I wish I could give 0 stars for safety. Stay away if avoiding gluten.
Not only was the “gluten-free pasta” (penne) I ordered cooked in the same water as other pastas, there were spaghetti noodles in my “gluten-free pasta.” I normally can handle cross-contamination and be fine, but I felt awful after this meal.
Also, at $59 for a plate of pasta (a seafood special), I would at least expect it to not be bland. Even my friend who ordered the same dish (with normal fettuccine) added salt to hers.

Review
We were super excited to come to this adorable cafe! Disappointed to find out while ordering that the GF pasta is cooked in the same water as regular pasta. Would’ve liked that disclaimer ahead of time. Delicious GF cheesecake for dessert though!
