Zola Bistro

No gluten free menu, but server did give gluten free options.

There is no clear understanding of needing to be gluten free. They brought gluten free bread with regular bread on the same plate. This tells me the kitchen is not careful either.

I was hesitant to eat here because of all the bad reviews but I actually had a decent experience. They have gluten free pasta and gluten free bread for sandwiches. Many of their main entres are gluten free or can be made gluten free too. The waitress told me they have a separate toaster for the gluten free bread. I didn’t ask about the fries. I ordered the pene Chianti sauce with the gf pasta and it was very good. The only issue was our food took a long time to come out, the waitress said the gluten free pasta took longer to cook.

Horrible service. Server told me they knew what was gluten free and obviously didn’t. Got sick from my appetizers which were supposed to be GF. Then ordered a dish which had farro on side which I asked them to remove because it isn’t GF, they brought out the farro claiming it was GF. Had to show them google for a means of them to remake. Overall horrible experience for anyone with gluten allergy or not. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Not gluten free!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is not gluten free. I used to work work here and they don't have a protocol for gluten allergies, let alone celiac disease. The crepe station is in the same area as the salad station. You could probably get an omelette with potatoes because the omelettes are pan cooked and the potatoes are cooked in large batches on the grill, not deep fried. No dedicated fryer, so the French fries are not gluten free. Food is ok, just don't go here if you have celiac disease.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place has a few options but be warned the buckewheat crepes are NOT gluten free. They do use smal amount of wheat when making them. I noticed someone else tried them and said they were but I've asked and have a friend who works there and they are NOT GLUTEN FREE.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was excited to try a new place but honestly would not go here again. No gf menu or anything marked on the menu. The waitress was clueless and didn't seem willing to help. She claimed one salad "might be safe" and suggested it without dressing. I was scared to eat there but took the plain salad and picked at it. If I would have been alone I would have left but was with a coworker.

Celiac friendly?

No

Zola has a great atmosphere and unique food. The first time I went there I got a buckwheat crepe and it was just too savory for me but the crepe was gluten free and just fine. I think if I'd gotten a sweet one I would've enjoyed it more. The chai's and milkshakes are very good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
