Review


Absolutely incredible food (for myself and also as reported by non-GF friends). So many options and elevated dishes. Server was knowledgeable, able to answer questions, and able to explain what could or could not be made GF (vast majority could be GF)! Each time a dish came to the table, it was announced that it was celiac safe or not. We shared several smaller plates -- hamachi crudo, special app with crab-stuffed fried squash flowers, whipped ricotta (Bread on side and brought out a GF cracker substitute for me) -- and I had the GF squid ink trottole pasta...and bought the fresh pasta to take home! When will I find GF squid ink pasta again?? All dessert options were GF or could be modified (removing bread from the cheese plate). My group shared a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich (so good) and a meringue dish. All agreed, one of the best meals we ever had. And to be so inclusive to accommodate celiac was just incredible.
