   We found Libertine on OpenTable when looking for gluten free Italian food on the North End. The menu is 98% gluten free and the staff are very knowledgeable of gluten allergies. Our server was excellent, we never had to ask for anything. They served us gluten free bread before we ordered and with the soup I had. The bread was so fluffy and fresh, the best gf bread that I have ever had. Our server gave great recommendations and we loved everything that we ordered. We would highly recommend to anyone but especially to gluten free eaters!

   The noise was uncomfortable. Very difficult to have a conversation.

   Visited Libertine for the first time with family that flew in from out of Town. There are a lot of great restaurants that I usually visit when I can in the North End and I am adding this one to the list. It will become a go to favorite I am certain once I visit again and get the same level experience. The food is fantastic and the 4 people that were with me agreed and each had their own different dishes. Appetizers were awesome. We had Meatballs/Calamari/Barratta Salad. Staff accommodated some severe allergies and did an outstanding job with Gluten Free dining. Everything but the Ravioli is Gluten Free. They also accommodated several substitutions like Mash Potato for Rizzotto... Wine selection was great by the glass. Service was attentive. We did not need to ask for anything at all. This was an early reservation prior to the Bruins game and reservations were a must suggestion if you can swing it. They also have a bar which is pretty nice as well.

   We were seated directly between the only two tables on the right side of the restaurant, a two top and four top. Extremely close in proximity made it difficult to have a personal date.

   My experience at Libertine was great, but not amazing. When you first walk in you see the open kitchen and bar, then there is a good amount of seating that is a bit cramped, but nothing unusual for North end restaurants. Our server was very attentive and greeted us just a couple minutes of us sitting down. We got an appetizer of chourico that was lit table side, and was amazing. Highly recommend as an app. Then, the only downside of the night was when we ordered a special that night, Portuguese bitoque. I asked for medium rare and barely got it rare, and I had to get it recooked for another 6-8 minutes. We had bread in the meantime and I was aware that things like this always happen. After getting my meal recooked, we both enjoyed out dinners and the food was great. The prices are a tad on the high end, especially the drinks, but that’s life nowadays. I would totally recommend Libertine if you want to get away from some of the classic Italian restaurants in the area and go for something a bit more unique.

   Our server was attentive and friendly, and made a special effort to answer any questions. The restaurant is Celiac friendly, with nearly the entire menu GF.
