Review of Acova

This was one of, if not the first, restaurants I ate at after my diagnosis. The owners wife has celiac and so they are passionate about celiac safety. Our server informed us that at Acova it is the gluten items that are contained to one area of the kitchen with the rest of the kitchen being gf, rather than the other way around which it how it would usually be. I got the lobster mac and cheese and while by now I have had a lot more experience with various gf pastas and I can say that the pasta itself wasn’t the best… the flavor was banging. To baby celiac me, it was one of the first times I felt excited to eat something in months and I thank the staff so much for making me feel safe enough to enjoy it.
