I googled gluten free restaurants and Senza Gluten came up. I was so excited to eat out and have to watch other people eat what I can't. We had GF bread, pasta. Gnocchi, calamari and dessert. Perfect place for Celiac or Gf people. I highly recommend. The staff is so knowledgeable about all the ingredients in the food and truly wants a good experience for you. read more

We went for dinner tonight. The staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was beautiful. The food was excellent! We had fried calamari, fried cauliflower Parmesan, arancini, and mushroom bruschetta for appetizers. For dinner, we had grilled chicken with sautéed spinach and cannolis for dessert! It's amazing that this restaurant is 100% gluten free because you'd never know it. read more

Senza Gluten - Arancini, fried cauliflower Parmesan, & fried calamari - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Gluten intolerance heaven!!! It was such a thrill to be able order ANYTHING on the menu. And the food is really, really good. My (non gluten intolerant) family agreed - nearly everything was amazing. The ravioli was top notch, as was the lasagna. And the tiramisu was delicious (and huge). The lava cake was the only thing we thought tasted "gluten free" as it was a little gritty. A couple of negatives: they only take cash and Amex, and it's pricey, so be ready with the ATM. Also our server was either having a bad night, or should not be in the waitress game. Yikes. But the food was so yummy I'm still giving it 5 stars. read more

It was better the day after other desserts were also good It's a good Italian restaurant --and it's also gluten free. A real winner Nice neighborhood restaurant feel. Good for an average night or special occasion. read more

This place was amzing because it was all gluten free and the food was incredibly good. It could be a little pricey but it is worth the price for sure i had the chicken parasite and it was amazingly good. This place had great service, and our waitress, had a very unique name was very sweet. We were inside but decided to sit outside and it got even better and somewhat romantic. The place was sort of loud, but its new york you have to expect that from time to time, but not to where you couldn't enjoy your dinner and night out. Check this place out you wont be disappointed especially if you are gluten-Free. read more

Senza gluten was nothing short of a magical experience. With the menu entirely dedicated gluten free, safe for celiacs, it's a rare celiac experience with tons of choices (good for vegans and vegetarians too!). They start you off with a complimentary basket of table bread. This is the highlight of the meal for a celiac. I haven't had such warm, fluffy, bread-smelling baguette bread since diagnosis. It was marvelous. I are an entire basket on my own. It appears they use the same bread but toasted for the bruschetta, which is a full Garlic experience. The pasta was amazing and indistinguishable from gluten pasta. The sauce was rich and flavorful. I asked for the four cheese gnocchi to have a pasta subbed for gnocchi and they recommended penne shape. It was fantastic. The tiramisu is heavenly. It's light and airy, the complete opposite of your average gluten free experience. Nice coffee taste, a delicate set of flavors. Service was very friendly and enthusiastic but a little slow. Our water ran out and the server did not notice or bring us more. We had to try several times to get their attention for more water. read more

Amazing gluten-free Italian option steps from Washington Square, Park. The inside of the restaurant is super charming as is the outside seating. We unfortunately had some mosquito issues and weren't able to fully enjoy our dining experience, but the restaurant management tried to help us as well as they could. We will definitely visit again and sit inside during the summer! We enjoyed everything we had read more

As a gluten eater it's not often I go to a gluten free restaurant and am amazed by the food. Senza gluten was an exception. It was delicious. The service was amazing. They were very proactive about my nut allergy as well. My gf friend loved getting to indulge in bread and pasta and lasagna alike! We loved the vibes, sat outside but the inside is a vibe too. Lots of people on dates. It's low lit and moody inside. BRING CASH!!! We did have to go to an atm! But it was yum. read more

Senza has been on my list of places to try as I don't get to eat fresh Italian food a lot due to my gluten sensitivity. I went there for lunch when they first opened so the restaurant wasn't crowded which I liked. The staff was very nice and prompt. The bread and oil were so food. You could taste how fresh the bread was and it was super soft. I ordered the lasagna which was very good and I couldn't even tell any of the meal was gluten free. I would love to come back for a dinner to explore more of their menu and try some dessert. read more

Senza Gluten - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for dinner and absolutely loved it. Everything is gluten free but many customers come because the food is great. I had the lasagna (some I have not had in over a decade). I was in heaven. We loved enough we came back the next day for brunch. And let me tell you, get the French toast. They were amazing. The service was great. Got to meet the owner and her son - interestingly they are from Georgia (the country) and not from Italy. Still great job and I place I recommend especially for my gluten free friends, but everyone will enjoy this place. Note: bathrooms are down stairs and not accessible to disabled folks. read more

