Beneventos

**Edit** unfortunately, sneakily in the night. I had been glutened. I’ll spare you the details but it woke me up from sleep multiple times. This makes me sad as the food had been delicious, but I am sure I ate nothing else that could be possibly gluten that day. I’m willing to acknowledge this could be an accident.

Arrive after a long walk around Boston, we were seated immediately. Our server Jenn was incredibly friendly, and well informed on the menu (especially its gluten free aspect). She verified any other allergies at the table, and food was brought quickly. Honestly the best pasta I’ve had since getting diagnosed with celiac, the Alfredo sauce was to die for. I did notice a few of my noodles had that fall apart aspect that GF noodles can have, but it was only 2 bites at best of the the large portions.

Jenn recommended the garlic bread, which was made with in house dough (a sentence that brought a tear to my eye). It needed salt for full flavors, but the thin crust was wonderful as an app and to dip in the Alfredo sauce I got. This also allowed me to get pasta, while still getting a taste of what pizza could be as they use the same dough.

Highly recommended and would come back to Boston for only this meal again, but after being glutened I would be cautious.

Safely enjoyed some delicious pasta here! They seemed knowledgeable about allergens and had lots of options. I will say the gf pasta wasn’t the highest quality, but the sauce was delicious. Good spot if you want tasty Italian food in the North End!

As a north end resident, this is my favorite restaurant for celiacs! They cook everything to perfection and are very safe with cross contamination. Pizzas are all in individual aluminum pans so they don’t touch other pizzas in the oven. Chicken Marsala is the best! GF bread is available but at an additional cost of $10, which is a lot.

We went there due to the recommendations off of this app. Small place but easy to find. I had the gluten free carbonara gnocchi which were delicious. Slightly too salty but I think it was because of the pancetta. Huge portion could not finish it all. I was torn between a couple different sauces but could recommend the carbonara. My parents aren’t celiac so they had a regular pizza and spinach cheese ravioli (my mom said these are the best ravioli she’s ever had and she’s been to Italy probably more times than she can count)

I was very happy with my gnocchi, super delicious. Had no problems with my celiac.

Not bad! The GF “garlic bread” is not worth the $10…it’s just a thin, tough GF pizza crust baked with oil or butter and garlic sprinkled on top. GF pasta was good.

The gluten free garlic bread was basically the gluten free pizza bread with a sprinkling of garlic on top…for $8. Our pesto pizza had much more cheese than pesto. Lots of GF offerings, but not worth it. Safety seems okay, I haven’t had a reaction.

I loved this place because they accommodated my gluten intolerance and my allium allergies for years. But my last two visits weren’t great. The most recent one caused me to get really sick. I’m so bummed out.

Service was not good, attitude was the biggest issue, and this meant she cared not at all about my food issues. She screwed up my order and then acted as though it was an inconvenience to her to have it corrected. I’m also a server, and can say her handling of her mistake was not okay.

They do have really good GF gnocchi and GF crust for pizza. But if you’re celiac I proceed with caution t as I don’t think they’re too careful. But others may disagree. Might’ve just been my servers the last two visits. The pre covid crew rocked!

First of all. This place is amazing. Specifically the gnocchi and pizza were both unreal (don’t listen to the other reviews). But I have to mention. The garlic bread??! DO NOT order. It was the thinnest little crust with a little bit of garlic and olive oil on top. Garlic crust. Not good. The Bruschetta was also unreal. All in all yes come here but stay away from the garlic bread

What a great place to stop for lunch in the North End. They offer gluten free pasta, gnocchi, and pizza. I had their pizza and it was fantastic. A lot of their menu can be modified to accommodate GF. Not a dedicated gf kitchen but they took precautions and it was very safe.

Mediocre pizza…. I think frozen gf pizzas are better. This establishment is not pet friendly, even when we asked for outdoor seating. The waiters were average and were not to kind. I am very Disappointed, and do not recommend this restaurant. I have seen WAY better gluten free pizza restaurant. I am putting this restaurant at the bottom of my list.

Great food! They offer many gluten free items including pasta, gnocchi, salads, Garlic bread, bruschetta, and most meat dishes. I had the fog and coat cheese salad and the pesto gnocchi. So good. So creamy.

I’ve never had gnocchi before coming here. It was LIFE CHANGING. I actually can’t get over how good it was. The kitchen seemed very allergen aware and I had no issues. I can’t wait to go back.

We went here for Valentine’s Day after reading so many good reviews. We arrived 10 minutes early and waited outside for 20 to be seated, but I understood it was Valentine’s Day so they were busy. They seemed to be more attentive to the Uber eats drivers than to the people standing in the cold waiting for tables. Once seated, I notified my waitstaff that I had celiac and asked for a gluten free menu. She told me that I can have anything I want and they would substitute the pasta for a gluten free version. This was a little concerning as I know that some things wouldn’t likely be gluten free. There was no further explanation on options, no gluten free menu, and nothing labeled FF on the regular menu. We were not offered the option to order appetizers; the waitress only asked what we wanted for entrees. After ordering, we waited for an hour for our food. In the meantime, I used the restroom and while waiting my turn, I saw a staff member preparing food with her bare hands after shuffling around in a fridge. This made me uncomfortable, especially during an ongoing pandemic. When the food arrived, my food was not marked gluten free and no one stated that it was when they placed it in front of me, further adding to my anxiety. I ordered the chicken Marsala and thankfully, did not get sick. It was tasty but very watery. The chicken was extremely dry and tough. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my drink and was never asked if we needed anything during the meal. When we were done eating, the waitress asked if we wanted anything else. I asked if they had any gluten free desserts, to which she responded, “we don’t have any desserts.” The bill came and it was over $100 (not including tip) for a mediocre meal with poor service. As I was leaving I noticed that the staff were not even Italian. When I come to the north end, my expectations are high that I get a quality, safe, authentic Italian meal. I will not be returning to this restaurant when so many others offer so much more.

I ordered their gluten free pizza that I had heard only good things about, with peppers and onions. I specified it was an allergy to the server. My food looked and tasted delicious. However, about a half hour later I became violently ill and was sick for the next three days. Will not be returning. Sad because I’ve heard so many good things about this restaurant.

We went here because of the previous reviews. My 6yo Celiac son ordered a gf cheese pizza. I had called ahead and they indicated they did cook the gf pasta on a separate pot and that pizzas were made on a separate tin/foil. We thought our son would get a real mozzarella and basil type pizza and warned him of this, but the pizza just looked like Udi’s. While he didn’t get sick, the food the rest of us had wasn’t amazing for the North End. Maybe if he was older he’d have been given more fresh ingredients on his pizza. We may try again and be more specific next time, but as he didn’t get sick, I’m giving this an ok rating.

This seriously is the best restaurant I have been to, I love it here. They have gf pizza and then gf gnocchi and gf penne made fresh that you can add whatever sauce you want to. I’m unsure on their cross contamination but I have celiac and have never gotten sick from this place.
