Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Newport

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.

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!

Sheree Varner

Had the gluten free French toast. It was hands down one of the best I’ve had. Great vibe there. Everyone loved their dishes. Highly recommend. If we are ever back we will return

Separate gluten free menu

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

Tara Ducharme

The lobster nachos are outstanding!!

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

Chad Wetmore

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

Kristin Hanfman

Food was amazing! Great gf options and really appreciated that they understood the severity of Celiac's. Service was great as well! Thanks Monika for making our dinner so great!

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.

Ryan McCusker

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

Lisa Mayberry

Everything was good except for the grilled octopus which I sent back because you couldn't even chew it. Second time was better but still just ok. But the standout here was the gluten-free lamb poutine, everyone loved that!

M

This place is pretty good and have gluten free bread. It would be nice if they had some gluten free or vegan pastries offered too. Unfortunately I notice gluten free pastries are lacking in Newport so I'm not super surprised.

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!

Charles Garbarino

My goal is to find the best clam or seafood chowder. The thicker, the better. I was excited to see it was gluten-free, which tells me that it is not thickened with flour. It was pretty thin. The flavor was good, but I'm picky. The rest of the food was pretty good. Fish tacos, tuna BLT and gluten-free flat bread were very tasty.

Katarina Ferrucci

According to my partner this is some of the best GF pizza in the area, just make sure you specify that it’s NOT a preference. But we love a date night here because I can get very glutenous pizza and he can get very gluten free pizza and there’s no issue.

Lucy Kinsley

We always enjoy our time together at the 99 restaurant. The staff is great, the food is awesome and the 99 offers the most extensive list of gluten sensitive options of any local eateries.

Kathryn Sheehan

We came in without a reservation on a Sunday, the place had plenty of empty seats. So I was surprised that the host said we could only sit at the bar if we could be done by 7:15 (which was just over an hour from when we arrived). We took the table, all was good. The menu is small but mighty. And as a celiac, boy oh boy did I rejoice when they told me the chips were gluten free. Actually gluten free. No gluten goes into the fryer! The nachos were truly exceptional. My tacos were great, I think the steak taco was my favorite but maybe the pork. My fiance loved his bowl, but it was spicier than expected (not a problem, except that we needed more water at the table 😂). Overall, we had a great time. I have every expectation that we'll be back. I'm excited to get a cocktail next time!

NICKY PROBERT

Lots of gluten free options

Joseph M.

Lauren was our server and literally the best. My friend had a gluten allergy and Lauren literally went thru the menu to reassure my friend of the dishes without gluten. The staff seemed very attentive throughout the whole dining experience too. One of my family members has a gluten allergy so I've had gluten free pasta before but this was really great and the bechamel sauce hit the spot. They even had a gluten free cake that we tried and it was incredible. It didn't fall apart or crumble which was surprising. Last time I went, I got the carbonara which was incredible. This time, I switched it up and I got the bologanese, these people don't miss at all. Solid wine prices with the classic italian reds and good variety on the drink menu. They even an interesting mocktail menu that you can add booze if you want to make it a cocktail. This place is so much more than just another italian restaurant.

Amanda Sutter

Delicious and super filling for completely plant based. Had to take some of my salad to go. Great GF options in salads and bowls. Only the bread for sandwiches has gluten.

Patricia Adams

Great ambience, fun to have a drink or lunch and people watch! Great salads, burgers and barbecue. Gluten free options!

Sean Callan

A great room in an even better location. The noise from the bar never bothered any of us, we slept great every night. They breakfast was great and they were able to accommodate gluten free options for me as I have celiac. Thanks again for a great stay!

Anthony Tote

The gluten free pizza is amazing. My GF has VERY high expectations and is also Gluten Free. We came in here 12 mins before close and they made us the BEST GF puzza we have ever had !!

Amarbold Batzorig

I tried the gluten-free sweet potato tofu scramble wrap. It was okay. The tofu was seasoned, which is good, but the flavors in the wrap were conflicting. I think they could go all in on the seasoning and turn it into a delicious Indian or Thai style curry wrap. Otherwise, they could substitute tofu with Just Egg and make an American breakfast wrap. In its current state, the wrap is in flavor purgatory! The blood orange hibiscus tea was fine. I would steep it a little longer but that's a personal preference.

Delicious. Nothing is really gluten free so kind of a drag. Bought some great gifts. Beautifully wrapped. Free samples. Some is made there. Some comes the factory.

