Best Gluten Free Italian in City

Papazzio is a breath of fresh air for celiacs craving classic Italian without the stress—here, the owner and his daughter both live with celiac disease, so every step feels personal and deeply informed. With their dedicated gluten-free facility and certified protocols (that certificate actually hangs on the wall!), you can finally enjoy fried calamari, pillowy ravioli, or even a cannoli without second-guessing your safety. Dishes are flagged at the table, staff is rigorously trained, and the kitchen uses separate equipment, so cross-contact worries can take a back seat for once. Sure, a few guests have had hiccups in communication, but in a world where trust is hard-won, Papazzio stands out as a rare haven where you can actually relax and savor your meal—imagine that!

Bloom Botanical Bistro makes a sincere effort to welcome gluten-free diners, offering a diverse menu with clearly marked GF options and even a dedicated fryer—music to the ears of anyone who’s ever missed out on crispy fries. The staff encourages guests to alert them to allergies, and feedback suggests the team takes celiac needs seriously, with several regular celiac diners reporting safe experiences. Still, it’s not a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so there’s always that little kernel of worry for the ultra-sensitive among us. If you’re craving variety (pasta, pancakes, fries, and more) and want a place that genuinely tries to accommodate, Bloom feels like a place where you can relax—just don’t let your guard down completely.

Barano’s approach to gluten-free dining is a breath of fresh air for celiac folks craving real Italian flavor—think handmade pastas and wood-fired pizzas, all available with a gluten-free twist. While this isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, the staff stands out for their hands-on knowledge and willingness to flag celiac orders, prepare GF items on separate trays, and walk guests through safe choices. You’ll find a menu with clear GF labeling and plenty of options, though you should always reiterate your needs—there have been rare but serious slip-ups. If you’re someone who’s missed out on vodka pizza or wants to savor pasta without fear (and you’re comfortable with some risk), Barano’s kitchen feels like a place that genuinely tries to get it right, even if it’s not perfect every time.
