Review of Luogo Restaurant

Our first visit here was amazing. I had an incredible GF pasta dish, celiac safe fritto misto and arancini. But then we went back and our waiter told us the fryer wasn’t dedicated. I know the owner’s family is celiac so I was surprised. The waiter said he spoke to the kitchen and they confirmed it wasn’t safe. The owner came by and I asked him. He said the waiter was wrong and the frier was safe, but then the waiter warned me again that the kitchen told him it was a shared frier. I was not only disappointed but confused! I didn’t know who to trust! Needless to say we skipped the fried starters. But then my pasta came—it was the same dish I’d had before but was totally different and looked awful. So bad in fact that our waiter brought it out but said he didn’t think it looked good so he would be happy to get me something else. I ended up with a very bland plain red sauce. It was so disappointing after that first experience. I want to go back one more time but I’m so confused about the frier! Who should I believe?
