The place is like a spot in a food court with lots of different Latin cuisine offerings, which I occasionally crave, and would be fun to visit with friends. It is nice to have a dedicated, celiac-friendly eating spot. I ordered the Valencia paella and codfish cakes. It was tasty, although not quite like what I've had in in other Brazilian, Portuguese or Spanish restaurants, but I would go back. Next time I'm definitely trying some fried seafood.

Excellent experience! 100% GF kitchen inside the Parkville Market. (They have regular rolls if you choose but are kept in a separate part and there is NO cross contamination) Food was fresh, made to order. Smoothie and pineapple mousse were super yummy too! Celiac safe-no issues! Plenty of parking & seating. We will absolutely be visiting again.

Great place and menu selections…Food was really good. I had a really nice conversation with Deco (owner/chef) and he completely gets the risks associated with celiac disease and cross contamination to the point that the “regular” bun lobster rolls on the menu are prepared in the food stand next door. His hot sauce is quite nice as well. Definitely going back next time I am in Hartford.

Delicious! Was able to get fried food from a 100% gluten free facility so no worries about cross contamination. The fried shrimp basket and fries were wonderful. I’ll be back.

Amazing. Lobster roll was spot on and the bread was delicious. Fries were great and my daughter got the piña colada smoothie and loved it. Everything is 100% gluten free.

Exceeded my expectations. Paella was great and so we’re the cod croquettes. 100% gf facility. I was a little concerned because I saw they had a regular bread option for the lobster rolls. The manager heard me ask the employee checking me out and assured me the bread is at a totally different restaurant. He was super nice and said he opened this place to guarantee it was safe for celiacs. It’s also a good spot to go with a group since people can get food from different places in the market. Highly recommend!

The kitchen is 100% gluten free, as the owner very proudly told us. They do have a second business attached to the GF side that is not GF (lots of sandwiches), but he told me the kitchens are separate. We ordered the fish and chips and the crab cakes. Not the best I've had, but glad to have the option!

Fish and Chips was excellent… huge portion of fish, perfectly fried, and the fries were excellent. My daughter got the clam chowder and finished two cups. Best chowder I have had in a long time. 100% gluten free… looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. I recently went back again and got the Brazilian Paella… It was excellent.

Ate here yesterday when dropping son off at college. So nice to be able to eat battered scallops, cod and shrimp, with fries, in the full knowledge that it was all GF. The coating was tasty. Great place.

Finally a dedicated gluten free place to eat at the Parkville market. Even better the food was amazing. The best yuca fries I’ve ever had. Clam chowder, lobster roll, fish and chips, and croquettes were all excellent. They offer the lobster roll with a non-GF bun, but I don’t think the buns were toasted so risk of cross contamination seems minimal.

This was a pleasant surprise. Been a long, long time since I've enjoyed fried seafood. I had the fried scallops - absolutely delicious! They use a corn batter for the coating. I'll go back to try to paella bowls, which looked pretty fantastic.

One warning - they do have regular rolls for the lobster roll as well as GF ones. You need to specify.
