    A celiac, gluten sensitive, and vegetarian walk into the room... My friends and I (described above) dined here for the first time and had a pretty decent experience. The table decor and vibe was very cute for a weekday afternoon. We went during happy hour time and my friends got hefty wine pours for $10. For food, mozzarella sticks are a must especially for GF folks. We shared the roasted beet salad which was pretty tasty but I kind of felt the beets were kind of thick and could've been cut up more. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and my friends got the pesto pasta and the spinach ricotta ravioli. The squash ravioli had great flavor but the pasta was too tough/al dente for my liking. I've seen this in other reviews and wonder if they're frozen and just getting reheated at the same setting. My friends thought their pasta was also just okay, the pesto lacking a bit of salt. We had the tiramisu for dessert and honestly that was their saving grace because we loved it. It was my friend's birthday so they sang happy birthday which was nice and a sign of attentive service. Overall it was nice, not great, but I would give it another try and taste some other menu items!

    Delightful gluten free brunch in the West Village. I am a bit surprised by the low Yelp rating. The spot itself was pretty small and tight, small tables very close together--very euro vibe. Apparently there was a back room they eventually opened up because it was getting too crowded, not sure why they didn't just do so from the start! It was super cute though and had a charming romantic vibe. Service was mostly good! Our original waiter seemed a bit out of his depth and confused, but there were some other servers helping as well and those ladies were on top of it. They were able to confirm what options were dairy free as well. Nothing took too long and everything came out right--and delicious! We ended up ordering from the fixed brunch menu which included drinks--two of us got byo omelettes and one a frittata which came with potatoes, greens, and focaccia, and then we all opted for mimosas! We also shared a pancake plate which included a coffee. Pricing was super fair for the area and felt like a good deal. And everything was so good! I did a scallion and bacon omelette and it was very good. The potatoes and focaccia served with it as well were pretty amazing--I ended up stealing my friend's piece. The pancakes were pretty decent and fluffy as well. Mimosas and drip coffee were great. All around a super satisfying and delicious meal. Would for sure come back and recommend!

    Tight Quarters, Modest Flavor -- but Quality Has Slipped We returned to Wild in the West Village for dinner on a busy Friday night, a spot we've visited many times over the years. The place was buzzing -- every table inside full, the narrow dining room and tiny kitchen making movement tight, especially with the bathroom tucked right next to it. Guests and staff share this single restroom, which makes for awkward congestion when there's a line. In summer, outdoor seating eases the squeeze, but in winter it's elbows all around. Wild's fully gluten-free menu leans Mediterranean, but this visit was disappointing. Our calamari arrived in a small portion, lukewarm, and with little care in presentation -- a far cry from past visits or other calamari worldwide. For mains, we had the pepperoni pizza, the "Skinny B--ch" vegetarian pizza, and chicken Parmesan with rigatoni. Portions were modest, quality mediocre, and everything arrived cold. The chicken Parmesan was thin and undersized, while the rigatoni in red sauce looked like something from a much lower-tier restaurant. We finished with caramel crunch cake and tiramisu -- both standard, rich desserts, but nothing memorable. Service felt rushed, with the server keen to move things along, even bringing the check unprompted while we were mid-conversation. Considering the portion sizes, quality, and overall experience, the cost of dinner simply didn't feel justified. The space would benefit from an upkeep-focused remodel that preserves its charm while improving flow and comfort. The bathroom, still gas-station-esque, remains a sore spot. Once a standout for casual gluten-free dining, Wild's quality has noticeably slipped over the years. #WestVillageEats #GlutenFreeNYC #SmallSpaceBigFlavor #DiningInNYC

    Butternut Squash Ravioli
    Keeley G.

    Gluten free is hard to knock out the park - while it wasn't knocked out, Wild does provide really solid gluten free options. I promise the further you get from gluten the less you recall how good is it. Loved that they have butternut squash ravioli on the menu - definitely feel the pasta was a little too al dente for my liking. Maybe I can ask them to cook it longer next time. If they could find a way to thicken/ sweeten the pizza dough crust I think it would be even better - but our mushroom, burrata, prosciutto pizza still did the trick. I'm very happy a gluten free place like wild exists! I will be back and will check out some of the other options. Super cozy vibes inside. One teeny tiny bathroom though but that's what ya get in west village. Keep on keeping it GF Wild!

    If you need to eat gluten free this is the place for you. If you are connected to a person who is gluten free and you want to eat excellent food which they can eat, this place is for you! The restaurant is 100% gluten free. We were seated in the dining room which was preferable (had a reservation). It was quieter and slightly better lit. Service was 2/3rds good. Wine steward- nice job. Split a bottle among the five of us and still left some for later. Food service- friendly and accommodating. Waitron- lacked inattentiveness and was slightly indifferent. Only meh of the night. All entrees were excellent. The chew of the pasta and flavors of the sauces were top tier. Three of us had ravioli (3 different types) and two had pizza. I would eat any of them again. Desserts were good too. NY is lucky so have such a place!

    Rigatoni & Meatballs
    Priyanka M.

    100% gluten free! Mozzarella sticks 10/10. Calamari was good but slightly understated. Butternut squash ravioli was great. Rigatoni with meatballs was just average. Great restaurant for people with celiac! Restaurant was very busy so service was a little slow but they were very nice! Vibey ambiance. Great outdoor seating but also plenty of indoor seating as well.

    For all the GF baddies who miss mozz sticks!
    Aislinn B.

    My second visit to Wild has been fantastic! Fabulous cocktail, mozz sticks to die for, and a GF pizza and pasta menu people dream of. If you are gluten-free, this cozy and friendly nook was made for you!

    such a cute place!! I'm not personally gluten free, but my two roommates are and they were so impressed with the food!! everyone was very kind here and the service was good. I definitely need to come back soon and try more of their items- the menu was big!! they also have cooking classes which seem cool

    Carol C.

    Cute place, friendly staff. Great gluten free restaurant in a great location. Appetizers were delicious! Meatballs, cáptese salad and the mozzarella are to die for. Did not love the chicken Marsala it was a bit different for me from other places. But overall it was a good meal and will definitely go back.

    Burrata Prosciutto Pizza, Butternut Squash Ravioli
    Alex I.

    To clarify: I would give a 3.5 stars if it was an option, but it's not so! I'll start by mentioning the good parts: the butternut squash ravioli was incredibly delicious, rivaling some non gf ones I've had. The drinks were good too, and the fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. The service however, was mid bordering on rude. Our server's name was Kathy (not that she introduced herself to us) and we essentially had to flag her down whenever we wanted something. We were there for an hour and a half and she came to take our orders, to ask us mid bite if we needed anything else, then to comment on how much food we were eating by asking how our "feast" was. Other than the service, almost everything we ordered came out room temperature, which could be contributed to how busy and small of a space it was, but maybe they need to take a table out at that point. There was one bathroom for staff and customers to share, we were six inches from tables on either side, and it was almost too dark to read the menu. It's really nice to have a celiac conscious 100% gluten free kitchen, but would've been nicer if everything listed above was different.

    Spaghetti Bolognese
    Sam I.

    I am gluten-free and I am always looking for a good restaurant that suite my needs. This place was perfect. My brother (not gluten free) said his pasta was the best he's ever had. I thoroughly enjoyed the bolognese it was perfect. I had the biggest mozzarella sticks that I have ever had. The soup tasted completely homemade with love. The service was great, it was perfect! My next trip to NYC I will be going back!

I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.
