Review of Cafe La Trova

I ate here a year ago and then again this week. The menu shows only a couple of gluten-free options and no gf entrees so I was a bit concerned. I had written into the restaurant a month ago to ask about gluten-free options, but did not get a response. Fortunately, my server was on top of things and let me know what I could eat. There are many options that are available with modifications to the written menu.

My husband and I shared the octopus appetizer, which was delicious. We followed that with the miraflores salad which we both enjoyed. For my entrée, I had the lechon without the crispy pork skin. Know that the fryer is shared so that any fried items are not safe.

I went because I wanted to go to a restaurant with live music that was crowded. I had a great experience, but know that it is loud and somewhat difficult to communicate with your server.

The meal I had was delicious, and I will probably return and have the same thing again.

This is not the most logical place to go as celiac, but I really enjoyed it
