Review of Bella Notte

We specifically went to Bella Notte because of the positive reviews for Gluten Free options, but while they were kind and helpful, our experience was not good. I made reservations and told them that one of our guests is highly allergic to gluten so they would e prepared. After ordering, the server returned to tell us they had run out of GF pasta. The chef was on the way to Whole Foods to buy more (about a mile or less from the restaurant). That was nice. Did she just want her entree to go? (no...we did not). We would all wait for her entree to be prepared. She ordered the antipasto to hold her over. The food arrived after a considerable wait, and it did taste very good. They did tell us her meal was on the house and we could all have desserts, too. However, about the time we were going to order dessert, she realized she was having a reaction...don't know what caused it. The WF pasta, the preparation, or something else in the dish? We are learning that gluten is hidden in all sorts of products, and the kitchen staff has to check everything. Well, it just takes one bad experience, so Bella Notte will not get another chance with us...

Miracle Bakery, on the other hand, is awesome!
