The 12 Best Gluten-free Dining Spots in Boston

It’s a golden era for gluten-free eaters. Whether you have Celiac, an intolerance, or just choose to forgo, there are more gluten-free options in Boston than ever before. Don’t let the gluten-free life stop you from enjoying baguettes, donuts, pasta, pizza, and more. Please note: not all of these restaurants are Celiac safe, be sure to check in with each restaurant about cross contamination before dining.  by Celina Colby <a href="https://www.joyraft.com/event/verveine-cambridge-460704">Verveine</a>  Where: Central/Kendall Info: This 100% gluten-free bakery is a godsend for diners abstaining from gluten.
