Food was tasty (side salad, pork martin, obrien potatoes, GF focaccia and pink sangria) but I definately got GLUTENED, and I am not celiac, so if you are celiac, be very cautious here! There was a $2 up charge for GF, and more for the focaccia....

Adorable restaurant and bar. I ordered chicken parmesan with noodles all gluten free. It was amazing! They even breaded the chicken with rice flour and was so flavorful and juicy. Will definitely be back. It was a little pricey but delicious.

Everything is made fresh. Many options. Everything I ate was delicious. Meat Lasagna and tiramisu was great. 1000% better than other nearby choices for gluten free Italian!

March 2018 menu changed. No longer classic homemade Italian. Food was delicious. Brussel sprouts and garlicky spaghetti amazing. Creme brulee very good. Very disappointed that there's no longer GF Tiramisu.

Celiac safe Italian. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I had the GF bread, penne with chicken and Alfredo sauce, and tiramisu. It was delicious. I felt completely safe but tested the pasta on my Nima sensor for fun and it passed. No gluten detected. A well informed kitchen is a a safe kitchen.

CELIACS, this is a place for you!!! My girlfriend is a celiac. This place has so many gluten free options with 100% safety. Yes you can get quality gluten free Italian food. A nice drink list also. Best part; she was ale to have homemade gluten free tiramisu! They were out of regular and I was jealous. It is pricey but if you are a celiac, you will walk away happy. My girlfriend did!

We have eaten here several times since we moved to Brighton in February. The restaurant has recently changed owners, and while I really miss the sweet older former owner, I have been told that they are trying to make everything on the menu have a gluten free option. I have not been super impressed with the desserts but everything else is delicious. They even made gluten free bread for us last time!

very nice gf menu, with dishes i haven't found gf anywhere else! i had gnocci, and it was delicious, especially impressed by the sauce! and as another reviewer stated, so many gf dessert options! i had the flourless cake, shared with my husband (who does not have celiacs). it was one of the best desserts i have had out in a long while. took a star off bc: ambience is sort of dismal, and the soup/salad were not the greatest first impression to make either. chef is adorable and chatted with us, very kind and knowledgeable! service was top notch, and overall yes we will be back! can't wait to try the lasagna, the word is it rocks. :)

Best GF Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time. The owner's daughter is gluten intolerant so they are always trying new recipes that are gluten free.

During the 2 weeks in town, I tried most all of them! The gluten-free lasagna is awesome. The GF gnocchi was great. The chicken marsala and the chicken piccata were tender and flavorful. My friend had the GF spaghetti with grilled chicken and their homemade marinara sauce. the marinara is the best I have ever tasted.

To make this restaurant more awesome, they have one of the largest selections of GF desserts I have ever seen at a restaurant. GF desserts I enjoyed are GF tiramisu, GF lemon bars, GF chocolate mousse, GF raspberry pana cotta, GF strawberry cheesecake, GF chocolate flour less cake, GF dump cake, and a GF cream cheese brownie. And...there were still GF desserts I didn't have time to try like their creme Brule and few other items. I can't wait to return!

As for cross contamination, they make every effort to prevent the risk of gluten-containing foods from contacting gluten-free foods. they take it very seriously.

Large gluten free selection! More than what is printed on their menu. I had a lovely meat lasagna and a cherry coconut desert that was super delicious! They had lots of dishes and deserts to choose from. Friendly staff =]
