Review of Adela's Italian Restaurant

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.
