Review of Rodi Italian

My husband and I decided to give Rodi a try since it was a newer restaurant near us and has gotten some good reviews on their gf menu items. I had the beet, arugula & goat cheese salad as my first course and the porcini mushroom risotto as my main course, which is listed as gluten free on their menu. We mentioned needing to order gf items to the hostess when she seated us & she said “no problem”, that she also was gf and called out the numerous gf menu items. After finishing our meals, I felt the familiar gluten sickness almost immediately. It could be that they’re cooking risotto in the same pan as regular pasta, or there are some hidden ingredients that contain gluten. Could also be mixing salads in the same bowl as Cesar salads with croutons. In any case there is some extreme cross contamination & I would not risk it. Delicious food but worst case of glutening for me in a very long time.
