Bella Vista Ristorante

The waiter was very honest, which I appreciated, about the fact that the GF pasta was pretty much guaranteed to be contaminated. I had a salad with grilled chicken that he said they would make in a separate pan and he was wearing a glove when he came to deliver it, so I felt comfortable with eating it. Very, very limited options but at least I could have dinner.

I was very excited to find this place had gf home made pasta. I ordered the vongoli de limon which was okay. The pasta soaked up the garlic sauce which made it slimy??? The taste was okay as well. I did ask if the salmon was gf and the waitress said it was but didn’t seem confident so if I were to go again I would call ahead to specify specific dishes.

IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE DO NOT EAT HERE! I ordered a gluten free pasta dish that came with regular pasta mixed into the gluten free pasta. I'm glad I realized before I ate the entire dish, but I had already had half of it and it made me so sick. You cannot trust this place to provide you with gluten free food. The manager came over and was completely clueless. He had no clue what was going on, did not seem to understand how dire it is that someone with celiac disease not eat anything at all with gluten in it. He made no effort to say that he would make sure the chef understands that if you provide gluten free, it be cooked in a separate pot and everything. He was clueless. I'm writing this to protect potential future customers! Please don't eat here, it's not safe for you.

Celiac friendly?

No

The chef and wait staff were very familiar with Celiac's and ensured our food was gluten free. The place hasn't been open long under current management (3 months or so) and was a disaster for years before. They've done a complete remodel, the place looks great, the food is amazing, and the people are wonderful. They're definitely worth a fresh look!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
