da Vinci's Italian Restaurant

My daughter and I have Celiac. We tried the chicken Alfredo and shrimp Alfredo. It came with GF garlic bread and GF salad. I'd say the quality was like home cooking. We were assured that the Alfredo and meat is GF, the GF pasta is cooked in fresh water, and kept separate from regular pasta and the bread (as well as the GF pizza) doesn't come in contact with surfaces that are cross-contaminated. The garlic bread seemed like Udi's sandwich bread, but we liked it. They also said the coconut caramel pie is GF, but had just run out, so we didn't try it. They did say the meat sauce is NOT GF, so we will sub marinara if we want to try red sauce. No reactions, yay! We will go back.

Our server told me I had nothing to worry about because they take gluten free pizza/pasta seriously. I took a chance, but, unfortunately I was sick the next day. It’s unfortunate that there are so few places for a celiac to go eat and have a safe meal. I’m giving one star for our excellent server! Too bad!

Celiac friendly?

No

Have been here twice because they say they have gluten free pasta, both times they didn’t. The last time we were told 20 minutes after we put our on in. Also, the salad that comes with meal had a piece of bread crust at the bottom. Wait staff not educated on food safety. Avoid this place!
