Love Rustico! The risotto tots are incredible, and the vodka pizza has quickly become a fan favorite. Can’t recommend enough!

Gluten free items were helpfully marked on the menu. I had the risotto tots and a white pizza on the gluten free crust. The crust is chickpea, which has a distinct flavor, but I liked it. They labeled their ciders and gf beer on the menu as well.

The food and service at Rustico were terrible. 90% of the GF options marked on the menu are NOT actually GF. Everything in the “shareable” section is cooked in a shared fryer with gluten food. The only safe thing to eat is salad. They also serve their entrees on reusable wooden block plates (which absorb gluten even when cleaned). They brought out potatoes on a ceramic plate which they told me they had the chef pan cook, but they definitely just brought out fried ones (which I could clearly see on arrival so I didn’t touch them). If you have celiac disease DO NOT eat here. I ended up getting sick from the breakfast entree I ordered (eggs Benedict on a gluten free roll). I will never go back here or recommend it to anyone I know with an allergy.

Definitely celiac friendly. I have celiac and ate the chickpea crust pizza with no issues. We ordered the mushroom and goat cheese pizza which was amazing! Very flavorful! It’s so rare to find gourmet gluten free pizza.

Chickpea pizza is great. Delicious and no reaction! Staff is very knowledgeable
Yes
I love their pizza and the fact that they always ask if I have a gluten allergy or just preference. The chickpea crust pizzas are prepared in a separate area of the restaurant. I have never gotten sick. Great for take out but nice ambience for sit down dinner
Yes
Yes they have a gluten free pizza made from chickpeas but that is basically the only real gluten free option. The seasonal menus have few to no other gluten free items.
No
Had an amazing salmon dish but haven't tried the pizza due to fear of cross-contamination.
No
The best gluten-free pizza I have ever had! The chickpea crust is delicious! They also have a good selection of gluten free beers, including my personal favorite, Omission Beer. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Arlington!
Yes
Beet salad was good. I asked if one appetizer had breading on it, the server said no but when it came to the table, it was covered in breading. Be careful. Chick Pea Pizza crust was too dense and dry.
Delicious food; I don't hesitate to eat here.
The “GF” beer carried here is actually “gluten reduced,” not gluten free. So be aware before ordering!! The food (some of it marked GF) is very tasty.

I live nearby and frequently go to Rustico. They have GF beer, knowledgable staff and delicious food. I am very sensitive to CC and have never had a problem or reaction at Rustico. The chickpea crust pizza is good hot, but a little dry.
Yes
Our server was very knowledgeable about the GF options. The carrot hummus is great!!! I wish I like the chickpea pizza crust more, but it's too heavy. Toppings are good. They have several GF beers to choose from.
