October 19, 2015The online menu does not match the actual menu at the restaurant, so the limited GF options are even more limited once you get there. I had to repeat 3 times the word "gluten" to the hostess when asking for a GF menu (should have ran away right there).The waitress we had seemed very annoyed about our dietary restrictions and brought us a huge loaf of glutinous bread even though I explained that all of our party had gluten allergies. When I asked if the bread was GF, she had no idea what to say. Does she not know about gluten containing foods? Did she not care? Regardless- I wouldn't go to this place if I was you. Restaurants that advertise "GF" friendliness and don't bother to train their staff are worse, IMHO, than those who don't even bother to try to deal with the Celiac world. Just hoping that we don't get sick.

August 15, 2013Downey has so few places that are gluten free friendly. And this is not my favorite place to eat. Mainly because their menu is so small. But my meal was pretty delish. :)

The chicken caesar salad was great! I was at a restaurant that was supposed to have a gluten-free menu but did not. While my party enjoyed their food, I ordered and went to pick up the aforementioned salad. A lovely smelling loaf of bread (not GF) came with the order which justified the price. Quality taste

Ate off the gluten free menu. Potato Soup, gluten free pasta, marinara, and Italian sausage (which I was assured was gluten free). Became very ill shortly after eating. I am sure something contained gluten or came in contact with gluten. Be careful eating!

Zero stars for this place. Poorly staffed. Coffee machine broken for days but no effort to fix it. GlutenFree salad came out of the kitchen with croutons. Wait staff was sure "all our bread is gluten free" which of course was completely inaccurate. In fact they have no gluten free bread. Stay away.

I went to Carino's with a co-worker and ordered the GF pizza. If you are looking for pizza flavored cardboard, then this is the place for you! I will not be returning.

Excellent Chicken Marsala. Got the lunch portion with GF pasta, had to double check the pasta was GF because of the texture. Best we've had in a long time!

It was good food, definitely chain restaurant food, but very good in a gf comfort food sort of way. They had a very good selection of gf menu items. I will return! The staff did an awesome job.

No gluten free menus were available. The waitress said that most anything can be made gluten free except that the gluten free pasta tasted bad and they couldn't guarantee that they could prepare it without cross contamination.

I loved going here! they had so many fun drinks (I had a cream soda, which was refillable once). I had a pasta skillet, which wasn't my favorite, but there are still a lot of pastas and pizzas to try... and then I had an amazing chocolate molten cake with ice cream for dessert! it was so nice to have so many courses available (and tasty!)

I'm super thankful for their huge GF selection (and my pasta tasted so good that I actually thought I was going to be glutened until I ended up having no bad reactions!). The bar couldn't make the first few drinks I tried to order (they even said margaritas can't be gluten free...definitely not true) so DEFINITELY ASK before you assume your drink is safe! They must use mixes or swap with cheaper liquor?

Horrible! Yes they have a gluten free menu, but it didn't taste very good at all! My husband got a non gluten dish and his was very under-cooked.

I have been here several times and had no problems with the food. Menu is a little limited. Food is entered as an allergy item and prepared separate, but still need to stress the importance of the allergy to staff. Placed a to go order with the manager, and received bread with my meal. When we spoke with the manager, he was irritated and and not apologetic at all. Don't think we will be returning

sadly this place no longer has a gluten free menu. it used to have pretty extensive one. They have gluten free noodles and can make gluten free Alfredo and red sauce according to the staff members. as of right now I'm still waiting to make sure I don't have a reaction.

Do not go here. The website says that they have gluten free options, but they no longer have a gluten free menu. Our waiter wasn't knowledgeable about gluten free things and all he kept saying was they used to have gluten free things. They said they could do a plain chicken breast for my son. They also claim to have a gluten free chocolate cake. That is all he ate at dinner and is now suffering. He had a terrible reaction which kept him up all night. Plus he is feeling awful today. Do not go if you have any issues with gluten, no matter how big or small. They are not trained at this restaurant and they don't care.

I ordered the potato soup, which I found out after my husband received his meal is no longer offered gluten free. All the chicken dishes require the kitchen to not add flour to be gf and I did not trust that they would actually help me be safe, so I did not eat.

I am highly sensitive, and have not gotten sick the two times I have eaten here. The staff was great at understanding what needed to be done to make my meal safe. The food was very good. This has become our "go to" place whenever we are in Idaho.

Worse dinning out experience ever! Had to wait for the pot to boil before the cook used the same tongs on my gf pasta as he did on my husband's gluten pasta. After an hour and fifteen minutes we left with his food in a bag and nothing for me.

The pasta is definitely celiac friendly! However, food takes a long time to come and it is very expensive.

They do have gluten free pasta. But the whole experience about cross contamination is hot and miss depending on your server. The flavor and consistency of the pasta has also been hit and miss. There are other places nearby that we would rather go.

incredibly sensitive to celiac issues, treated every gluten free request as though it was celiac related because they stated they did not expect me to divulge my medical diagnosis in order to have a safe meal. very happy. will return. excellent variety of safe options

Lack of server training and communication with kitchen manager and servers caused them to give me meatballs on gf pasta. Two servers assured me the kitchen manager said the meatballs were gf. After I had a bite, my Aunt questioned how they keep them together without bread crumbs. There are gf bread crumbs, but I decided to double check. The server insisted the kitchen manager said they are gf. I asked him to find out how they were made. The manager came over apologized like crazy for the staff error. While the Penne was gf the meatballs were not! Needles to say I am having a Gluten attack! So mad! And I have to travel tomorrow! Not hard to get it right! TRAINING and Gf menu would help!

I went yesterday and asked about their gluten-free menu. The server told me they no longer have one, as they are making modifications. She also told me they no longer have gluten-free pizza crust. The only thing she knew was that they offer gluten-free penne.

The waitress was so considerate and careful not to cross contaminate my meal. This restaurant has so many gluten free options including gluten free pasta that was cooked to perfection as well as bread sticks, which was cleverly an Udi's pizza crust cut up and baked. I was very impressed and look forward to a return trip in the future!

I'm giving Carinos three stars because they are trying. but if you are celiac, beware. the gluten free pasta is not cooked and drained in dedicated gluten free pans. cross contamination is a deal killer. they do have a gluten free menu, so there are other choices. ordered Italian chili. it was good, filling, and came with free refills.

1st time visiting. I ordered GF soup and salad; child ordered GF penne with white sauce and chicken. Soup is clearly not made from scratch OR/AND from a can mixed with frozen veggies but manager says it is. Pasta was not a good dish at all. We ordered to house salads to go and left extremely unfulfilled and disappointed. Not sure if GF precautions taken in kitchen. I git a headache as soon as I ate some of the pasta.

I'm not sure if it's cross contamination or a chef unaware of how sick someone with Celiacs can get from food improperly prepared. I was extremely sick for two days following our visit

Gluten-free spaghetti sauce is way too oily. Noodles were extremely grainy and tasted like eating uncooked wheat. Gluten-free desert also very grainy and they add way too much sweetness to try and cover up the texture.

This has been our best dining out gf experiences since being diagnosed. The restaurant has a dedicated menu, knowledgeable staff and many tasty options. We asked for the gf menu and waiter brought us GF bread sticks along with regular bread for rest of the table. It was nice to treated like a normal guest, even though she is limited.

Staff was AWESOME!!! Very knowledgeable. The manager took special care with my husband's meal as he as both a dairy and gluten allergy. He had the build your own pasta with chicken and gf penne with spicy marinara sauce. No reactions what so ever! We came from Nebraska and were a little nervous about traveling and allergies. Our first meal here in Waco and couldn't be more pleased.
