Wienstein & Gavino's

They had gf pasta and pizza on the menu but told me there was a significa chance of cross contamination. I was advised to order a salad, which also was odd - just a bunch of veggies covered in balsamic vinegar and oil, no lettuce, for $20.

Definitely not celiac safe. Gluten friendly options but wouldn’t recommend if you are very reactive or very sensitive. Be really articulate when ordering as there is no gluten free bread.

It's ok, the food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. And the gf pasta I had (bolognese) smelled.

Great experience. They have GF pasta and pizza crust. I explained my wheat and dairy allergy to server and checked with kitchen. They recommended the pasta as the GF pizza is in same oven as regular pizzas, even tho they do put them in their own tray and separate levels of the oven. For many that may not be q concern, for me it is. So I had the pasta and it was delicious. I also had the arugula salad w no cheese and it was delish. No issues. The server was very careful and diligent.

Extensive gluten sensitive options, delicious gluten free pizza crust and great pasta dishes that can be made with gf penne (for what it’s worth, it was cooked to perfection! No overdone mushy gf pasta here!). Wait staff wasn’t particularly forthcoming with information but other reviews say be careful if celiac!

They had a separate GF-menu which was promising. After I told the wait staff that I was celiac and needed to ensure that my meal be strictly GF, I felt reassured as there were good reviews on here. One HOUR later, our food never showed up. I had to flag the attention of the wait staff and they promptly apologized and told me that it would be right out. Mind you, I went during the slow period so the wait was rather unexpected. I chalked it up to taking extra precautions to avoid cross-contamination. Alas, that was not the case and I had symptoms shortly after my meal. Would not recommend if Celiac or in general.

Food here was incredible! I got the gluten free pizza and it was the best gluten free crust I have had! Just to note.. I only have an intolerance, I do not have celiacs. Their separate menu reads “gluten sensitive” so I would call ahead to ask about cross contamination if you have Celiacs.

The staff wasn’t very friendly! I ordered a GF pizza to go. Was never asked if I would like a drink, while waiting over 30 minutes at the bar. Then ended up getting sick on the ride home. Thinking it was food poisoning. Would never go back!!

Separate gluten free menu. However, they specifically state that they recommend their food for people eating gf for the lifestyle only. They did not recommend for those with celiac. That said, the gf pasta and a salad with grilled chicken were delicious.

Amazing good! Knowledgeable staff! Separate menu. Eat here!!

They have enough GF options for one to join someone who wishes to dine at this restaurant. I had a salmon dish served over vegetables (with no pasta).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the pasta Gigi! Delicious. GF menu had several options.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are very few options when it comes to eating with allergies in Montreal. The GF menu (mainly pasta dishes) is for 'lifestyle' customers and not particularly for allergies. I ordered plain/dry GF pasta and requested olive oil on the side to ensure my pasta was in fact GF. Although it was a very plain meal I did not get sick, and would recommend using caution when eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went there because of positive GF review. Waiter and manager both made aggressive warnings about ordering GF for someone with an allergy. They said their GF options were for 'lifestyle' customers. Impossible to recommend to someone with any kind of allergy based on our experience. Very confusing why they wouldn't take proper precautions and do things the right way.

Celiac friendly?

Great new gluten free menu Pizza. Pasta. Soups. Such tummy food and no tummy ache!
