Visiting Monterey for the weekend and was looking for a gluten-free cafe to grab some lunch. Ended up at Nece's GF and YUM! The ancient grain bread I chose for my sandwich was superb, the snickerdoodle cookie was just the right amount of sweet, and my dog got all the love while we were sitting outside on the patio. Definitely will return next time I'm in town. :)

The staff was extremely helpful; pulled out the ingredients list to verify my allergies. Delicious AND gluten free. You have to get the flight if you are dairy and gluten free; they had four flavors I could choose from, 4!!! So the flight it was and my husband got the waffle cone because we could have that too. Must get flavor….Bee’s Knees, top 3 ice cream flavors I have ever had. This will be a repeat everytime we come to Monterey

Only a block away from the Aquarium it was a great place to get our lunch. Get your hand stamped at the Aquarium so you can return and avoid the entrance line. Many premade sandwiches to choose from as well as make your own. The gluten free bread was great and the sandwich was wonderful. They are careful to prevent cross contamination so it is made in a different area of the shop. The time from order to sandwich was only 12 minutes.
The only seating is 3 tables for 2 outside on the sidewalk, but you can get your order to go and eat it back in the Aquarium cafeteria. We did get one of the tables and it was fun to people watch during lunch.

What a gluten free find. The waitress/cook/?owner knows gluten free and we had a delicious meal. I had their homemade smoked turkey lentil soup. My boyfriend had their smoked Tri-tip with grilled veggies and finished with bananas foster. So delicious that I ate to much. Love the unique funky atmosphere of 60’s albums on the wall. I would love to attend when they have live music but alas we are only here for a couple of days. However will return tomorrow for some of the other gluten free items on their menu like borscht.

I used to really love this place. I have celiac disease, and almost all of their items are gluten free. They’ve always been pretty willing to accommodate me, and I considered this one of my staple spots. Unfortunately, after many times eating there successfully, I was glutened and got super sick. When I tried to discuss this with them, they showed very little compassion and basically hung up on me. So disappointing.

We always enjoy our meals at MidiCi! Their meatball appetizer is super delish. They make some of the BEST gluten free pizza dough we’ve had and probably the best on the peninsula. I get the regular Neapolitan with the bbq chicken & mushroom truffle prosciutto and it’s perfect. The pizza size is nice too, good for sharing with two people or one hungry person (my hubby lol) the staff are very friendly and attentive. I want to come back for the tiramisu night next…

Reasonably priced option with ample parking in this otherwise expensive tourist town. Thank you to Danitza, our very friendly and attentive server, when we visited for dinner earlier this month. She kindly helped us with the gluten-free options (and drink specials). Yes, the food was very good and generous portions, but we most appreciated her personable service. Not far from the Monterey Bay Aquarium (hence the albatross picture).

If you are gluten free, I would not eat here despite the gf options. I ordered the gf pasta aglio e olio and my friend ordered the same dish regular (non-gf). My dish came out with about 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of food as hers. When we asked the waiter, he said that the chef does it all by weight and there was no mistake. For $30, it was an absolutely unacceptable amount of food. Even the server acknowledged it was a very small portion but there was nothing he or anyone could do other than for me to order more food at full cost. I make gf pasta at home, and it couldn’t have been more than a third of a box of pasta at most. They don’t upcharge for their gf pasta, but I would much rather a $5 or some upcharge and get a normal amount of food than be told I have to order another $30 dish to get a comparable amount of food as non-gluten free diners.

Premise 1. This is my first ever positive restaurant review. I do not have time to write reviews and only write one when I had a bad experience and want to warn fellow travelers. I loved this place so much that took extensive notes on the various dishes.
Premise 2. I have dined in many Michelin star(s) restaurants, in France, UK, Belgium, Italy, USA. I am Italian and lived in France and Belgium many years. I am not a food critic, but know good food and know fake. I still remember home made pasta and sauces my mother would make.
The above premised: this was one of the best ever dining experiences in many years. Food was perfectly cooked, the right combination of flavors and textures. Not too much salt and not overly thickened sauces. Just right. Perfect pasta, al dente - in the real sense of the word. The “LaPera” (Pear Salad) had just the right amount of sweet and fresh, with the candied pecans complementing the sweetness of the pears in an indulgence of fresh flavors. The Fettuccine al Pescatore (my choice), were perfect, the fresh fish not overly cooked - a difficult thing to do as cooks tend now to have the sauce with the fish prepared beforehand and when they “finish” it with the pasta it ends overcooking the fish. Hence you typically have more calamari which, because of its natural consistency, do not present this challenge. Not here, perfect mix of seafood and fresh fish. Delightful. The Tagliatelle alla Boscaiola (my son’s choice) were so good, fresh mushrooms and rich in flavor. What topped it all were the “Fiocchi al Gorgonzola” (my daughter’s choice) “out of this world” - the gorgonzola sauce (using I believe TOTL gorgonzola - otherwise it is typically overly salty) was en experience even just by itself. We later learned that the fiocchi were made by a local artisan in California. I did not know Maurizio, the owner, but got to know him through the evening, delightful and down to heart, and a real artist at heart. To my asking, he explained that he takes particular pride in choosing only first rate ingredients - I can only say that it shows in all of his creations. He was able to adapt for my wife, who has a gluten allergy, the dish she chose. Even her GF pasta (I know it is TOTL and the most expensive around - cannot say the brand to avoid advertising) was just perfect. In short: if I lived in Monterrey, this would be my go-to locanda - for a fancy dinner, to bring my friends, or just to remind me of perfectly made pasta!
Bravissimo Maurizio and Team - come to open an Osteria on the East Coast!
