Almost everything on the menu is or can be gluten free. They make their own gluten free bread and pasta. The desert menu is not as friendly but they do have gelato and sorbet. Food is delicious and it’s great for a family with members who eat gluten as well.

Review


I was diagnosed with celiac disease 15 years ago. I’ve tried it all - the good and the bad. And this is one of the absolute best. I sadly didn’t get the servers name but with one mentioned of celiac disease, he went above and beyond to cater to make me feel comfortable... without even asking! I ordered the seafood pasta and I was almost certain it wasn’t gluten free... just by how incredible it was. All non-gluten eaters at the table were also shocked by how great it was. Upon dropping off each plate that was for me, he assured me it was verbally the GF one, and that he double checked. I had incredible *and 1st time*  fried zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, which was made in a dedicated fryer. insane. I am so sad I don’t live here because this is where I want to spend all my nights dining out.... money is more than worth being spent here. LOVVVVEEEEEE
