Food was great, staff was knowledgeable about cross-contamination! Almost all of the menu is gluten free, only the things with gluten, which are the ravioli, are marked. They have gluten-free bread too.

Fanfreakingtastic!! By far the best GF pasta I’ve had. The whole menu (minus the ravioli) is GF. Chicken parm, meatballs, bolognese, truffle fries- everything. They even had a couple GF beers too. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was fun as well. I’m so thankful I stumbled upon this gem. We’ll definitely be back.

Love when I can get friend Calamari and Chicken Parm! 98% of menu can be done GF. The only downside was the side pasta was a little over cooked, but chicken was excellent.

98% of our menu has a gluten free option. All fried items are naturally gluten free, so there is NO cross contamination at all. The only 2 items that do not have a gluten free option are Lobster Ravioli and Cheese Ravioli. However, if you are looking for GF lobster options, I would highly recommend the Lobster Carbonara or the Mariscada. Additionally, all of our gluten free pasta is prepared on a designated cooking station on the stove. Lastly, we also offer gluten free bread with your meal so you can enjoy dipping it in oil and balsamic!

The BEST gluten free meal I have ever had! I live in CT and have traveled many places and nothing compares. I’ve never had chicken parm from a restaurant that is breaded and fried. Their selection is huge and they even have delicious gluten free bread that they don’t up charge! The service is wonderful, knowledgeable and a nice atmosphere. They even have gluten free beer! There are other restaurants in the North End that serve gluten free BUT it’s not like this.. at all! You will not be disappointed!! I’ve been here twice and I am looking forward to going back.

We had delicious locally made apps. Our server was very knowledgable about gluten and Celiac disease. We ordered the tagliatelle with mushroom and tagliatelle with chicken and broccoli. The GF pasta was clearly homemade and delicious. The sauces were unique and matched well. They brought GF bread as well! There was a nice selection of GF beers and a cider. It was great to be able to go out safely in the North End of Boston. We will definitely be back to explore other options!!!

Entire menu (minus ravioli) is or can be made gf. Delicious pasta and not just the penne everyone else serves! Looked homemade. Servings small and prices high but sometimes worth the splurge. Warmed udi’s buns served as table bread with oil & vinegar for dipping.

I emailed with Arlene & John, the owners, ahead of my visit. I am dairy free as well as celiac. They went out of their way to prepare a safe and delicious meal for me. I had chicken piccata, which is not on their menu, but they happily made this for me. It was incredibly flavorful and really special to receive such detailed care. Highly recommend!

So glad we went here. So good. So friendly. And we felt safe. My husband is celiac and we had chicken broccoli Alfredo and Veal parm. Both celiac friendly for sharing purposes. I took one for the team. But as a non celiac I will say it was so good. Glad to find a safe delicious restaurant so we can return to the Northend.

IF YOU ARE GF (and in the North End) YOU MUST COME HERE! My whole party had a wonderful experience. Our server Dominick was so kind, honest and knowledgeable and almost the ENTIRE menu is gluten free. No one in my party has Celiac except me and everyone had a great time. All the fried things (calamari, oysters, Parmesan, fries) were so tasty to them as well. As a local in Cambridge I am so excited to (finally!) have an inclusive, modern, option in the North End. Can’t wait to bring all future visitors (GF and otherwise) here!

Had an amazing pasta dish here! The pasta was perfectly aldente. Was told they could make their entire menu gf, including the chicken parm. The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. They were busy but accommodated us without a reservation on a Saturday night.
