BRAVO! Cucina Italiana

Dec 10, 2022. Stopped for a quick lunch. Menu is very limited and our server did not give me any confidence when I was ordering. I reluctantly ordered because we needed to eat and be somewhere fast. I ate a grilled salmon salad. Dressing was supposed to be on side, but wasn't. Meal was fine and I didn't get sick, but the experience was not a good one.

When we were seated, my mom asked to speak with the head chef. She explained to him that my celiac son was nervous about eating outside of the house recently and asked if he could assure us that the gluten free food was safe for celiac diners. The chef responded with one word: "yes". I would have felt better if he went on to explain the precautions taken in the kitchen, but I figured 'yes' was better than 'no'. The restaurant was fairly empty, so I was comfortable that they would be able to prevent cross contamination.

My son ordered the GF pasta woozie without chicken. When we ordered, the server asked if he had an allergy or if this was a food preference. I took that as a good sign. As my son was eating his meal, he noticed part of a ravioli in his dish. We notified the staff who apologized. The manager (?) personally watched the chef remake the dish and she assured us that it was safe to eat this time. My mom dined there again within the same week. She mentioned the incident to a manager and was told that she did not hear of the gluten incident and she should have been informed. This restaurant handled the situation professionally, and didn't charge us for the dish, but this should not have happened.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ask for the gluten free menu. Grilled Salmon was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant hosted our group for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Our group had life threatening allergies to shellfish, tuna, peanuts and tree nuts. We also have celiac and must avoid gluten. Other allergies were dairy and salmon. We were served wonderful food and no one got sick! They specially ordered gluten free beers for our party and allowed us to bring in hard cider and gluten free desserts. The current manager is Gabriel and the assistant manager is Dena. They took care of everything! I loved planning with Lauren, their banquet coordinator. She responded quickly to each and every email.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu was clearly marked with what can be made gluten free- but the waitress said they are getting updated menus soon as they have more available. They were very accommodating.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. DON'T TRUST THEM. NO GLUTEN FREE PASTA!

We went specifically because our daughter (celiac) wanted pasta. The server, and then the manager, confirmed that they cook the gluten-free pasta in the same water as the traditional pasta! Crazy but true. The manager then rudely and defiantly fed us some b.s. that the water temp keeps the pasta gluten free and they did not have room for a pot of dedicated water. Smaller restaurants are capable of doing it, why not them? "Gluten transfers to gluten-free pasta when cooked in shared pasta cooking water." - ScienceDirect

I ate there last evening. They did not have a gf menu, but a few items were marked that they could prepare gf. I chose the shrimp scampi. It was prepared with gf rotini, the only gf pasta they had. It was delicious. The dish came out with 2 pieces of non-gf garlic crostini. If you're concerned about cross contamination, I'd avoid this place. The only dessert they had that could be prepared gf was vanilla Gelato!

AWFUL! I got the chopped salad which I was told would be gluten free. Not only did I find a bug in my food but had an awful stomach ache after. the staff and chef were rude as well. Quality has gone down tremendously lately.

If I could give it a 0, I would, but I can't, so I give it a 1. They forgot to even give me my food after over an hour of waiting as the rest of my table ate :( the pasta is bland and worse than some of the box pastas I buy from the store. Could not accommodate for an egg allergy and made us pay $8 for lettuce and Parmesan cheese.
