Benjamin Hilborn

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten, and nothing else comes close.

Leslie Burby

I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.

This is the worst gluten free pizza I've ever had, and they charge an extra $7 dollars for it! If you want GF pizza go to Next Door pizza, they have the best in the area

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

Trevor

The have a gluten free Injera option. I think it is called “black” when served gluten-free. Based on the servers explanation, this seems to be the preferred method as it tears easier. I have never had Ethiopian food. I was really really impressed with the flavors. This restaurant has set the bar high. I would definitely come again if I am in the area!

Lillian Sherman-Godfrey

Extremely celiacs concious and attentive! There weren't any on menu soups that were gf vegetarian/pescatarian options, so the kitchen staff and manager David personalized a great soup I could eat. I think anyone with celiacs will feel very safe eating here, and especially reccomend for gluten free people that eat meat!

My very beautiful woman and i drove down to New Haven to try some pizza! We stopped in and sat at the bar. The place is super cool. You can watch the crew make the food. The staff displayed great kitchen skills and etiquette. I got the hanibel pizza, and it was fantastic. My wife got a gluten-free Margherita pizza. Unfortunately, the pizza crust was super inconsistent. She didn't eat more than 1 slice.

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

A MUST if you are gluten free. The gluten free calamari is amazing and the marinara dipping sauce for it is robust. I had the gluten free penne a la vodka cavatelli with salmon - 10/10. The texture of the pasta, the creaminess and rich taste of the sauce is exceptional. Will always be one of my FAVES!

Wendy Harnarine

Amazing gluten free pizza and incredible artisan pepperoni. Must have in New Haven

Nextdoor is the best! We love to go there anytime we go out to eat. They have a great menu for everyone; dairy-free, gluten-free options and NACHOS!!! Awesome staff, service and great environment; the ideal place to catch up with friends and family. Doug, the owner, is a wonderful guy; they hosted my 40th birthday party in the back room and everyone had an awesome time. We had pizza and wings all night and hung out at this great restaurant.

Winston Trope

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Shelley Lipman

Ordered pizza and salads to go. Everything was delicious including the gluten free pizza we ordered. Really good greek salad too.

We had Old World Pizza Truck cater a child's birthday party and to say they were a hit is an understatement. Giovanni, Matt, and Will were so friendly and fun! Service with a smile and accomidating of a surprise gluten free party goer. I hope we have occasion to hire these guys again. The price was more than reasonable considering everything you get. 10 stars!

This review is for the street level fast food restaurant storefront specializing in chicken nuggets. The gluten friendly chicken nuggets were excellent--little chunks of real chicken (not processed) cooked to a juicy light golden brown. The french fries were good. The little bags that the chicken and fries came in was foil lined, so I imagine that would be great for keeping take out orders warm on a chilly night. The staff who took my order at the counter were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere rating is a 3 because the tables were dirty and the seating area needed tidying up.

Jodi Cohen

Food was wonderful! Great flavors, many gluten free options, service excellent- attentive and warm and friendly. Waiter Lucas was terrific! Would have liked music to be a little lower, a bit loud for conversation.

Lilly Sellati

The people here are very good about knowing what's gluten friendly on their menu and what isn't. The only thing they will guarantee as gluten free is the burger without bun. However, I've eaten the shakes and fries many times and only gotten ill once, so you may do ok if you're only gluten intolerant rather than celiac. *update* They now have a gluten free bun, but I wouldn't bother with it. It costs more and quickly disintegrates into mush due to how greasy the burger patties are.

Tori Pisco

Margarita pitchers (GOOD margaritas) and table side guac, never fails! The shrimp tacos are phenomenal. All chips and tacos are corn tortillas / gluten free!

Hosanna Emily

Our entire family was so blessed by this pizza place during our visit in New Haven! Their pizza is delicious with great gluten-free options, and the service is very friendly and generous! We enjoyed the clean, outdoor seating (although they do have indoor as well), and it was good to see they deliver. Highly recommend! May the Lord bless you!

Lilly Sellati

All the crepes can be made gluten free since they use rice flour for the batter. Make certain to consult with an employee who knows which fillings are / are not gluten free since some are better informed than others. Most recently I had the gluten free Matcha Azuki Bean crepe (i.e. without custard, nuts, or pocky sticks), which tasted amazing! The chocolate gelato is also heavenly!

Heather Talledo

Friendly staff, delicious gluten free options, yummy food. Highly recommend!!!

Celine Dean

Rawa is a gem in Westville, New Haven neighborhood. The staff is always so kind and they have a great rotating selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their dishes (which have many options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian) have so much flavor and quality olive oil with the right amount of subtle spices. Our favorites are the baba ghanouj, the tabbouleh, and any of the biryani dishes. If you save room for dessert, the baklava is absolutely to die for.

Lilly Sellati

There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!

Ilana B

Stopped here on a road trip. Delicious food and plenty of options if you’re gluten-free!

Genevieve Dickson

Steve Smith

Just ate the gluten free The Stack which is grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, red tomato, spring salad mix and pesto-mayo dressing, and 5 stars all the way = delicious. Ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture! The only downside is that you need a fork to eat it as the bread crumbles… but for the taste and freshness of the ingredients = such a small price to pay for greatness.

