The experience was fine. The only GF note on the menu is for pizza and pasta. The rest you have to ask the server about for ingredients/modifications. I was hoping there was a separate menu based on previous reviews, but there was not. The server was not very knowledgeable about GF - asked me if potatoes were GF. I ended up with a roasted chicken and veggie dish. It was very simple and figured least CC. It ended up tasting fine. Very generous helping. Did not have any issues.

I will say - the pizzas my group got all got rave reviews. So may be worth trying the GF ones, but I wasn’t interested in pizza, so I didn’t ask any CC questions.

Our server was GF and very knowledgeable about the menu. They do have a separate GF menu that you can request, which includes GF pizza, pastas, salads and a few sides/apps (clams, eggplant, potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms and polenta, garlic chips). Our server recommended against the pizza b/c of cross contamination.

However, by the time we were seated (45 minute wait) it was 3pm, and they were only offering their limited Tweener menu, which meant the only other option was salad. So that’s what we got. The Caesar salad was delicious but we would time out visit differently next time.

I called and asked if they had anything gluten free. They guy asked me to repeat like 3 times. Then he told me they didn’t have anything gluten free and then he looked at the menu again and told me just some of the salads were.

GF meals were a fifth of the size and cost more than a regular meal, and I did get sick.

Really delicious food. Great find. We could easily live off the appetizers and extra dishes, but then the entrees are both too delicious and too much value to miss. Good choices for Celiacs/sensitive.

Excellent Gluten free items. I went back two nights in a row... gluten free crust, butternut squash rather than tomato based (I can’t have nightshade veggies)... such an amazing pizza!

Doesn't have a gluten free menu but has a huge selection on the menu. Multiple appetizer that are gluten free, had the artichokes and candied pork belly. Then we had gluten free pasta. They can do pizza as well but you need to call ahead to let the dough rise. Great food great experience!
