Amazing experience. Lots of options. GF pizza crust is made in house and is better than any I’ve had. GF pasta is also very good. Gnocchi if gf but I didn’t try it. No adverse reaction. Definitely recommend. Owner is amazing.

Fantastic hidden find! Everything can be made GF except for the bruschetta. Pizza, pastas, salads, gnocchi, and more. Everything was delicious and tasted like it was made in Italy! Owner is from Sicily originally and was a terrific host, very passionate about the food.

Great experience and food! We had a delicious salad and GF pasta. They also have GF pizza. The owner and staff were so nice and worked hard to provide a great experience. It is a small place so may want to make a reservation if you can.

Absolutely wonderful! The owner is so sweet and takes celiac disease VERY seriously! I had the pistachio gnocchi and i highly recommend trying that! We also split a gluten free pizza for the table that was delicious! They prepare everything separate and no issues afterwards! I would go back 100 more times!

Wonderful pizza! Owner is very knowledgeable and understanding. We got there right at opening (5pm) and our GF pizzas were the first in the oven, for added safety. I heard the GF pasta was great to from another patron. Would eat here again.

We had a very nice pizza which was sort of a mix of American and Italian Pizza. The food was really good and the service was excellent.

This was a great find. We had fantastic gluten free pasta and pizza. The owner confirmed they had separate cooking areas and were careful. I felt very safe. Almost everyone in the restaurant was ordering gluten free.

Review
I cannot recommend this place highly enough and came back several times during my week in tamarindo. This little garden patio tucked into a quiet corner in the heart of town is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day and enjoy some incredible food. I have zero concerns about gluten safety at this restaurant. Beyond that, I have a number of other dietary restriction and Guiseppe and his staff were able to make DELICOUS food that was gluten-, seafood-, dairy-, and egg-free--quite an impressive feat! I would also recommend this restaurant to anyone with severe food allergies, as I was very confident in their ability to prepare food free of any cross contamination. The service also deserves a special mention--Guiseppe will make sure your experience is special and makes some kick-ass recommendations!

Excellent food. Owner is from Sicily and familiar with celiac. My sons with both have celiac. We tried the gluten free cheese pizza and gluten free carbonara pasta. My son said that is the best pasta he has ever had in his life!

Owned by an Italian man who knows his stuff when it comes to GF and cross-contamination. We ended up eating here two nights in a row not only because I felt confident in the food but because it was GOOD. The pasta was so good that I was scared it wasn’t GF at first.
