We were sat at the bar by the pizza making station. Watched a gf pizza being prepared with little regard to cross contamination. Thankfully I had not ordered pizza.

Amazing gluten free pizza! They took precautions for cross contamination and baked the gluten free crust in the wood fire oven in a separate pan. The crust was really delicious!

Went here twice. First time got a steak and the potatoes (which were amazing). Second time got pizzas which were only okay. They do cook on a clean pan and seem to be careful about cross contamination. Sangria was great. Have GF desserts. Server was knowledgeable both times.

We ate here, the server was very knowledgeable and walked me through my options. I had a salad which was really good. No reaction. Peachy!

I absolutely loved it! Although I couldn’t have the spaghetti and meatballs (crumbs in the meatballs) or the Mac and Cheese (flour in the sauce) I ended up getting the pesto pasta with chicken and it was to die for! To steer clear I wouldn’t recommend the pizza as it is cooked in the same wood oven.

Waitress was super knowledgeable and chefs were great!

I am celiac. I had the pasta after the recommandation of the staff to avoid cross contamination. Unfortunately, i was stick…

The waitress was helpful and checked with the cook what options were celiac friendly. Unfortunately, the cook said that only the gluten-free pasta was guaranteed not to have cross contamination. That was a big disappointment, given that the menu shows many gluten-free options (including the pizzas). They charge extra for the gluten-free pasta and I didn't find it tasty. Not worth the money. I wouldn't go back there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I didnt get sick so its goid. I got the calamari. Aioli was too spicy so i only just tried it once. excellent food though.

Wait staff was really helpful, guided us through the menu. We were in a large group (30 ppl) and had no worries about things being mixed up in the group. Food was pricey for what it was, though Whistler isn't cheap.

The staff was helpful, but the food taste was so-so. The GF pasta also had an up charge, as usual. The GF pasta was overcooked, sticky and drowning in olive oil. There were not many GF options. Overall, Italian is always TOUGH for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful calamari and gazpacho. Totally recommend it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most things in the menu have a gluten free option. Staff was sensitive to gluten issues and took it all in stride.

Staff was knowledgeable.. Waitress explained which items were high risk for cross contamination- very much appreciate this however ends up being a limited menu. I got a salad with prawns. Didn't get sick

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved this place!! Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Felt very comfortable eating here

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have very severe reactions to gluten. When we got into the restaurant we asked our waiter what would be safe for me she said to stay away from the gluten free pizza, but the gluten free pasta was OK. I ended up having a straight gluten free pasta with red sauce. It was a great experience and I did not get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food and pasta! Pasta is from Italy. They use separate pots and strainers. They said the gf pizza is not celiac safe bc it’s made in the same wood oven as gluten pizza. We went twice! Highly recommend.

this place was amazing !! ordered the GF pizza, was delicious. also ordered a salad !! 10/10 recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the staff was fantastic, a majority of the food was gluten-free and uncontaminated. i recommend the patatas gratas, and the chocolate mousse. 10/10 would eat again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the safest I felt out of all my dining experiences in Whistler. Waitress knew every ingredient. She asked if I was celiac and said to only avoid the GF pizzas as they are prepared with the non GF pizzas. She also pointed out some meals on the menu that were not labeled GF but could easily be made GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Many of the menu options can be made gluten free, including all of the pasta and the pizza. Had the patatas bravas to start. So good! Then the prosciutto pizza. Delicious thin crust pizza, so well done. Finished with chocolate mousse (not listed as gf on the menu but our server checked with the chef). Great place. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Flavorful pasta prepared in separate water. Waitress was familiar with Celiac needs and clear about what was safe and what was not. She checked with kitchen staff with any questions. The GF pasta is a penne, which we had with a delicious sausage and tomato sauce. We also ordered a steak which was well over-priced but prepared safely. One or two dessert options were available as well in addition to some sides/starters. The papas bravas were amazing - home fries with marinara and a cream sauce and seemed safe as there wasn't anything battered in the fryer that I could see.

Menu was newly printed with GF items labelled clearly. Unfortunately they listed their bread basket as GF, but it clearly wasn't. First run typo I guess.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server was well informed - when I told her I had Celiac, she told me the GF pizza was probably not safe, with all the flour in that area. I had the GF pesto pasta with shrimp, and she confirmed that they cook it in separate water. It held up better than most GF pasta. Everyone in our party had the "two for $32 deal" (two for $22 if it's not the weekend), and we all had tons of food. I also had their Caramba chopped salad, and she knew which dressings were safe. I appreciated that they had GF vodka, so I could have a drink. That was a bit hard to find in Vancouver. My husband loved their Whistler Coastal Mountain Ale.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server was well informed and knew that the gluten free pizza crusts were not safe for celiacs. He said the gluten free pasta would work and I chose their chop salad+shrimp which was delicious and gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful pasta!!! Rather expensive for how much you, but everything in Whistler is! I doesn't have a gluten free menu, it has the option to make things GF.I love the outdoor seating!

I had one of their gluten-free pizzas and it was delicious. A nice thin crust, not too heavy on the stomach. The flavour of the toppings were not overpowered by the sauce. Yum yum!!

great food gf pasta and pizza
