Ciao Ristorante

Do not come here if you have celiac. I came here with my boyfriend and ordered the gluten free margarita pizza, the waitress even acknowledged that I was gluten free and made a little joke about it when I was ordering. She brought my pizza and my boyfriend’s pasta. My boyfriend’s pasta ended up having hard noodles and just wasn’t good. I noticed something was up with the pizza after eating two slices and I ended up asking if it was gluten free, and she told me no. She was really careless about the fact that I wasn’t able to have gluten.

Went there for a baby shower and it’s gorgeous. The staff was also amazing. However, they were very open and told me that even though they have gluten free crust, there is flour everywhere! They said cross contamination is everywhere. I did not eat anything as I have celiac and didn’t want to spend the night throwing up. Super sad but if you don’t have Celiac, maybe a good option.

I love Ciao Restaurant!! They have 1 gluten free pasta that you can use in different dishes. They have many gluten free dishes that are delicious ie: chicken Marsala, any chicken actually. They also have different Risotto dishes and delicious salads! It’s easy to eat here👍

We tried to eat here only to find they cook the gluten free pasta in the same water as the gluten pasta. There is no point in offering gluten-free pasta and it’s very dangerous to advertise it that way.

Celiac friendly?

No

This restaurant is not safe for celiacs. The gf pasta is boiled in the same water as regular pasta. They are very up front about it and the server explained that there is flour in the air. The food is delicious if you are non celiac!

I was told that GF pasta is cooked in same water as regular pasta! NOT SAFE FOR Celiacs! I appreciated the honesty!

They had something good for each member of party. When those with Celiac ordered something not compatible with a GF diet, our server suggested another menu option. This restaurant does not have GF pizza, but with so many other tasty options you a tree not missing a thing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The corn spaghetti can be sub'd for almost any pasta on the menu. The gnocchi is GF, as is the Alfredo sauce!! We had the chicken Marsala, which was the best we have ever had anywhere. They are very sensitive and aware of the GF diet needs, although the menu does not mention which items are GF. If you are a Celiac and love Italian, this place is perfect for you!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had spaghetti with meat sauce. The spaghetti is a corn spaghetti. They have a shared kitchen. They said that most of the chicken dishes can be made gluten-free. Friends of mine who are GF order the chicken marsala and love it. That's next on my list.
