Con Alma Downtown

I went last night for a late dinner and drinks. Atmosphere was fun, loved the jazz music playing. The menu is very limited for gluten-free and it is pricey. I just got the guacamole. It was so delicious, but there were only two other dishes that could be made gluten-free. One was vegan and the other vegetarian. The server was very kind to check multiple times with the kitchen. I felt very safe.

A great jazz club in Downtown Pittsburgh (also a sister restaurant in Shadyside neighborhood). Menu is Cuban/Caribbean influenced. Gluten free items marked on menu. 30%-40% of menu is gluten free. Great food, good cocktails, great music. Have eaten here three times now with no contamination issues

Eaten here multiple times. Staff is very helpful. Menu is marked. They’ll even let you know if the food is made close to a station with gluten. The food is wonderful by the way. If you like jazz and are GF, this is a must go.

Great restaurant; really wonderful staff that was thorough once I let them know I have celiacs. The menu ID’d food as gluten free, and the server went the extra mile to double check with the kitchen that it was safe and not at risk of cross contamination. Can’t recommend enough.

Placed Gluten Free tag on our reservation and when we arrived, they specifically asked which of our party was GF. Once seated, they reconfirmed and each dish we placed an order on, they placed the allergen warning on the order.

No reaction to the Korean Fried Chicken that was designed as GF on their menu.

Cocktail menu did not designate GF but liquors were all called out by brand and easily researched online.

I visit semi-frequently. Menu changes on a daily basis, therefore some days have more gf options than others. Those that are gf might be on the pricey side too like a steak. One time I ordered an item that was marked gf, and it came out with flour tortillas. So be mindful and be sure to have your server double check with the kitchen about cross contamination. For the most part, I love coming here, and 9 times out of 10 theres something delicious for me to enjoy.
