My Sister, niece and I are Celiac. The three of us along with another niece and my father who are not celiac wanted to find a place near the airport to have a family dinner togehter. I wrote an email to DiCicco's on their website and asked explicitly what celiac safe options they had. They responded via email telling me they had gluten free pasta, pizza, and other options.

We got to the restaurant and sat down. I had ordered a bottle of wine and we asked about some appitizers. The server decided to talk to the manager when I asked about cross contaimitation. The result was that the pasta, which is boiled in the same pasta water as the regular pasta, and the pizza which was placed directly on the oven stone that the regular pizza goes on pretty much guarenteed that the food is cross contaminated and not celiac safe. We ended up having to cancel our order and leave to get food elsewhere.

I feel a little bad leaving such a poor review because they were knowlegable about celiac disease and cross contamination (hence the 2nd star) and very friendly but whoever was responding to the email should have responded honestly instead of leading us to go to their restaurant only to have to leave. What a waste of our time, and time is precious.

We ended up eating at Red Robin which has always had amazing celiac safe options available. I can't reccomend this place if you suffer from celiac disease.

Celiac friendly?

No

They no longer boil the GF pasta separately so it’s boil in the same water as gluten pasta. You can get a delicious steak salad but they warn you that cross contamination is likely. Not a celiac safe place anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious options. No GF bread, but server was knowledgeable and sensitive to GF options. GF pasta for $5 additional fee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service and food is amazing! Lots of gluten free options! They don’t have a gluten free menu but most items can be made to order!
