1000/10! If I lived in Tucson, Renee’s would be seeing me ALOT. Lots of Gluten Free options and super yummy! If you’re in Tucson and need a romantic dinner spot this is the one, the vibe was literally perfect!

One of the best gluten free crusts I've ever tasted

We have been coming to Scordato's for years. We love their Italian food, and discovered this year they have excellent martinis too! Emily and Hannah make such good drinks, and they are reasonably priced. They are fun to chat with when we sit at the bar, along with Rose, who entertains us while she makes sure all the glassware is sparkling clean. We love their chicken parm it is the best we found in Tucson! They also have a great meatball dish, and have gluten-free pasta, which we really appreciate. Portions are BIG! Their salads are good, their appetizers are good, and it is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant with many different seating areas. We highly recommend Scordato's!!

We were a party of eight for Easter brunch, we ordered the tomato mozzarella drizzled in balsamic vinegar. The tomato was thin and appeared to have been overproduced from Saturday or even Friday a fresh basil leaf would have enlivened the presentation. We also ordered fried mozzarella. The breading was fresh and nicely fried, there was no flavor transfer indicating good fryer discipline. The gluten free mushrooms and cheese pizza enjoyed by my companions was well presented but not distinctive. The Tomato sauce used for the chicken parm and as a basis for the other tomato pasta dishes was flavorful. I noticed all of the pasta dishes were made with linguini. Unfortunately, the pasta appears to have been cooked long past al dente in bulk long ahead of service. NOT cooked to order. I’m not even sure the pasta was rinsed and chilled in ice water because the texture was so starchy because it may not have been cooked in enough water. It may not have been reheated in water but rather brought up to heat in some kind of green congealed creamy sauce with little distinct flavor of pesto no visible arugula or basil leaf entwined in a vibrant pasta pesto. The sunflower seeds were interesting but my northern Italian culinary training pesto is Pinole. When the dish was presented it appeared to have been molded in a bowl and turned onto plate guaranteed to hold its shape. The Service was friendly customer focused and very responsive. Outdoors under the veranda was perfect. Overall we enjoyed each others company

It pains me to write this review because I do really love the vegan fried rice here (one of the few gluten free and vegetarian options on the menu) but on NUMEROUS occasions (seriously four or five times now) we have either driven to the restaurant or ordered online only to be told they can't prepare our food because their burners are occupied. I understand that this is a small business, however, it's extremely frustrating to be refused service over and over again. I'm not sure if this is only an issue with the vegan fried rice dish or not, but if that is the case you shouldn't advertise vegan/gf food on your menu that you're unable or unprepared to make on a regular basis. It makes absolutely zero sense to advertise a dish on your menu and then turn your paying customers away....but that's just my personal opinion. For this reason my family and I will sadly no longer be spending our money at this establishment because we dont wish to have our time wasted repeatedly anymore :)

David Brownell

Nice selection of toppings you can load on top your pie, wife likes gluten free option.

Robin Stone

We love going to Sauce. They have gluten free pasta. If you like a little kick, try the spicy sausage pasta. If you prefer no heat, the cheesy chicken broccoli pasta is the bomb.

Teresa Ceci

This place sucks! This is the worst 50 dollars I ever spent and will not go back. Flavorless food, just awful. And the gluten free pizza tastes like crap. Costco gluten free pizza is 100x better. Do not eat here .

Seana Washburn

This place is the best dang Chinese food I’ve ever had, not only that. They can make gluten free on most their plates. And it taste just as good. Seriously, I could eat this every single night. Me and the hubby love it! We drive across town just to eat there. Lady who owns the place is super sweet also.

Steve Jain

Excellent Mexican cuisine...not just the regular dishes, tortilla stuffed chicken and shrimp poblano elegante enchiladas, plus more Guacamole made table side. One of the best micheladas I've had. Almost everything can be gluten free (except burritos) with corn tortillas. Service is friendly. Outdoor seating when it's seasonable.

