Owner is celiac & staff is educated on cc. Delicious! Caprese salad & shrimp carbonara (gf pasta & prepared separately) were some of the best I’ve had!

I tried this place out and I will first say I think it’s safe. I have not gotten sick, and the pasta I got did taste good. But I do feel a little ripped off. The dish itself was $24 so not horrible, though it was very small and I had to eat something else at home to fill me after the meal because I was still hungry. The problem was that to make it gluten free they charged an extra $6. It did not say the up-charge on the menu, nor did the waiter say anything when I ordered it. I got the bill and was just in shock to be honest that they would charge that much to make it gluten free. I feel like it’s taking advantage of an allergy at that point and I’m very disappointed. Also I did get a drink during happy hour and they didn’t charge me the happy hour price, and gave me attitude when I pointed it out and they had to adjust it.

Ate here based on reviews from this app, and wasn’t disappointed! It’s a slightly pricier place, but I felt like the quality of the food justified it. I am relatively sensitive to cross-contamination and had no issues after eating here. Did not try their GF pasta, but their GF pizza was excellent (and they have gluten free appetizers *and* desserts available as well!)

My daughter and I are super sensitive celiacs and had the most amazing experience here. They are so knowledgeable. All gf pastas are cooked in separate water, separate utensils, they ensured everything was safe and used clean utensils. Delicious food. Highly recommended!

They were knowledgeable; the waiter told me about every dish that could be made gluten-free. They will make some pasta dishes gluten-free. They also have gluten-free pizza crust. I had fettuccine primavera, and it was very good. They substituted out the noodles for gluten-free penne noodles. I also had some of the Caprese salad which was also good.

Went here just to have wine with friends and was pleasantly surprised to find out they are accommodating to special diets. Don't have a gf menu, but servers will point out options for you. Our server heard I had celiac and minutes later the owner was at our table talking to us about their menu and all the precautions they take since his mom has celiac! Chef is very knowledgeable. I ended up ordering zucchini pasta with eggplant parmigiana and OMG, one of the best tasting meals I have ever had, even before going gf.
