another friend had a Ulta for $6. I saw cocktails for $10. Check out the placemats for information. So the food. I started with dessert. That was my game plan. I had an orangsicle made with vanilla Hagan Daas and Fanta. Then on a plate; I had dragon fruit, a maroon, lychee fruit, Turkish delight, coconut dulce Leche cake, triple chocolate, snickers cheesecake...Pro tip: ask for half slices. I ended up sampling a little bit of all the desserts. The Beligium Mousse cup was obscenely good. Lots of people talk about the food. I will tell you the lobster fritters and clam chowder were standouts. The clam chowder was creamy, chunks of potatoes and clam. Read the menu on online, there is something for everyone plus Gluten Free options. This place is so magical that we witnessed a proposal from another party. Congratulations Marvin and now fiance?!?! This shows you how special this place is to people. Really everywhere you turned customers were sociable. I stood in line with someone who talked to me about where they were visiting from. Just a really family style party atmosphere. I think it is important to know that even though your tip is included in the $145...It gets split among the whole staff. My table left a cash tip, which went directly to Amanda. Amanda really did a super job. My soapbox about treating all wait staff similarly at other establishments. Tips thehard-workinging individuals who deal with us and make our time seamless (remember maid services too at hotels WHICH the Nordic is not a hotel)!! I came, I saw, did not try to conquer, but had a couple of plates, enjoyed my time!! What a really great experience! Naptime :)

Carolyn Stambaugh

We saw the reviews and were excited. Thought it would be a great place to stop for our last fish dinner in the area. The staff was pleasant. My husband ordered the NE clam chowder, the taste was nice but there were tons of potatoes and not a single clam in it. We both ordered the seafood scampi. Regarding the seafood, there was plenty. The scallops and clams were cooked well, the shrimp was very over cooked. His dish came with a great deal of pasta. I ordered gluten free pasta, had plenty. I was never told there was a $5.50 up charge for gluten free pasta. Come on, a pound of this brand pasta costs $2.50. I probably would have ordered it anyway but that is really ridiculous. So let’s talk about the scampi sauce. It was very heavy on olive oil, I didn’t taste any butter or lemon. Minimal garlic taste, as well. I really wanted to love this restaurant, unfortunately I was very disappointed. Their reviews are generally very good. It was a Wednesday so perhaps we caught a bad day and inexperienced staff. Honestly though, I would not return. They got a 3/5. I would have given them less except the waitstaff was lovely and attentive.

Denise Leach

First time dining here, loved everything! Wonderful gluten free options, service was great, and food was delicious!

Carlos Vieira

Great local place for seafood...fish and chips wrap was great. They have gluten free chowders and bread. Nice location right on the water.

Iliana LeBeeau

It’s a small cute restaurant in Bristol and I was delighted on how flavorful the food was. The food is mostly gluten free friendly without sacrificing any of its flavor. I am so happy that I got to try this little Gem of a restaurant.

Monica Delaporta

Our go to place in Newport! Great deck overlooking the marina. Gluten free rolls to go with your lobster roll. Fast service. Nice bar.

Lisa V

Amazing staff, bartender was amazing wait staff was amazing all orders were right on spot even when we requested dairy free/gluten free for our dinner. Iris is amazing!!

Tara Ducharme

If you are looking for the best place to get seafood then I can’t recommend Jimmy’s enough! They now have 2 gluten free fryers and can do fish and scallops and clams. Their French fries are done in the gluten free fryer as well. However, if you like lobster 🦞 their lazy man lobster is the best I’ve ever had.

Marissa Heroux

I wish I could partially recommend a place. I am not one to leave bad reviews however the ignorance we received on 7/27 is beyond unacceptable. Our server was very clearly on the lackadaisical side. Normally, no worries, however when you have someone with celiac disease you are always cautious. The server assured us the menu offered “so many gluten free options and not to worry” so we ordered asking multiple times if particular items could be made gluten free. She said yes and put in our order. Our food was dropped by Patrick who I then asked for reassurance if both dishes we asked to be GF were in fact gluten free because I wasn’t a fan of the server’s lackadaisical personality. He went back to Chef Cara and a taller man behind the line and double checked. The pork chop was in fact NOT gluten free nor was it even marked on the ticket to be made gluten free. A mistake like this would have sent my brother to the hospital and killed someone like my mom who is an extreme celiac. While the meals we ate were yummy and we are EXTREMELY thankful for people like Patrick and Cara. The server we had should absolutely not be working in the industry if they can’t take a gluten allergy seriously or even bother learning a menu.

Kate Duggan

Just had some gluten free Blount clam chowder I purchased at the grocery store. So delicious! I highly recommend it.

David McIntyre

Amazing appetizers. The gluten free lava cake was awesome. The signature drinks were really good. The addition of live music was an added bonus to create a great atmosphere on the water. A+ great all around.

Dominique Lala

So many delicious gluten free options. They even have fish & chips

Jane Johnson Wall

Charlotte brought her A-game and offered a full breakdown of what options were gluten free! She had done her homework, and made ordering a breeze!

Yadira Sánchez Vega

Went to Johnny’s on our first night in Middleton. The restaurant was almost empty and we were seated promptly. I am just starting my gluten-free journey (as recommended by my doctor) and asked about gluten-free options. The waitresses response was to let her know what to remove from the dish and she’d let the chef know. Not at all confidence inspiring but due to the late hour (9pm) and just starting my new diet, we decided to dine there regardless. The food was relatively inexpensive and delicious. My husband enjoyed scallops and risotto. I had the filet prepared medium. They did a great job of cooking to the correct temperature and everything was great except for the gravy the poured over the steak (completely unnecessary). Service was meh. The waitress went between overly friendly to ignoring us at times. Overall, it was a good meal, in a pretty nice place.

Angela Downey

Fish is always super fresh! So excited they have gluten free crab cakes, tried them yesterday- they were excellent.

Timothy Killilea

Pizzico Ristorante is a ritzy neighborhood joint where you might find a few Hope Street notables sipping on wine and dining on happy hour buck-a-shuck. The menu is two to three dollar signs: $$-$$$. But the food options are creative, with highly visible "gluten-free options" on the menu. While sipping on some of the excellent selection of liquors, I overheard a very knowledgeable bartender talk about wine and it's eccentricities with some bar patrons. It's a very cool place, I recommend ending your weekday there, or starting your weekend evening before you start your adventures.

Thomas John Cadrin

Went here for an easy but delicious birthday dinner. No dish was a miss and the oysters were super fresh! The clam chowder was especially light and flavorful AND gluten free

Maura Sullivan

WRITTEN FOR A FRIEND: VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! Let me start by saying I have eaten here in the past without any issues. However, this past weekend we went out to celebrate my son's graduation, who happens to have a SEVERE Gluten allergy. I called to make a reservation and checked that they had a true Gluten-free menu and they ensured that they did. We arrived and placed our appetizer order, again ensuring that the waitress and chef knew of his food allergy. When they arrived at the table the Portuguese muscles had large pieces of bread on the plate and the Ahi Tuna had chips on the plate.... As a result my son no longer TRUSTED any of the food that was going to be put in front of him and would not eat ANYTHING!! Being his mother, I could see he was very upset and no longer enjoying HIS day of celebration. I went to speak with the manager about the situation and was told ALL they would do is remake the plates. If you know someone with this SEVERE of an allergy, this was not enough to settle him and allow him to eat comfortably with the mistakes that were already made!! As a result we had to walk out without eating disrupting what should have been a pleasurable family night celebrating my son's accomplishment, now it has only made him more fearful of eating out!!!
