About this restaurant

  • Gluten-free-friendly
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    Literal perfection. We made the pilgrimage from San Francisco to Los Gatos for their touted 100% Gluten Free Menu. And it was TOTALLY worth it! I can't wait to go back. The menu is divine, and satisfying. And we were pratically treated like family, by Yvonne, the owner/bartender/baker, her son, and our waiter. Thank you Polenteria!!! BRAVI!

    What a gem if you are Gluten Free. The pasta, bread, beer, desert all GF and all to the standard of Italian Food. Only 11 tables in a tiny space but they make it work. If your going for a quiet night this works. It was all high quality and cannot wait to go back.

    This cute, off the beaten path restaurant was a lovely brunch spot for my mom’s birthday. It wasn’t crowded for a Saturday, which made it easy to have conversation. The menu is small with not a lot of options, but we bother enjoyed what we ordered. I had a crab cake Benedetto and she had vegetarian polenta with egg. I want to go back for dinner to experience more polenta options.
