when I woke up this morning, my first thoughts were about WILD, NYC's restaurant.. First want to say I live in midtown for 50 years and it's aweful in midtown during this tourist season... WILD on Hudson street is a completely different experience!!! There are streets with cobblestone, I don't remember hearing loud trucks (we sat outside).. The neighborhood that WILD sits in, has a whole different wonderful, cozy feeling.. I brought a friend to WILD, for her first time... I don't think she even wanted to eat out!!! But here she was watching the wait staff bringing out the plates and she kept commenting how fresh each plate looked.. The wait staff was super cool and super amazing (I am not an easy customer).. Our dinners were super incredible.. I had butternut squash, she had pizza (it was one of their special types) .. I don't think either of us were hungry, but we ate every last bit off our plates cuz it was sooooo delicious!!! I think it's also good to know that the kitchen has been gluten free, since the day it opened.. WILD is my most favorite reasonably priced restaurant in all of NYC read more

So. Many. Choices. This was among the first places we ate at while visiting NYC. And since we have three Celiacs, two of whom are plant-based, we needed restaurants like Wild. It's a quaint restaurant that is 100% gluten free and is sure to satisfy parties of gluten-free and non-gluten free guests alike. My wife and I both picked the quinoa salad, which was amazing. I really like how well balanced the ingredients were: some salad, a good amount of chick peas, ample quinoa and the rest of the ingredient portions were also balanced. The only issue I had was deciding what to order. Everything looked so good! We will certainly be going back next time we are in the city! read more

A celiac, gluten sensitive, and vegetarian walk into the room... My friends and I (described above) dined here for the first time and had a pretty decent experience. The table decor and vibe was very cute for a weekday afternoon. We went during happy hour time and my friends got hefty wine pours for $10. For food, mozzarella sticks are a must especially for GF folks. We shared the roasted beet salad which was pretty tasty but I kind of felt the beets were kind of thick and could've been cut up more. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and my friends got the pesto pasta and the spinach ricotta ravioli. The squash ravioli had great flavor but the pasta was too tough/al dente for my liking. I've seen this in other reviews and wonder if they're frozen and just getting reheated at the same setting. My friends thought their pasta was also just okay, the pesto lacking a bit of salt. We had the tiramisu for dessert and honestly that was their saving grace because we loved it. It was my friend's birthday so they sang happy birthday which was nice and a sign of attentive service. Overall it was nice, not great, but I would give it another try and taste some other menu items! read more

We had such a great experience with Wild! We were flying into NYC and called ahead from the airport to place a takeout order, and Jacob went above and beyond to help us. He was incredibly accommodating, made thoughtful menu recommendations, and ensured everything would be ready when we arrived. Honestly, we were blown away by how good everything tasted -- especially for takeout. You'd never guess it wasn't served fresh at the table. Highly recommend the Pesto pasta dish. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and exceeded expectations. Jacob truly set the tone for our trip with his service. Highly recommend! read more

NASTY!!!!!! AVOID~!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible owner and managers that think they are above any one and every one.... read more

Delightful gluten free brunch in the West Village. I am a bit surprised by the low Yelp rating. The spot itself was pretty small and tight, small tables very close together--very euro vibe. Apparently there was a back room they eventually opened up because it was getting too crowded, not sure why they didn't just do so from the start! It was super cute though and had a charming romantic vibe. Service was mostly good! Our original waiter seemed a bit out of his depth and confused, but there were some other servers helping as well and those ladies were on top of it. They were able to confirm what options were dairy free as well. Nothing took too long and everything came out right--and delicious! We ended up ordering from the fixed brunch menu which included drinks--two of us got byo omelettes and one a frittata which came with potatoes, greens, and focaccia, and then we all opted for mimosas! We also shared a pancake plate which included a coffee. Pricing was super fair for the area and felt like a good deal. And everything was so good! I did a scallion and bacon omelette and it was very good. The potatoes and focaccia served with it as well were pretty amazing--I ended up stealing my friend's piece. The pancakes were pretty decent and fluffy as well. Mimosas and drip coffee were great. All around a super satisfying and delicious meal. Would for sure come back and recommend! read more

