Review of Esters Enoteca

I really wanted to love this place, as it has gotten stellar reviews for their food, as well as their gluten-free friendly menu. I came for a late lunch and got the Arancini appetizer, which I was so excited to try as it has been years since I’ve been able to find one gluten-free! However, it was pretty bland and lacking just basic salt. It came on a plate with tomato sauce, and even that was weirdly sweet. For my entre I got the Beef Cheeks Poutine, which tasted nothing like poutine. It was more like a Lomo Saltado, with all the ingredients being very disjointed: fries, meat, pickled onions, thin broth-like sauce, and few globs of not melted mozzarella...nothing really melded together. My boyfriend, on the other hand, got the porchetta panini and said it was delicious (I tried a little piece of the porchetta, and it was really good). I would give this place another try if I lived closer, as they were very friendly and accommodating, and they even have gluten free bread for sandwiches and can substitute gf pasta for any pasta dishes.

Celiac friendly?
