Lombardo's Family of Restaurants

*This was at the 201 South 20th Street location* They have a gluten free menu upon request. I didn’t see anything I wanted on it so I asked for their gluten free penne with red sauce and grilled chicken. (I’m allergic to dairy so it limited my options further) Our server was really great and noted my allergies and I did not get sick. Since they weren’t as familiar with dairy free I just made sure to say no butter, cheese, or milk in anything. I am extremely sensitive to both gluten and dairy and I didn’t get sick.

My GF experience here was ok. They didn’t have any GF pasta or pizza dough, so I could only have the chicken with the pasta sauce and a side of a potato. It was decent, but not what I was expecting when I looked it up online. The waitress told me she’s never had anyone ever ask her about GF and this was her very first time ever seeing the GF menu (at least they had one though). I would eat here again but don’t expect GF pasta going into it.

I had a gluten free pepperoni pizza, it was St. Louis style thin crust and probably the closest thing to an Imo's pizza I've ever had since going gluten free, you locals will know what I'm talking about. They had a good sized gluten free menu. Not sure about cross contamination or anything as I wasn't there and wasn't the one who ordered. I felt pretty well fine afterwards I'd say

Nice options, food was good, waitress pretty knowledgeable. She needed to double check for the soup of the day, but at least she doubled checked.

My 2nd visit and plenty of GF options on the GF menu. This time I had the grilled Chicken Gorgonzola that included mushrooms, red onions, Gorgonzola in a white wine sauce. It was cooked to perfection.
