Overall good experience. Waiter seemed a bit “no big deal” which can cause some hesitation on trust. But overall was good. Menu options are great. Waiter shared pizza crusts are packaged ones and only noodle option is spaghetti but still good to have choices on main dish aspects. Overall, we’d pick different places first but an option.

My wife and i just finished our first visit and both were very pleased with the menu options and everything we tried. The price is a bit higher but for safe food with great options that is to be expected and is well worth it for me.

The bad reviews are very unfortunate, as we had such a great experience here! There are many items marked GF on the normal menu. Our server was very knowledgeable and offered GF bread with a new plate of dipping sauce when she found out I was GF. I specifically asked if they have separate water for cooking, and she said yes. I had dessert also and did not have any reaction. Our server also noted she has a “regular” who is very sensitive and eats there often.

Do not eat here if you have Celiacs. I ordered gluten free chicken Alfredo. Two bites in I knew it wasn't gluten free. Luckily, as soon as it hit my stomach it came back up quick!!! Let the waitress know it was not gluten free, she gave me a deer in a headlights look and walked off. Never checked back at our table the entire visit. Worst experience I've had. Husband had regular lasagna, overly salted. When I ordered I made sure she knew I had celiac and needed gf. When she sat the food down, I asked to make sure it was gluten free, she assured me it was.... biggest mistake of the trip to Mayo. First day there and sick the first 2, not good.

I ordered the lasagna and as soon as I let the restaurant I began have a really bad reaction. It stated it was gluten free on the menu....it was not! Or at least not celiac friendly at all!!!!

Absolutely delicious gluten free Italian restaurant. They take great precautions to ensure safely preparing your mea. I had the mechi’s pasta dish with chicken veal garlic mushrooms and green peas mixed in a marinara and cream sauce. Absolutely phenomenal meal 😋 I have severe sensitivity and had no issues at all. 50 items on the menu are gluten free They even have a delicious gluten free Belgian chocolate cake

I was glutened twice in the last month while visiting Mayo. I ordered children’s gluten free spaghetti both times. I asked several times -IS THAT GLUTEN FREE. I was sick for days afterward both times. They had been my favorite place to eat-no more

It was NOT gluten free

Outstanding! Service and food. I'll be back.

We are in town for Mayo Clinic and I have celiac. After a long day of doctors visits and tests we didn’t feel like going out to dinner. So I looked on find me gluten free app and found this wonderful restaurant. I ordered some crab cakes and my husband picked them up. He brought them back they were huge three crab cakes the size of hamburgers! Included was a piping hot roll! Gluten-free! It all tasted so good it made my terrible day dissolve into joy! I wish I lived around here this food was awesome.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was fabulous!!! We sat outside on the patios with our pups. They immediately brought us delicious GF bread! It was seriously the best we’ve ever had. We ordered two of the pasta dishes, and they were both amazing! We finished off the meal with a slice of GF chocolate cake. We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! They had so many GF options, and everything we had was outstanding.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free menche is so good!

Service was great topped only by the food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food, but not safe for celiacs. Found a piece of penne pasta in my gluten free dish, and they only offer gluten free spaghetti. Got sick. 😔

Celiac friendly?

No

Tons of gf options, wonderful staff and nice atmosphere. Loved that they even had gf rolls for me (for before the meal). Unfortunately though, I got cross contaminated there. They were very knowledgeable and attentive, so I'm not sure what the cause was. The food was awesome though.

The waitress was super sweet and helped me choose a gf/df meatfree dish. The quality of the food was fine, nothing to write home about. The problem came about an hour later when IBS kicked in and I spent the rest of the night in pain. Due to the delayed reaction I’ll blame micro doses of cross contamination, not severe, but unpleasant and unfortunate.

Celiac friendly?

No

Extensive gluten free menu. Lasagna was better than I ever remembered in my gluten eating days.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Huge GF menu! I couldn’t decide. I ended up with a salad and it was amazing. I will be back to try the lasagna or crab cakes!

Nima tested one of their gluten free pasta dishes and it came back as containing gluten. So disappointed because they have such a big gluten free menu but obviously they are not trained enough.

Since my Celiac diagnosis, I have tried various restaurants and Victoria's did not disappoint! I also have food allergies and our server was wonderful, asking questions and relaying information to the kitchen. I travel frequently for work and would highly recommend Victoria's!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

In the past, we have enjoyed our meals and serving staff. This server seemed bored. She didn’t order what I requested. She didn’t come back to see how our food was. I had to flag her down for Parmesan. The food was not the quality I remember from previous experiences. Not sure we will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrific Italian lunch & dinner(for all diets & diners)-many menu items & specials are/can be ordered GF, though you can’t believe it is when tasting. Kitchen and staff are food-allergy educated. Can go for a casual meal, a social, family or business gathering, or fun/special occasion. (They even have good GF rolls, pizza, & pasta). A full bar can dine in. Large wine list. Happy hour. Near Mayo-a great area for Express orders & To Go. Delicious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good GF options and staff very knowledgeable.

Great place, lots of GF options and GF bread!

8.18.17 I had the GF bread, crab cakes and pizza. All of it was very good. I am a celiac visiting Rochester and would recommend Victoria's as a place you have to go to if needing a GF meal. Excellent knowledgeable staff. The left overs smell great in the fridge!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate at Victoria's a couple weeks ago for the first time in about a year. If you order pasta and it doesn't look like a spaghetti noodle don't eat it!!!! My food came and it was a flat type noodle (like linguine) so I questioned the waiter who said that my food was 100% gf. It most definitely wasn't. Needless to say I spent the night in miserable pain. It's been weeks and my body still feel out of whack.

I am a frequent visitor of Victoria's and love it. From the fluffy GF roll to the excellent pasta it's a 5-star meal. So blessed to have this restaurant as one of my go-tos!

Food is spectacular!! Atmosphere is grand!! To me it was heaven because I had so many choices and I even got gf roll, yay!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have been here twice to give it a try, both times we both got sick from cross contamination. I am always worried when ordering gluten free and the ask if you would like bread.

Would rate 10+ stars if I could!! Best & biggest GF menu I've ever seen. Waiter offered a GF bun before I asked & was very knowledgeable. The crab cakes were amazing as was the GF cheese ravioli.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

GF pasta (one option for base pasta, multiple sauce options), GF pizza, GF bread served hot, knowledgeable wait staff and even GF cheesecake for dessert. So many other GF options on menu marked as such, I just didn't try them. No reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

love the fettuccine alfredo!

Work catered it so I didn't get to see the full menu, but gluten free pizza crust was the best I've had since being diagnosed!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Exceptional choices and everything we ordered was delicious. It's difficult to find places to eat that have so many GF choices. We will be back!!
