So I was on the hunt for homemade wheat free/gluten free pizza and came across Cotto. It's not far from my place on the train so we headed out there for dinner.

We were greeted by the owner with a giant basket of freshly baked bread, which I turned down because of my wheat allergy and the owner said, "You must tell me right away, I will take care of you!" and he had some fresh and hot gluten-free bread brought to me right away. What a treat!!!!

This is a fantastic Italian family owned establishment with all the charm and fantastic service that you find in Italy. And the food! Superb!

My husband had the Penne Arrabiata, and I had a Gluten Free Vegetarian Pizza. Both were absolutely excellent. The veggies on the pizza were crispy and delicious, the sauce and cheese were wonderful and the crust was crispy around the edges.

The owner took the time to have about a 20 min chat with us, inquiring about my allergy and telling us that he had been Celiac for many years.

I could not fit dessert into my preggy tummy, but my husband had the mint and chocolate ice cream which was spectacular! I had a bite, and I've never had ice cream that was as light as a mousse. Brilliantly done. Not only that, but over half the desserts on the menu were gluten free. Not just the typical gluten free fare either...they had tiramisu for goodness sake!

I highly recommend this restaurant for WF and GF as well as non-allergy folk as well! It's a nice friendly laid back atmosphere, reasonably priced, and caters to those of us who are normally left out when it comes to Italian fare! Go there now! x

Food for Friends is the best vegetarian restaurant I’ve ever visited. My husband and I just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary there and everything we had from start to finish was delightful.

We shared our main courses, Perfumed Mango, Avocado, Halloumi, and Wasabi Encrusted Cashew Nuts Salad

Wild Mushroom Rosti

Both were perfectly flavoured and prepared down to the poached egg on top of the rosti, and the marinated carrot on the side. PERFECT!

We next had a delicious cheese platter with gluten-free bread (best I’ve ever had, a cross between American corn bread and regular bread) and we finished it off with Creme Brulee with Blood Oranges and Cardomom.

Teas and coffees were also brilliant, the green tropicale being one of the most delightful teas I’ve ever tasted. At £43 all in with tip…this was a complete bargain. Some might find this pricey but it was well worth it.

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t miss an opportunity to visit this fabulous establishment!

Leon’s is a fab place to you if you need your food in a hurry but don’t want to sacrifice quality. The best part is that all the food is labelled with Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan, and Dairy Free icons so that you can be sure that you’re getting the right ingredients for your body. It’s such a pleasure for me to eat somewhere where I can trust I’m getting something Wheat Free.

I had the superfood salad, and it was amazing. Quinoa, Broccoli, Avocado, Sprouts, Peas, and a lemony dressing. Deeelish!

I’ve been wanting to try this places as they have food clearly marked on the menu as gluten-free which is fantastic. I had no idea there was on in the Westfield Shopping Centre!

Wow! What a great value, we had antipasti and salads and it was fabulous and very inexpensive. I was well surprised and my taste buds were very very happy. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions about the ingredients in the food. I’m going back to try the risotto next. Stay tuned!

The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars rather than 4, is because the drinks were only so so. I had an orange juice that tasted boxed from concentrate, and my partner said the coffee was only so so, but in the scheme of things this is small potatoes compared to the rest of the great things I have to say about Ooze! Enjoy!

I don’t usually like to give a place a bad review but this was the first truly bland Indian food I’ve had on Brick Lane. We had a range of dishes, mushroom baji, sag aloo, and veggie curry. All very heavily oily and not spiced particularly well. The service was OK and the staff were friendly but the food took forever to come.

To add insult to injury, my husband ended up with a spot of food poisoning, which we think was from a sauce that I didn’t have for the papadoms.

I’d recommend avoiding this one, especially with so many other great restaurants very near.
