I ordered the Chicken Marsala with gluten free pasta (penne). Our server was really great. The pasta was slightly undercooked. I asked for a bread basket for my non celiac husband, and was offered gf bread. It was thick cut (like garlic toast) & I was excited to try it, but the crust was too tough to take a bite. The center of the bread itself was tender & okay.

Gluten free pasta and pizza available. I’ve tried both. The pizza was okay but the pasta was great— I had the shrimp Alfredo (the Alfredo sauce is gf!!). Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also have gf bread upon request.

ZERO stars. Do NOT eat here if you are gluten sensitive or Celiac. My daughter (Celiac) ordered a salad. She ate the salad and at the bottom of the plate is a linguini noodle. The establishment clearly didn’t consider her health when she STRESSED how important it was that she not eat any gluten. Had a similar experience two weeks earlier. 🤬 When she discussed the issue with the manager and waitress they were extremely rude. Do NOT eat at this establishment.

Very quaint place with lots of charm. Super nice staff, many options for dinner. GF warm bread with dipping oil on arrival. Knowledgeable staff and so many options and all with GF pasta. They even have GF pizza and always 1 GF dessert option. All desserts are homemade and all dinners are made to order. Delicious and many wine options. Try the coffee it’s yummy. If we lived closer this place would be frequently visited.

Knowledgeable staff helps with gluten-free choices. The food is excellent. Be careful: they don’t warn you about the huge portions!

Seriously, this is a unique, upscale yet family-friendly, family-owned Italian restaurant. We were treated really well and are considering making the three-hour round-trip from our home just to eat there again!

They have excellent gluten-free pizza crust that has exactly the right amount of crispness and chew. They even went so far as to make fresh gluten-free bread for me to have before the meal! Truly above and beyond.

Absolutely fantastic food. They know how to handle gluten free meals correctly. They cook the pasta in a separate pot and have gluten free bread if you let them know you want it. My favorite spot in town to eat not just because it's one of the few places I can eat... The food is always very good and fresh

Great Italian restaurant that is also very accommodating to gluten free. After informing waiter that I was celiac he let me know that they make all meals fresh to order and could easily prepare most meals gluten free if notified. I had the fettuccine alfredo. It was rich, creamy and pasta was a good texture. They also serve gluten free pizza and bread (homemade).
