Gluten-Free Restaurants in Rochester, NY

“We purchased catering pans for Christmas. Bozza Pasta was able to accommodate a nut allergy. Anyone that deals with food allergies knows how hard that is to find. The food was delicious, nut free & safe, and warmed up perfectly. My guests loved everything we got. The Italian braised short ribs were a favorite. We will definitely be ordering from Bozza Pasta again!“

“Cheesy Eddie’s has the best desserts in Rochester by far. Their carrot cake is to die for and their cheesecakes come in so many delicious flavors. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and genuinely so nice. They are also incredibly careful with allergies, so I always feel safe enjoying their desserts. This place is a must if you love great desserts!“

“We love the Red Fern! The food is delicious and the baked goods are AMAZING. Our all-time-favorites are the hot chicken sandwich and every single cake they make, but everything else is great too. We also love their kombucha options.“

“The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and courteous!“

“I LOVE this place. Create a pizza is my all time favorite spot. I’ve been coming here for years and I recommend it to every person I come across. Especially those with dietary restrictions. The food is always delicious, there are always friendly smiles behind the counter, and the prices are pretty unbeatable. Hands down, best pizza joint in Rochester.“

“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍“

“This was our first time trying The Gate House and we were impressed! We came on a Thursday afternoon with no reservation and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and attentive immediately and continued through the duration of our meal. We tried the Xerox pizza as well as the Duffy burger and both were 10/10! Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend!“

“This love story began 20 years ago 😆 in the artsy Southwedge part of Rochester, NY!
It’s like it melts in your mouth, easily in the top 3 of all things cheesecake. I’m serious folks.
You have to try it, just go lay your eyes on it. Looking away is impossible, after just one bite you’re hooked…my mother seconds this❤️“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Spectacular Sushi, beautifully crafted, served exceptionally.“

“I don’t have a lot of experience with Ethiopian food but I’m about to be a regular. Everything I tried was delicious, it was cozy and peaceful and welcoming inside, and service was quick and friendly. I apologize to every lentil I’ve dismissed, I didn’t know they could taste like this.“

“We had a friend introduce us to this bakery a month ago as we we're searching for a good gluten free bakery to get some deserts for our daughter's graduation party. I stopped in a few days prior to the party and picked up a variety of items, their assorted mini cookie tray, a few of their frosted cookies and a variety box of cupcakes. All of our gluten free guests LOVED the options and devoured the sweets pretty quickly. My daughter's favorite is the Carrot Cake cupcake. We will definitely be making more visits, especially before our daughter leaves for college.“

“Love this place and find myself there a few times per month. The food never disappoints! Outstanding flavor. Always fresh. Love that there is always something new to try (but then I also miss some of my favorites that don’t make it back on the menu). Highly recommended!“

“Came here for New Years Eve! The atmosphere was great, the seating was cozy. Our waitress was wonderful. I loved the French onion soup!!!! Our main courses were amazing and had tons left over for the next night. Definitely a place I would recommend to check out, not because of just the food is fantastic but the history behind.“

“Crispy Eggplant Parm Sandwich w/ House Chips and Chocolate Coconut Mousse were all delicious, and the service that I received from Ian was both welcoming and attentive. This was the first time that I’ve been out to eat in a while, when I didn’t have to worry so much about compromising flavor, in place of excessive dairy and meats. The Owl House is a winner- I’ll definitely be back! 🤤👍🏼“

“Does anyone know the name or business name of the young man that sells seamoss gel and herbs?“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here! Even if I’m doing a quick market trip, I grab a delicious coconut bar, breakfast blueberry and banana one or soup to bring and enjoy later because I know it’s going to taste great and be packed with flavor. You can really tell she puts so much love into the menu and food and I love this place.“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“Scratch has made quite a few different desserts for my family and they have gone above and beyond expectation every time. Just when you think their cakes are the best you’ve ever had, their cookies and fresh doughnuts enter the arena too. 🤣 I cannot stress enough about how great their treats and staff are. ❤️“

“Great food, staff are friendly and we love Trivia Night! Feels like Cheers but in Penfield.“

“Fantastic food as always!! Duck was cooked perfectly!“

“Got introduced to chefs catering food at this years #lilacfestival and cannot say enough good things about them. Their food was amazing (especially the plates and mac salad) 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a catering vendor.“

