I have had their GF pizza before and was fine. But last night I ordered their GF baked mostaccioli. I'd had it a few years earlier and the noodles were a crumbled mess. But I thought I'd try it again thinking that since years had gone but they may have learned how to cook it better.

The dish was served to me with no markings what so ever that it had been specially prepared. So I asked my waitress two times (she forgot to ask the 1st time), if she could double check with the kitchen. She said she did and it was definitely GF.

After beginning to eat I thought that the noodles were to good to be true. They were perfect. Too perfect. The consistency was not that of GF pasta. I've only been GF for 3.5 years so I remember how real pasta tastes.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later I was sick as a dog. I will not go back to a place where they take allergies so lightly. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCOMMODATE GF PEOPLE, DON'T ADVERTISE ON YOUR MENU THAT YOU DO!