Janet L

Excellent, inventive food and service that goes the extra mile with a pleasant modern ambience. Although the menu doesn’t specify, they offer a number of delicious gluten free choices— including desserts--and will make accommodations, such as providing gf crackers instead of bread. A lovely experience.

Elana Flecha

Beautiful establishment, attentive staff. Flavors of the meals are out of this world. I had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Will absolutely be back soon! Gluten free options. Greatly gifted chef. Drinks were SO tasty too! I got the tuna, got it as the chef recommended. My friend ordered the salmon. Was so good! Almond cake, get it if you can!

Mike Ap

Enjoyed lunch here with my husband yesterday Brazis decorate so nicely for Christmas. The meatballs were absolutely amazing!!! And their pizza was on point I can't remember having a better cheese pizza with grilled chicken in my life this place never disappoints. 1st time ever having pizza here I've always enjoyed there pasta selections. I was also impressed to see they offer whole wheat and gluten free 🍕 awesome!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 🦄🏳️‍🌈 friendly

Beatrice Paternoster

Excellent desserts, even gluten free, and very courteous.

Lilly Sellati

All the burgers can be made on a gluten free bun, which is very good quality. There is no dedicated gluten free frier, but I haven't had an issue eating the fries (I have gluten intolerance though, not celiac). There is also flourless chocolate cake! My favorite meal here is The Smoker burger on a gluten free bun with fries and a pineapple express.

Here’s a polished version of your Google review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful experience! From tasting the delicious food to immersing ourselves in the culture, everything was amazing. The owners and their family took great care of us, even with our large group! We tried several dishes from the menu, each one flavorful and authentic. A highlight of the visit was witnessing a beautiful coffee ceremony—such a special touch! I also appreciate that the restaurant offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making it accessible for everyone. Highly recommend this place for an incredible dining experience! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

Ally Lowell

I ordered the chicken and berria tacos told them I had a gluten allergy and went over everything I couldn’t have including cross-contamination. The tacos were really good and I didn’t get sick so overall really good experience!!

Lilly Sellati

The servers are generally very helpful in negotiating food allergies. There are at least 1-2 gluten free options each for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All the food I've tried here has been divine! My favorite meal here is stuffed grape leaves to start, vegetable moussaka, and baked milk custard for dessert!

Chris Fisch

We love the vegan/vegetarian deli inside this large and well-stocked health-food store. Turn left upon entering the store and find the deli with seating in a small alcove just past the cash registers. The hot-foods bar lists common allergens and sensitivity-causing ingredients, and there is a generous area of baked goods -- gluten-free and vegan too. This is a great place to enjoy a quick yet healthful meal at a reasonable price! Check their hours to avoid disappointment.

Used to be one of my favorite coffee stops in new haven :( Im not sure if its due to the opening of the second location or the switched focus to being a brunch spot but this place has seriously gone downhill. This location is either overpopulated or understaffed. constantly a line out the door and staff ushering you to the full service dining area. Much less vegan/gluten free baked goods on rotation than they used to have. The coffee has fantastic potential as it is made with different GIV beans (a local roaster) that have both great blends and single origins. however due to the franticness of the staff, syrups in lattes remain unstirred, turkish coffee is much weaker than before, teabags stay in when you order tea and often break in your togo cup, and the espresso the last few times i got it had a strong metallic taste. The prices have gone up a lot (as has everywhere) but are now more in line with a midclass brunch spot than a coffee shop who has snacks and breakfast options. unfortunately the food isnt on par with the price and youre better off going to bellas across the way. (theyll both have lines out the door) truly sad as staff used to be so welcoming and the atmosphere and decor and couches make you want to stay all day! Would only go back to purchase whole beans sadly

I went in without having looked them up before, and informed the server behind the counter about my celiac and if they had gluten free options. They did have gluten free options, almost all the icecream they were serving that day were gf, she said she could serve me safely. I wanted to know their cross-contact protocol and she got really rude/angry at me, almost yelling that she knew how to serve me as they have good allergen protocols and also serve people with severe nut allergy. So I kind of felt bullied into ordering without knowing what she was going to do, but decide to go for it as I could always give it away. They do have a good allergen protocol. Switched gloves, grabbed a new clean scoop, new container with ice cream that had not yet been touched. Also scoops were hugeeeeeee. I felt assured it was safe for me to eat and I didn’t feel sick. Chocolate flavor was yummy. Just too bad that they got so rude while I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get sick.

Ian Clark

Great place for lunch! We'll try dinner next time. Good choice for gluten free options.

Kendra Weatherell

Wonderful meal, friendly staff & gluten free options available. Coffee was amazing!

Casey Gallagher

Delicious gluten free gnocchi!

William White

This location was great. They took the time to deal with my celiac order. Food was amazing. Girlfriend loved the shake she got.

Erika McMinn

Best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had and with gluten free cones and toppings? Say no more! The place is not only beautiful and incredibly clean, but the customer service is absolutely fantastic.

Jenna La Fontaine

Gluten free options. Love the ribs. Expensive.

Amie Baker

Todd Garfinkel

Food was decent although very simple for the high price ($4.50 for gluten free toast) however, the staff attitude was poor with a sprinkle of elitism.

Lynne Vantassel

Lunch before dropping family member at train. Beautiful views. Food is excellent. Accommodated gluten free requests easily. Update: Visited again on 10/16/23. Some changes on the menu that were outstanding. Wish this place was closer. Our waiter was particularly great!
