Top 31 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Downtown Tampa

Had a post Tampa Theater Star Wars pizza and their gluten free crust option were out of this world!! The best part about the experience was our server Emily! From the moment we walked in, she immediately greeted us with the biggest smile, told us to sit anywhere and she took such great care of us throughout the entire afternoon! We need more servers like her in downtown Tampa! Way to GO, Emily!! Keep up that high vibe and making everyone feel welcome! Give that young woman a raise!!

We had the parmigian clams were excellent. Oysters were small for the $, corn bread was good. I had scallops were fantastic, my friend had snapper which was also amazing. Food is excellent here. Our server was great. Make a reservation to get right I'm. They have a great menu for gluten free.

My experience here prior to becoming dairy free for medical reasons was excellent. In my most recent visit, I had this new dietary restriction and I found it very difficult to find anything I could eat. For example, I was told the only bread in the entire restaurant that wasn’t made with milk was a gluten free hamburger bun (that didn’t taste very good). Considering bread isn’t inherently made with milk, I found it a bit unreasonable they didn’t have another option. We love the atmosphere here but I would reconsider if you have dietary restrictions.

Many gluten free options, shrimp and grits was delicious! Chef very accommodating for GF, servers very helpful, friendly. Will come back!! Key Lime Margarita delicious!

I ordered their gluten-free New York style cheese pizza with pepperoni. It’s freaking amazing. If you’re in Tampa and you’re gluten-free, you gotta try this pizza. It’s worth it. Well done guys.

I have a Gluten Allergy and Meaghan made sure I was taken care of and let me know if all the various options that were available to me creating a pleasant experience, thank you Meaghan!

Really cool atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. Could have been a little spicier but otherwise incredible. Vegan and gluten free menus available

John Molloy

The gluten-free brownies were amazing, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Justin Rupp

Loved this place. I have Celiac and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about what was and was not gluten free. I was able to get the penne vodka and it was some of the best gluten free pasta I've ever had.

Rebecca Garcia

Amanda was the best and she gave us the best recommendation. She helped me with my gluten intolerance.

GREEEEEEEAAAAAAAT X-PERIENCE❣️❣️❣️ I have Celiac Disease & NEV-VAAAAAAA have any issues with myyyyyyy stomach from Cross Contamination❣️❣️❣️ Weeeeeee typically order every week at this location❣️❣️❣️

Kristi James

This place is amazing! I was really impressed with the staff and how friendly they were. They also have a gluten-free menu. I will definitely be coming back here often and I highly recommend it!

Samantha Wyatt

Loved the drinks and we had exceptional service. I do wish they had more gluten free and vegetarian options to choose from. The outdoor seating area is especially nice with great people watching.

My husband and I went to the Columbia Cafe for lunch for the first time. I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and found in our search for a restaurant that there are very few gluten free options. We chose the Columbia Cafe because their website indicated that they have a gluten free menu, which they did. Unfortunately, I was very ill after I ate so somewhere along the way there was some cross contamination. I always loved the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor and this review is not in any way bashing the restaurant. It is basically to let others know that if you have celiac you may want to pass.

Carrie

Really wish they would open a restaurant in Charleston, SC. Gluten free options and a large menu. The waitress was very hospitable even though they closed in 30 minutes.

Lindsay Cepriano

Amazing! Absolutely loved the chicken and rice bowl. I wish they had gluten free falafel. Hopefully soon. I ordered online and picked up in the store which I’m thankful since there was a very long line during lunch. The food is great!!!!!

Erika Stahl

Appreciate the gluten free options and dedication to preventing cross contamination.

We had a large family meal at this amazing restaurant after researching a unique dining experience and were not disappointed! There was live music, excellent food, and the best service! The staff made the experience fun by interacting with our group and taking great care of us. We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, as well. It was all around a great time and really made our family get together quite festive! I will plan to return to this restaurant on my next trip to Tampa. It would be worth it to eat at this restaurant alone. As a side note, it also had many meal items that were gluten free and it was so nice to have some very good options!!

Beautiful atmosphere with outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The wait staff was kind and attentive and the food was delicious. I’ve dined here recently for brunch and dinner and would go back for both. They have gluten free options clearly labeled on their menus, which I really appreciate.

Great ice cream! Guava is a favorite. Will be back. Here's some friendly suggestions for improvement: - It's nice that they ask if you want the waffle piece on your ice cream (for people avoiding gluten). However, when we said no, they still put it on seconds later. Perhaps they didn't hear us right or just went on autopilot haha! - Add GF labels to the ice cream flavors on the wall, not just next to the ice cream. This helps when you're in line. Also, add GF labels on the website. - Add a water fountain with cups like other Chill Bros locations.

Lindsay Cooney

The service was great very nice people. The Breakfast BLT was incredible, one of the best sandwiches I have had in a really long time. I was able to get it on gluten free bread as well which I am so grateful they have that option for people with allergies. Highly recommend this place!

Mandy

The atmosphere of this restaurant was amazing and our server was very friendly and helpful. She provided a list of gluten free options on the menu to include the crustacean appetizers, steaks, and vegetables. The steak was amazingly tender and flavorful! The grilled asparagus was so delicious with a nice crisp and slight charcoal hint. The others at my table loved the bread that was brought out. Its crisp and garlic aroma was mouthwatering!

Emily Moore

The ambiance was inviting with a touch of sophistication. The cuisine was exquisite, though an expanded selection of gluten-free alternatives, like bread, would be appreciated.

Hannah Sabus

Stratos was so sweet to let me know the rice has gluten to keep me safe. Fresh, quick food, with good flavor. Stopped on our way back to Orlando.

Curt Stowe

Drove here (20 minutes) because they claim gluten free service. They do not offer this, or at least the person helping us did not want to. Unfortunately he did not mention they would not clean anything to avoid contamination until after we payed. We asked for a refund which he said he could not do but his manager would the next day and call us.....fast forward 4 days later and still neither happened. We were forced to call our selves and repeat the everything to the manager to get refund which hopefully we get. This sucks, had to go another 20 minutes to another restaurant who did accommodate gluten free and will was excellent. Wanted to try this place but they do not offer the gluten free they used to.

Sydney O'Hare

we went here because they advertised gluten free sandwiches and my friend has a very serve gluten allergy. When we went to order we asked if the toaster could be wiped down before her sandwich went in and we were told that they couldn’t do that because they were “too busy” and that they couldn’t log in to the computer system to check if another item as gluten free because she was “running around”. It’s embarrassing to have someone care so little about someone’s gluten allergy. They also weren’t busy. Kindness goes a long ways and we weren’t shown that.

Dan Marciano

Amazing food! The black bean soup, lump crab guacamole, and Skirt Steak tacos were outstanding!! Eleni our server was probably one the nicest servers I’ve seen in a long time! I explained I was gluten free she went above and beyond to make everything 100% gluten free. I’ll definitely be back!

Lindsay Cepriano

The gluten free toast is really big! I’m used to tiny pieces of bread. So this was a nice surprise! I got avocado spread and marinated tomatoes and I will definitely be back! Yum!
