Review of Petrini's

Based on the reviews, I was really excited to try this place. Menu is marked with lots of GF options. However, I ordered one of the GF options and advised that I have a gluten allergy. The waitress advised they can not make tue option that I selected gluten free. I told her the menu item I had chosen was marked as a GF item. She reiterated that I would need to choose something else that can actually be made gluten free. I made a different selection that came with a salad. I asked if there was anything on the salad that was not gluten free. She said it has croutons and I asked if they could be left off the salad. I apologized for the inconvenience as the waitress was seemingly irritated and reiterated that I have an allergy and just want to be sure. The waitress said no problem and walked away. The salad came out with croutons on it. At this point, I was feeling uncomfortable so my husband ate the salad instead of sending it back.

When our food came out, a different waitress came out and advised on the ingredients of my pasta dish and advised that it was made separate from everything else and with all gluten free ingredients. I had no reaction to the pasta and it was delicious.

Overall, I’d recommend this restaurant because the pasta was delicious and I had no reaction, but it really can be a completely different experience based on what server you have.