Senza Gluten - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Cozy, romantic restaurant where you can feel the owners love. First off, everything in this restaurant is gluten free including the free bread they bring out to you to start your dining experience. I started the meal with a Montepulciano wine and was taken aback how wonderfully sweet it was. For my second drink of the evening, I tried their blue fizz gin drink which I also enjoyed and packed more of a punch being it was a liquor drink versus wine. My gf and I shared a mushroom bruschetta which was decent. If I could have a redo I probably would order something else but that is just due to me not loving a hard and toasted bread which yes, I am very aware is the nature of brushetta ; ) I ordered the grilled veal which came garnered with mushrooms and I subbed out the string beans for Brussel sprouts, the meal also came with roasted potatoes. The roasted potatoes were exceptional. Brussel sprouts needed some more seasoning, which was an easy fix, just pour a dabble of salt on them, ez pz. The veal could have used perhaps a dipping sauce or a sauce to enhance the flavor, but it was certainly delicious, I finished it all without fail. The gf went with the spaghetti and chicken parm dish. She stated she enjoyed it but was expecting more leading to the lead up to coming here. Now FYI, this is a monster piece of chicken, so you are getting good value for your buck as you should definitely have a number of leftovers. I was studying the light fixture on our table, and it looked like the owner who came over to me and gave me all the details on the beautiful piece and was very friendly. If you are celiac or need to eat gluten free, I think you will enjoy your dining experience here. As always people SYOY!!! read more

My husband, son and I went to the city just to try this place out. Being gluten free and in New York we knew we were not going to be disappointed here. We were seated right away. We ordered their fresh bread and calamari to start off with. All of us really enjoyed both I forgot to picture them. I enjoyed a non alcoholic strawberry margarita it was refreshing and sweet. I loved it. I ordered pollo allá milanesa, my husband the pollo allá parmigiana and we specifically ordered a pasta with white sauce mushrooms/shrimp for my son. Food was delightful and portions were big so we definitely ended up taking some home. We ended with tiramisu which was just as good as we had imagined. The reason I took off one star was because the waiter got lost in the mix of people who would come up to check and see if we were done. There were at least three people checking on our table which was very odd in my opinion. They almost took one of our plates when we weren't fully done. Just really felt rushed out of there and it did take away from the experience we were hoping to get. Ambiance other than that felt chill so maybe I would give it another chance next time. read more

For a celiac sufferer such as myself, this plan is a dream come true. All food is gluten free and delicious- think fried anything and even GF tiramisu. Servers were very prompt and helpful. Highly recommend if you're in NYC. read more

Came here on a Friday night, and overall wasn't too impressed by the meal or service. When pouring olive oil onto our plates for the bread, the waiter spilled some onto my friend's pants. For food, we enjoyed the calamari, bruschetta, and arancini. And for mains, we shared fettuccine alla bolognese, lamb chops, and veal chops. There was not that much meat on each chop and they were both around $50 each. We found all the dishes to be pricey and the food was nothing special. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. My daughter has celiac and loves to try GF places when we travel. She was impressed with this one! The service was also really great! I will say they need to work on their Old Fashioned game, it was just ok. We did miss the fact that they only take cash or American Express even though it is on their website but that was my mistake! They do have an ATM, thankfully. We will absolutely go back if we find ourselves in NYC! read more

Had a great work lunch in Greenwich Village this past Sunday! This is a fantastic spot for gluten-free dining, and my co-worker with celiac was so happy to have a worry-free meal. The staff were friendly, asked for any other allergies (if any), & made us feel comfortable. This establishment is on the smaller side but very lovely. The ambiance gives Italy all the way, felt fancy like, but also authentic. We started with warm bread served with olive oil, which was comforting, though I would've liked a bit more crunch. The fried calamari had a nice texture but could have used a little extra seasoning. These are just my personal opinions, but the real standout? The lasagna. Light, flavorful, and genuinely impressive for a gluten-free dish-it didn't feel like a compromise at all. To top it off, I tried their tiramisu and couldn't believe how light and airy it was! I love tiramisu, and I was so glad it wasn't heavy--it was the perfect way to end the meal. This meal has me excited to explore more gluten-free spots. Senza Gluten was a great find! I will be returning another time to try more as well as the missed out on cocktails, which looked delicious per their IG! Tip *** They only take AMEX or cash, atm on site, & downstairs towards the small restrooms. read more

