Review of Labriola Café

Very poorly trained staff. You order, then take a seat. They have GF pasta, GF pizza, and other naturally GF options like rotisserie chicken. I asked the cashier if I could order a specific pasta dish with GF pasta. He said no. I was surprised. He asked a chef. Then he said we only have 2 types of GF pasta. I said, I know, I’m asking if I can get one of those with this meal, and if their Italian sausage was GF. He asked a different chef and came back saying it was fine (btw, the $9.75 dish became 12.75 with GF pasta, the highest markup I’ve ever seen). The meal was fine and I didn’t get sick, but I was nervous. Then I went to get gelato. I asked, which ones were GF. This kid says none of them. I was dumbfounded. I asked him to ask a manager. He said they all have sugar. I told him to go ask. A manager came over and said I could only have the orange sorbet. I looked at her speechless and confused. I asked her why she says that. She said all the others have dairy. I told her “do any of them have wheat?” And she said “OOH, GLUUTTEN FREE?!?” She said yes, you can have any of of the ones without cookies. I asked her what the ingredients were and decided on something.

I’m fine, so 3 Stars, but I have difficulty recommending this to anyone GF.

Celiac friendly?
