The reviews encouraged me to try this restaurant. The waiter assured me care is taken when dealing with allergies. I had a chicken and mozzarella "panini." Although, the person who delivered me meal said they don't make a panini, but the tasty gluten-free roll was warm, and did not crumble. The chips were replaced with a small salad. I react violently to gluten, and was fine. The meal was very tasty.

There is GF bread available for their bites and sandwiches. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. She shared that their potatoe chips may have cross contamination, so decided on a side salad. The GF bread was delicious. Pretty sensitive celiac here, no problems after eating. Delicious!

First place I went to in my trip to Arizona. Food was very tasty - I had a panini with a salad and the panini was so good. Paninis were made in a dedicated panini press and the bread is sourced from a dedicated GF facility.

I placed an online order and noted that I had Celiac & a gluten allergy and they prepared my food in a separate area, bagged my order separate than my friends, and put gluten free stickers on it!! I believe the manager was the one who helped us, I’m not quite sure, but he let me know that everything was being taken care of safely!!!

Long time postino visitor who was thrilled I can keep visiting post celiac diagnosis! The GF bruschetta is fabulous, and I honestly think I prefer it to the gluten bruschetta I used to order. The bread is some of the best I’ve had. The servers were all super knowledgeable about celiac, and assured me they have a separate area in the kitchen and use separate utensils, a ceramic plate rather than a wood board, new gloves, etc. for celiac orders. Very safe and fun to be able to order bruschetta with all my friends! Also, I love that the happy hour includes wine and pitchers of cider!

Holy Cow! This place was great! The bread is from Gluten Free Creations in AZ and is incredibly delicious! Very knowledgeable server. The Bruschetta and Panini bread Yum! My son who is not Celiac ordered GF so I could try it. He thought it was very good also. They also have creme brulee that is definitely a must have on my list anyway 😃

All of their bruschetta can be done totally gf! The bread was nice, thick French bread that was eerily too good (but I'm feeling fine!). I told them I had an allergy and they served it on a ceramic plate rather than the usual wood plank. There's definitely still risk of cross-contamination, but they did a great job as dad far as I could tell. The server was knowledgeable and helpful. I took one star off because it would be nice for them to have a list or more markings on their menu. Still, delicious!!!

Absolutely love this place. Very safe for celiacs! They take allergies and celiac very seriously. They offer gluten free bruschetta, as well as gf bread for paninis. Unlike other gf bread, theres is so soft and tastes so delicious so you’re def not feeling kike you’re missing out. The servers are all knowledgeable and help guide you through the menu. Food came out and they distinguished which was gf and it was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

10/10!! They are very knowledgeable about what can/cannot be made gluten free. I ordered the Chicken Mozzarella panini on gf bread. They do not have a separate panini press, but assured me that all gluten free paninis are wrapped in foil to avoid Cross contamination.

They offer gluten free charcuterie and bruschetta boards which I can’t wait to try next time.

This place is great. They have super yummy gluten-free bread that they turn into a delightful bruschetta type appetizer or a wonderfully thick grilled cheese sandwich with perfectly crispy edges and also into yummy panini style sandwiches. The grilled cheese is so crispy and crunchy and is served with creamy tomato soup. It is quite a delicious splurge!

We had a great evening at Postino. There is a bar code on the menu where you scan for a chart of detailed allergens! Additionally, they seemed to understand celiac disease and cross contamination as they don’t serve the gluten free bruschetta on the wooden boards the gluten is served on. Gluten free comes out on a white plate/platter. They also stated gluten free when the order was delivered to our table. Great experience! Didn’t get sick.
