Review of Osteria Pastella

I was so excited this restaurant advertises gluten free. I have a family of 5 and I’m the only Celiac. We ordered the assortment of local cured meat cheese and crostini. They brought all gluten free crostini - although we let them know the rest of the family was fine. We simply asked for them to separate the crostini. It was amazing. The rest of my family members even enjoyed! I had the Flambé tagliatelle with truffle in grana Padano cheese wheel. They prepare this for gluten eating customers in the actual cheese wheel but prepare the gluten free separately in the kitchen. I asked several times if they cook the gluten free pasta in separate water. They said yes. So far I feel fine! It looked amazing. The taste was blander than the regular (taste tested by my daughter) I would give it a 7.1 rating. I would recommend especially if you have gluten eating family members. It’s the best meal I’ve had so far in Italy. I will update if I get sick tonight!
