Review of Villa Romana Italian Restaurant

There was a line at the door waiting for them to open. The gentleman in front of me raved about this place:)

The server gave me lots of confidence in ordering that they know gluten free.

It ordered the appetizer with polenta and red pepper sauce and the chicken Parmesan. It was great!

My husband had the risotto with 4 different fish and loooooved it! The chicken Parmesan tasted wonderful!! (The side dish of penne and pasta was underwhelming … but I didn’t care because the appetizer, soup , salad my dish and my husband’s dish was sooooo good)

But I HAVE to give 1 star because when I get sick at any restaurant, it doesn’t matter how good it tastes when it messed up my gut … on vacation…..

Unfortunately within 30 minutes my gut was really not happy …. Sooooo I don’t know what happened … but within 1 hour I know that I know I got gluten at this restaurant.
