Review of Italia Gardens

This is by NO means in any stretch of the imagination a gluten free facility. Celiacs BEWARE! I went there as soon as they opened on a Weds. The 1st thing I said was I have celiac & need a gluten free menu. The waitress said I'll have to find it. But, it's pretty simple, we have GF mostaccoli & spaghetti. The sauce you can have is tomato. The others have meat with gluten or have flour as a thickener. The woman was very Iffy & since I am highly sensitive to even airborne I was shocked they didn't have a clean section to even prepare what I would have ordered. Then as I'm sitting there waiting for my friend to arrive, I noticed a HUGE Commercial Mixer standing by the front door & lobby area which I had just walked past. I also noticed that is where they have their bread oven! As soon as I saw an employee rolling out the HUGE mixing bowl I couldn't leave there fast enough before he started the mixer. They asked what's wrong as I practically ran out of there holding my breath. I said RIGHT there is what's wrong! You make bread at your FRONT DOOR! Celiacs & HIGHLY gluten sensitive people should not even be in here! I couldn't leave fast enough. So unless you aren't sensitive to airborne gluten, their gf food MIGHT be okay. I wasn't willing to risk it!!!

Celiac friendly?

No
