Gluten free pasta was great. You can swap out on most of the pasta dishes. The gluten free pizza was not so good. The dough was hard like a cracker

Wow! As a celiac, I usually have to suffer in silence at Italian restaurants. Watching people eat fresh bread in oil and vinegar, indulge in seasonal ravioli…… ugh. Well, NOT AT THIS PLACE!!!! Their GF bread was so delicious that my gluten-eater husband devoured it. My fave? Kale and Mozzarella stuffed GF Ravioli. With SAGE BUTTER.

Amazing gluten free bread and pasta! I’d recommend the gf ravioli with a butter sage sauce. They are super safe. I’ve eaten here twice and have never gotten sick.

There are only 3 or 4 items on the menu which are not available in gluten free versions. Staff can point them out. The food is excellent and the staff is quick to verify with the kitchen if there is any question. On top of that the food is fantastic!
