Gluten Free Menu

From the Cafe Piccolo webpage: “Cafe Piccolo is located in Avon, OH and is the sister restaurant to Piccolo Italian Restaurant in Mayfield Heights, owned and operated by Chef Christopher Licht.”

A share from Judy:

Knowledgeable staff and kitchen. Specific gluten free entrees, gluten free pizza and bread with dinner, gluten free desserts. I had the gluten free pasta with mushroom cream sauce, pancetta, and prosciutto. It was very good.

NOTE: The Avon location is reported closed.

Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill is a fast-casual restaurant with friendly helpful staff.

I ate at the Independence location. When I asked about gluten free options I was shown the Allergy Guide. Staff changed gloves. Note that most of the menu items are gluten free. Exceptions include the pita and couscous and baklava. The chicken shwarma and amba sauce are noted to be processed in a facility where trace elements of the allergen are present. And the listing has an expected caveat that no guarantees are made and cross contact may occur.

I enjoyed a tasty bowl with hummus, falafel and all the salads and garnishes. Both the tahini and garlic sauces were terrific, though I was happy with my bowl sauceless.

I was told the Naf Fries are prepared in a dedicated fryer. Might try them on my next visit.

Simple menu! Simple Price!

Fully gluten-free options (prepared in a shared kitchen)

I had the rice bowl with Indian Masala, added the meatballs and finished with the coconut cake!

All options were awesome!

This is a nice, simple restaurant with a menu limited primarily to chicken (wings or very meaty tenders/strips) and go-withs for the chicken. Sauces are served on the side and almost all of them are gluten-free. Staff is very knowledgeable re gluten-free, too. Sides include things like potato fries, cauliflower and cheese (the gluten-free version of ‘macaroni and cheese’) and garlic Brussels sprouts. Portions were ample and we took some home, too. Food is ordered at the front, you then find a seat yourself, a server takes

your drink orders. Then you are called to pick up your food from the bar when it is ready. Suggest you arrive hungry and enjoy!

2/2026 Note: The food menu is now entirely gluten free. Though they still serve regular beer besides gluten free.

Pinstripes is a sprawling entertainment and dining facility in Pinecrest.

From their website:

Pinstripes was built from a passion to gather, to celebrate, and to experience sophisticated fun. Gather around our outdoor fire pit, rival friends in a game of bocce, or lace up the bowling shoes in our grand rendition of the classic American pastime while you enjoy our Italian/American cuisine served from our scratch kitchen.

I enjoyed dinner in the Bistro on a recent spring evening. The hostess produced a gluten friendly menu when asked about gluten free availability. The server assured me that once she notes the “allergy” my food would be prepared separately in the kitchen.

The gluten friendly menu included salads, pastas, pizzas and entrees. The server said that pasta is prepared separately but pizza is made in a shared oven.

I enjoyed a Cobb salad with beautifully arranged ingredients and super fresh taste.

Gluten eating companions enjoyed a vegetable flatbread and salmon sandwich. No sandwiches on the gluten friendly menu, though I wonder if items could just be ordered without the bread.

Happy hour is available in the bar area and pizza is on the menu. Might be worth a try.
