Excellent food from appetizers to mains to dessert. Much of the menu is adaptable to gluten free. Server was friendly and knowledgeable - she even mentioned that the olive oil cake was originally with wheat flour, but they preferred the GF version so made it standard.

Food is fantastic. I mentioned I had celiac and server knew what I was talking about, explained they have separate pots for the gf pasta and she said she’d let the kitchen know I have celiac. No gf bread, but all of the pasta dishes can be made gf and all the desserts were gf. It is $5 extra for the gf pasta but honestly well worth it. I had the brown butter mushroom truffle pasta (special), my husband (not celiac) ordered a gf dish so I could try and the white wine butter sauce on the seafood pasta was divine. We also got the olive oil cake to share. My husband said it’s some of the best pasta he’s ever had, gf or otherwise. I think he was mostly talking about the sauce but still. He could only think of one other pasta dish he’s ever had he liked more, and it was better than anything he tried on our recent trip to Italy (granted we stuck to the gf spots but still). worth the nearly 2 hour wait on a weeknight (they didn’t have any available reservations so we showed up and put our names on the waitlist).

We very much enjoyed our experience here. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and the options I had. The pasta was very tasty and I was able to eat all of the desserts on the menu (without the crumbles, of course). I did not have a reaction to the dinner. Very happy with the night.

Best homemade gf pasta. All three desserts were also gf. The lamb ragu was delectable. I wish I lived nearby as I’d eat here every week.

The staff is so friendly, atmosphere is great and food is amazing. I had their homemade gluten free pasta with seafood and then shared Panna Cotta with the hubby. Celiac safe for sure, they will let you know what you can and cannot have.

Outsanding house-made gluten free pasta! Most of the pasta dishes were already gluten free if you switched out the pasta. All the desserts could be made gluten free. Get the flourless chocolate cake!

Delicious GF pasta and desserts. Salads are usually GF. Although they aren’t a dedicated facility, so they will typically give you the “shared kitchen” spiel.

Best Gluten Free pasta I have ever had! Went there shortly after my diagnosis and didn't know to ask a lot of questions, but the kitchen seemed to be quite careful, and brought my food out separately
