Andino's has had the best Italian cuisine forever, and my family have loved going there for special events. Our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac last year, and we were concerned about going to a restaurant known for pasta.....I called this afternoon to confirm that they had GF pasta and they confirmed that they did, and that the kitchen could accommodate the menu for a GF diet. Thirty minutes after ordering tonight, we were informed that they were out of GF pasta. The manager came over apologetically and suggested to my daughter that she order the Gnocchi, which they get from a wonderful local Italian store. He explained that this is what they typically recommend when they are out of GF pasta. I immediately looked it up online to discover that there is flour in the Gnocchi and it is not GF at all. (http://www.vendaravioli.com/shopexd.asp?id=28) I am writing this to warn people they the staff at this restaurant, both servers and management obviously are not educated about Celiac and Gluten-Free issues.
