Review


Our server was extremely concientious and I really appreciated it. She was careful to point out that, although they can make the pizza on a GF crust, they do not have Celiac-safe pizza kitchen space or oven. I was able to try some of the chicken skewers, and the grilled octopus (which was delicious, but definitely a “small plate”). I tried the pasta seafood bolognese, which was very different, but I did like it after I got used to it, (they just substitute GF pasta, in a separate pot) with the sauce. (There is no squid ink GF pasta; no GF gnocchetti, etc…) Both the desserts were GF, so my husband and I both tried the chocolate budino, which was good, but not hugely sweet (so, great for those who love salty desserts). Fun wine and drink list.

They will hand mark the menu for you and outline what exactly you can and cannot eat.

Hence, I am surprised to see recent reviews from celiacs stating the pizza is GF. While they may have changed their kitchen setup recently, both times I dined here in the summer of 2022, I was told to NOT get the pizza. They told me they could not provide a separate cook space and lots of flour is used for their regular pizzas. This obviously could’ve changed in the last year or so though, so I would inquire further about pizza before ordering.

Otherwise, pretty much every pasta can be made gluten-free (noodles are cooked in their own pot) and all the yakitori is safe.

This was great! I got the gf pasta (MENTAIKO LUMACHE) and the Yakitori. Great drinks too! And they have a whiskey bar on the second floor that serves gf cocktails too. The server was knowledgeable on celiac and took precautions about my food. I wouldn’t trust the pizza if you’re celiac since it’s a shared space and shared oven but to each their own.
