Overall Rating

Review


I'm a very sensitive celiac and was nervous about having anything to eat here. I was out for a group dinner and was prepared to have a glass of wine to be polite and eat afterwards.

The server asked about allergies and was very knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination and I'm happy to say I had an amazing meal in good company and no symptoms/issues.

There is a dedicated gluten free fryer used for the Parmesan fries, a separate oven for the cauliflower crust, and the gluten free pasta options are cooked in separate/dedicated gluten free cookware. Since the kitchen works with flour regularly there are small amounts of gluten in the air but I'm thrilled to report I had no symptoms at all. The food I was able to have was handled properly and was absolutely fantastic.

If you're looking for pasta - try the vodka sauce pasta. SO good.
