Celiac + allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, sesame, sunflower seeds, and chickpeas and everything went great! Super accommodating
Booked here after seeing the other reviews but wouldn't recommend it.
The restaurant itself is nice and has a cool vibe but the waiter made zero effort to find me alternatives to create a better experience. They brought bread to the table whilst we waited for appetisers but wouldn't give me gluten free bread as they use shared toasters. Fair enough, but when I suggested perhaps they could put my bread under a grill for a minute to toast it instead he simply said no.
They offer gluten free pizza but it's cooked on the same surface as regular pizza so that was a no, they do cook the pasta in separate water so I ordered a pasta dish which was pretty average.
When it came to dessert there were labelled gf options but he said I couldn't have any of them, only a fruit salad. I asked if I could have any of the gelato options and he said no because they use the same scoop as flavours containing gluten, I asked whether they could simply use a fresh scoop for me and he said no.
All in all, I would not recommend. They were aware of celiac and cross contamination but felt kind of obstructive of giving me an inclusive dining experience which just made me uncomfortable.
I'd save your money and go elsewhere.
Many GF options available & server knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food was delicious!

Came here for breakfast. Gf marked on menu, and I had the açai without granola which they were happy to adapt for allergy. We also ate at the 2nd floor restaurant later in the day where they took allergies very seriously and were happy to adapt the menu to suit.
If you have Celiac and/or a gluten allergy you can NOT get the GF pizza here due to cross-contamination. Each of the pastas can be made gluten free; however, the Rigatoni Ragu has flour in the sauce so that is out. Pasta was jovial I think. My favorite was the pesto pasta. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable!! Not sure if I would go back, might get better value elsewhere.
Excellent service very attentive to GF! I had the brown rice pasta with lobster…amazing!
they didn’t have a gf menu, but were super attentive with allergies and had tons of gluten free pasta( didn’t had any) but they seemed rlly good! They had gf bread and the waitress was super considerately with my celiac needs
Service staff extremely knowledgeable and honest about ingredients and cross contamination. I had the Caccio e Pepe with gluten free pasta and Chicken Paillard. No reaction. Fabulous dining experience!
It’s not listed on the menu, but they have an OUTSTANDING gluten free crust for pizza & gf pasta! I had the Buffalo mozzarella one. I also had beef Bolognese (meat sauce) with gluten free pasta that was DELICIOUS!!! Some of the best I’ve had thats homemade!!
