Crow's Nest Restaurant

Don’t get your hopes up for fried calamari, they will make it GF, but sautéed naked. That said, all items that can be GF are clearly marked, and I felt like they took cross contamination seriously. I ordered the [penne] and clams, but was surprised to find a heavy handed application of red pepper flakes, and the server brought me a glass of milk and remade the dish after my wimpy mouth was unable to cope. All in all a lovely location and a lovely restaurant, but no special rare-to-find GF treats to be found here, just New England standard seafood fare, without the fear of cross contamination.

Amazing food! GF items are marked in the menu. They have gluten free pasta and dinner rolls! I ordered the Pt. Judith Calamari, Seafood Pescatore, and Cannoli. Calamari was pan-fried to perfect tenderness (no dedicated fryer). Seafood Pescatore was absolutely delicious! All the seafood again was so tender with pasta that was a little thicker than typical store bought. It was great, because it held up beautifully in the rich tomato-based broth and had a very satisfying chew. Flavor wise, the fresh GF dinner rolls reminded me a bit of pancakes with a touch of cinnamon, but the texture was more dinner roll - very nice. I think the GF Cannoli was my least favorite, but overall, it was still very good! The cannoli shell was not crunchy with a taste reminiscent of graham crackers, but it held its shape. The filling was lovely and sweet.

So many delicious gluten free options. The calamari is lightly breaded in a gluten free batter and pan fried, the gf pasta is cooked in its own separate pan, and there’s even a gluten free cannoli! This place has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants and will definitely be on a regular rotation in my family.

This place has a lot of gluten free options and they a very conscientious about cross contact. They do no not have a dedicated fryer (the calamari is pan seared if order it gluten free), so no fries, nachos, etc. Our server was amazing and made sure to speak to the head chef to ensure everything was prepared separately and safely. My one caveat would be if you don’t like seafood and are celiac, this might not be the place for you. There are very few non-seafood options.