Six of us came here for my birthday dinner. While only one of us is GF, we all really enjoyed our meals. My GF friend was SO happy to be able to eat all the things. Gio (sp?) our server was helpful and quick. This place was very busy and we had to wait a bit before our table was ready- about 30 mins after our scheduled reservation. They were very busy, obviously a need in the world. Quaint place with a solid menu for everyone who enjoys Italian. I can't say I liked the bread, but my spaghetti a la vongole was great. We also got calamari for the table and some burrata. The calamari was super light and tasty. We got some cannoli for dessert- not my fave and actually quite pricey for the size of what it was. Everything else was great. I'd recommend. read more

I have no reason to eat gluten free, but I came here because I heard the food was good. I was not disappointed! The Rigatoni Funghi e Speck was delicious. It was the right amount of creamy and mushroomy. Plus the smoked prosciutto really brought it all together. The portion was also huge. I was so full at the end without even finishing it. My wife and I got the fried rice balls to share. They were creamy, cheesy, and had a nice crunch. The bourbon cocktail I ordered was really well balanced and I enjoyed sipping on it throughout dinner. Service was great. Very friendly and attentive staff. The space was nice too. It was a cozy spot that didn't feel cramped. Definitely felt like I was at an Italian restaurant from the decor. Overall, very great food. I recommend trying and even more for someone who needs a gluten free option. read more

Senza Gluten - Rigatoni Funghi e Speck - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Senza Gluten is absolutely incredible and I am eager to return here very soon. My fiancé and I came here on New Year's Eve with another couple, one of them has Celiac disease. As a vegetarian, I understand the excitement of finding a place that has an entire menu that you are able to order from without over-analyzing, and Senza Gluten does not disappoint. The space is quintessentially lower Manhattan in its hole-in-the-wall presentation and layout, but where other small spaces may make you feel rushed, we did not at all feel rushed during our evening here. The arancini and the cauliflower appetizer are genuinely outstanding. The cauliflower especially tasted like a variation on chicken parm - I have been thinking about it every day since visiting here. I got the Rigatoni Funghi without the speck, and I had more than half the plate to take home with me to save for later. I would have never guessed that this was gluten free pasta. There is a wide array of cocktail options - 3 of us got the strawberry margarita and 1 of us got Senza Garden, and they do NOT hold back on the strawberry infusion. So if you don't love strawberries, I wouldn't recommend these drinks lol but fortunately we all loved ours :) I highly recommend Senza Gluten for gluten-free peeps AND gluten lovers alike. read more

Ambience is cozy, rustic, and great for a date! Calamari is melt in your mouth, good. We found the sauce to be a bit bland- although the waiter said the marinara is their "spicy sauce with chili peppers." We detected no spice, it really just tasted like tomato sauce. But the calamari itself was great. The blueberry pancakes are so fluffy and delicious, delivered with a blueberry compote - almost like a cross between a pancake, soufflé and mochi! And lastly, the eggs with challah and spinach! Chefs kiss! Order it! With salmon as your protein. It is a wonderful fresh, healthy, and deeply satisfying meal. The eggs and spinach are cooked perfectly and the challah is nice. The complimentary bread is served warm and is worth the visit by itself! read more

Senza Gluten = Pasta Heaven If you've been mourning real Italian food since going gluten-free, run to Senza Gluten. This 100% gluten-free spot in Greenwich Village is the real deal--cozy, charming, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the gnocchi bolognese and nearly cried. Fluffy, perfectly cooked pillows in a rich, savory sauce that tasted like home. Add a warm GF bread basket (yes, really) and I was fully in my feelings. The kitchen takes cross-contamination seriously--separate prep areas, GF fryer, clear protocols--and the staff is kind, informed, and super allergy-aware. You walk in with peace of mind and leave full and happy. The vibe is rustic and welcoming, like a family dinner in the middle of Manhattan. It's the kind of place that makes you feel seen and spoiled. Heads-up: They only accept AMEX or cash. Delivery available via Grubhub, Seamless, and Uber Eats. Bottom line: Safe, flavorful, and soul-satisfying. This isn't just a meal--it's a full-circle moment for anyone who's ever had to say goodbye to gluten.

