Sōl /a st pete bistrō/ stands out for celiac diners thanks to its founder and chef—who has celiac disease herself—shaping every safety protocol and menu detail with lived experience. This is a true 100% gluten-free kitchen: no gluten is allowed on the premises, staff are trained for cross-contact vigilance, and most dishes are made from scratch using fresh, local ingredients. For bread items, they’re transparent about sourcing both from a certified gluten-free bakery and from a family bakery with a dedicated GF section (though the latter operates in a facility that also processes wheat), and they offer 'celiac-safe' options where needed—just ask your server for the safest picks. While a handful of reviewers with extreme sensitivities reported issues (mainly linked to bread choices), the overwhelming majority of celiacs rave about the trust they feel here, along with the vibrant, nostalgic comfort food. If you crave peace of mind while savoring lasagna, onion rings, or even French onion soup out on the town, this spot will feel like a breath of fresh air—but if you react to even bakery-level cross-contact, be sure to clarify your needs when you order.
