Oops!! Please run from Buona Forchetta in Liberty Station if you are gluten sensitive. The manager was SO confident they could prepare the roasted chicken special GF. The plate I was served took 1 hour to prepare, had gummy flour all over the meat, and I was assured that the chef specially prepared this using house-blended special gluten free rice flour. It had the taste and consistency of wheat, not like rice at all. Two bites and my nose closes from inflammation and painful banging in my stomach. Don't even try to order GF here. I even spoke to the manager in his native language, Italian, in detail about how they would prepare this supposedly GF dish. They were nice about it and didn't charge me, but the place is completely unsafe. Worst part is their assurance that the meal will be GF, without the capacity to deliver or figure out what went wrong. Advice: just have a glass of wine here and get the safe roasted chicken at the takeout place in Liberty Market, nextdoor.
