GF Dining in Encino

Encino quietly punches above its weight for GF dining. The standout is Mora Italiano — one of the few Italian restaurants in LA that hands you a signed GF certification slip from the manager certifying your dish was prepared GF. Add in wood-fired Mediterranean, Persian (naturally rice-heavy and largely GF), and a 10-seat omakase with pre-reservation dietary screening.

💡 Local Tip

Mora Italiano is the most thorough GF Italian in the Valley — they certify GF preparation in writing, which is rare. Sushi by Scratch (the omakase) books out weeks in advance; reserve early and note your dietary needs in the questionnaire.
