La Casa Narcisi Winery

Beautiful outdoor patio and excellent food. They have a GF flatbread that is not on the menu and can serve GF penne in a number of ways. Their GF selections aren’t numerous as it is primarily an Italian restaurant but they have a few salads and entrees. I cannot speak to their safety as I can handle a small amount of cross contamination.

I was offered gluten free flat bread in place of the regular naan they serve. When it came to the table it looked like it had been cooked in a brick oven. It had char and crisp to it. I felt a little nervous that maybe they had cooked it directly in the regular pizza oven with the rest of the regular naan bread. But i talked myself out of the nerves because it was a really classy place with a great reputation. Well, friends, it was cooked in that same oven and i was incredibly sick all night. Moral: Don’t eat the flat bread. I’m really bummed out because this place was amazing and beautiful. I will give it another shot and maybe get a steak. No more food cooked in a common pizza oven for me.

We came here two years in a row while on vacation. I had pizza once and gluten-free pasta the other time, but both times was overjoyed to have gf garlic bread/flatbread and great service. Came back today and asked about their gf menu (menu was only available by QR code due to COVID). We asked someone who appeared to be a manager if there was a separate gluten-free menu online and were told that there was not, because they "only have two gf items-pizza and pasta." When I asked if they still had the gf garlic bread, I was told "no, we've never had that." I said they used to last year and was told they were new management, so I guess this won't be a necessary stop for me anymore! Manager seemed pretty brusque about being asked about gf options. I'm not celiac (just strongly gf intolerant), so I'll take my chances, but I miss the flatbread and friendly helpful service!

I absolutely love this place! There are many GF choices with their GF pasta and GF flat bread. You can even order the flatbread to dip in the oil they provide with the regular bread eaters - just ask for a separate oil for GF dipping. I’ve eaten here a handful of times with no issues. The wine is good and the atmosphere makes me feel like I’m back in Napa. What a great gem Gibsonia has here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Horrible! Service was so rude. They want you to only eat in the restaurant not anywhere else. Our crew was all set up in the bar area. They have regular pizza. We ordered many bottles of wine. They would not let me snack on my gluten free pretzels. Manager came out and yelled at us. She didn’t want to explain the rules or anything. I was able to order a cheese platter for $16! Not worth it. Absolutely horrible service for allergies. Gift shop wasn’t any help either.
