Apparently the chef is not trained well enough to be able to get gluten free menu items out at the same time as non gf items. The waitress brought out the meal for my husband, but told us that my gf meal would be ready in another 15 minutes. The manager did not see any problem with this. When my order came, the pasta was undercooked. Neither the waitress or manager visited the table again until we flagged someone down for the check. Not worth the time or expense!!

Great experience every visit. Staff seems to go above & beyond for my food requests & alterations. Today the chef even prepared my meal extra special since it was a food I was trying for the first time.

Very delicious and safe place for those with gluten and wheat allergies! Pretty decent amount and variety of options on a separate gluten free menu! Not many Italian restaurants offer gluten free options where I am from so I was super excited to have some on vacation! I had the gluten free spaghetti with meat sauce and their sausage as a topping! VERY big portions by the way - pictures don't do it justice! No reaction! Would highly recommend!

Nothing gluten free. Staff was inattentive took 10 min to acknowledge us after waiting at the greeting counter. They never heard of gluten free, that person asked another worker they never heard of it then they went asked the manager took 10 min and said they might be able to do a grilled chicken with veggies. I did not feel safe to eat anything.

Very limited gf options, only 2 entrées on menu. Too pricey for a small bowl of pasta with watery sauce. No gf bread. No choice of noodles.
