Review of Alma Nove

My boyfriend and I - both celiac - decided to go here for our Valentine's Day dinner. It's definitely a splurge, which is why we saved it for a special occasion. The place itself is very nice - although everything was buried under a million feet of snow when I went, I'm sure the views of the water would be very pretty during the summertime. We decided to go with the cod cakes appetizer, which we thought was pretty outstanding. They also brought us some GF rolls and olive oil for dipping (it took them a little while to bring it out, but our waitress apologized multiple times for the delay and I thought the bread itself was pretty good). For our main course, I got the duck breast and my boyfriend got one of their penne dishes (the one with seafood). We also decided to split the lobster mashed potatoes side dish because we were curious to try it. The mashed potatoes were delicious and I thought the duck was perfect. Unfortunately, my boyfriend wasn't as pleased with his meal, as the pasta seemed to have been slightly overcooked, and as overcooked GF pasta tends to do, had become mushy (like he couldn't even get it to stay on his fork). He mentioned the issue to the waitress but insisted that it wasn't a big enough deal to send the dish back. However, the waitress still kindly offered us a free dessert to make up for it. We got some sort of mocha cream thing, and we both agreed that it was really good, although by that point we were too full to finish it! Although the pasta was a bit of a disappointment, the staff was very kind about it and everything else we ate was top-knotch.

Celiac friendly?
