Owner has celiac so the restaurant understands the safety protocols. My teen loves the GF pizza that is prepared in a separate area. We haven’t tried the GF pasta yet but will update when we do.

This is the only Italian restaurant in the area that offers gluten free ravioli! Most only offer penne as a gf pasta choice. The taste was delicious and the texture was identical to regular ravioli. I will be trying the gf pizza next. Great prices compared to other local Italian options.

Amazing gluten free food! Pizza and pasta. One of the owner's (I think) has Celiac so this place is very safe to eat. All the salad dressings are homemade and gluten free. Many of the pasta dishes can be made gluten free. My favorite is the Spaghetti Carbonara. I have not tried the pizza yet but I'm sure it's as good as their other gluten free food.

This will forever remain one of my favorite pizza places. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable of Celiac Disease. They prepare their pizzas in a separate area for allergies. I have never once gotten sick!

I've lived here for four years and have never eaten here until today. The waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac disease and cross contamination. I was informed the owner's wife is celiac and so they take the upmost precautions with handling their food. As a celiac, it's always scary to try a new place. I will definitely be back.

Excellent gluten-free pizza and an incredibly kind staff. They only draw is their macaroni (my non-gf 6-year-old's restaurant meal of choice) is very bland (according to everyone else at the table).

We were driving down to San Diego and needed to find a place for lunch. This restaurant popped up on the app so we decided to give it a try and we loved it. All food was really good and they have a huge selection of GF options. They are knowledgeable about Celiac and cross-contamination, so I felt safe feeding my daughter there (she is the one with Celiac.) Their GF pizza was probably the best we've tried, and we've sampled many before. Their regular pizza was excellent as well. Service was quick and friendly, and the place was cute. It will be our go-to place when we are in the area.

Fantastic food. Not only is it absolutely gluten free, they also can make 90% of the menu gluten free. The owners wife has celiacs so you know this food is safe. My husband and I had pizza last night, they even had a gluten free pesto which I have missed pesto so much. They also offered an Alfredo pizza which I can't wait to try. Tonight we had pasta my husband had spaghetti and Italian sausage and I ravioli. This is by far going to be a frequent spot of ours. Not only is it great gluten free food it's just amazing food! Can't rave enough about this gem. You have to try it!
