I have been here for brunch and dinner and both have been great! For dinner they have a separate GF menu with lots of options for appetizers and meals, and they have GF rolls. Staff was super reassuring and knowledgeable. Definitely will be going back.

Pricey but I went out to eat on NYE here & they had an AMAZING selection and separate menu. They did bring out bread in the beginning but they had a dedicated fryer and most items could be made gf. I had a seafood pasta and fried calamari!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of my favorite places to eat in all of Providence!! Feel so safe and food so delicious. The gluten free rolls they serve are delicious. They are also very accommodating of my nut allergy.

Went there tonight for my anniversary. The food was great but about 90 minutes later i began to have a gluten reaction. Disappointing.

Celiac friendly?

No

Weird place. Appears to be fine dining but didn't meet the standard. Cocktails poorly made, had to be sent back. My GF carbonara was raw egg on cold penne, which made me feel sick and tasted about like you'd expect. It was nice to have a large GF menu, but the execution was lackluster. The GF rolls were good at least.

Huge GF menu. Very conscious of cross contamination. They get all their buns, crostini’s, and croutons from A and J. Had calamari, charcuterie, and crostini’s to start. Veal for main course. Ate a ton of GF rolls. No room for dessert. 10/10 will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Huge gluten free menu, almost as big as the normal menu. I had the gluten free gnocchi and it was incredible. They also make their own gluten free rolls which were amazing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was excited to eat at this restaurant due to the positive reviews and “best restaurant” award, but we had a terrible experience. Waited an hour and a half for food, so many fruit flies in the bar area that kept landing in our drinks, and AC dripping down onto us. The food didn’t redeem the place. I had dry and burnt chicken parm and I became sick shortly after eating just less than half the meal

Celiac friendly?

No

I selfishly reserved a table here for my boyfriends birthday because the reviews for their gluten free menu were all glowing. I was not let down, not only were their gluten free options amazing but my bf also complimented the food and even said he preferred my gluten free bread rolls to his normal ones. This restaurant nailed the whole gf thing - I highly, highly recommend.

GF menu extensive, not just a couple options. GF penne carbonara, was delicious! Had side of broccoli rabe. Will definitely go back.

We went for lunch during Providence Restaurant Week and were assured that the gluten free specials were prepared just as carefully as the same dishes on the full price gluten free menu. Warm gluten free rolls were the best I’ve had, and every dish was superb. Appetizer, entree and dessert was too much food for us, so we took home enough food for a light supper and it was even delicious warmed over!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious and our evening was wonderful, but after being assured by our waiter that everything was gluten free I DEFINITELY had a reaction. I asked specifically if each item was gluten free, but I also ordered off the specials menu so something could have messed up there.

No

Gluten free menu. Knowledgeable staff. Best gluten-free rolls I have ever tasted — almost custardy. The food was great, but I would return just for the rolls.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a gluten allergy. The staff was amazing and highly knowledgeable. An the food was absolutely delicious!

We stopped here for lunch on a weekday. They have a dedicated gluten free menu, but only for dinner time. Our server and the chefs were very knowledgeable and able to make us gluten free dishes that were delicious. Their gluten free rolls were the best we’ve ever had. You MUST try them! We had three GF dishes: risotto, chicken Parmesan and some basic pasta w/ sauce. All delicious. We highly recommend Massimo if you are in Providence!

Best gf buns ever!!! Love the gluten free chicken Parmesan. Very good with allergies and very knowledgeable staff!

Visited for restaurant week! The server was very familiar with gluten free/celiac. We were given delicious gluten free rolls. They didn’t have a gluten free dessert on their restaurant week menu but substituted gluten free cheese cake (could also get gelato or sorbet) for no additional cost. The gluten free gnocchi was out of this world. Absolutely awesome experience and worth the money any day.

I had a great gluten free dining experience here. Dining out at new restaurants is typically a stressful experience for me, due to the risks of cross contamination. The staff here took my allergy seriously and I did not have a reaction! Bonus points for offering GF rolls (which were very good)! I look forward to returning.

Went tonight for our first time. The food was delicious and our servers were great. The GF menu was extensive. After seeing I had the GF menu, our server told me he'd pop some GF rolls into the oven for me. They came out warm and delicious! We ordered the GF calamari, which was wonderful, and I got the GF Gnocchi Alforno with Chicken. Gnocchi is something I've really missed since being diagnosed and this was amazing!!! Couldn't even tell it was GF. For dessert we split the Cheesecake (which is GF... No crust) and the Gelato Sundae GF style. Both were super yummy! I'm so happy to have found a restaurant close by that is so Celiac Friendly and delicious. And I didn't find the prices too bad. We'll definitely be going back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Make sure to ask for a GF menu. We had such a great time here. I had the calamari, which they deep fried in a pan to ensure no cross contamination (everything on the gf menu which is fried gets this treatment). It was amazing.

My meal came with toasted Udi's rolls as well. I felt really safe given that the bartender double checked everything, as well as the measures they took to avoid cross contamination. Great cocktails and a fun, classy date vibe as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, as well as friendly, and attentive. Large variety of gluten free salads, entrees and even desserts. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing place, by far my favorite gluten free restaurant. Have so many amazing options, like gf gnocchi! Staff is super knowledgeable too.

AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend to anyone with celiac out gluten allergy!!

What a nice meal. If I wasn't vacationing I would have gotten the gnocchi and chicken parm,and took 3/4 home. I was missing Chix parm so I went there. Very tasty and a big portion. Gave some to non gf hubby, and he wanted ( and ate) seconds. The gf rolls were so good. I stopped at 2 or I wouldn't have eaten dinner. No room to try anything else.
