Trattoria Lisina

Items on menu are marked with GS for gluten sensitive. We told the server we needed gluten free for our daughter who has celiac disease. Server said he would mark it on our order. Next other server brought us bread with gluten in it. We told her we did not want it because we needed GF. She offered to bring us GF bread and we accepted. Said it would take longer because they heat it separately. Time went by and our server said they delivered the GF bread to another table that didn't order it. So we waited for another order and it was delicious. It is actually GF pizza crust with Italian seasoning on it. We got the caprese appetizer which was very good and gluten free. My daughter got the GF margherita pizza which was safe but not very tasty as the sauce was thin and watery. Although the staff was not well trained in gluten free safety in the end they got it right our daughter did not get sick.

I had a great experience here. Servers were very knowledgeable and the assistant manager came by to tell me the GF pasta was cooked in separate water. They also have GF dessert - cake.

Their menu has improved since I first went there. They now have things marked “GS” for gluten sensitive. They told me they cannot verify there will not be cross contamination. For those with sensitivity, there are many options! The food was decent. The waiter answered my questions well. I have gotten the gluten free pasta (undercooked) and the chicken which was amazing.

My server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Yes the options are limited, and the pasta is CC’d, but she was able to help me order the caprese salad to star, a main of pork chop with polenta and mixed veggies instead of Brussels sprouts (shared fryer). She marked our ticket with Gluten Allergy and spoke with the chef. Dessert was sorbet with no cookie. I didn’t get sick and it was a lovely experience.

was assured the dinner entrees were all gluten free: server explained fryer was shared for calamari prep. seemed knowledgeable. ordered the lemon chicken w/ vegetables and had symptoms before I left the restaurant. unfortunate because this is a beautiful location and menu looked delicious.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is not celiac friendly. I live in the area and was going for a nice dinner for our anniversary that was celiac friendly. Very limited selection. Within 20 minutes of leaving I was sick. Not the way you want to spend your 16th anniversary. 😩

They had gluten free options. I did not get sick but the options were limited. The server was pretty knowledgable but I asked her to confirm everything with the chef.