Yolanda Madrigal

I don’t think I’ve ever had such an amazing and absolutely delicious experience at a bakery before. And I am definitely a pastry/bakery fan. Not only is absolutely everything you choose, beyond delicious but all of the people that work there are always so kind and welcoming. I didn’t even know that all of the pastries were vegan because I am not a vegan, they are absolute best pastries I’ve ever had. So many selections including savory and sweet and even gluten-free options. I come here way too much if that’s even possible. The menu changes from week to week and it keeps you coming back.

Meli Sandell

Very knowledgeable! They take it seriously when you say gluten free. Many options to choose from

Chris Spidle

Great meal- I had the red enchilada special and a mesquite latte. Make sure to hit the salsa bar. Service was fast and friendly. Tons of gluten free options.

Lavon Womack

We had four different meals and a dessert and all were fantastic and almost everything on the menu was gluten free. My wife cant have gluten so it was a great surprise that she could order almost anything on the menu instead of just a couple of things.

Rosana Cumberland

If you have a friend who is vegan or vegetarian, but you're not, definitely take them here. Excellent food. I tried a little bit of several dishes. I was impressed with all except the pickles, but I am not a pickle person anyway. I highly recommend the Peruvian Beef dish, the gluten free Mac and cheese, the broccoli side, and the falafel wrap.

Hilda O'Dell

Gluten-free pizza (Barro's pizza) and the gluten-free italian sandwich are delicious. Customer service needs improvement.

R AB

I have been frequenting this restaurant for years. The food is so good & capuchino is delightful. The employees are super always making sure you have everything & the employees who clear the table are on top it removing dirty dishes & refilling water. They have a delicious freshly baked bakery. I tried their gluten, dairy free cinnamon cake which was an absolute 10. Their gift shop is really great with unique & funny gifts.

Laura Boyle

Fresh, homemade curries with lots of veggies. Great options for gluten free and vegan. Wonderful service!!!

lisa reff-stowe

My family and I went to have a nice meal at dinner time on Sunday. First of all, we waited a very long time to get our order and order to the chef. I have to order a gluten-free meal. They were out of gluten-free noodles. Which was OK. I substituted it for spaghetti squash. My husband, he had a salad that was supposed to have bacon in it. There was no bacon in it. And a glass of wine is normally $18 but Sundays are happy hour ,so the glass of wine was $14. I knew all this . anyway I think it’s pretty pricey , I was disappointed . Unfortunately, we are not going to Zona 78 Italian restaurant!

R AB

I have mixed feelings. When we arrived the service was great & the waitress took an interest in our allergies (gluten, dairy). She told us about cross contamination & was so great. Two of us were served our sandwiches (which were very good) but our friend did not receive her salad. We ordered a cutlery board & it came 1/2 way through our meal but the hummus was covered in cheese. I had to send it back We finished our meal & our plates were cleared . A waitress (Shane) came with just a plate of gluten free bread. I explained that I sent hummus cutlery board back because it had cheese & decided to just cancel. However, I was charged for the hummus cutlery board even though it was never served. When I told her, she seemed upset, grabbed the receipt & said she would have it removed. Crazy experience. The guy who refilled our drink & cleared out table was super excellent.

Mike Strittmatter

So, a few weeks ago, I had put up a scathing review. I can honestly say they have gone above and beyond to fix the situation and won me back as a customer. My girlfriend is celiac (severe gluten sensitivity) and loves BJs because there are many choices just for her and loves the strawberry lemonade. Last night, we ordered via Door Dash for date night, and everything came hot and delicious. Cooked to perfection and 100% accuracy on the order. Thank you for taking such good care of us and expect us as regulars for a long time.

Erin Hamilton

Great tamales, great (welcoming, nice, helpful) service. Good vegetarian options, and clear markings for veg vs. vegan and gluten free. Sides are delicious too. Don’t forget some cinnamon crisps to go!

Anna Krieg

I love their gluten free pitas! So good!

Abby

Could eat only this for the rest of my life. Must visit! Lots of gluten free and vegan options.

Stephanie Doolin

I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s my favorite restaurant in Tucson! Not just the food but also the atmosphere and service. My father and I like to go and I always get the butter chicken and garlic naan. He always gets the shrimp tandoori. The vegetable pakora is great too. My father is gluten and dairy free and he has no issues eating there. The staff is knowledgeable about what items are gluten and dairy free and I have never had a bad experience. I also love that they will customize what level of heat you want in your dish.

