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.

    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.

    We had lunch for the first time at Polenteria, after previous visits for dinner. The food was good and service was excellent. My only issue is that the lunch menu is identical to the dinner menu, which makes it very pricey for lunch.

    The food is great here and the staff is friendly but…. You can only sit at your table for 1.5 hours so we felt like everything was very rushed, app, dinner then check. If you want a leisure dinner this is not the place for you.

    All gluten free brunch. We had the Italian sandwich and Bolognese which were great. We also bought bagels and donuts which are excellent.

    The food is lovely and can accommodate many dietary restrictions. The endive salad is delicious. It is a tiny spot so be prepared to be sat behind an opening and closing door. Our host and part time server was wearing a backwards baseball cap. So not a very respectable vibe.
