Review


I recently dined at this restaurant that proudly advertised gluten-free options, but my experience left me deeply disappointed. As someone with a gluten allergy, I was excited to try their offerings, but to my dismay, gluten was still present in the dishes. When I inquired with the waitress about gluten-free choices, she candidly admitted that nothing in their kitchen was safe for someone with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. Some examples were gluten free pasta boiled in same water as regular pasta, all utensils and kitchen equipment is used on gluten free & regular offerings along with the same pizza oven & pans used on all pizzas..

This revelation was quite alarming and unsettling, as I ended up experiencing severe symptoms after my meal. I believe it's essential for a restaurant to be transparent and accurate about their gluten-free claims, especially for individuals who rely on them for safe dining options. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone with serious gluten allergies or celiac disease due to the potential health risks involved.
