Hunting for Gluten Free Restaurants in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn
I have been living in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY for nearly 6 months now and have found a few gluten free resources to share with those who are my gluten-avoiding neighbors:
- Fish & Sip at 216 Flatbush Ave (between Dean St. and Bergen, 718-636-2256) serves plenty of gluten free seafood entrees, with potato and vegetable sides. Great service, lots of healthy choices, and good prices too.
- Aliseo at 665 Vanderbilt Ave (718-783-3400) is a fine-dining Italian restaurant. The menu doesn’t say it, but they do have gluten free pasta available by request and they even cook it in a separate pot of water. Owner Albano Ballerini has been at this location for 7 years and also owns the pizza place Amorina across the street, so tell him you would love to see gluten free pizza in the future too….(he’s “considering”).
- The Met Foods on Vanderbilt Ave. sells gluten free pasta, rice crackers, and gluten free brownie / cake mixes.
- Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flours can be found at DNY Natural Land (322 Flatbush Ave, 718-783-0038).
These are the for sure gluten free resources I have found thus far. If you know of any others, please share via comment!

While mostly everyone else is eating bread, and you are searching for news about their gluten free credentials from their chef your are starting to feel emptier and probably more frustrated. If you feed yourself before you leave or take some snacks with you, you will be ensured of being able to take your time at the gluten free restaurant.
