Bernini's Bistro

Had gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza, which I always look for. I went with the pasta and it was great. I believe some of the entrees were labeled gluten free as well. Cute atmosphere too (outdoor and indoor seating) in a great part of San Diego. Make sure you see the seals and sea lions at the cover nearby!

Unsure of safety. Did answer questions about gf foods and checked when didn’t know. Wouldn’t make the trip if all in party wants gf. But food was good, and good atmosphere. Pleasant and friendly staff.

This is behind the Vons market in downtown La Jolla with ample patio seating and they are dog friendly for the patio. They offer GF pizza as well as massive salads, seafood and other Italian fare-there's great GF variety. Service was good, the drinks menu is also good (inc both alcoholic and non alcoholic), and it is a lovely setting. Reservations recommended. I did not get sick and I've been there 3 times now. This is the best GF pizza I've eaten anywhere and they make their own crust.

I've eaten here a couple of times, the food is really good. As mentioned before the staff leaves you feeling like your taking a gamble on if it will be safe. So far 4 celiac's have enjoyed it with no issues other than delicious food. They do have gluten free noodles, but do not have a menu saying whats safe or not regular or dedicated.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the chicken piccatta with sauteed spinach and butternut squash. It was good, but the flavors of the butternut squash were just weird when paired with the chicken and spinach. Service was amazing. Met a wonderful lady there, who was our waitress. We really enjoyed chatting with her. My husband had a regular meal, Shrimp Diavola, that he said was amazing and talked about for days!

only reason for 4 ★ is that they are lacking detailed menu with detail on what is/can be gluten free and the waiter wasn't someone who inspired confidence. Food was absolutely delicious - had the chicken piccata with mashed potatoes and butternut squash.... truly awesome. the hubby had a non-GF meal that he said was very good. would definitely eat here a lot if I lived in the area.

Great gf options with good knowledge of menu items. Had the awesome beet salad but many choices!

All pasta dishes can be made GF. Food was good.

Excellent seafood and GF pasta and you must try the spumoni.
