This is the second time I have eaten here and it is a nice, quaint restaurant with a lot of charm. They have gluten free options and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Will definitely make the trip to come back and eat here.

I ordered the chicken picatta. Unfortunately it wasn't very good and tasted like something was missing.. Maybe something else would have been better. The menu is varied and there are a lot of GF options but I would not recommend what I had. I'm am not normally a picky eater but I didn't even want to finish my food.

Over 1/2 the menu can be GF & the menu is clear except it is not stated that they don’t have a dedicated GF fryer. Server was knowledgeable about cross contamination.

Love this place, they are very informative if you have a question for staff and everything is clearly listed on the menu if gf. I have been about 5 times and gotten various gf items with no reaction.

The food was excellent! We had reservations through Google/OpenTable (which are needed on most Fri/Sat nights), and the waitress knew our dietary needs from those notes. We were sadly told the GF calamari wasn’t fried in a separate fryer, but my non-celiac spouse had it and said it was awesome. They offer a make-your-own pasta plate (GF pasta, choice of sauce, choice of protein), and most entrees can be done with whatever GF pasta they have that day (our night was medium-size shells). She had chicken alfredo. I had grilled aioli salmon. Both were excellent and just the right portion size. We finished dinner with a flourless torte with raspberry drizzle. We will DEFINITELY go back to try more dishes, and you should, too! Ask for Cameron to serve you if you do!

GF is clearly marked on the menu. I had GF pasta with creamy pesto sauce. Almost everything on the menu can be made GF. Update. 2020. I had veal piccata over GF pasta. The veal was OK. Not great. The pasta was awful. Tough macaroni shells. Too al dente for me! I wish they would return to the GF pasta they used 2 years ago.

We visited on a busy Friday night. Clearly marked GF items on the menu. Excellent calamari, even if you’re not GF. The GF pasta is penne, so I would suggest getting a dish with a heavier sauce if you have pasta. I had the shrimp scampi, and the penne just did not work with the thin sauce.

Lots of GF options on the regular menu. Pasta was great! Calamari appetizer was awesome!Staff knowledgeable; kitchen precautions in place. Located in a trendy area in an old house turned restaurant; don’t let the outside look deceive you. I’m an extremely sensitive Celiac- I did NOT get sick.

Difabio's is amazing! If you have a gluten allergy you'll want to continue coming back as there are a ton of options! Be sure to get the gluten free fried calamari, you won't regret it.
