They have changed their menu. Only a few pasta dishes and steak or salmon. I ordered a pasta dish but the waiter realized it was not gf noodles. They made the dish again but it wasn’t anything great. I didn’t get sick but it will be awhile before I go back.

There are many gluten free options on the menu, but they do call out they cannot ensure GF cooking practices. My dish came out littered with bread crumbs. Upon getting it a second time, the pasta (which is just boxed from the store) was extremely over cooked and the sauce has no flavor.

So happy I found this place on this app. Today was my fiance's birthday and he wanted Italian. I'm always upset about going to Italian places because of the bread, etc. but this place was incredible. Our server was friendly and accommodating, they do not serve bread (which may sound selfish but I was stoked), and the flavors were fantastic! I had the BRAVO! Chopped Salad, the Pasta Pomodoro with Chicken, and we split a bottle of Reisling. For the first time in a long time my stomach is bigger than normal from being full instead of being glutened. They also offered him a choice of three complimentary desserts for his birthday. Even though it's 30 miles from our house we will definitely be back!

Gluten Free Menu with many options. I had the pasta with chicken, spinach, tomatoes (w/o mushrooms) with a garlic sauce. Sooo good! Compared to other places so far, one of the best gf menu with options yet.

The menu was clearly marked with what can be made gluten free- but the waitress said they are getting updated menus soon as they have more available. They were very accommodating.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. DON'T TRUST THEM. NO GLUTEN FREE PASTA!

We went specifically because our daughter (celiac) wanted pasta. The server, and then the manager, confirmed that they cook the gluten-free pasta in the same water as the traditional pasta! Crazy but true. The manager then rudely and defiantly fed us some b.s. that the water temp keeps the pasta gluten free and they did not have room for a pot of dedicated water. Smaller restaurants are capable of doing it, why not them? "Gluten transfers to gluten-free pasta when cooked in shared pasta cooking water." - ScienceDirect

I ate there last evening. They did not have a gf menu, but a few items were marked that they could prepare gf. I chose the shrimp scampi. It was prepared with gf rotini, the only gf pasta they had. It was delicious. The dish came out with 2 pieces of non-gf garlic crostini. If you're concerned about cross contamination, I'd avoid this place. The only dessert they had that could be prepared gf was vanilla Gelato!

AWFUL! I got the chopped salad which I was told would be gluten free. Not only did I find a bug in my food but had an awful stomach ache after. the staff and chef were rude as well. Quality has gone down tremendously lately.

If I could give it a 0, I would, but I can't, so I give it a 1. They forgot to even give me my food after over an hour of waiting as the rest of my table ate :( the pasta is bland and worse than some of the box pastas I buy from the store. Could not accommodate for an egg allergy and made us pay $8 for lettuce and Parmesan cheese.
