Gluten-Free in Greenwich Village

Start with the fried calamari, the thing celiacs almost never get to order out, then the cacio e pepe or the gnocchi. Save room for the tiramisu, it's the dish people cross town for.

This was one of New York's first fully gluten-free Italian restaurants, and the whole kitchen still runs that way, so the fried and floured dishes that are a hard no everywhere else are all fair game. It's a small Village room that fills on weekends, so book ahead.

Build a bowl on the grass-fed beef bone broth, or just drink the broth straight in winter. The Golden Beet Salad is the sleeper, and the gluten-free croutons are made in house.

The whole kitchen runs on one rule the founders repeat like a mantra: no seed oils, no refined sugar, no gluten, ever. It's been the Village's bone-broth shop since 2016. One caveat worth knowing: it's gluten-free but not nut-free, since the dressings lean on cashews.

The Italian breads, the cornetti, and the biscotti, plus a slice of cake or a proper cannoli. This is real gluten-free Italian baking, not an afterthought.

The cafe and bakery arm of Senza Gluten is a 100% gluten-free Italian kitchen, so the whole counter is gluten-free. There's espresso and a sit-down brunch too. It sits a few blocks from the Senza Gluten restaurant on Sullivan Street.