“Mama Napoli Foods is a family owned specialty producer of Authentic Arancini (stuffed rice balls). Mama Napoli Foods is the only place that offers gluten free arancini. They are primarily a wholesale operation but do have a small store front where you can purchase their products. They also offer catering for your events.“

“My picky vegetarian 9-year old loved Susan's battered tofu, Asian noodles and rice. Chef Susan catered a menu designed to her tastes- while offering variety to the rest of the family. My daughter even asked for seconds! There was plenty of food for all of us and the cost was extremely reasonable. We had a nice, healthy family dinner tonight.“

“Best coffee & healthy food“

“The absolute best customer service you could ask for! Kellie was amazing to work with, so kind and responsive. I wouldn't order my cakes from anywhere else!“

“My husband and I don’t make it into the city too often, but when we do, Roam on Park Ave is always a go-to. The food and drinks are always great, and I’m obsessed with their espresso martinis! We came in a few weeks ago and had Kylee as our server — she was fantastic and made the whole night even better. Thanks for another awesome visit!“

“The atmosphere was was great. Our waitress Bella( at the Rochester one) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly sling with our hostess and other table help. Was a great experience. The only thing I was disappointed in ( which wasn’t any of these peoples doing) was my porterhouse steak. For the money, it should have been a nice cut. It was an end cut, one that even some stores don’t use…let alone a very upscale restaurant. It was also supposed to be med rare n was med. I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.“

“Amazing food. Way better than Bella pasta“

“10/10 recommend! We loved having Marty’s at our event. Awesome food and great service. 👏“

“The food was great! Our kids are super picky and had never tried Indian food before. They were able to sample several new flavors and even liked a few!“

“The sweets here are usually very good. They have a good variety to choose from. Their brewed coffee is never that great. They do have the biggest selection of flavor shots however so that sometimes covers the taste. The drinks besides normal coffee are typically good as well“

“Our second time coming to the Mad Hatter Restaurant and Bakery. This time we came with our four granddaughters. This is a good choice as our granddaughters like vegetarian food and gluten-free options. This is a unique local restaurant you feel like you’re going down a rabbit hole with Alice. Limited parking which is why we walked from the George Eastman Museum which we just visited. I highly recommend the Mad Hatter if you’re in the city.“

“Absolutely one of best Italian restaurants ever frequented. Exceptional“

“Love sitting inside near giant glass windows... or outside in warm weather. Wonderful, lovely music. Quiet atmosphere. Food is very good & generous portions. Nice variety of coffees & teas. Also really enjoy looking at all the decor, based on Susan B. Anthony & other important women. Location is where she originally (illegally) voted ! Friendly, nice place > to meet or on your own.“

“The service and atmosphere were outstanding. The menu is reasonably priced and the portions are great. They served our meals quickly without compromising quality. The chicken and steak hibachi meal with fried rice was fresh, hearty, and delicious. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and eager to offer an amazing dining experience. I will be returning soon to sample other items from their menu!“

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“

“I hosted a party at O'Callaghan's last weekend and had the best experience! The staff were so accommodating and flexible with our group. There were 25 of us in attendance and Savannah the bartender was such a massive help and so incredibly friendly. We all can't wait to visit again! The backyard patio/deck is stunning also this time of year, and there was a huge tent in the backyard open for anyone to use. What an awesome space that deserves more attention!“

“Amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Steaks were awesome and perfectly cooked. One lobster tail was a little overcooked, the other one was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend and will be going back“

“Stopped into today for the first time as I was craving a chicken finger sub. The gentleman was super friendly and the sub is delicious!! I will most definitely be back :)“

“Fantastic food with fresh and tasty ingredients. Fantastic service, and dedicated owners. I highly recommend trying anything from here. I have had the Sandwiches which are hand down amazing, the bread itself is a 10of10. I have also had the duck soup, I recommend leaving the red pepper alone if you don't like spice. also the spring rolls are to die for. Hands down a new favorite of mine.“

“This was our second visit to Blu Wolf. Again, the food was great, and the service was outstanding! We enjoyed our first experience at Blu Wolf so much that this time we took friends who were in town visiting! Everyone enjoyed their meal: the quality of the food, the portions, and the atmosphere! We will be back again soon!“

“Jessica was AMAZING!!! She was our server for my night out with my mom and her service was so attentive, thoughtful, caring, and immediate. She also kept making us laugh and became a friend by the end of the night. Truly, somebody get her a raise bc she made our night!! We’ve come here often over the years and this dinner was so wonderful largely because of her care!“
