We found Libertine on OpenTable when looking for gluten free Italian food on the North End. The menu is 98% gluten free and the staff are very knowledgeable of gluten allergies. Our server was excellent, we never had to ask for anything. They served us gluten free bread before we ordered and with the soup I had. The bread was so fluffy and fresh, the best gf bread that I have ever had. Our server gave great recommendations and we loved everything that we ordered. We would highly recommend to anyone but especially to gluten free eaters!

Got a last minute reservation here during Dine Out Boston and loved it! The set menu had good options and our waitress gave us wonderful recommendations. The vibe was perfect for a night out… good music, low lighting, booth seating! Would definitely like to come back to try more of the menu!
