Great atmosphere but terrible service and safety. I fortunately did not get sick but seemed like they were not concerned about allergies even after explaining in detail. Has items marked on the menu but when asked said it would be hard to make it gluten free….Brought out my order with cheese on the side which I’m also allergic to and found cheese pieces throughout. Also messed up almost every other meal of the group I was with.

I ordered the peppered pork tenderloin which was supposed to be gluten free but after taking a few bites I immediately started feeling sick. The menu online says the pork is not gluten free so I don’t know if there was a mix up with the menu, or if it was cross contamination but I got sicker than I normally do with just cross contamination.

I had a very enjoyable experience here! A non gluten free friend & I had dinner here and split the Eggplant Involtini, the Golden Beet Salad (server said she would make sure the vinaigrette was the white balsamic to accommodate the GF request) and the Sherry Chicken Pappaedelle with the GF linguine! It was all delicious!

There were not very many gf options here. The atmosphere was good, but the food was certainly not impressive.

While the food is delicious and there are quite a few "gluten free" options, they are not careful to make sure food is gluten free. My first plate was brought out with gluten pasta and fortunately I double checked before I took a bite! Then, when I was about halfway through the replacement plate I found a couple gluten pastas in my meal! The manager is very friendly and was apologetic but it doesn't excuse the carelessness that caused me to be sick for days after.

Variety of gluten free options on the menu. I had gluten free shrimp linguine that was very good and well portioned (I could actually finish the meal). They can make most of their pasta dishes gluten free for an extra charge using linguine noodles. There were gluten free apps, a salad and a few non-pasta entrees too. Fun atmosphere. Would recommend for sure!
