I’m at this restaurant now and there is NO Gluten Free menu ☹. Hard to trust your app these days 🤨

Celiac friendly?

No

The online menu does not match the actual menu at the restaurant, so the limited GF options are even more limited once you get there. I had to repeat 3 times the word "gluten" to the hostess when asking for a GF menu (should have ran away right there).The waitress we had seemed very annoyed about our dietary restrictions and brought us a huge loaf of glutinous bread even though I explained that all of our party had gluten allergies. When I asked if the bread was GF, she had no idea what to say. Does she not know about gluten containing foods? Did she not care? Regardless- I wouldn't go to this place if I was you. Restaurants that advertise "GF" friendliness and don't bother to train their staff are worse, IMHO, than those who don't even bother to try to deal with the Celiac world. Just hoping that we don't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Downey has so few places that are gluten free friendly. And this is not my favorite place to eat. Mainly because their menu is so small. But my meal was pretty delish. :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many options and the food was delicious. I told them I was gluten-free and asked if I had an allergy. My plate was a different color than the others in my party, so I assume that was to signal to the kitchen to be careful. No complaints!

Server brought a gluten free menu with about 15 options. I ordered the rosemary lemon chicken. Our food came out very quickly. It was the best gluten free Italian meal I’ve eaten out to date. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

They have a very nice Gluten Free Menu. I had the Shrimp Scallopini and it was very good. Salad was great too! Enjoyed my experience!

Hands down one of the best gluten free experiences I've had. The portions were HUGE. Our waitress seemed very knowledgeable about everything. There's a whole menu of just gluten free stuff. Plenty of options. Did I say the portions were huge? I swear my husband's leftovers weighed 40 pounds. Prices weren't bad either. Prices aren't on the menu but our meals were around $18. Highly recommend!!
