Gluten-Free at Scaddabush Italian Kitchen & Bar

Great experience at this restaurant. All staff members we spoke to were very helpful/knowledgeable about gluten free. The menu indicates that they can make the pizzas, and pastas gluten free for a small up charge (maybe gf hamburger buns too) but nothing else on the menu indicates gf. The waitress indicated they can make anything gf except for fried items. The pizza was really great and so was the pasta that we ordered.

My girlfriend is celiac with several other allergies and they were very attentive and safe. They made her food from scratch and she really enjoyed it and had no reactions. I had glutened rigatoni and penne pesto and Bomba bread and it was all amazing.

Very accommodating for numerous allergies (celiac, milk, allium, spinach, almond, etc). Wait staff and kitchen very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure safety. They made me gf pasta with chicken, tomato sauce, and fresh basil. I was able to have dark chocolate gelato for dessert. Great experience. Non celiac companions enjoyed food.

Had a delicious gluten-free pizza. Prepared in the same oven as the other pizzas BUT they place it on a separate tray with parchment covering and prepare in a different area. They were very knowledge and understood the situation. I am very sensitive and I did not get sick. I got the meat lovers (recommended by our server) and it did not disappoint … pepperoni was so good! I would definitely recommend.

Had very severe reaction after eating here. I was told that the GF pasta was prepared in fresh water and clean pots, but am wondering if the sauce contained gluten and the staff did not know. Would not eat here with celiac disease.

Loved this place! The server was exceptional and very knowledgeable about celiac. The pizza was delicious and they were very accommodating with me being vegetarian as well. I was able to order a pizza and have an item removed and two added to make it perfect.

The gluten free pizza is on the best focaccia bread that I have had outside of Italy. I could eat the crust alone and be very happy. We ate the Diabolo (spicy) and the Mario. Both were excellent. Great service, as well.

I had a great experience. I had the gluten free pizza which was pretty good! Be careful when ordering. They cook ALL their regular pizzas on the same surface in the pizza oven as regular pizza. I asked for mine to be cooked on a clean pan. The crust wasn’t as crispy but I didn’t get sick!

I popped in here for a drink and an app. I had the spinach and artichoke dip with GF bread. It was delicious…. The bread was so good I had to triple check it was GF. I didn’t make me sick, so we are all good!

I recommend popping in this cute place.

The food here is amazing! The focaccia and mozza appies were absolutely delectable for the palate. Pasta was fresh, rich, and savory, with a seamless texture that didn't taste GF. Social salads were refreshing with croutons served on the side. The servers were so kind and assuring about GF protocols. Plus, I noticed there is a fantastic allergen checklist feature you can use if ordering online. To let loose and feel safe felt great - it was the ultimate indulgence.

The staff was extremely accommodating and made sure everything was prepared just so! While the GF menu was limited, and even more so when you’re dairy free, we were able to assemble a tasty meal that met my expectations and food intolerances and allergies.

This was one of those experiences where the food was so good, I was certain they messed up and gave me gluten-y food! Our server Trish was very helpful and made sure to alert the kitchen of my restrictions. My husband and I split a couple things — the Butcher pizza minus the sausage (I’m always leery of sausage) and the Pollo Pesto Penne. Both were amazing. Would definitely return.

This review is specific to the Queensway location. Actually our 2nd visit here as part of a large group. (Our first visit was pre pandemic). We spoke to our waitress and advised her that hubby is celiac. She checked in with the kitchen and came back to advise of options (steak entree, pizza, pasta). No dedicated fryer so she did not recommend. Hubby ordered steak and shrimp (no fries) and we split the mozzarella appy with GF bread. Food was tasty and great portions. We will come back. As with any chain - always speak to your server as it is as safe as they are careful.

Il est bien identifié dans le menu que les pâtes ou les pains hamburger peuvent être modifié pour du sans gluten avec extra de 1$. Ma fille coeliaque a mangé une pizza margherita qu'elle a adoré. La serveuse a été très consciencieuse. Nourriture excellente !

Great experience. Staff very knowledgeable. They offer GF pasta and bread. Meatballs not GF. Homemade mozzarella was amazing. They review the allergies with you after ordering and immediately notify a manager. I had to verify that the bruschetta was actually GF because it tastes so good!!!

Knowledgeable and understanding of Celiac and cross contamination.

We visited this restaurant yesterday. We were a large group with 2 people celiac and 2 on gluten and dairy free diet. The staff was well prepared and made great recommendations. The flatbread with tomatoes was amazing and we all had it. We had salmon fo dinner and it was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not celiac friendly at all We asked about their practices to prevent cross contamination and were told you probably would not want to eat here

Celiac friendly?

No

Manager was extremely friendly and took celiac and allergies seriously. She assured us they took strict protocols to ensure we would be safe so we could relax and enjoy our meal. She oversaw every step of our meals and checked in frequently. If she was unsure of an ingredient, ie. tapioca flour...she checked with us to see if it was safe. Pasta and burger was delicious as well as the flatbread and mozzarella. She did not recommend the gluten free pizza for celiacs. Amazing experience for our daughters birthday!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff seemed careful about gluten, but the food was terrible. They boast about their made to order fresh mozzarella., but it was rubbery and tasteless. The pizza was comically bad, worse than bad frozen pizza. Now that I've seen that other reviewers have had issues, I won't be coming back.

My boyfriend is celiac and severely sensitive to any cross contamination. While we were happy to find that they had a variety of gluten free sauces and pastas, upon further questioning of the staff we found out that they cook the gluten free pasta in the same water as the regular pasta, which would've been enough for him to be in severe pain. We even asked about the burrata with no bread and they said they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be cross-contamination. It may be an option for you depending on how sensitive you are, but it wasn't an option for us.

Celiac friendly?

No

visiting from the states and was glad to find so many options. had the gluten free Bolognese and it is amazing. the wait staff was super helpful when orsering!

Have been twice. First time everything seemed fine. Last night by the end of the meal started to feel unwell. Not sure where contamination occurred - staff seemed very cautious and diligent.

had the penne carbornara it was beautiful. waitress was very helpful and double checked the gf options.

Had the gluten free pizza here as did everyone else I was with and there's something in the dough that makes everyone (apologies in advance for tmi) rather gassy which for me personally is never an issue, don't know what was in it in order for that to happen but it wasn't just me so you have been warned.

I'm so happy we found this place. Great GF pizza options that are amazing. Great ambiance and night life too.

Great Salad next time will try the pasta

Excellent Italian restaurant with gf pizza, pasta and sandwich options. Even has gluten free chicken fingers/fries in the kids menu! Really was an amazing place. Highly recommend it. I can't wait to go back. Their caprese salad is awesome!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
