Menu with easily identified GF choices, plus all pasta dishes can be made GF. Very knowledgeable waitstaff and willing to clarify with the executive chef if dishes can be prepared GF. Excellent service. Food is consistently delicious. Always a memorable dining experience.

My son got a gluten free dish here and he spent the night throwing up. They brought him gluten pasta. Do. Not. Eat. Here.

Manager and host understand Celiac and cross contamination. Servers need a little more education. My partner ordered steak and fries which the sever said was GF. Unsure about it, we asked to talk to manager and he confirmed our suspicions that the fries are fried in deep fryer used for other foods. I would have enjoyed a good French fry, but…

They do have GF pasta and the manager explained potential cross contamination in shipping and from the manufacturer. Appropriate cautions. I had the penne pasta with sausage and did ok. The prosciutto and melon appetizer is very good.

I will try again.

Best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had. Taste and texture were superb! I had the Penne alla Romana. I would change NOTHING about the dish. I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks for my birthday.

Although the menu has lots of pasta dishes there are many meat and fish dishes which are gluten free. The staff takes great care in noting instances of Celiac Disease to assure no cross contamination. The food, ambiance and service are outstanding. We’ve never had a problem and will keep coming back time and time again.

We happened upon this restaurant when visiting family in Old Town. I have been recently diagnosed with celiacs, and am struggling to find a decent meal these days that doesn't make me sick. Well, not only did Landini Brothers provide a decent meal, but they provided the most delicious gluten free pasta dish that I have had in months!! The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free issues and was very willing to accommodate. He spent time talking to me and we found fabulous options. My husband and son, who are not gluten free found wonderful, non-gluten free dishes that they bragged about all night. We were so impressed with this meal, that we went back several nights later. Definitely visit Landini Brothers...you will enjoy every morsel.
