Safe but gluten free taste is an afterthought. Pizza crust is standard thin frozen that you find at most pizzerias, chicken parm is grilled rather than breaded and fried (which was not noted by the waitress when we ordered), salads and apps were gf when bread and croutons were eliminated (and not replaced by anything). The flavors were good but there is much better gf Italian and pizza in nyc area for this price point!

This place was amazing! The owner came up to us and explained the celiac precautions they take - all pizza and pasta are prepared separately to ensure no cross contamination. Will definitely be coming back!

One of my favorite gf pizza spots in Brooklyn! The salads and pasta are amazing, too. I’ve dined in the restaurant and gotten takeout multiple times and have never gotten sick.

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff with great service in nice location
Salads were delicious
I had gf vodka pizza which is hard to find
Crust was not spectacular but overall pizza was good due to fresh cheese and sauce
Non gf family members loved their meals.

Great gluten free thin crust pizza! Waiter told us it’s the best pizza in the city (not sure about that) but one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve had in a long time. Cozy spot perfect for a date night!

I ordered takeout from here for the first time based on reviews. It felt like a bold move, but the food was great and they even sent a free dessert! I noted “celiac” in the comments and they really delivered.

I had a fantastic meal here. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu items that were safe for me, and the food was awesome. The artichoke appetizer blew my mind and my husband was unexpectedly obsessed with the delicata squash salad. The pizza crust wasn't the best, but the toppings made up for it. Barano is a gem.

Had a delicious dinner here. The menu is clearly labelled and the waitstaff was knowledgable about cross-contamination. We split the artichoke, a gf pizza, and steak and it was all great. Would definitely come back.

I had the let it rain pizza twice this weekend because it was so good. The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and cc. The pizzas are cooked on a separate tray AND they even had a chocolate tart dessert made with almond flour. SO GOOD!

They have outdoor seating. If you take the ferry, it’s a short walk along the water to get there. The hours are now: Tues - Thurs 12pm till 10pm, Friday and Saturday 12pm till 11pm. Check their website to confirm. GF pizza is extra thin but tasty. Service is very friendly. Servers are knowledgeable about steps taken to prevent cross contamination.

More than half the menu can be made gluten free, and the server noted celiac at the top of our order ticket. The sausage and broccoli rabe pie was so good, thin crispy crust.

They are very knowledgeable about cross contamination. I told them I had celiac and they immediately told me all the safety precautions they take in the kitchen. Make sure you tell them you have celiac and they will prepare your food separately. I had the pizza which was SO good!! My non-gf boyfriend loved it as well. We definitely plan to go back!

Menu is clearly marked, about half of the items can be made gf. I had the branzino and my gf had the steak, both were excellent.
Another member of our party has a nut allergy and the wait staff was extremely attentive to confirm that the cannolis did not contain pistachios.
