Previous review: I ate here twice for lunch in past 6 months with no problems. Had spicy ramano chicken and shrimp with GF pasta and house salad no croutons. Chicken shrimp dish is very flavorful. Took my own GF bread. Update: visited again a year later and got same thing with no problems.

They do have gluten free pasta at this location. I ordered the jalapeno alfredo chicken. I would order alfredo again but not with the jalapeno. It was so spicy it took away from the dish itself. The service was super slow which was surprising coming off of being unopened for months... i would come here again just hope the service will be better next time.

The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about Celiac disease, but I ended up having a pretty nasty reaction.

Typical chain fare, but with gf pasta available. Went on family night, and one dish was more than enough for me and my hungry fella. Did not make me sick.

Hands down one of the best gluten free experiences I've had. The portions were HUGE. Our waitress seemed very knowledgeable about everything. There's a whole menu of just gluten free stuff. Plenty of options. Did I say the portions were huge? I swear my husband's leftovers weighed 40 pounds. Prices weren't bad either. Prices aren't on the menu but our meals were around $18. Highly recommend!!

Very delicious and safe place for those with gluten and wheat allergies! Pretty decent amount and variety of options on a separate gluten free menu! Not many Italian restaurants offer gluten free options where I am from so I was super excited to have some on vacation! I had the gluten free spaghetti with meat sauce and their sausage as a topping! VERY big portions by the way - pictures don't do it justice! No reaction! Would highly recommend!

Nothing gluten free. Staff was inattentive took 10 min to acknowledge us after waiting at the greeting counter. They never heard of gluten free, that person asked another worker they never heard of it then they went asked the manager took 10 min and said they might be able to do a grilled chicken with veggies. I did not feel safe to eat anything.

Very limited gf options, only 2 entrées on menu. Too pricey for a small bowl of pasta with watery sauce. No gf bread. No choice of noodles.