This place turned up to be quite disappointing a very very expensive. Nothing tasted homemade and the pasta was the same as what I get Trader Joe's. The fact that this is a gluten only restaurant makes it quite a novelty, but the food was not that spectacular. The gnocchi had a strange consistency and the seafood pasta, although a generous portion, was bland. The cannolis were very hard. Overall place is cute and service is good but food is very average and did I mention expensive? read more

In a word... unbelievable!! I think this place made my wife cry. She has celiac and has been looking for a place that was this good that was GF. Well we found it. I couldn't tell the difference between regular pasta or the gf pasta. It was that good. This place is dedicated GF. The service was phenomenal. The ambiance was awesome. I just wish we had a place like this in Michigan. The lasagna was flavorful and tasty. The gnocchi funghi cream sauce was delightful and the gnocchi were soft and perfect. The tiramasu was orgasmic. Yep I said it. If you come to NY come here!! Make a reservation. Btw they only take cash and Amex. read more

Very good for a completely gluten free Italian place. The arancini was good but very truffle heavy. The bread was not good, which is fine. The carbonara was pretty good but the sauce was a bit gloopy and seemed like it needed more liquid. The texture of the pasta itself was great though. Service also very good. Vibes are cozy. read more

Senza Gluten - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Everything is completely gluten free and you wouldn't be able to tell by eating it. Although I eat gluten, I came here with a couple of people who have Celiac and we all really enjoyed the experience. The complimentary bread tasted better than some regular bread I have tried and they give you a nice Italian experience with personal plates of oil with pepper for the bread. My group got food ranging from pasta dishes to breaded meat and seafood and everything was amazing. The four of us were so full after eating as much as we could of the delicious meals so we all split one order of gelato for dessert. I highly recommend dinner here and will likely return with anyone that does not eat gluten. The only reason I might not return just on my own or with others that eat gluten is because it is a little expensive but the taste of the food and the experience is well worth the cost. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant falls short of expectations. The space feels cramped with tables positioned uncomfortably close together. It is an overly noisy environment that makes conversation nearly impossible. In fact, you'll find yourself struggling to hear your dining companions throughout the meal. The execution needs work. Dishes arrived extremely hot from the kitchen without consideration for whether that temperature was appropriate for each item!!!! The quality was fine, but nothing special. Service was disappointing. In a nearly empty restaurant, staff seemed rushed and on their phone. They were inattentive to basic dining etiquette. Clearing plates while others at the table were still eating and pushing dessert menus before we'd finished our main courses felt pushy and unprofessional (and unwelcome!) There's potential here, but the current experience doesn't justify a return visit. read more

I was so excited to see that they have this completely gluten free Italian restaurant. What???!!!! Yes! I had their gnocchi with cream sauce and spinach. It was recommended by the waiter and he was so right. I loved it! Then my husband had his lasagna. Another wonderfully delicious dish. We didn't order much since we weren't too hungry. But I certainly want to come back and try their other dishes next time. Service was great and the owner was very gracious and friendly. The restaurant is quite small but it is NY so expect it to be a bit loud. It didn't bother me as we sat at the back. read more

It's a charming restaurant in a great location. I was excited to visit my first 100% gluten free restaurant, an Italian one at that. My server was nice and helpful with my mobility accommodation needs. I have no complaints regarding service. I ordered a Caesar salad and the chicken parmesan. Of the two, the Caesar was the star. Beautiful presentation, not overpowering with the anchovies, and such a generous portion! It was nice not having to worry about croutons and they did provide me with a complimentary bread basket and olive oil with balsamic glaze too. The bread wasn't bad but not something I'd crave either, it had a sourdough flavor to it which I do enjoy but I was expecting a different kind of bread in my mind when it was offered to me. I expected a rustic lots of holes in the bread type bread and/or a focaccia style. The chicken Parmesan was surprisingly disappointing. It's such a classic and simple dish, but alas, it was a fail. The pasta portion of it was alright, my only complaint there was it wasn't as al dente as I'd like. The chicken portion of it was a big miss, I don't think they tenderized the chicken, it was very tough and dry. I realize that the chicken is covered in breading and tomato sauce and mozzarella but even with those elements, the chicken wasn't salvaged. It was like the Caesar, a very large portion. I pushed myself to eat past my comfort and ended up eating maybe just less than half the Caesar and about a 1/4 of the chicken Parmesan and was completely stuffed. I would like to try this place again, but won't be ordering the chicken parm my next visit. read more
