Best Gluten-Free Places to Eat in Boston (Part 2)

Having lived right outside Boston my entire life, you know that as soon as I got diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago I would be trying every gluten-free option available… Which is why there is a part two (and there will likely be more parts!) Make sure to check out @glutenfree_juliag on instagram to see pictures of the food I get at each restaurant!

Burtons

- - A classic bar and grill with an unwavering commitment to being allergy safe! They have a robust gluten-free menu and you could never tell the difference.
  - Location(s): All across MA and beyond
  - Julia’s Faves: General Tso Cauliflower

Verveine

- - A new cafe opened by the same owner as Faccia Faccia, Verveine is 100% gluten-free and the place to bring your friend who doesn’t believe that gluten-free can be good. The bread is unreal and the pastries are unique and delicious! I wish they had a location right next to my house.
  - Location(s): Cambridge
  - Julia’s Faves: Spicy Chili Biscuit, Strawberry Galette

Piattini

- Casual and delicious Italian food with many gluten-free options. I love the shape of their gluten-free pasta and they even have ravioli!
- Location(s): Newbury Street
- Julia’s Faves: Wild Mushroom Ravioli, Fig and Prosciutto Pizza

730 Tavern

- - Another casual pub where most of the menu can be made gluten-free! The servers are so nice and they even do events.
  - Location(s): Mass Ave Cambridge
  - Julia’s Faves: Buffalo Chicken Queso Dip, Grilled Salmon

Silver Dove Tea

- The most magical dedicated gluten-free afternoon tea experience. My family and I can’t get enough - we try to go each season to get a taste of the different menus!
- Location(s): Tremont Street Boston
- Julia’s Faves: White Peach or Oolong Tea

Cobblestones

- - A great breakfast and lunch spot with casual atmosphere and deep knowledge of celiac! My sandwich was made in a separate area with separate knives and I can’t wait to visit again.

La Famiglia Giorgio's

  - Julia’s Faves: Pasta with Matriciana Sauce

Toscano
