My daughter and I both have celiac. The food was just ok. Nothing special. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable, but went to the kitchen to ask. The regular pizzas and the GF pizzas are done on the same surfaces and in the same oven. When I asked about the pasta being cooked in a different, clean pot of water and a clean strainer, she went to ask the kitchen who said they don’t normally, but would for us. I wouldn’t go back.

Delicious! Gluten free options on almost everything. I had the mushroom ravioli, they just put all the ravioli filling, and sauces on top of gluten free penne. Yum!!

Everyone loved it! It was my first time using the app and we had 3 gluten sensitivities and 2 vegans in our 10 person group. The gluten free pizza was amazing and the vegan gluten-free pizza was the best pizza theyear ever had (someone who’s been vegan and gluten free for a decade)! I also thought their regular Italy dishes were amazing: the ravioli carbonara was excellent. Everyone was happy and can’t wait to go back next time we are in the area.

Ordered the GF penne alla vodka with chicken. I mentioned i was celiac and asked if the pasta and sauce are cooked separately from the regular pasta. The server immediately answered yes. The pasta was average tasting and I got sick when I left. Would not recommend to anyone

The staff was very understanding of Celiac and the need to be gluten free. Had the chopped salad which was delicious and the fru fru gluten free pizza. One of the best gf pizzas I ever had. The others in my party enjoyed their non gluten free food as well. Cute little place and a parking garage right next door. Highly recommend.

I went and specifically asked if the gluten free pasta was made in fresh water and waitress reassured me that it was. My penne vodka came out missing the grilled chicken I had ordered and after a few bites I found a piece of spaghetti in my dish. The menu only states that they have gluten free penne so I assumed it wasn’t gluten free and stopped eating. I got sick as soon as I got home. Very disappointed because the pizzas have always been safe for me and I thought they’d take the same precautions for the pasta as well.

Unfortunately my gluten free pizza was positive for gluten on my Nima sensor after explaining Celiac disease and to take care of cross contamination. I did not attempt a retry.

GF pizza was cooked on a separate tin tray, which is good from a contamination perspective but the crust seemed a little undercooked. Couldn't pick up a slice because it was so soft. Toppings tasted great, and it was okay, but I like my pizza to have a.firm crust.

I love this restaurant! I’ve been coming here for 3 years now, it was one of the first restaurants I went to as a newly diagnosed celiac just discovering gluten free food. Every time I come here and have the pasta, pizza, chicken, etc, I’m always suspicious that it’s so good (bc surely gluten free things can’t be as amazing as this!??!?) but they have never done me wrong. The waiters are super accommodating, knowledgeable, and provide gluten free menus. One time they gave me cannoli cream in a shot glass because I mentioned I miss eating cannolis. I’ve never had any issues with getting a gluten reaction, whether I ask a million questions to clarify or just order takeout with a simple “switch out the pasta for gluten free” note. Great food and my favorite menu item is the chicken parm with gluten free pasta and grilled chicken subbed.

All of their pizzas and pastas can be made with gluten-free version’s for about two dollars more. They also marked clearly on the menu which items can be made gluten-free, for example most of the salads, and you can even get the minestrone soup without the noodles. They say that everything is prepared separately. The only downside I will say is that the gluten-free crust didn’t taste that great. But they seemed very accommodating.

The first time I went here it was excellent, I sat upstairs with wonderful service and my waiter was very attentive to my allergy. The second time I went I sat downstairs and my waitress was very rude about my allergy and mildly insulted me by questioning how much I was ordering. After leaving the restaurant as soon as I got home, I immediately vomited. My celiac disease is never that immediate of a response. My advice is make sure your waiter/waitress is knowledgable about your allergy and that they take you seriously....

Either way, I am never going back there again.

Overpriced flat bread pizza covered in to many spices and salt.

Decent premade gluten free pizza. Definitely not homemade but a good substitute. Hubby enjoyed the veal but said the sauce was lackluster. Asked them to add spinach or lettuce to the caprese salad. They refused. I certainly would have paid for some veggies but, apparently, that's not an option. Server was whatever, but the host was friendly.

Pizza sauce is really good. Pizza was above average, but I've had some amazing gf crust/dough in the past to compare it to. The pasta dish and soup were good. Service was great. The restaurant ambience and decor is nice. Overall decent gf food, but then I was pretty gassy afterward. I'm assuming some CC &/or due to the dairy since I'm mainly plant-based. If you're not sensitive or celiac, it's a decent option. There are better gf restaurants in the neighborhood, but we were limited because three of our top restaurant choices were actually closed for the holiday. Proceed with Caution and if you're visiting for a holiday, call the restaurants ahead of time as some don't announce/post holiday closing unless you count a handwritten door sign.

Pizza was amazing. Also had muscles in tomato sauce which were awesome. Would have given them five stars if the waitress hadn't brought a pitcher of beer when we asked for cider and I didn't realize until I took a sip. The manager apologized and brought us cider and took it off our bill but the waitress did not seem to realize the gravity of her mistake despite my telling her upfront I was celiac and anything with gluten would make me sick.
