Gluten free pasta. Other gluten free options.

We went there hoping that it would be as good as the restaurant that closed in Lafayette. Just as pricey, not even close on quality or support to gluten free. Fewer choices, much lower commitment to providing viable, quality, gluten free options. Not at all worth the price.

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible food. GF noodles were slimy and floating in a broth instead of light garlic and olive. Place was clean and cute but wouldn't eat there again.

They had GF pasta, pizza and ravioli options to be subbed for their regular menu. I had the ravioli which taste great though wasn't a fan of the chicken in the Pinocchio's Ravoli. Salad Dressings were all made in house and Gf per our server. She also said they had a GF dessert option but we didn't try it. Overall, a very basic Italian restaurant but not truly authentic gourmet Italian food.

I would give it a half star if I could. server was rude when I asked her about gluten free options. the reviews talk about how many options are available and yet, everything I asked about was not gluten free. I ordered garlic bread and artichoke dip which was good. and ordered fettuccine Alfredo and Caesar salad. the salad dressing was watery and gross. and I ate about 2 bites of the fettucine Alfredo. it was awful. bad service. bad food. clean bathrooms though and the owner seemed quite nice.

Excellent food and staff was wonderful for a walk in on Valentine's Day. The noodles tasted homemade. Wish I lived closer.

Well they do have a few gluten free pasta Choices I was disappointed to know the pasta, ravioli and pizza crust are all frozen and come from a wholesale distributor. Garlic bread was also gluten free (frozen) I asked about all the sauces and seasoning and was told all is GF. They also charged a $10.50 up charge for GF bread and pasta. Downside, an hour later I was sick. Not sure what had gluten in it.

Tons of options! They can do anything gluten free, even garlic bread!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

BEST GF spaghetti noodles I've ever had. They taste like thick, homemade, real spaghetti noodles. 4 stars because their sauce could use some flavor!
