Review of Baia The Italian

We went to this restaurant with my wife who was a celiac. She ordered two salads labelled gf. I asked them to put the dressing on the side and inform us of the ingredients in the dressing. They came out and said the octopus salad is marinated in soy sauce and has gluten so they can’t put it aside. I stated that if it has gluten it should not be marked gluten free on a menu and why are they only telling us it had gluten when we ask for all the ingredients. We then ask if they can guarantee the other beetroot salad is gluten free and they say they cannot. By this point our kids had ordered so they ate their food. My wife did not eat the food, we left the establishment and would not suggest anyone with celiac disease go to this restaurant.