Lauryn

Gluten free options are awesome. Love this place

Short & Sweet Comfy, art-filled café on 4th Ave, perfect for a bite, local vibes, and supporting the community. Brewing coffee and connection in Tucson’s heart. Longer Musings Café Maggie’s on 4th Ave is the kind of coffee shop that fits you like an old pair of denim—comfortable, worn-in, and ready for all the possibilities. Nestled just steps from the 4th Ave Streetcar and close to the University of Arizona, it’s got an effortless artsy vibe that just is what it’s meant to be—an authentic local spot. Inside, rotating local art fills the walls, community event flyers are tucked along the windows, and a mutual aid water station outside speaks to the café’s dedication to supporting neighbors. It’s the kind of space where chance meetings birth creative change, where ideas flow as easily as the coffee, and revolutionary conversations stoke impassioned visions for tomorrow. You’ll find me here on sunny afternoons with my favorite drink, an extra dirty hot chai latte- perfection! ☕️ 🥧 Their menu has something for everyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, have restrictions, or simply curious. Today I had the avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised to find they kept it simple and let the flavors speak for themselves! Not sure what to order? Just ask—the staff is as welcoming as the space itself. With seating inside and out, nearby metered parking, and convenient options to pay with cash, card, or tap, Café Maggie’s makes grabbing a coffee or meal here easy. And don’t miss the people-watching! Located near the University and in the heart of historic 4th Ave, it’s perfect for a quick escape, gathering with friends, or just being in the moment.

Sherry Raschella

Great food! Especially if you are gluten intolerant. But food is really good!

adrian ortiz

Celica friendly

Richard Tuckett

The quality of the food has definitely dropped, based on my experience there last night. The egg drop soup used to be rich and flavorful, last night it was thin and bland. The lettuce wraps are now served with ridiculously small lettuce leaves that you can’t make a wrap with, and the peanut sauce tasted like salad dressing. They have also eliminated many gluten free options, a reason I used to enjoy this restaurant. I’d no longer recommend it. The waitstaff were very good, too bad the food wasn’t.

Niles Schwartz

I've eaten their gluten free pizza many times and always enjoyed. This was the first time I did a delivery. The pizza was cold and stuck to the cardboard. Basically unedable. Lesson learned. Why they didn't have wax paper under the pizza is beyond me.

Michael Jesse

New Delhi Palace has great food options, even Vegan and Gluten Free. The naan was the size of an 8 inch pizza, so dig in. The Tikka Masala has the right amount of spices. I had mild this time, I’ll go hotter next time. I took home some Gulab Jamun.

Susan Orr

We try and find a vegan restaurant when we travel. This one is a must if you are in Tucson. Also can accommodate gluten free which is hard to find one with both!

scorned wizard

The manager, I believe his name is Matthew, has excellent customer service and an astounding work ethic for a guy his age. He is friendly and you can really tell that he cares about the quality of his work. All of these attributes are seen in the staff because of the leadership here; making this an enjoyable and friendly experience. Every time I come in I get a giant #13 done the mikes way on a gluten free bun and this establishment will clean everything and use new knives and such to prevent cross contaminations. I really appreciate the effort. 5 starts for this establishment!

Claudia Salas Lyman

Great Mexican restaurant! The staff is. Ery friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Great food, many options and good size portions. There is also keto friendly menu, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. I recommend it 💯

John Diet

Really enjoyed their house black bean burger and homemade fries. Vanilla gluten-free cupcake for dessert was awesome. The staff is super attentive and friendly ...very good vibe about the place. Purchased some deli meat from the refrigerated section and one of the staff gave us a sample of their homemade vegan roast beef. Look forward to trying that tonight.

Rachel Araiza

Great restaurant with lots of gluten free options and the tea was amazing!

