I ordered a house salad and garlic shrimp on zucchini noodles. I Nima tested both dishes, and gluten was found in both. Fortunately, the waiter didn’t charge me for the meal.

They have gluten free penne that is really good! A lot of sauce options- have to ask if specific ones are GF or not. They may have other menu items but I never ask bc I love the penne!

I went to Babbo's for their gluten free pasta. I ordered the 3-cheese mac and cheese and it was brought to my table with croutons on top. This exact issue occurred also at a Babbo's location in Sun City a few weeks prior. Not the end of the world, I simply sent it back to the kitchen and expected a new dish to be prepared. The SAME dish was brought back to me ~10 minutes later with *SOME* of the croutons picked off, however they mistakenly left 2 behind. Busted. 100% unacceptable. While my meal was paid for, I will not be returning. To top it off, the manager apologized but it seemed to lack sincerity. If a restaurant wants to provide gluten free items on their menu, the staff needs to be better educated.

Ordered takeout. I like to order pastas that are distinctly different from the gluten free version to test the restaurants. In this case, I ordered a pasta that normally comes with fusilli and subbed gluten free penne. Cross contamination occurred because I found fusilli in my dish part way through.

No gluten free menu, didn’t feel confident ordering the Alfredo but it was pretty decent and I did not have a reaction.

I specifically said to the waiter several times that I could not have gluten; even discussed the possibility of gluten in certain sauces. He said he wasn't very knowledge about the sauces, so I decided to stick with a gluten free pizza. It wasn't. The reaction was so bad I almost went to the hospital. I probably should have but didn't want to ruin my friends trip.
