Great gluten-free Food. Extra gluten-free Menu. We tried the Garlic-Bread as a starter, Pasta, Pizza and the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious!

No GF menu, the waitress just said we could talk about what we wanted and go to modify. No GF bread they had the GF pizza crust and offered to make bruschetta on it…but then they didn’t have the ingredients for bruschetta. Didnt get sick!

Great staff and plenty of options. The food was good, but not great. My favorite part was the gluten free bread and dipping sauce.

Ian our server was fantastic. I had a gluten free pasta dish that was great. Bruschetta was also great it came out with a gluten free flatbread that tasted phenomenal. We have come back several times the gluten free pizza is amazing, Anthony our server was wonderful. Definitely a place to eat.

I will admit first that it was very busy when we went, which often makes it difficult to get good answers about GF items. I asked about gluten free options and our server said yes there are some, but didn’t elaborate. He walked off before I could ask anything else. When he came back he asked what we wanted to order, and I said I wasn’t sure and needed help figuring out what I could eat. He walked away. I assumed he was going to get a manager or chef or someone to help. But then he came back and asked if we were ready yet, and was either very distracted or agitated. I couldn’t tell which. I just ended up not eating. Everyone else ordered and ate, and I found somewhere else to grab food when we left. There are so many options on the Riverwalk that are safe, that I won’t even try this one again.

We asked our waiter for a GF menu. He couldn’t provide one for us but he was extremely knowledgeable about ingredients and what would/wouldn’t work. My wife ordered the Shrimp Paesano with GF noodles. The waiter said he couldn’t do that exactly as on the menu, but he could have the floured shrimp substituted for grilled. The dinner turned out deliciously and she didn’t get sick. He came back after we finished and mentioned their GF chocolate cake. We declined but are excited about that for future visits!

Note that other locations offer GF bread but this location does not. Not a deal breaker for us, but for those that have visited other locations, keep that in mind.

I had such a fantastic experience here! We got there right when they opened and there was a huge line, but our waiter was VERY attentive, knowledgeable, and wasn’t afraid to check with the kitchen on any questions I have.

I explained the celiac thing, and specified that my noodles had to not only be gluten free, but needed to be cooked in fresh water. He confirmed that the Alfredo was also gluten free (i know it “should” be, but you never know for sure), then offered me a special off the menu bread so I could have bread too.

You guys. Oh my god. The off the menu gluten free bread was AMAZING! It was better than the regular bread, and sounded better than most of the other appetizers. It was thin and crunchy, but still soft on the inside, and coated with some kind of Parmesan that made it crispy. It filled the void that mozzarella sticks or fried ravioli usually fill.

The rest of the food was fantastic! The Alfredo was thick and flavorful. My family raved about each of their meals. It was above and beyond delicious, and Eli made me feel very safe.

Meh. They had GF pasta (what I had) but the Alfredo sauce was runny and bland, and the pasta wasn’t cooked long enough. No one thing was especially awful, but it definitely wasn’t amazing or worth the more than $75 it cost for two people to have one entre and an appetizer. Somehow even the caprese was blah.

We ate here tonight with our celiac kiddo. He did enjoy his GF shrimp fettuccine but the rest of the family were not impressed. Portions were a great size but for us the food and service just missed the mark. Bonus points for having a GF menu though!

Their gluten free fettuccine with lemon butter sauce and grilled shrimp is to die for. Literally the best gluten free pasta dish I’ve had in the 10 years I’ve know to have celiac!!

I ordered a house salad and chicken fettuccine alfredo after discussing my Celiac with the server. The first batch tested positive for gluten with my Nima and it turns out the cooked the pasta with regular pasta water. They remade it and that plate was fine.

Gluten free menu is great, and in addition to those “from the grill” plates, you can also order GF fettuccine with shrimp and Alfredo or their wonderful lemon butter sauce like I did. Amazing!!! Service is top notch.

They were very friendly and checked everything for me. They had gluten free pasta and creme brûlée. I’m very sensitive and I didn’t get sick. Hurray!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable- the gluten free menu is only online. Check before you go or have it pre-loaded on your phone. I ordered veggie skewers with a side of grilled chicken. My husband (a gluten conscious fella) ordered gf fettuccine with spicy red clam sauce. After two bites, he found penne pasta in his dish- just as I took a bite. (I promptly spit it out.) The manager came immediately to our table to apologize profusely. While they are gluten “FRIENDLY”, I would not yet call them CELIAC friendly. While I AM still feeling well, the night is young. I do have confidence in the new manager tho. Talk to him- Spencer- before you order.

Ordered a gluten free pasta dish which was delicious and after eating a quarter of it the manager came out to tell me they gave me the wrong dish and they gave me a wheat based pasta. They were apologetic and I didn't have to pay for it but the damage was already done. Be very careful when eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Out of gluten-free pasta. Had to check on gluten-free pizza. No gluten-free menu in person, only online. Disappointing.

Out of GF pasta on a Thursday night. Not good for a busy Riverwalk restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free margherita pizza was decent but missing some seasoning or something. They ran out of GF pasta, so if you are hoping for pasta you may want to call ahead.

Good food, they had a batch of gluten free linguini that was gone when I came in for dinner, had a salad with grilled chicken and had to substitute dressing. No gluten free menu, no gluten free pizza, certainly no gluten free bread for dipping.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The service was very good and the staff pleasant. The food tasted amazing however the GF pizza did make me sick. It may have been an issue of cross contamination but I would be very careful here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great service, great outdoor seating on the Riverwalk and the GF pizza was great! We also had the pepper crusted tuna appetizer and it was also great! No problems with gluten!

Excellent restaurant in beautiful setting. Knowledgeable about gf with a separate menu. Food delicious.
