So sad to report that I got glutened eating here… I was so excited after seeing all of the great reviews. As I was eating my pasta, I noticed a noodle that was totally different than the rest in the dish. I showed it to the staff and they said they have a dedicated GF pot, so it was likely still a GF noodle just a different type, but that there was a small chance something happened before the pasta reached their restaurant with the supplier/the pasta bag.

Like clockwork, I got sick awhile later after what seems to be my standard reaction time (newly diagnosed). I hope this was a one time fluke that doesn’t happen to others!

Loved this restaurant! I have celiacs and the staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free options and even made recommendations. I did not get sick from anything. I had the gluten free bruschetta (okay), apple and frise salad (great), gluten free black truffle pasta (amazing), and the affogato, which was to die for!

Fantastic restaurant! Best meal we’ve had in a long time. Staff knowledgeable about gf and most of their options were gf or could be made gf. We had an appetizer of tomato, burrata and balsamic (caprese) which was so flavorful. They brought gf bread with chickpea pesto. I had Iberico Pork Pluma with such good mushrooms. My husband had the tenderloin, perfectly prepared, and asparagus. All cooked on wood grill that added so much flavor. Desserts were almond cake and flourless chocolate torta, both gf. The chef came to our table and it was evident he is dedicated to excellent food and accommodating allergies. It was such a memorable meal and I can’t wait to be back in town to go again. Highly recommend!

Unbelievably gluten free and so delicious! The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable about gluten free choices. They even have gf pasta. Gluten bread and desserts! The risotto and stuffed artichokes were amazing. Wish I could have tried the dessert but alas I was well fed! Breakfast at the hotel was also just as good.
