416 N Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, CA 95030, USA

Italian

Enoteca La Storia brings the heart of an Italian wine bar to Los Gatos, and for gluten-free diners, there's a glimmer of hope—staff are attentive and offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches and salumi plates. While not a dedicated gluten-free facility, it’s reassuring to hear that they maintain a separate space for gluten-free bread and that the team is knowledgeable and helpful when asked about celiac needs. That said, you’ll want to communicate your dietary restrictions clearly, as cross-contact in the kitchen remains a possibility. If you're comfortable with some risk and crave a glass of wine paired with warm, gluten-free bread, this spot offers a uniquely convivial atmosphere, but strict celiacs should proceed with caution.