George Munson

Very nice atmosphere so a popular place. Reservations recommended on weekends. Excellent food prepared quickly. Gluten free pasta was excellent

jony rozon

They have gluten free pasta!

Wahlia Walker

Even though the staff had a wedding and we were a large group with a late reservation. We got the full experience. It was a cold windy day but the views were divine and we were made comfortable. Even got to take a few 📸. We also had a few dietary restrictions being wheat allergy/gluten free, pescatarian, dairy free, and kosher. The staff was very accommodating. Bobby was amazing! We were in awe of the service we received, and alone earns a full star. He recommended a drink that I want to give another shot in the future. And another all my friends will be drinking going forward. The swordfish was melt in your mouth . I experienced the softest mussels ive ever had. And the dessert was divine. I must know how they managed to get blue berries that aren’t sour. 100% need a reservation. Well worth it. I would recommend exploring more options to make all appetizers gluten free , it’s totally doable. Valet allowed us to carry on and enjoy the evening for a moment. Compliments to the bartender and other other employees.

Dustin Lawrence

I love Antonio's. I go as often as possible. Their by-the-slice options are fun and always changing. Also, very important for those needing gluten-free options. My wife has to do gluten-free, and I don't mind at all. Their gluten-free crust is the best I have had anywhere.

Laura McManus

My son has Celiac disease and he is able to eat here all the time. The food is excellent every time, and the staff is very friendly.

Gretchen Bennett

Guisto is definitely one of the best restaurants in Newport. They consistently have the best bar program I have found anywhere south of Boston and the food and service are also exceptional. There are also surprising (and terrific) gluten-free options, including the squid ink calamari. Gorgeous outdoor space in summer and cozy indoor in winter. Truly excellent bar staff.

Katarina Ferrucci

Yagi is extremely accommodating! You can sub for glass noodles and get most of the menu.

Ian the Hairy

Very tasty coffee. Gluten Friendly breakfast taco. Enjoyed the Rhody very much.

Angela O’Reilly

Great place. Small and pricey menu but very good food and accommodating!! Gluten free options! Annie our waitress was phenomenal!!

Jennifer Aldrich

We had the BEST lunch at The Grill on Sunday. Loretta was our server and she was outstanding! She was attentive, friendly, professional and hilarious. She made us feel like old friends and family of 41 N. My husband is celiac so menu choices can be tricky for him but Loretta made a perfect and delicious recommendation of the Chicken Paillard for him which he loved. I had the lobster roll which was Delish! She also made a cocktail recommendation for me which was literally the best cocktail I have ever had! I wish I could remember the name. -Gin, grapefruit Basil, lemon/lime, Long drink and pepper! Out of this world good! Thank you 41N and thank you Loretta!! We will be back.

Patricia Adams

Great breakfast! Accommodated my gluten free diet very well. Lovely atmosphere, friendly service and generous portions.

Dana Berwick

Just a cool setup. Several good restaurants and shops. I can recommend 22 Bowen and the Black Pearl. Both had several gluten free options. Call ahead if you want to go to The Landing as their hours are inconsistent and appear to differ between their website, the posted hours, and reality.

Mike Smith

So first and foremost the views are just incredible. We were there on a very sunny and quite warm day. We dined out on the terrace. It’s one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Take that all away and this place is still excellent. The service was exceptional in every way. The food was a very viable competition to the views. I had the burger and it was a top 5 ever for me. That and I had to have it with gluten free bread instead of a bun. Super juicy and perfectly cooked along with mushrooms, bacon, gruyère cheese, bibb lettuce, and a wonderful sweet onion-truffle aïoli. I had the baby arugula salad instead of the fries. Though my wife had those and they were super as well. She also had a big Caesar salad too. I highly highly recommend making this a stop during your time in Newport.

Thomas Wheeler

Best breakfast place in Newport. Gluten free? Yes. Homemade hot sauce? Yes. It’s the ****ing best

