All pasta dishes (except for things like ravioli), can be prepared with gluten free penne. They also have a gluten free pizza which is placed on a separate tray in the oven. I had the pizza with no adverse reactions.

This place was delicious! Great gluten free options! I had grilled chicken parmesan and gluten free pasta,amazing! Ceasar salad without croutons, very fresh! For dessert they a lava cake, it was too rich for me but was good. My husband (not gf) had the 16 layer lasagna and said it was really good and he had some mozzarella sticks and said those were delicious too!

They say they have gf options. Went for dinner and was disappointed overall. They did offer a gf bread option so I had something when others at my table were enjoying bread to dip in the garlic & oil. Nice touch. I had a Caesar salad and it was weird: tomatoes, red onions, and olives. The dressing was bland at best. And I had the Italian Chili which is listed as gf. It was tasty but barely warm. I chose not to do pasta as they don’t offer traditional spaghetti in gf form. Big disappointment. The corkscrew gf noodles I’ve had at other pasta restaurants never worked out very well so I declined here. Why don’t they just use gf spaghetti noodles, there are so many really excellent choices out there. I finished with the flourless chocolate cake and it made everything else fade away. I say go but be aware, ask questions, and decide for yourself but be sure to post afterwards.

The food was great, however I do feel like I got sick the next day. I’m not sure if it was just me or a fluke, but I don’t think I’ll risk it and eat there again. Big bummer.

The pasta is definitely celiac friendly! However, food takes a long time to come and it is very expensive.

food is good, but it feels like they thjnk if they provide gf pasta then the dish is gf. Cooks n staff don't really conceive the seriousness of celiac disease.

I got sick from the soup twice. I wish I could eat here, but the second time there was no doubt it was the restaurant. I won't be going again.

Got sick after eating here from their gluten free menu. The waitress was okay but didn't know answers to any of my gf questions. When she passed on the questions to the cooks, she came back and said they didn't know. Too bad. The food looked good and my family liked their non gf food.

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.

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!!
