Review of Cafe Gio

They have gluten free penne which can be substituted for the regular pasta in most dishes. They also have one menu item called "gluten free penne" which is served with oil, garlic, and broccoli. It is served with a small salad. I had that and felt fine afterwards. I did not try the gluten free pizza. None of their desserts are gluten free, but they do serve gelato that is pre-packaged in small cartons. The labels, however, say that the gelato is made in a facility that also processes wheat. Therefore, I did not take a chance. The server said that the salad dressing was made in the restaurant and was gluten free. However, when I questioned her about the gelato, she did not know what to look for on the label. I then started to worry about her salad dressing claim, but, again, I had no bad effects from dinner.
