La Famiglia Giorgio
112 Salem St. 
Boston, MA
(617) 367-6711

La Famiglia is an Italian favorite, and not just for the gluten-free set. They’ve got 3-4 different GF pastas on any given day, and can make nearly every menu option gluten free; and there are a LOT of them. They can also make GF pizza. The GF garlic bread is “just” a pizza crust dressed up in garlic and butter, but we’re not complaining. Super careful in the kitchen as well.

Back Bay

 

Atlantic Fish Company
761 Boylston St. 
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 267-4000

Atlantic Fish Company offers a pricier menu that’s totally worth it. Everyone in your party will be pleased, but don’t expect rolls or pasta, as they don’t always seem to be available. They can prepare most items gluten free, from surf to turf, but no longer have a dedicated fryer, so cross fish and chips off the list. Still, an excellent choice; call before you go to see what GF starches are being served!
