The server was very helpful and accommodating. Menu items marked with red asterisk can be made GF; items with blue can be made DF. You have to specify this when ordering. My husband ordered GF/DF puttanesca and really enjoyed it! The GF pasta was excellent quality, too.

The food was amazing, the menu was clearly marked, and the staff was kind and knowledgeable. Such a relief to have a delicious and stress-free meal. I had the Burrata Prosciutto (tomato, burrata cheese, prosciutto, basil & balsamic vinaigrette, crostini) and Misto Di Mare (prawns, scallops & artichoke hearts, garlic cream sauce, linguini). The GF crossing was excellent and the pasta was delicious and actually linguini! No issues after eating.

My son and are celiac. We went last night and it was sooooo good! Neither of us were sick. Our family shared the gf garlic bread and it was amazing! I had the pasta that had sundried tomatoes and artichokes and my son had a pasta with olives, capers and a spicy marinara. We were both amazed with the flavours and that actual pasta … it was wide linguini noodles … I’ve never had since diagnosis… thank you Giovanni for an amazing atmosphere and safe food!

Amazing for Celiac! Good food, serving staff is all very knowledgeable, and one of the owners is gluten free. Dishes are prepared separately and all pasta is boiled in clean fresh water. The garlic bread is great and I have been twice with no adverse reactions.

I LOVE this place. As a lifelong Carmel resident, I was devastated at my diagnosis that I would never be able to eat out again. This place is careful, has options, has incredibly kind and understanding staff and owner. Have never been worried or had an ounce of reaction after being here. 20/10 would recommend, just let them know you have an allergy.

Delicious Italian dinner experience. The menu is clearly labeled to help diners know what can be made gluten-free. The team is super friendly and helpful when making decisions. The gluten-free garlic bread was delicious, too, and there were great dessert options. All around a lovely time.

My partner and I are both non-Celiac gluten intolerant (but still very sensitive) and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here with no reaction!!
They have amazing garlic bread, flatbreads (the chicken one with awesome) and all of their pastas are available gf with fresh-frozen pasta. Going to an Italian joint when you’re gf is always a bit nerve wracking, but the owner put our mind at ease by explaining their processes (his wife is gf as well).
This place does not disappoint- if you’re in Carmel and want a tasty (and safe) dinner, I highly recommend it!

We went here because of they clearly mark items GF and DF on their menu. I ordered the cioppino, which was tasty. That said, after promising me a plate of GF/DF garlic bread, our very nice waiter left a place of supposedly GF bread that included butter and cheese. Another waiter then came by with a plate of GF/DF bread. On the plus side, I do believe both plates of bread were GF.

We ate here once based on other reviews. GF options are called out on the menu and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and took GF seriously. I ordered the chicken marsala and GF garlic bread which tasted fantastic, but I did get sick afterwards. I suspect cross contamination.

We had the garlic bread, caesar salad, and flatbread, all of which were fantastic. I have Celiac Disease and the staff were very knowledgeable about what on the menu was safe and which areas were dedicated. They knew how to avoid cross contamination and kept everything safe for our party, which was fantastic. Would also highly recommend the gluten free gnocchi.

I am in absolute HEAVEN here. Earlier today I had the runs from gluten fast food and at this amazing restaurant my gastrointestinal tract seems to have really calmed down. But more importantly, the food is astonishingly delicious and there are vast numbers of options for celiac people. We are coming back here for lunch having just had dinner here, it is so good. Thank you to the reviewer who said just go here already. WE LOVE THIS PLACE! My vegetarian husband also said it is one of the best meals he has ever had, AND I AM A CIRDON BLEU TRAINED COOK!

I ordered the margarita flatbread and garlic bread appetizer. I told the waiter about my celiac and he understood. Unfortunately when my food came out i tested both items and both came back with gluten found. I told the waiter and the manager came over. He was kind and understanding but was confused with the outcome because apparently people have tested it in the past and it was okay. We left after leaving a tip and went somewhere else. Nice people and location but was not celiac safe for me.

Very nice and attentive place! The staff genuinely cared about making it a good gluten free experience for us. We sat outside on their cute patio for lunch with our little dog. We ordered the GF garlic dip and when we had gone through the first baguette, they offered to bring an additional one at no cost. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken added. We finished off with an espresso creme brulee. All was delicious! Everything on the menu is clearly marked with GF. Lots of GF pasta options!

Unfortunately my Nima sensor found gluten in both dishes I ordered (shrimp appetizer and paella entree). The manager came out multiple times to talk to us and was concerned because they cook everything separately according to him. He cared a lot about the quality of their gluten free food and asked me to explain how my sensor worked and said he would look into getting one. They were able to make the chocolate martini dairy free for me, and it was super tasty and pretty strong.
