I’ve been here five or so times, always on gluten free night (Tuesday). I’ve generally had great experiences with the food and atmosphere. I love the sausage torcio pasta—it’s delicious every time. The cocktails and mock tails are decent as well. For dessert, the tiramisu and cannoli have been my favorites. I’ve never gotten sick or felt uneasy with answers to my questions.
I recommend making a reservation, as some Tuesdays can be really busy.

Waitress says they are busy every Tues for GF night. We arrived at 5p which seemed to be a great time as service was prompt.
The best ever! Nothing bad to say! A must go for gluten free people, Tuesdays are also gluten free only menu all day! I have gluten allergies as well as garlic and onion. It’s so hard to go out to eat especially an Italian restaurant because everything has garlic and onion in it. This place was so nice and talked to the chef to see what he can make, did not feel like I was a bother at all. Delicious gluten free desserts as well, desserts gluten free people usually can’t touch when eating out.

Nice restaurant, really pricey for the quality of food. We went on gluten free Tuesdays and I was excited to try the Gnocchi as it's not an available option really anywhere but it was not good. They weren't pasta, it was more like overcooked mashed potatoes in tater tot form. Also, the flavors were not great. Brussel sprouts were delicious though! I would just go there for drinks and apps. We've been thinking of trying it again in case it was a fluke night but there are SO many gluten free Italian places in Boston that it doesn't feel necessary to try again for a long while.

Went here for my birthday dinner last Tuesday and had the best Italian food I’ve had since being gluten free now for 7 years. Tuesday nights they turn the whole menu gluten free. I shared the meatballs, calamari and Brussels sprouts. For my main, i had the chicken parm with rigatoni and a chocolate cake for dessert! Highly recommend going here. They are very knowledgeable about celiac.

Great food! Knowledgeable server! Will go back on a Tuesday for Gluten Free Night. Tried scallops and pasta—both were delicious.
2024 update: Still wonderful! Server was great. Had the sea bass and the tiramisu—did not get sick. Definitely on the list for any GF Boston itinerary!

I’ve been to Capo for GF Tuesdays. The first time I felt good and was excited to go again. When I went the second time I threw up after the meal. When I went the third time I felt a little sick after as well. I don’t think I got glutened but I do think I had a bad reaction to the gf bread they bring to the table. The second time I went I had the caprese salad, the gnocchi with pork and balsamic, and the bread. I only had a half slice of the bread the third time and I didn’t feel as sick. I do feel like they take allergies seriously and are knowledgeable about celiac.

I went for gf night & was very excited to be able to eat everything on the menu! That being said, the food I tried was underwhelming. The bread was dense, the gnocci was greasy and the pasta was very heavy. Love love love this concept, was just not very pleased with the actual execution of the meals.

Amazing! Come in on Tuesdays for full gluten free menu (minus one thing for the people who are like “eww gluten free”). This is the only restaurant I have ever been able to order meatballs and know it’s safe. On normal nights, they have gf pasta and pizza crust and one dedicated dessert. But the gf bread for the table is only on Tuesdays, so definitely go then. I have to keep going back so I can try everything on the menu!

Went here for gluten free night (every Tuesday) and it was AMAZING!! As a celiac it was amazing to be able to eat pretty much anything on the menu. They clean the kitchen entirely the day before (including the fryers!!) and the risk of cross contamination is minimal (they’ve added a few “non gluten free” dishes to the menu, but assured us that the focus is on keeping the environment gluten free and dishes were chosen especially to be easier to not share spaces). We went as a group and had pizza, chicken and eggplant parm, the truffle polenta cakes (so good), pistachio pesto Brussel sprouts, a dessert special (ricotta donuts with Nutella-outstanding), and a piece of delicious chocolate cake. Even the table bread was gluten free and delicious. Also has a great bar with awesome cocktails. Definitely recommend coming on a Tuesday, it was pretty busy so maybe make a reservation!

Finally got here to try Tuesday nights at Capo. Last night was a special Thanksgiving meal and it was amazing. It was so nice to just feel normal. I didn’t have to worry about other people dipping their bread in the oil and I could eat off anyone else’s plate. 10 out of 10 experience.

I finally made it here for a gluten free Tuesday and it did not disappoint! It was so nice not having to worry about any sort of cross contact and all of the food was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend (not gluten free) also really enjoyed everything he had, which is always a worry I have whenever I bring anyone to a fully gluten free restaurant. I will definitely be coming here again!

Ate here on my first night in Boston after being encouraged by reviews here. It was not GF night when I went, but I didn’t feel I had a shortage of options and the pasta was absolutely delicious. I got to the end of my dish and found a spaghetti noodle in my rigatoni pasta and immediately thought “Oh no. Here we go.” But I asked my waitress and she checked with chef and through this I learned they make all the GF pasta on the same day (a day when they aren’t also making gluten pasta) and no matter what day it is, they have a separate GF pot. My waitress was honest that there was still a chance that the spaghetti was glutenous and offered to bring out her manager, take it off the bill, etc. She was obviously very concerned and I could tell this doesn’t happen often. In the end I did not get sick, so I believe it was a GF noodle.

Had the best experience here on GF Tuesday. Husband & son couldn't tell the difference. Had the brussel sprouts for app. Fresh homemade bread was delicious and my chicken Parm with fresh pasta was out of this world. If I lived closer to this place I would definitely make it one of my staple restaurants!!!

Went for gluten free night and informed the server I have celiac disease when I ordered. Tested the gluten free focaccia with my Nima sensor and it was gluten free. Ordered the pasta bolognese and my Nima sensor found gluten in it. The manager was apologetic and said they would look into it. I wasn’t comfortable trying any more of the food, but they did take the pasta off the bill.