Michael Pfirrman

We used to go here with our daughter when she lived in town, but hadn't been there again until recently. The manager, server, and food were good with the exception of the change in the Gluten Free bun recently to Against the Grain, which has dairy and is like a brick. Please change back to something that isn't so hard and doesn't have dairy in it!!

Nancy J. Farrier

I love Mian Sichuan. They have an excellent ramen that is gluten free and vegan. The flavor was excellent. The people are very nice. Will go back again.

Risa Khamsi

I come here every time I visit Tucson! Today the coconut chutney and black eyed peas were especially good. Delicious & fresh every time and the courtyard is beautiful. Love this place! All vegetarian with vegan and gluten free options.

Mark Rafter

A very large salad buffet with soups, muffins, pasta and potatoes etc. Even ice cream, pudding and fruits for desserts. There are also some gluten free options.

Gabriel Swiderski

Gabrielle Woodbury

We have been to Feast numerous times and will continue because: the menu is ever changing, the service is good, the owner is a kind, authentic human, the wine list is extensive, you can try out digestifs and you can go with your celiac husband, who is an incredible cook himself and trust the staff to protect him from cross contamination. Go there, eat slowly, savor the experience and be feasted!

Ryn Shane-Armstrong

They still got it! Like many a Tucsonan, I had occasioned Revolutionary Grounds in the before time when they were down on 4th Ave and nobody was afraid of a scratchy throat, but rumor had it they were pushed out by rent increases just before the pandemic and lost to the annals of history. So I was thrilled to learn from my momma that they had since moved into her neighborhood and were basically offering the same fare. I dropped by, ordered a delicious double cap and a gluten free choco bar, and was immediately transported to a better time when left/liberals weren't trying to rebrand Liz Cheney as a hero. Lol Anyway, the book shelves appear to have grown and the new space is generally inviting. The walls are adorned with art and quotes from the radical intelligentsia, and everything tastes great. They even have a couple corners for the kiddos, which is new, and outdoor seating for the sun and disease-conscious. I'm really glad these folks survived. I'll definitely go back. You should, too.

jerry sysourath

Was very suprised they have a gluten sensitive menu

Paul Brinton

Positive experience. I observed the training of a staff member on how to prepare my gluten-free meal, and they performed well.

Anna Rodriguez

My daughter and I have Celiacs disease, prior to arriving my husband called and asked all the questions regarding the sandwich. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. When we came in Ari helped us out and made our sandwich. She cleaned everything and cut fresh lettuce. She got all the toppings from the back and even had a special cutting board for us Celiacs!! She took all the precautionary measures to ensure we didn't get contamination of Gluten. At the end the sandwich was delicious and her service was amazing!! I highly recommend Jersey Mike's to all Celiacs. I'm beyond happy we have more options for us!! Thank you Ari for being so amazing!!

Kat Ellerd

Ordered pickup online. I put "gluten free substitution" for the pita bread and they gave me a few extra stuffed grape leaves, which was perfect! The food was awesome, plentiful and looked great too. Falafal was crispy and hummus was creamy 🤤

Joshua LaCroix

This place is a hidden gem. TLDR; Small business, husband and wife owned, high quality foods and ingredients, gluten and dairy free sorbet, delicious sandwiches. I just happened to stumble upon Revive on a Saturday when leaving the Starbucks in Basha. They do breakfast only on weekends and the scrambled egg bowls were absolutely amazing. The portion size was perfect for breakfast and the price was comparable to a fast food breakfast but with significantly healthier food options. We loved breakfast so came back for lunch, zi ordered the Tucson Turkey sandwich, another homerun. The sandwich tased fresh, it was a hearty sized sandwich, I only got the half and it filled me right up. We grabbed some in-house made protein balls they have in their cooler near the register and hit the road for the day. They were also a 10/10, absolutely delicious and were perfect travel snacks for an afternoon hike. We stopped back in for some sorbet that night, we were informed they just finished making a batch of home made coconut sorbet and they asked us to blind taste test it vs their purchased brand - both were delicious, but their home made had a significantly better coconut taste, so if you want to taste the flavor, go the home made route for sure! In a world where there are fast food and corporate restaurants everywhere, give your local businesses some support and stop by Revive, you will not regret it!
