August 2023: Server was knowledgeable and also double-checked on the special for me, so I got to have a fabulous saltimboca proscuitto-wrapped salmon and polenta!

Disappointing that they’re an italian restaurant and don’t offer GF pizza or pasta. Although it is nice they have a dedicated gf menu, all the options are things that are naturally gluten free.

Visiting from out of state on a work trip. I was impressed with the GF options. However, they failed me when it came to dessert. I asked about the Budino and the waitress said it could be made GF. She brings it to the table, tells me it’s GF, but then tells my co-worker that they had to remake hers because the kitchen put a topping on it that wasn’t GF so she had to ask them to remake it especially since the ice cream melted. I questioned if mine was definitely GF and she reassured me yes. Within an hour the bloat started. I was up all night with an extremely hard stomach and gas pains, which was unfortunate when I needed the sleep. Anything I took didn’t help, so it has to of been a large amount of gluten. So disappointing.

They said they were out of gluten free pasta and had like... 4 options to choose from most of which were fish. We left without ordering.

Manager and waitress we had were very knowledgeable about Celiac. They have a scratch kitchen, and are able to prepare gluten free dishes separately to ensure you have a safe meal. They do have a pretty large gluten free menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was surprised that Ciao Bella had such a large gluten free menu. You can sub gluten free pasta into most of the pasta dishes. They had quite a few other entrees that were gluten free too. I had the risotto and it was excellent. They had quite a few GF dessert options. I had the budino (like molten chocolate cake) and it was amazing - worth going if you only get dessert! I’m not celiac but the server seemed very knowledgeable, asking “allergy or preference?” The only reason I can’t give it five stars is because their GF menu is a pain in the a@@ to read. It’s just a bulleted list and you have to cross reference each item to the regular menu in order to see the descriptions/ingredients of each item.