Gluten Free Tuesdays: Best GF Italian food in all of Boston. You'll never get anything like it again. Get the breads, arrancini, meatballs, pasta. You'll dream about it later. 10/10. Best gf Italian I've had yet.

Love love love gluten free Tuesdays at capo but there’s amazing gluten free food every other night too! I’ve had the gluten free pasta with vodka sauce and the spaghetti carbonara-both we’re amazing! Wasn’t a huge fan of the bread on the gluten free night however it was cool to just get a basket of it without even asking. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in Boston!! Also pretty affordable as a college student with celiac and easy to get to from the red line

Love this place! They clean the place down and have GF every Tuesday. Only a couple items on the menu with gluten those days. The food was terrific. The service was wonderful. I had so many choices! I had shrimp scampi which isn't listed on the menu but was recommended by my waitress. Hubby had ziti with marinara and chicken parmesan and was impressed by the crunchy coating (he isn't GF). Dulcey cheesecake for dessert. Table also had cheese foccacia with dipping olive oil/ shredded cheese which was close to regular focaccia crumb.

I went for their GF Tuesday where they make their entire menu and kitchen gluten free every Tuesday. The gf focaccia they brought out was stellar, and the pasta was well cooked. My two friends couldn’t tell that everything was gluten free. A great selection I’ll definitely be back for.

Went for Valentine’s Day on Gluten Free Tuesday. We ordered a ton and shared it. I had leftovers for days too. My fav was the Torcia Alfredo, second close was chicken parm and meatballs. I took meatballs home to make my own sub. The pizza was prob the best gf pizza I’ve had but was overshadowed by the unreal pasta. Not only was the food incredible but it was so wonderful to feel normal and order anything I wanted off the menu. If you haven’t been you need to go

Tuesday nights are GF nights and they close down the kitchen, do a deep clean, and the kitchen is a dedicated gluten free facility for the night. I got the chicken parm and it was HUGE and delicious. The pizza was very doughy and I will definitely be back.

Ordered on Uber Eats for gluten free night. The only menu available for order is GF Night, everything is described as “Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan,” “Gluten Free Pizza” etc. There is no further option to indicate a gluten allergy, but why would I need to when I’ve been told everything I’m ordering is GF?
After eating, I started to feel sick. I checked their Instagram and saw on stories that GF Night was “cancelled.” There was no information related to that on Uber Eats. I have celiac disease and just ate a huge amount of gluten. Grossly inappropriate and cruel to people with gluten allergies. I’m miserable.
Went for GF Tuesday and it was AMAZING to get almost anything on the menu without fear!!! They gave us gf bread in the beginning, the we got the arancini and scallops, then I got this sausage broccolini pasta, my dad got penne vodka, and we also got gelato. Best night. I have celiac

Went for GF Tuesday. It was so nice to be able to eat almost anything off the menu including desserts. Only the ravioli had gluten. The pizza is wafer thin and didn’t salt with the kids, but I was super happy. We had Brussels sprouts, arancini, garlic bread, lobster gnocchi and caico de Pepe. It was so nice to eat what I wanted. It was fantastic gluten free Italian. Great vibe too.

I finally made it to gluten free tuesdays and it was great! The whole kitchen gets a deep clean so cc is not an issue. I got the cassava fries and the focaccia bread was to die for. The shrimp scampi was kind of bland but I was happy to have pasta. I also got the tiramisu that was SO GOOD

Gluten free Tuesdays are perfect for celiacs! The food was incredible but better yet, safe! I emailed before my trip to Boston and they explained that everything made on Tuesday is gluten free - equipment is cleaned or it is separate equipment to prevent cross contamination. We ordered the gluten free pepperoni pizza, salad and eggplant parm and it was all so good!! If you’re planning a trip to Boston, definitely plan it around going to Capo for gluten free Tuesday !!

Tuesday is gluten-free night - they clean the kitchen but also have some non-gluten-free items on the menu even on Tuesdays, hence the docked heart.
Choosing was difficult with so many things on the menu; we all know how it usually goes with just one option for packaged pasta we could have cooked at home.
The garlic bread is amazing - do get it!

Just something I learned from them before going- they do use gluten-removed wheat starch. While that is gluten free, often people who are unable to eat wheat assume something listed gluten free is also wheat free. This is not the case here. I’m unsure if every item that is GF contains the wheat still. ((rating it as 5 stars as GF people who can have wheat love this establishment!))

I’ve been to their GF Tuesday nights a few times and it’s without question my favorite restaurant I’ve been to since going gluten free (I am biased toward loving Italian food but this is far from the only Italian food I’ve had GF). We always get multiple apps and I’ve mixed up my entree each time and have never been disappointed by anything (not even the zucchini fries, I did not expect to be into them when my friend suggested it but they are absolutely delicious). And I have been with non-GF friends who all loved their food as well. Any celiac in or near Boston should have this on their bucket list if they haven’t been before.
EDIT: I previously stated I had never been on a Tuesday and still haven’t but there was a week they didn’t do gf night on Tuesday and I hadn’t known in advance. They still had gluten free pasta which you can get with a variety of sauces and such and they also have risotto and salads available. I’m pretty sure they did not have gf pizza (slightly struggling to remember for sure) and they definitely didn’t offer most (all?) of their apps gluten free or have any sort of bread. Meals like chicken parm and piccata were unsurprisingly also not available gluten free. So you can still get a good meal on a non-gf night, you just won’t have as large of a range of options. But stick to Tuesdays as much as you can.
