Acova

Amazing restaurant. Owner has celiac so there are separate prep areas and fryers for GF. Fish and chips is especially good. The fried chicken looked incredible too. There are GF desserts too. You’ll be in great hands here. Safe for celiacs. Very approachable menu and hip restaurant and location. Perfect for date night, families, etc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you are celiac this is the place to go. Its cute, staff was great and the owner is Celiac. This is the best place in Denver we ate the whole trip.

Amazing!! Dinner (fried chicken and gravy) and dessert (berry cobbler) was out of this world. It is soo nice to have some GF options that really feed the soul!! Everything was clearly marked as GF; I experienced no illness or symptoms of being “glutened.” Highly recommended and can be delivered to your hotel via GrubHub. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Most of the menu is gluten free and absolutely delicious. Got the fish and chips, apple donuts, and noodle salad. The donuts and the fish have the perfect crisp crust. 10000% recommend!!!

I absolutely loved Acova. Everyone was so nice. Going out to eat is usually pretty stressful, but I felt so comfortable here. basically everything on their menu is GF or had a GF alternative. The waiter told me the owner has Celiacs too so they take very careful precautions. And when they brought my food, they made sure to mention mine was gluten free, I didn’t even have to ask just in case. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu!

All their fryers do gluten free. Various fries and fried fish and fried chicken. No cross contamination issues. Fish and chips were decent tasting and filling. I have had better. They use gf beer and I was never a fan of beer. I would have liked more fish and less fries. Overall decent flavor abd filling. A bit pricy but it is Denver.

I loved this place! I never eat out at undedicated restaurants because I’m ridiculously sensitive to cross contamination, but while visiting Denver and reading the reviews I went ahead and tried it. I am SO glad I did. The owner has celiac and has several precautions set in place to prevent cross contamination. While ordering, the staff were beyond accommodating and really reassured me that I would be safe eating their food and I had no reaction! 110% recommend this place and everything on the menu.

Awesome!! Crab cakes came with two very small cakes but were delicious.. just definitely not enough for even a small meal! Dixie chicken on the brunch menu was a great value for the price. My husband got the prime rib sandwich on regular bread but im sure it would be great on GF bread too! Overall, awesome little spot for brunch/lunch. We made a reservation on OpenTable which was a must with covid restrictions on a busy weekend!

The waitress was gluten free as well and could answer all my questions. I tried the fried chicken, crab cake and green Chile soup. All so amazing, definitely coming back.

The gluten-free dishes and those that have gluten-free options are very clearly marked on the menu. They have a wide variety of options and everything we had (appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 desserts) was outstanding.

My wife was recently diagnosed with celiac and has been very down about all of the things that she can’t eat anymore. This restaurant has so many GF and GFO selections that she felt like a queen - there were so many good options that she had a hard time deciding. The food was great, the service was amazing (thank you, Sam!) and we will definitely be back.

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been here 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Almost everything can be made gluten free or is already made gluten free and I never have any stomach issues after I leave. Met the owner who has celiac and she is extremely dedicated to making sure all items that are noted or requested gluten free are prepared with extra precaution since she knows what it’s like. Highly recommended

Great food. Dedicated fryer, knowledgeable staff. This is a great little local spot for tasty food. Crab cakes and Tuna Tostadas are really good off the appetizer menu. Beef shortribs and the fried chicken are great off the entree menu. Worth the drive!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We loved this place! Many of the servers are Celiac so they are very knowledgeable. The gluten free prime rib with au jus was memorable. Great fries (always GF) Fun cocktails. Didn’t have room for desserts but those looked amazing too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband surprised me with a reservation here for Valentine’s Day.

This place was such a wonderful surprise!

I have missed having new celiac safe places to eat out… Now I have a new restaurant to come by and try lots and lots and lots of GF options.

We had the the pork nachos as an appetizer and they were big enough to share - but I wanted to have more! So We had the fish and chips- Which were so light and flaky and tender. The fried chicken she said was one of the most often ordered items in the restaurant and the gravy on top of the mashed potatoes was amazing!