Tight Quarters, Modest Flavor -- but Quality Has Slipped We returned to Wild in the West Village for dinner on a busy Friday night, a spot we've visited many times over the years. The place was buzzing -- every table inside full, the narrow dining room and tiny kitchen making movement tight, especially with the bathroom tucked right next to it. Guests and staff share this single restroom, which makes for awkward congestion when there's a line. In summer, outdoor seating eases the squeeze, but in winter it's elbows all around. Wild's fully gluten-free menu leans Mediterranean, but this visit was disappointing. Our calamari arrived in a small portion, lukewarm, and with little care in presentation -- a far cry from past visits or other calamari worldwide. For mains, we had the pepperoni pizza, the "Skinny B--ch" vegetarian pizza, and chicken Parmesan with rigatoni. Portions were modest, quality mediocre, and everything arrived cold. The chicken Parmesan was thin and undersized, while the rigatoni in red sauce looked like something from a much lower-tier restaurant. We finished with caramel crunch cake and tiramisu -- both standard, rich desserts, but nothing memorable. Service felt rushed, with the server keen to move things along, even bringing the check unprompted while we were mid-conversation. Considering the portion sizes, quality, and overall experience, the cost of dinner simply didn't feel justified. The space would benefit from an upkeep-focused remodel that preserves its charm while improving flow and comfort. The bathroom, still gas-station-esque, remains a sore spot. Once a standout for casual gluten-free dining, Wild's quality has noticeably slipped over the years. #WestVillageEats #GlutenFreeNYC #SmallSpaceBigFlavor #DiningInNYC read more

I can't stop thinking about my meal at WILD yesterday.. I brought a friend, for her first time.. Her eyes lit up as the wait staff brought out meals and you could see her mouth watering, as she kept saying how fresh all the food looks.. We were seated quickly.. The wait staff was friendly and worked together.. I can be a tough customer.. We weren't hungry, but finished our delicious meals anyway.. I had the butternut squash, she got one of the special pizzas.. The prices were great, for NYC.. And the restaurant is located in a quiet neighborhood .. We sat outside and I didn't hear one truck pass by., There were some cute tree lined cobblestone streets nearby .. Having a meal at WILD was a perfect place to break up the day.. read more

Ate here the other day. Food was cold and there were fruit flies flying around. I was very very uncomfortable and left very disappointed.

The ambiance was a loud, dirty sidewalk. The service as awful with them going in and out everything took forever. It was hard to enjoy the expensive meal. Won't be back. read more

Gluten free is hard to knock out the park - while it wasn't knocked out, Wild does provide really solid gluten free options. I promise the further you get from gluten the less you recall how good is it. Loved that they have butternut squash ravioli on the menu - definitely feel the pasta was a little too al dente for my liking. Maybe I can ask them to cook it longer next time. If they could find a way to thicken/ sweeten the pizza dough crust I think it would be even better - but our mushroom, burrata, prosciutto pizza still did the trick. I'm very happy a gluten free place like wild exists! I will be back and will check out some of the other options. Super cozy vibes inside. One teeny tiny bathroom though but that's what ya get in west village. Keep on keeping it GF Wild! read more

If you need to eat gluten free this is the place for you. If you are connected to a person who is gluten free and you want to eat excellent food which they can eat, this place is for you! The restaurant is 100% gluten free. We were seated in the dining room which was preferable (had a reservation). It was quieter and slightly better lit. Service was 2/3rds good. Wine steward- nice job. Split a bottle among the five of us and still left some for later. Food service- friendly and accommodating. Waitron- lacked inattentiveness and was slightly indifferent. Only meh of the night. All entrees were excellent. The chew of the pasta and flavors of the sauces were top tier. Three of us had ravioli (3 different types) and two had pizza. I would eat any of them again. Desserts were good too. NY is lucky so have such a place! read more

Wild is an all-natural, local, 100% gluten-free restaurant. Amazing to be able to find pizza, pasta, and desserts that those who can't digest gluten can safely enjoy. Celebrated a birthday with large group where everyone could find something great to eat - the party consisted of some who are gluten-free, vegetarian, or pescatarian. (Those without dietary restrictions found plenty to enjoy as well!) Wild is a lovely space and it was very busy on a beautiful day. There were people waiting for tables when we arrived. The staff is friendly and attentive and did pretty well with a large group. Wild's menu offers a wide variety of gluten-free dishes, including appetizers like Avocado Toast with honey, gorgonzola, and walnuts, as well as hearty options such as the Spice-Rubbed Chicken Salad, Quinoa Bowl with roasted eggplant, and a selection of gluten-free burgers. Comfort food is reimagined with dishes like Chicken Parmigiano, Chicken Milanese, and Pan-Seared Salmon, while handmade gluten-free pastas like Garganelli Alla Vodka and Wild Mushroom Garganelli offer a unique dining experience. Per the website, the pizza made with organic, gluten-gree flours & tomato sauces, and hormone-free cheeses & meats. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get photos of each person's dish! read more

100% gluten free! Mozzarella sticks 10/10. Calamari was good but slightly understated. Butternut squash ravioli was great. Rigatoni with meatballs was just average. Great restaurant for people with celiac! Restaurant was very busy so service was a little slow but they were very nice! Vibey ambiance. Great outdoor seating but also plenty of indoor seating as well. read more

Food made me violently ill. Manager was rude, and I witnessed him attempt to batter other patrons. Ambiance is meh, many tables are outside on a public sidewalk read more

They treat the public poorly! There is a video on youtube where the manager was harassing a man. Truly awful treatment

