About this restaurant

  • Gluten-free-friendly
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Nestled in downtown Los Gatos, Polenteria serves up Italian cuisine, that is Celiac safe.
We are a small 22 seat restaurant, that is very intimate. With a European feel, many of our guests proclaim that they have been whisked away to Italy or France. We love that!

Many accolades from the SF Chronicle, and the Mercury News as well as Eater SF hail Chef Yvonne and her team at Polenteria for being on the cutting edge of the Gluten Free Movement, and more importantly providing a safe space for those with Celiac to dine without hesitation.

We are a small restaurant and therefore we do have a strict no show- cancellation policy. we need 24 hours or more. Please be considerate of this.

We thank you and look forward to being of service.

    Excellent gluten free dining. The choices for brunch were outstanding. The service was provided by just a limited staff, but was excellent!

    Food and drinks were delicious and Norma was amazing. The only issue was a very loud group of ladies .. hard to avoid in such an intimate setting. Also. seeing Kenny behind the bar was an added bonus!

    The food and service is always excellent - and you cannot find better GF baked goods anywhere. Our favorite restaurant for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner - or to just grab some delicious muffins on a weekend.

    I am definitely coming back!! There’s nothing on the menu that isn’t gluten-free, I feel like a hungry kid at a candy store! The seating is cozy, the service is great, the decor is gorgeous, and THE FOOD! So good.