I am not embarrassed to say that I started my meal with dessert and had the apple donuts

The owner is celiac!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had NYE dinner here with my wife. I’m a Celiac and she’s dairy free. The server was very knowledgeable about food preparation and ingredients. Whatever she wasn’t sure about she checked with the kitchen/owner. The hot wings are awesome and the spare rib was super tender and flavorful. They have only one deep frier and no gluten ever goes into it. Score! This place is legit and safe for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. My mind was blown by the gluten free fried chicken. The soup was great as well and the owner came around to check on tables. This is a great spot to check out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Acova gave my and my husband a great place to meet up with our former neighbors without worrying about cross contact. I ordered an Acova burger with sweet potato fries and crab cakes for an appetizer. I didnt have to worry about anything on my plate being wrong. I did return a drink because it came with a paper straw. The owner came by and told us that the paper straws were gluten free---she is celiac and she made sure to order the correct straws.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant is amazing! I can’t wait to go back! We had GF pasta bolognese with garlic bread, cauliflower steak, ahi tuna, and the best chicken wings I’ve had in ages!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great find, food is delicious, service was great, and as others have stated, Celiac aware. Didn't get sick, I had the Tamale Hash. We went for brunch, totally booked, sat at the bar, which is fine with us, but if you want a table, I recommend calling in a reservation.

BEST Gf restaurant I have ever been to. They aren’t 100% GF, but a large portion of the menu is or can be made that way. Very knowledgeable about Celiac. I had the chicken, my dad had the fish and chips. I tried both and didn’t get sick, and I’m super sensitive. They have a dedicated fryer. The entire place has a wonderful atmosphere, and the food is delicious. I recommend this to everyone!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had a great dinner here. It was nice that almost all menu selections were GF, including fried chicken and fish and chips. As other have said, the owner is Celiac and was very friendly. She even gave us a free dessert! The environment was great as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable and understanding of Celiac disease. Staff explained protocols before I started asking questions and covered everything I was going to ask.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic restaurant! Owners are Celiac and all menu items are GF. Great kids menu. Cannot recommend enough.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Almost everything on the menu is either GF or can be modified to be GF. My husband was able to have fried chicken, one of his all-time favorites! And we shared this incredible fried apple doughnut dessert. As others have said, one of the owners has celiac and so does their son. They know how to prepare safe food and their staff are extremely knowledgeable. My daughter lives in the area and commented that the prices were some of the most reasonable they have found.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many options to choose from, and delicious. The fish and chips in particular.

What a gem this place is. The ambience is awesome, the decor is so hip and cool. Betsy is the owner and has celiac disease, so the menu is perfect for someone with celiac. Tons of options, all safe, the waitress (Katherine ) was very familiar with gluten-free dining and cross-contamination. We had delicious fried chicken, nachos, Caesar salad. I wish we had more time to go back a second time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The calamari was to die for and the cider was nice and dry, just how I like it 😊

Wow. Just wow. The service was amazing. I met the owner and she is lovely, has celiac and was so reassuring, kind and attentive! Try the GF apple donuts. I could eat them for every meal. Also, has a sensory play area for kids!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was awesome! Owner has Celiac so I had no worries that my meal was safe. Tons of gf options (almost everything on the menu), even desserts! I was too stuffed to try dessert, but I will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fish and chips was arguably better than from most other "full gluten" restaurants. One of my favorite restaurants in Denver now!

Most items on their menu either are gluten free or can be made gluten free. Staff was v very knowledgeable and helpful. We had the wings - the honey Chipotle sauce was phenomenal, and the beer cheese dip. Both were very good, I would definitely go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable. Owner is celiac!

My favorite gf restaurant! So many options for brunch and dinner. Love the fried chicken and biscuits. And the apple donuts for dessert.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I met Betsy, an owner who has celiac as does her son. I chose fish & chip. All fryers are dedicated gluten free. All sandwiches can be GF. There are also many vegan options Prices are good with one side included.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

ONE OF THE BEST PLACES I HAVE COME ACROSS!! 10/10. I have very sensitive celiac and will only eat at 4 places. Betsy, the owner, has celiac disease herself, and came out to talk to me before my food came. Not only was she so sweet, but she reassured me that this is a place where celiacs are welcome! All of the friers are gluten free, which is a celiacs dream! Will be back, for sure.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their fryers are completely Gluten-Free and they have ton's of Gluten Free Options on the menu!
