Review of Anna's Ristorante

If you have celiac this restaurant is not for you. I took my family there and I am the only one with celiac. I was so excited to have a large GF menu and had the "allegedly" GF fried calmari (split with my family); and the GF chicken parmigiana with a side of GF penne. I usually only have mild symptoms due to cross contamination; but if I ingest substantial quantities of gluten my symptoms are harsh and severe. Last night I got horribly ill. I was essentially poisoned.

Within 2 hours of getting home I was feeling ill and had horrible flatulence. This was followed within an hour by bloating; severe cramping; stomach pain and intermittent night sweats. Finally I had diarrea followed by intermittent (for about an hour) PROJECTILE vomiting. I will NEVER go back (this was my first visit after seeing they had a GF menu online) and strongly advise anyone with celiac to avoid this place at all cost. I have not been this sick since, several years back, a restaurant swore their bread was GF; and after my daughter (protector) got suspicious and asked to see the label; we realized it was sprout bread! Unfortunately by then I had ate 2 slices and got horribly ill that evening. My point is this had to be more than cross contamination. This was someone clueless who essentially poisoned me! Avoid!!

Celiac friendly?
