Carelli's of Boulder

Such a wonderful experience! Food was DELICIOUS and the service was great! I had the fettuccini carbonara and the GF focccacia bread and both were very good. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

There was a gluten free menu and it was good, but I was in serious pain before I even left the table and barely made it the 20 min drive home and to a toilet. They were aware it was an “allergy” (celiac) and were supposed to keep it separate. Had the gf focaccia bread, red wine, and the gf fettuccini carbonara. I wish I didn’t get so sick but here we are. I will never go back or recommend for gluten free.

I love their GF bread, always order it with the olive appetizer, salad, and mushroom risotto. Have never had a problem.

Not safe. My folks went there a few times, they lied about the pizza being safe, the only thing you can get (other than that) being vegetarian is appetizers and pasta.

Based on everyone else’s reviews I felt really safe but unfortunately there was a wheat noodle in my pasta dish. Management was super apologetic and kind, but still had to go try and get it out of my stomach as fast as possible.

FABULOUS! The manager greeted us and explained gf procedures. Our server was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed one of the best pasta dishes ever plus gf bread! No issues afterward. The food was amazing!

Incredible! Large GF menu and everything felt very safe. My focaccia came out wrapped in foil, showing they understand cross contamination issues. When my pasta came out, the person specified it was GF. When I told my waitress I have a gluten allergy (easier than saying celiac) she wrote it down and confirmed with me that it was celiac, she was very knowledgeable. Overall amazing experience!

Food was decent, but not amazing. Service was good and the staff was very knowledgeable about celiac. They did have THE BEST olive loaf, gluten free. We got some to take home with us.

The chef here has celiac, so they cook the gluten free pasta in separate water and are very good with avoiding cross contamination. Someone came and explained all the precautions they take for people with celiac disease. They have a gluten free focaccia bread (rustic boule bread) that was amazing. It did not even taste gluten free. It was the best gf bread I have had. I had the scallop cacciatore as an entree and it was very good.

Loved our dinner at Carelli’s! Such yummy GF pasta and bread, great wine and a very good Manhattan from the bar. Hubby loved his Chicken Parm and I had the GF Fettuccini Carbonara. It was a huge plate but I almost finished it because I just couldn’t stop eating it. Isn’t this always the way when you’re treated to delicious pasta as someone with celiac disease?!

Service was friendly and hospitable, if a bit absent-minded. It was a fairly busy evening but overall we were happy with the service.

Highly recommend.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dinner
• Reservations recommended

Wow. Wow. Wow. The staff is so knowledgeable. One of the head chef's has Celiac disease so they completely changed their gluten free approach to reduce cross contamination. Ask for the gluten free menu but they can make almost anything gluten free if you ask because everything is made to order. The bread is delicious!! Make a reservation, this place is always booked.

We had a fantastic experience, I have celiac disease and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They have a separate gluten free menu with plenty of choices. I had a pasta with mussels and artichokes and creme brulee for a dessert
