Buca di Beppo

I have not been here yet. Was given a gift card and started doing some research on who/what the restaurant was since having never eaten there. They have gluten free item on the menu, but you have to request kitchen mods like “please do not dust with flour”. Like this should be a known for gluten free…but instead we have to ask for it 🤷🏼

they advertise a gluten free menu, but they do NOT have a clue what gluten is! I had the worst experience of my life there! In addition, the waiter was condescending! (I am a laid back person, it takes a lot to make me upset at a restaurant)

Very few GF options. Seriously, salads, salmon and one chicken dish. What I ordered was delicious, but I wouldn’t choose this restaurant over other options if you have them.

I was here for a work dinner. There were several gluten free dishes to choose from--the apple salad, mediteranean salad, chicken saltimbacco, and more. There was a salmon dish that was THE BEST salmon, and the best fish dish, I've had on this week-long trip to Seattle, and one of the best I've had ever. I don't know if there's a separate GF menu or if GF items are marked on the menu since the food for our group was pre-selected, but the staff was knowledgeable and did not mind answering my questions. I did not get sick.

I don't have celiac, and I am able to eat out frequently in many local Austin restaurants, but I am still very sensitive to gluten. I got glutened here. They have very limited options for gluten free, and most are not dairy free. I got an antipasti salad, noting to the waitress that I was gluten free, and drank water. I still got hit by gluten despite eating a meal that wasn't cooked. Clearly cross-contamination is a major problem with this kitchen. There are no gluten free pasta options, either, something the waitress and another table in our room were complaining about!

My gluten-free meal was a lemon chicken breast. No gluten-free pasta or bread. Not even a veggie. The lemon was overpowering and the chicken itself was dry. This was an extra sad attempt at a gluten free meal.
