They can substitute the noodle in some dishes for gluten free penne. Also offer gluten free focaccia as a starter for free. Staff is very good to make sure everything is gluten free and what can and can’t be made.

Fantastic restaurant and consistently excellent food and service! Ask for Brant’s section.

The gluten free bread is made in house and is phenomenal! Very knowledgeable staff about celiac. Have eaten here dozens of times with no issues.

Il mercato was one of my favourite restaurants pre celiac diagnosis so I was happy to hear they have gluten free options. The server was very knowledgeable and when my items were brought out they were noted to be made “gluten free”. I did sadly have a minor reason afterwards, and hope it was a fluke because it seems this restaurant is taking the correct precautions! Food is delicious as always, maybe be a bit extra cautious as a very sensitive celiac but definitely able to do gluten free options.

Staff very helpful and tons of gluten free options. They seem to take celiac very seriously especially where they are handling a predominant amount of gluten containing menu options.

Fantastic restaurant and very accommodating to Celias. Had a lovely dinner and the menu selection was huge. Reminds me of the Il Fornello chain in Toronto, but better. You won't be disappointed.
