Steak 44
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
“The most expensive steak I’ve ever had but the best fancy date night! The servers are incredibly knowledgeable about what main course and side options are gluten free. I had a steak with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. They will even talk to the chef for you. Free dessert on your birthday! Not a ton of dessert options are gluten free but they can always do ice cream.”

Roka Akor
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
“We love Roka Akor. This is one of our favorite places to go. They have limited nuts on the menu and no peanuts (I don’t believe). They also have a lot of non-dairy and non-egg options. When we are concerned about something here they always double check for us and leave nothing to chance. The food is amazing too!”

Houston’s
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
“We recently got take out from here, and were amazed how careful they were and well they responded to our allergen requests. When we asked about certain menu items they gave us options on how they could prepare it differently for us (i.e. without butter and what oil choices they had). They made sure to use separate utensils to prepare our food, and the food here is amazing as well! Note: they don’t have a dedicated prep area here so cross-contamination while minimized with utensils, new gloves, etc., could still be an issue for some.”

The Capital Grille
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
“We recently got take out from here, and were amazed how careful they were and well they responded to our allergen requests. When we asked about mustard, they went and checked what items were cooked on the same surfaces, etc to let us know if cross contamination was possible. They told us what items had dairy (and butter without being asked). They made sure to use separate utensils to prepare our food and packaged everything in a separate area! We were very impressed, and had no problems with our delicious meal!”

Bello by Sandro Nardone
Location: Newport Beach, California
“When I discovered this restaurant, I went there at least 4 times in 10 days. The food is delicious and authentic. The Michelin star chef is always there and makes sure every dish comes out perfectly. Both children can eat safely, but let them know before hand that way they can prepare!”

Duke’s Huntington Beach
Location: Huntington Beach, California
“Duke’s has lots of nuts on the menu (they are known for their macadamia nuts), but I have eaten safely here multiple times and at different locations! The chef came out and spoke to me and explained he would make all components of the dish himself in a separate area of the kitchen. I got steak, mashed potatoes and cooked veggies, and the chef came back to check in and explain he would make the mashed potatoes from scratch specifically for me to avoid any cross contamination that may have occurred from the already cooked pot in the kitchen!”

Caffe Allegro
Location: La Verne, California
“Ate here with my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary dinner! I called ahead and when we checked in for our reservation they already had my peanut and gluten allergies listed. We were seated, and when our waitress arrived at our table for drinks, I mentioned my allergies, and she said “Thank you so much for letting me know. The hostess already made me aware that I was serving someone with a severe peanut allergy!” Thought this was so cool! I ordered the spaghetti bolognese with gluten free pasta, and she showed me on the order how she wrote “Severe peanut allergy!!!!! Use separate pans – no cross contact!!!!” in bold letters with lots of exclamation points. Our food was so delicious and safe!”

Pacific Catch
Location: Dublin, California
“Had such a great experience here! I read online that their menu is nut-free – the waiter wasn’t 100% confident in this, but I didn’t see anything on the menu with nuts and was able to order anything! I think the confusion was that they occasionally have specials with macadamia nuts, but there was nothing listed on the menu currently containing nuts! They have a separate gluten-free menu that they will bring to the table if you ask which was super helpful because the main menu wasn’t super clear about gluten free options. I let our waiter know of my allergies and shared the gluten-free chips and guac and two of their gluten-free sushi rolls! They also brought over gluten-free soy sauce!”

Baci Bistro and Bar

“This is a fancy Italian restaurant in Downtown Pleasanton! They have gluten-free pasta and are pretty knowledgable about gluten-free options on the menu. They have some tree nuts on the menu (mainly almonds and walnuts) in several of the entrees and salads. I told our waiter my allergies, and he wrote them down to inform the kitchen. I wouldn’t say they were extremely allergy aware, but I ate there safely and would definitely go back!”

They have an allergy menu online and are super consistent across all the Bay Area locations I have visited! They have gluten-free crust and dairy-free cheese and will take precautions to avoid cross-contact with gluten! Their food is also so good! I am obsessed with the prosciutto and arugula pizza!”

Location: Pleasanton, California
“Amazing Mediterranean food in Downtown Pleasanton! This is a pretty fancy restaurant and great for birthday parties, date nights, etc! They also have a bar. There are GF symbols on the menu so it’s super easy to know what’s gluten-free. For nuts, there are no peanuts and only pine nuts in some dishes, almonds in one pasta, and pecans on one salad. Staff are very knowledgeable about which dishes contain nuts/allergens and come back to the table to let you know they checked with the kitchen! I love getting the butternut squash appetizer and the chicken kabob plate!”

Caruso’s
Location: Montecito, California
“The view was extraordinary! Right on the water. Definitely a special occasion spot. They asked if we had allergies and seemed to be on top of it but there were some nuts on the menu (pesto in a gnocchi, pistachio creme brûlée) but plenty of pizza and pasta besides the main course. Fancy!”
@susie, who manages peanut and tree nut allergies
The Meat Cellar
Location: Claremont, California
“One of my favorite restaurants at college for date nights or fancier dinners! They have great steaks, veggies, sides, and super fun drinks! They also have no peanuts in the whole restaurant! They have hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds that garnish some of the salads and cooked veggies, but according to wait staff all the nuts go on very last in a separate part of the kitchen, so there is very little chance of cross contamination in the cooking process. I had the steak tenderloin with mixed greens which was delicious and safe!”

Oceans & Earth Restaurant
Location: Yorba Linda, California
“This is a 100% dedicated gluten-free restaurant! When I inquired about my nut allergies, the chef told me they don’t use any peanuts or tree nuts in the kitchen! I was a little hesitant at first (I have never come across a restaurant free of gluten AND nuts), but our waitress was so kind and answered all my allergy questions! Everything on the menu is baked/made from scratch in house: the gluten-free brioche buns, pizza crusts, cookies, and desserts, so there is no chance of cross-contact with nuts! They even make their own ice cream! I was able to safely have any dessert on the menu, which has never happened before at a restaurant!”

“I had an absolutely AMAZING time at Nobu Miami! Our waiter Mauricio asked about allergies when we first sat down, and off the top of his head was able to recommend multiple meals that worked for me/could be adjusted for me. I went with what I knew was safe, and he had my allergens memorized and made sure that I stayed safe and comfortable the entire time! He even replaced the soy sauce on our table with tamari as soon as he knew I couldn’t have wheat. The quality of the food was superb and the atmosphere was incredible. They had multiple vegan wine options and the Prosecco I went with was incredible!”

Our waiter was informed before we arrived and the kitchen had taken special care of each course to accommodate us. An additional staff member passed by our table and double checked the food as it was being placed to be sure each person received the correct plate.

They don’t have a ton of gluten free options because they now have a limited menu (no gluten free pasta anymore), but they do have gluten free bread for burgers & sandwiches.

“The Smith is so consistent and knowledgeable about food allergies! I let the server know about my nut and gluten allergies and ordered gluten-free pasta with tomatoes and corn. Other people in our group ordered appetizers, and even though I was planning on not eating them, all the dishes came with allergy flags! I was so impressed! The menu doesn’t have too many nuts on it and while they’re aren’t extensive gluten-free options, they do have gluten free pasta and most of the entrees and salads can be made gluten free! So happy I tried the Smith and absolutely love that all the locations use red allergy flags!”

Aromi e Sapori – Restaurant & Weinbar
Location: Berlin, Germany
“This is a gem of a restaurant in Berlin. Don’t mind the head waiter he is always a little short but does take care of you—it’s just his personality. If you are lucky enough to visit in the summer, it has fabulous outdoor seating.”
