The food was genuinely delicious - full of flavour and really comforting. We had the lasagne, which was rich and hearty, and I had a gluten-free pizza that was surprisingly good!!
Service was excellent. Big thanks to Alexandro for taking such good care of us - friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome.
We also got coffees which were strong and authentic - we really enjoyed our time here 😌 The only small downside was the music being a bit loud for me, but just personal preference; everyone else seemed fine with it.
Sensational pizza (gluten free to accommodate m’lady) with delicious ingredients. Service was so friendly and accommodating. And how can you beat corkage free booze from the wine shop next door. Thanks for great experience Hamish and Alex.
Had an absolutely amazing time here with delicious food and great service! My mum is coeliac and it's so hard to find places that take the proper precautions when dealing with gluten free food, but the staff were beautiful and went above and beyond to make sure her meal was safe, as well as having a variety of foods available. I had the schnitzel burger and it was fantastic, and we look forward to going again soon!
If you love home style Italian cooking, this is the place to come. Honest Italian food at honest prices. Family owned and run. Basic but unpretentious decor. Great gluten free menu too.
Such a cozy, friendly cafe by the park! Delicious dinner with so many gluten free options. The lamb backstrap with pea and asparagus risotto was sensational!! We had the lovely Olivia and Katie serving us with their big smiles and ready to help attitude. Lots of my favourite drink options! 5 star dinner!
We went during vivid and I am a celiac and I had the gluten free margherita with no reaction! The dough was amazing and their sunset passion fruit mocktail was amazing! I would highly suggest this place, my mom and stepdad also got salmon and the cut of the week and they also enjoyed it a lot, I didn’t even have time to take a photo of the food as I was too busy eating it, 10/10 all of the people were nice and I highly suggest
CASA is located in a beautiful and charming spot, especially during Vivid — the ambiance is lovely, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. However, a few things during our visit left us disappointed.
Even with the heaters on, the place was still quite cold, which made our food cool down very quickly. The fries were overcooked, had a burnt taste, and were completely unseasoned — not even a pinch of salt.
I was told there was a gluten-free bruschetta option, but no one mentioned they would replace the bread with pizza dough. That really changed the texture and flavor, and unfortunately, it wasn’t very enjoyable.
The BBQ chicken pizza was another letdown. The BBQ sauce was extremely strong and tasted like a generic, store-bought version — overpowering everything else.
On a positive note, the pulled pork with potatoes was absolutely delicious — definitely the highlight of the meal.
I’ve been to CASA before and had a great pizza, so I know they can do better. I’m sharing this feedback hoping it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.
Great gluten free pasta! They were knowledgeable about coeliac disease and gluten - and advised none of their pizzas, which are all pre-made in like slabs, are gluten free however they did do gluten free pasta dishes. Had the pasta, it was delicious, and then had an affogato afterwards - yum, excellent, would go ahead!
A beautiful place with a welcoming environment & staff members that are absolutely lovely. Food & drinks were amazing & great options for those who are gluten free

Naim made our day! Good service, food and atmosphere. Probably mostly visited spot near Opera which is a good place to chill in the afternoon. Even during the hot sun hours customer service welcomes you within a smile.
(There’s gluten free options for pizzas)
Our group of 5 loved our meals. Plenty of gluten free options and even a gluten free beer from Italy which was very tasty. Great food and the rocket salad was also nice and fresh. Friendly service too!
A wonderful dinning experience as we were visiting. Sydney. Staff were wonderful and fully understood my coeliac disease and accommodated me. Delicious and grateful for the meal. 😃
Totti’s is an absolute local gem! Perfect for sharing, the dishes are packed with classic Italian antipasti from the fluffy, wood-fired (and gluten-free!) bread kingfish crudo and octopus was epic! Steak was elite!. As someone who’s gluten-free, I was thrilled by the variety without compromising on taste. The restaurant is absolutely packed out and busy which ads to the atmosphere, the service is warm.. Ideal for casual catch-ups or special nights out.
Review of Zia Restaurant
Tonight we dined at Zia Restaurant. My husband ordered the Chicken Alfredo with gluten-free pasta and was very happy with his meal. The pasta had good flavour, and the portion size was satisfying.
I ordered the veal with a mushroom sauce, which came with chips and a garden salad. Unfortunately, the presentation was disappointing—the veal was placed on top of the chips with the sauce poured over everything, which made the chips soggy. The mushroom sauce lacked flavour, although the veal itself was cooked well. The salad was served on the side with a light vinegar dressing.
Service was lacking. We weren’t asked if we wanted another drink, and after finishing our meals, we waited for a staff member to return so we could order dessert, but no one came back. Eventually, we decided to leave.
Overall, the experience wasn't great, and we don't plan to return.
Service was outstanding. Went out to dinner with my 3 year old son who has type 1 diabetes and celiac disease and they cleaned everything carefully for him to have his tasty cheese pizza. The stuff were just so supportive. Thank you so much. We will become regulars. 👍
