For any celiac/gluten allergy, I would not recommend. We brought our celiac child and asked for gluten free pasta. When we first arrived and asked if they had gluten free pasta we were told they did. I asked if it was prepared in fresh water or same water as the regular pasta we were told it was cooked in same water used for regular pasta. We asked if the kitchen could use a clean pot and fresh water to avoid cross contamination and when we asked if we could speak to someone to make sure there was no miscommunication with the kitchen, we were then told they did not have gluten free pasta and could only offer risotto which my child would not eat. They were not accommodating and honestly seemed like they just didn’t want to deal with making gluten free pasta safely for my child. Very disappointed that my entire family left and did not stay for dinner so we could find dinner that my child could eat.

Costa was absolutely phenomenal. Our server was extremely accommodating- we were some of the first people in the restaurant and since they hadn’t put anything else in the fryers yet, they were able to make us a gluten free fried calamari! The only unfortunate thing was that they haven’t been able to get their gluten free bread in a while due to supply chain issues (they do always have gluten free pasta). Would highly recommend!

They have gluten free crispy bread. They also have gluten free pasta and rice flour. I asked what was gluten free and they said they could make almost anything on the menu gluten free. Food was delicious!

I'm celiac, dairy-free, and peanut-free. My server was very helpful and he checked with the chef when he didn't know the answers to my questions. Eating out with celiac is hard, throw in dairy-free and it feels impossible. This establishment made it easy and the food was SO good! We ate here twice and I didn't get sick either time. Win!!

I am so happy to have found this place. Gluten free hot crusty bread was served the table - with olive oil for dipping!!! GF soup. The GF pasta was very flavorful and quite delicious- spicy sausage and broccoli rabe. You really get tired of bland food but not here. The menu is not labeled but our waiter was very knowledgeable and confident food would not be cross contaminated. (And no sickness)

Gave me my own crusty gluten free bread with my own oil to avoid cross contamination. Also offered gluten free penne and could make any pasta dish with GF pasta, even the special! Was so delicious and they made me feel very welcome. Was nervous about going due to all the pasta selections. Would highly recommend it!!

Loved the menu. And the service was great!
