They do NOT accommodate celiacs or true gluten free. They said all the noodles are cooked in the same water and wouldn’t cook them in a separate pot. Also the services is terrible. The guy server is incredibly rude and we waited on drinks for 30 mins. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR CELIACS

Food was absolutely fantastic! Gluten-free pasta is among the best I’ve ever tried, and sauces were also safe. Food was amazing and service was great! My only reason for not commenting on the safety of the preparation is that I did not pay attention to it.

We were recently in the area for a trip and based on other reviews decided to give it a try. Pluses - they cook the GF pasta (penne only) in it's own pot and water so ultra safe. The sauces are tasty and the portions were good. The chocolate mousse is the only GF dessert they have but it's very good. The restaurant is decorated well. Minuses - the only GF pasta is penne. while almost everything can be done GF nothing is marked on the menu. Also they don't tell you that it's a $3 charge for the pasta which is bad enough what's worse is they can't cook the past correctly it came out like mush. This is why I have a hard time eating Italian out for some reason no one can cook GF pasta right and at $30 a plate you should be able to get it right. It took me awhile to cook GF pasta at home but these are "professional" chef's. I'm Italian and ate this everyday growing up and when I couldn't anymore because of celiac it was rough but there are a lot of different pastas out now and some cook up better than others it just seems that restaurants all use the crappiest one they can find and charge you way too much for the end result. So I'm going to be more critical than others. Hence three star.

The owner is very nice. The place is nicely decorated. The owner was very accomodating for gluten free and also inquired if I had additional food restrictions. I ordered the gluten free fettuccine primavera with chicken. It came with Penne pasta. It was very good. No reactions after 24 hours. Most items can be made gluten free sub GF pasta. We asked to owner how Business has been since COVID. She stated it was slow.

Food is great! The service is impeccable. Servers know their GF. They were able to accommodate me with celiac and a family member with sodium restriction. We went back again after 2 days.

This place lived up to its expectations! I have a dairy allergy too and got pasta with spicy sauce, sausage, onions and GF pasta. It was SO good! They were very knowledgeable as well. Would’ve loved to try the desserts if I could have dairy! My boyfriend does not have any allergies and said his dish was “amazing.” Great spot!

We had their spinach and egg soup gluten free, and three different pasta dishes with gluten free penne pasta. Every sauce is gluten free. To my surprise, as a desert they offer an amazing chocolate mousse and also zabaglione or zabaione. Both deserts were delicious. Great experience overall!

Best GF pasta I have ever had. And I'm a connosuoier. Family owned restaurant and the chef did everything himself right there. Came out and assured me it would be amazing. And everything was. Will come again.

Great, large . We definitely took plenty home.

Food was absolutely delicious! I had the special which was a seafood Pescatore with a white wine and garlic sauce.They can substitute gf penne pasta in most of the dishes.So good! Nicest waiter and all the staff was friendly and assured me they could handle gluten free for a celiac. Our waiter brought us the chocolate mousse to share as a little added bonus.

This is a lovely little family Italian restaurant. Very sweet people. They are completely willing to make any of their pasta dishes into a gluten-free version using gluten-free penne pasta. The wife of the owner told me that her husband is working on developing a gluten-free bread & they wish they had more gluten free customers so that there was more of a need for more gluten-free items.

Incredible. The people are amazing and they offered delicious food! My partner had “normal” spaghetti and I had gluten free penne. They went out of their way to ensure I felt safe and was taken care of. They even had a conversation with me about my concerns to put me at ease. You will love it here.

I cannot believe this was not on find me gluten free!! Home grown, homemade Italian. EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM SCRATCH! The gf pasta was probably the best pasta I have ever had in my 15 years being a celiac. The owners were so sweet and knowledgeable. Only gf items salad and pastas. All the sauces including Alfredo were also gf! We ordered the Tuscan and Sausage and peppers pasta! They were both phenomenal!! As a celiac looking for good Italian this is the place for a great plate of homemade gf pasta!