Rachel Stephens

Somehow my husband scored last minute dinner reservations to the oldest restaurant in the US! We ended up with 5:30 dinner reservations on 10/23/2021. Running since 1673, the White Horse Tavern exudes history. If these walls could talk! We were seated upstairs next to a beautiful open window overlooking the street. I kept looking out of the window thinking about how many hundreds of people throughout time gazed through this window. Because we made reservations ahead of time, staff was able to accommodate my Celiac gluten-free requirements. My husband and I ordered: Pork Belly with brussel sprouts - $14.00 Pork Osso Bucco- $36.00 1 Cup Rhode Island Clam Chowder - $7.00 Crispy Duck Breast - $38.00 Champagne Cocktail - $12.00 Orange Vanilla Creme Brulee -$9.00 French Press Coffee - $6.00 Subtotal - $122.00 State Tax - $8.54 Meal & Beverage Tax - $1.22 Total - $131.76 It's February 1, 2022 and I still remember how INCREDIBLE the brussel sprouts and champagne cocktail were. These were such a highlight and a must order. The Rhode Island Clam chowder in clear broth was something I'd never experienced before but it was gluten free so I decided to give it a try. There was nothing that special about it, but may be a good thing to try just to say you tried it. The one thing that really put a damper on the meal was the table in front of us. It was a table of 4 horrid women celebrating a birthday. They were talking 10x louder than everyone else, bad mouthing and gossiping about people they know who apparently have eating disorders and those people's relationship troubles. Other diners and I were exchanging glances because it was incredibly obnoxious and off-putting. I honestly wish that staff would have asked them to either keep it down or leave, as it really ruined the ambiance. Other than the rude women who acted like monsters, the dinner and service were nice. This is a must try restaurant for the history alone. Definitely get reservations as those who walked in and wanted to just go to the bar were turned away at the door.

I asked if any of the bowls could be made vegan and the server said they could all be made with rice noodles instead of ramen, confusing vegan with gluten free. She realized her mistake and told me the regular noodles were vegan, so I said that was fine as long as they weren’t made with egg. Later I discovered the restaurant’s website explicitly says the ramen is a “wheat-based egg noodle.” As a vegan of several years I should have known to do more research ahead of time, but in principle I don’t think that burden should fall to the customer. I was very disappointed and frustrated that the server wasn’t able to give accurate information about the food and didn’t take my dietary choice seriously enough to check with the kitchen about the ingredients. On top of that, the tomato and scallion ramen I ordered was described as chilled but arrived room temperature, and the scallion oil was not a drizzle over the top for seasoning as I expected, but a very unappealing pool of oil—at least a quarter-cup—at the bottom of the bowl. Other options on the menu may be very good and other servers may be more knowledgeable, but unfortunately I had a disappointing experience. I think there are better options in Newport—especially if you’re vegan.

This meal was refreshing to our palate and digestive system from eating heavy this whole trip. We are glad we stumbled onto this establishment. We ordered the hummus plate with veggies and my first time eating watermelon radish, now probably is my favorite veggie. Also my first time eating a wedge salad with a knife but worth it to have the best salad in a lifetime. Oh just to balance it all with a side of fries as I compared to Wingstop (sometimes not hot/fresh) cause that’s my standard of fresh hot good fires. Also not pictured is the Narragansett beer, is easily my favorite beer of all time due to being smooth that isn’t a lite beer, has the fullness of a beer and don’t taste the hopines of it. The service was 3.5 stars because we were the only ones when we placed our order and it took a minute to get our veggie plate…. but after that the other two came in a timely fashion. Service provided was welcoming the moment we walked in. Ambiance we had to imagine cause we were the only two until we had to leave but we imagined the full swing of this place of how lively it can be. **They have good plenty of gluten free options!

Tree Ferran

Came here every morning for breakfast on a work trip. Vanilla latte and gluten free breakfast sandwiches kept me going!

Stephanie Parker

I had chicken Bellevue with asparagus. Best dish I have eaten in a year. Wish we lived closer so I could eat this weekly. Sat in bar area. Good atmosphere! (I cannot eat gluten or shellfish)

Timothy Killilea

A Market is one of two in the New England region. One in Manchester, New Hampshire, and this one in Newport, Rhode Island. Markets like this one are the reason that larger organic markets find it hard to be successful. A Market successfully captures a lot of the organic market needs of an urban center that once rivaled the capital city of Rhode Island for economic dominance in the state. They have a customer rewards program that pays you back. Organic and natural products are abundant, carefully selected, and unique enough to sell on interest aline. Gluten-free options are available! Plus, the parking lot comes in handy during the winter! Check it out, it beats spending extra on a restaurant, and grabbing a meal for a beach picnic instead.

Ann H.

Staff super friendly, food exceptional. Fun creative menu and gluten free friendly! The gluten free wraps they use are delicious.

Kaela Moscariello

My husband and I went here last minute for dinner. Phenomenal clam chowder! Great if you have a gluten allergy! We enjoyed the clam chowder, burger, and the fisherman's platter. Everything was fresh and delicious. We would definitely reccomend coming here and I already can't wait for another bowl of clam chowder!!!
