Review of North Italia

2112 Pennsylvania Ave NW #102, Washington, DC 20037

Overall Rating

Review


The server seemed well-informed about avoiding gluten and provided good info about menu items. When she didn't know, she checked with the kitchen and relayed cogent information about what wouldn't be safe, and why. Their menu does not identify gluten-free items, but they say that almost everything on the menu is or can be prepared gluten-free.

Clearly they are making a good effort to accommodate gluten-free customers. Even so, I had some discomfort the next day that tracks my exposure to gluten. I had steak with risotto and a lentil soup; I suspect that if anything the soup would have been at greatest risk of cross-contamination.

Apart from that, the service was good and the food was delicious. I would not hesitate to return, although I would order more cautiously.
