Folino Estate

I was told today that the fryer is always at risk of cross contamination but that the pizza is cooked separately (gave the “flour in the air” disclaimer) and that pasta is cooked in separate water. Very different info from reviews below. Not sure what to believe!

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Average

I asked about the pizza prior to ordering. The waitress assured me that the gf was cooked on a separate pan. I also inquired about the brussel sprouts appetizer. The menu says fried, so I asked if they could saute them. They said yes. They were so good. My friend and I split the brownie dessert. She had the brownie. I ate the Gelato. They separated them on the plate. *pasta is cooked in the same water as regular pasta! Not safe at all!

Great atmosphere and great wine to sip on site or buy for take-home. Wine is GF!

Unsure about safeness of their food.

They have GF options, but was disorganized and unsafe.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went w/ friends and one of our group is gluten sensitive. The waitress advised GF pizza is baked in its own tray but same oven/atmosphere as the gluten pizza. GF pasta is also offered but the waitress clarified the GF pasta is boiled in the same water as the gluten pasta. This may be ok for someone w/ a sensitivity, but I will NOT take my daughter here as she truly has Celiac. While the waitress was nice, she did not seem overly trained as my friend asked for other options, and I had to mention I saw red potatoes on the menu. So the staff is most likely not well versed on celiac disease.
