Server clearly did not understand GF, snickered when I asked her to bring the to go box to the table vs her taking it with all the other plates to box. When I had put in box, she replied, “ can I touch your dish now?” My chicken dish with artichoke, gf penne & peppers was good but lacked flavor and I did not have any issues after eating it so clearly it was prepared gf. I would go back but request another server!

GF at al Fresca has come a long way since some of these comments! The GF penne is SO good! And they can do most the chicken dishes GF so there are a lot of options. I’m DF too and they can do the Marsala sauce DF. Al Fresca is one of my favorite restaurant so I’m so glad I can still eat here!

I’m not celiac so I didn’t ask about cross contamination, but I know they make the pasta in a separate pot, so it’s possible they can accommodate cross contamination as well! Staff and management are super friendly, just ask!

Delicious GF pasta! We had chicken piccata and chicken ziti broccoli, both excellent. Staff works very hard to make their pasta celiac safe.

They offer you risotto and that is it. The salad was a joke and the prices ridiculous.
