Amazing experience and huge GF menu, completely safe for celiac. Gluten free menu is extensive and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Went here for brunch. Their regular menu is super detailed about gluten free and everything. However, the brunch menu has no info at all. Got the divorced eggs (or something like that) on corn tortillas and haven’t had a reaction. I just wish their menu could be a bit more detailed for gluten free brunch options.

Ordered the fish tacos with rice and beans and it was very good. The gluten free menu was extensive and they had an extensive vegan menu. Staff was knowledgeable and careful with ingredients I had to leave off.

We mentioned GF each time we ordered; food came out correctly and I wasn’t sick. However as others said, food/service wasn’t very good - I think they were hunting for a bag of gf chips since the tables next to ours ordered apps 5 minutes after us and their nachos both came out before our gf chips and guac. They also brought out the wrong entree at first (nachos that still looked gf instead of quesadillas) and then added 2 random entrees (not the nachos) to our check. So safe enough for gf, but if we were on Yelp I wouldn’t recommend

We were served reg chips from a non dedicated fryer. I even asked once they put the plate down that these were the corrected chips. Then we received gf nachos which arrived with diff chips o then asked why they were diff and they said they made a mistake. I had stressed my child had celiac and they reassured me it was safe yet they served us chips that were cross contaminated there is no dedicated fryer.

Diego’s has an excellent gluten free menu and a vegan menu! The staff is very knowledgeable and take food allergies seriously, and their menu has a special disclaimer on the gluten free menu asking for people to say if they have celiac disease so that the kitchen can take extra precautions to limit cross contamination! I felt so comfortable eating at Diego’s knowing that they understand Celiac Disease!

GF menu & educated on CC. Chicken nachos were amazing, as was the smoked brisket. Craft cocktail selection out of this world! This makes for a fun, Celiac safe meal. Negative: parking is valet only in the Middletown location & it’s so, so unnecessary. 😕

A small place but well worth it. I had the fish tacos and they were so good. The gluten free corn tortillas were so good and did not fall apart. Also had the nachos with chicken. Lots of food and so yummy. A little on the pricey side but again it’s worth it.

Diego's has an extensive gluten free menu with tons of options. I got the "perfect rice bowl" and gluten free tortilla chips. It was delicious! The vibe in this restaurant is really cool and fun. The kitchen is open to the rest of the restaurant which is unique. I'd definitely recommend eating here!

Bartender took great care of us, server was eh. The food was delicious, but I write this review quite literally crying in pain less then an hour after my meal and drink. FOOD IS NOT CELIAC SAFE, and while I took a chance eating at a place with no separate kitchen (which is plenty risky), the reviews about this establishments safety for celiacs are completely coming into question. Perhaps a great place if you are not sensitive to cross contamination, because that's all I can gather the cause of this attack to be (unless there was some sort of mix up in the kitchen) and as I said, the food was nothing short of stellar. Also, upon hearing I was a celiac, the bartender came over to our table and assisted me. The server somewhat copped a bit of a 'tude when I informed her of celiacs, which is always annoying. That "subconscious eye-roll" so to speak. Gets a "3" because of glutening, would have been a "5" other wise.

My favorite spot on the Wharf for gluten free dining. The guacamole is to die for and the dishes are a bundle of flavors in each bite. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive to allergies. One waitress in particular, Hannah went out of her way to make sure my white sangria was gluten free. Hannah and the bartender made a delicious concoction. She even brought over the brunch menu so I could pick her brain on what was available. If you are traveling to Newport make sure to stop by this gem on the Wharf. You will not be disappointed.
