Great experience and great food. My friend has celiac and they have GF options. The GF pasta was delicious and the server was very attentive to the need for GF.

BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had! I have been GF for 13 years and travel the country (full-time) and by far this one has the best crust I have ever had! Other GF options! A must stop if in NYC!

What a great place! 🫶🏻✨ 10/10 service, 10/10 gluten-free pizza, Argentinian owner. And everyone who works there treated us super well. We arrived when the kitchen was almost closing, and they still served us. The best of NY 💪🏻💫

We went for an early dinner on a Saturday night because they take reservations and had free Vaket parking (weekends only). Seated immediately but waited almost twenty minutes for the waitress to approach us. But she made up for that by getting the kitchen to make a special gluten free dish for my wife. She had chicken francese ..I had Veal Parmigiana. Both were excellent and large portions. The bill with drinks and appetizer was about $100. All in all we very much enjoyed our dinner and will be back…hopefully with a more attentive waitress.

The entire experience was amazing. We went for gluten free food and stayed for the atmosphere.

I highly recommend eating here. This place is simply delicious and they offer Gluten-free Baked Ziti. This food is SO very delicious and It's one to come back to over and over agai

They are SO accommodating, kind, and lovely. The original place I had booked for my birthday overbooked us and we were standing on the street with 30 people… they asked if we would like our own room and they can set it up for us. The servers stayed later to help (shout out to Iman and Pepe)! And made my birthday better than I could’ve ever asked for! The food was delicious (they were able to make nut free, dairy free, and gluten free dishes for us)the vibes were immaculate, and they had quick service! They knew I was hoping for singing and twirling around napkins, so that’s exactly what we did. The napkins kept coming out for us to twirl around and sing along! Pepe and victor sang beautiful Italian songs for us and they quite literally made this the best experience I could’ve ever asked for, especially so last minute being so accommodating for 30 people! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you all I can’t wait to be back!

The absolute best customer service and such delicious food! Many gluten free options as well! Anytime we come to Arthur Ave., we always eat at Antonio's!

Marta Mercader

Very charming location, but they don't have wifi, even so the service and food are spectacular. They have vegetarian and gluten-free options. I would definitely come back.

Maria Marcy

What a great place to have the best gluten-free pasta with unbelievable I will definitely be returning to this place

Great gluten free options and coffee. But definitely a little pricey compared to other cafes. Is self service . But overall great ambiance especially from outside hassle.

Ana QR

Gluten-free cannoli! The best I've ever had. It's worth waiting in line and paying $10 to have the opportunity to eat a delicious cannoli for the first time as a celiac.

Valarie Lewis

Lovely, historic bakery, with a super friendly staff. The gal at the counter was so patient to help me figure out if there was anything gluten free I could eat. I had a delicious pignoli and my fam was quite happy with their choices. Great little spot- I can see why they have been there so long.

Bill Bos

Went for lunch with 7 others and everybody said food was really good. They even had a gluten free rice pasta which I had.

Classic Italian-American food on the famous Arthur Ave. ~30 min wait on a Saturday night. I wasn’t expecting mind blowing food so the expectations were just right. The food was to be expected, just normal Italian food, with an emphasis on Italian American, along with a few twists on the menu (eg: cacio e pepe w/ artichoke hearts). The pizza tasted like a standard neopolitan pie, the puttanesca was okay, and the eggplant parmesan was quite good. The puttanesca was w/ gluten free noodles that were cooked well, but the sauce was just fine. The olives were definitely low quality canned black olives. I would say if the pasta dishes don’t look to appealing just get a pizza and call it a day. The interior definitely gives off Cheesecake Factory vibes so definitely more of a family group friendly place than a date night spot.

We recently purchased their gluten free and dairy free cupcakes to accommodate multiple guests dietary needs. They were AMAZING! We will definitely be back soon for future orders! Thank you!

Alan Masarsky

Great dine in options for gluten free meal. Most of the gluten free items are on the back of the menu. Chill atmosphere and very tasty dishes

I just had to give a shout out to Cerini. After a trip to Canada and a purchase of amazing gluten-free rigatoni I wanted to be able to have more of it for sure. I live in Pennsylvania and could not find it anywhere. It is the Rummo No. 51. I decided to search online and came across your store. Honestly, I was a little nervous ordering something from somewhere that I'd never been. But I read some reviews and decided to give you a shot. And boy did you come through! I should have posted the first time. Now that I have received my second order, that I tripled, I wanted to say that Cerini coffee and gifts is the bomb! Rigatoni was one of the things that I have missed the most having Celiac. Your delivery was so quick! I could not have asked for more. Add to it that you have several more gluten-free pasta selections for me to try. Next time we are in New York we will have to venture to the Bronx and come see you all in person. With gratitude, Tara.

Went with a group. We had a set menu. The food was amazing. The chef was very nice and he prepared a gluten free pizza for my special dietary needs. The waitress was rude. She yelled at me when I asked for a menu after the chef told me to pick a pizza. She said, "No menus for your group!" She was very annoyed when I asked for the starter without the bread it came on. I mean is it a big deal to bring 1 piece of mozzarella with bruschetta on a plate instead of bread? But it set her off. When she brought it it was excellent. Some people at the table were afraid to ask questions because of the rudeness. It became sort of comical. Food was served but we were made to feel so uncomfortable.

Kelli Cortese

Veronica was our server and she was so pleasant, kind and understanding. I just discovered a gluten allergy and was worried I couldn't eat anything but they have gluten free pasta and better yet, almond flour to bread the chicken! My favorite dish is the lemon chicken and I was able to get it. It was the best day ever! Great dinner and Veronica, wow, asked the right questions and didn't make me feel like I was a burden. Thank you for that!

Andy Graziano

Great food! Gluten free pizza was amazing and sandwiches were too!

Joe Sannella

Went on Friday for lunch with a buddy and my youngest son. Who doesn't love an old school Italian restaurant, this place screams family. When you eat here you are family. My son is Gluten Free and they were extremely accommodating, offered him multiple options to choice from. Fried Calamari was light and crispy the way it should be, one of the best I ever had. I had Veal Parm excellent, My buddy had the Swordfish special which he said was delicious and my son had GF spaghetti with Bolognese sauce. A glass of wine and it was the perfect lunch, I look forward to returning for Dinner, Don't miss out if your on the avenue shopping stop in for a home cooked meal like grandma used to make.

Miel Macchio

The gluten free pasta was incredible! Highly recommend the fettuccine alfredo!

Billy Swinson

Melissa Karp

Great atmosphere, beautiful space, and it was really lovely to have a gluten free pasta option. Broccoli rabe and sausage pasta was incredible and I may dream of the pistachio tartufo.

Jorge SDN

Nice small sushi venue which could accommodate for celiacs with gluten free soy sauce.

Mark Holzwanger

Been going to Roberto's for years and still great. Now I am gluten free I had gluten free pasta in the tin foil and was fantastic.

Crystal L

This was our first time at Pho Golden. My stepdaughter has celiac disease so we were looking for a good place to have a gluten free meal. Upon entering we were greeted and seated immediately. We had the shrimp spring rolls, one of the fried rice dishes, a bowl of pho and a spicy chicken pad Thai. Absolutely everything was incredibly delicious! The serving sizes are more than worth the price, I brought home over half of my pad Thai. I highly recommend!

Marlin Jenkins

First, my daughter has Celiac and the team was VERY accommodating. Fantastic fresh food, including gluten free bread; Fantastic service and patience; great experience. Will be my go to for Italian food in the future. Thank you Gennaro!!