My second visit to Wild has been fantastic! Fabulous cocktail, mozz sticks to die for, and a GF pizza and pasta menu people dream of. If you are gluten-free, this cozy and friendly nook was made for you! read more

What I saw on a video of a tourist in NY, of your manager and employees really shows me how and what you think of people. Your manager cussed and threatened someone on the sidewalk. You do not own the sidewalk BTW. Customers tossed water at him, and the manager lied to cops about that. He also tried to trip the guy as he was trying to back away from a aggressive customer. Shameful. I would never spend my money at your business, with employees who are so poorly trained. Disrespectful and uneducated. Just shameful. read more

Outside dining needs to be cleaned more often. Sidewalk should be steam cleaned once in a while

Love this place. Great pricing and food, and the guy that works early lunch / early afternoons is really hospitable. Highly recommended.

such a cute place!! I'm not personally gluten free, but my two roommates are and they were so impressed with the food!! everyone was very kind here and the service was good. I definitely need to come back soon and try more of their items- the menu was big!! they also have cooking classes which seem cool read more

I swear I've been here, but I'm getting up in years and the lack of a previous Yelp review indicates perhaps not. Ay caramba. Regardless, we came here for a birthday dinner one warm, chaotic Saturday night. It was so busy and insane, the NYPD even came by at one point--though it was unclear if the manager had called them or if someone above had called the NYPD on the manager. The officers came out, took a quick look around, then turned around and drove off. No idea what the issue was. Your tax dollars at work, folks. Anywho, the food was your standard Italian-American fare without much to distinguish it from the ocean of similar joints throughout the city. We started with some mozzie sticks, which were appropriately bar quality, and Fried Artichokes, which were eh. On to entrees: My Spicy Seafood Pasta was about as spicy as a Westchester soccer mom. Points for above-average portions of shrimp, but minus 1K points to Hufflepuff for not knowing what a chile pepper is. The Chicken Parmigiano was better but still bland, while the Avocado Pizza won for weirdest dish of the night that still didn't taste all that great. I liked the side of Mashed Potatoes, I guess, but at $9 a pop, those better be made from actual Yukon gold potatoes (emphasis on the "gold"). I want to say dessert made up for the mediocrity, but I can't. The Chocolate Caramel Crunch wasn't bad, but my regular Cheesecake was...wrong. Weirdly dry, like it was made from vegan cheese instead of cream cheese, and lacking any discernible sweetness. And this is coming from an Asian gal whose favorites sweets are the "not too sweet" kind. I wouldn't order this unless you enjoy circular sawdust. read more

To clarify: I would give a 3.5 stars if it was an option, but it's not so! I'll start by mentioning the good parts: the butternut squash ravioli was incredibly delicious, rivaling some non gf ones I've had. The drinks were good too, and the fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. The service however, was mid bordering on rude. Our server's name was Kathy (not that she introduced herself to us) and we essentially had to flag her down whenever we wanted something. We were there for an hour and a half and she came to take our orders, to ask us mid bite if we needed anything else, then to comment on how much food we were eating by asking how our "feast" was. Other than the service, almost everything we ordered came out room temperature, which could be contributed to how busy and small of a space it was, but maybe they need to take a table out at that point. There was one bathroom for staff and customers to share, we were six inches from tables on either side, and it was almost too dark to read the menu. It's really nice to have a celiac conscious 100% gluten free kitchen, but would've been nicer if everything listed above was different. read more

Great food! Always has the best gluten free options. Great location and easy to get too.

It's a great spot if you have someone in your party who needs a 100% gluten free menu. It's liberating for them to not have to worry about cross-contamination and to be able to choose anything they want off of the menu. The thin crust pizzas don't taste gluten free! We also had a fried artichoke special appetizer that we inhaled. I wish there was a place like this closer to home. read more

I reserved through OpenTable and I was seated pretty quickly when I got there. I sat outside to enjoy the pretty day. It was nice that they had an all gluten-free menu, it made it easy for me. The calamari fritters were a little rubbery, but the truffle pizza and lobster ravioli were pretty tasty. Their "dessert menu" was the very nice server bringing out a demo plate of all the options which was a neat very visual way of choosing which dessert to have. read more

Having Celiac Disease, I was very pleased to find a place that was 100% gluten free.

Wild is an absolute gem in NYC. As a family managing celiac disease and type one diabetes, sitting down and eating completely worry-free means everything. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the food is delish. They have the best gluten-free pizza in the city, plus an incredible brunch (don't miss the BEC egg waffle sandwich or the eggs Benedict). Our kids love the mozzarella sticks, fried calamari, burgers, fries, and pizza. We come here every time we're in New York and bring all our guests. If you want celiac safe, delicious food, great cocktails, the royal treatment and a place that has an wonderful vibe, Wild is it. read more
