NEAPOLI

Avoid at all costs. While they have GF options marked on the menu, the staff is not knowledgeable and does not seem to care. I did my best to play it safe by ordering a burger instead of their GF pasta as I assumed it would not be made in a separate pot. Despite me reinforcing multiple times that I am gluten free and cannot have burger buns, fries, etc., my burger came out with fries on the plate. When I said this to the MANAGER - not just our waitress - he took the basket of fries off of my plate and felt that this solved the problem.

Update 3/7/19 - now called Neapoli and offering some new GF dishes. I ordered the shrimp risotto thinking that would be the safest dish but tested it with my Nima sensor twice and it came back w/ gluten found. They were very nice and accommodating and made me a GF pasta and bolognese dish which tested NO Gluten. I suspect some of the issues may be cross contamination and some unidentified ingredients that may contain gluten. I will go back but will be sure to use my Nima sensor until i am comfortable again.

Update - 5/5/18 - new kitchen staff and wait staff. I used my Nima sensor on pasta bolognese and a pork chop both came up gluten found. Staff was good and wanted to try again but i declined. Not sure if they changed any kitchen protocols. Sometimes the Nima picks up less than 20 ppm which is technically GF so that may have been the issue but better safe than sorry.

Update - 7/23/17 - i used my Nima sensor on the pasta bolognese and it tested GF.

Previous review earlier in 2017 -

I have celiac and have been eating here for a couple of years now. They are very accommodating. Although I am asymptotic, I have had my annual blood work after eating the pasta here w/ no issues. The food is always good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly wait service, made me feel accommodated, thus felt safe. Went as a party for a baptism which had around 30~ people. Got a field greens salad and the "gluten free" penne vodka which I could not finish it was so disgusting. When I was finished my brother tried it and didn't know how I was able to even eat half of it. The sauce was good, but the pasta was actually crunchy and had a weird taste. Actually had to leave because I felt the symptoms half an hour later and knew if I didn't leave then I would not be able to drive home and my brother was drinking so he could not either. Did not go to school today as my migraine and brainfog were too overwhelming.
