I’ve spent days researching, reflecting, and making sure that this list truly captures some of my favorite places in the city that offer GF options (or are completely gluten-free). Celiacs beware (I can’t guarantee these are 100% GF kitchens), but stop by these places for some good food & experiences!

For the best completely GF menu of cozy Italian food.

Best Bakeries

Best Risotto

Risotteria Melotti

Lower East Side

For the perfect bowl of risotto for those cold winter evenings.

Best Chinese

About 

Andrew

I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and always knew that I wanted to live somewhere else and experience more than just suburbia. After going to school in Savannah, GA, I ended up in the last place I ever thought I would…New York. As an interior designer, history enthusiast, and avid (by no choice of my own) gluten-free eater, I’ve loved everything this city has to offer, including its incredible gluten-free restaurants and bakeries!
