Review of Bella Panini

Update: ate here under the new ownership on 12/7/23. They’re out of GF pizza crusts because of supplier issues. I had the pasta with white wine clam sauce. Was good. The new owner bought all the previous owners recipes. All my gluten eating friends said it seemed the same as before, very good. The owner talked to us and said they pride theirselves on GF and when they do make the pizzas they put them on separate pans (same oven) and use separate utensils too. I did not get sick tonight. Was a little nervous after the lost recent review. Our server wasn’t super attentive but did go back to ask questions about GF when we asked.

Excellent pizza! 9” pizzas can all be made with the Gf crust which was quite good. There were also four pasta dishes that could be made gluten free. They use separate utensils and pans for gf items. Wine options and one cider choice for alcoholic gf beverages. There were several salads I assume are gf without croutons. Nice outdoor dining space
