Review of Ceo's Gelato Bistro

They have waffle cones labeled as gluten free, but when I asked if they were made on shared equipment, the staff confirmed they are, and the waffle irons are not cleaned between batches. I opted for a cup, assuming that would be safer.

Gelato and sorbeto flavors are labeled for allergens, and most don't overtly contain gluten. However, although the owner later said that they should have, the server for my order didn't use a clean scoop, and didn't scoop from an untouched part of the tray. I think there was likely contamination in the sorbeto itself, too, since I'm not strongly reactive but still had significant symptoms the days following.

I'll bring my kids again, but I don't think I'll be getting anything for myself in the future. Pity, because it's very tasty, but I don't like the after effects.

I'm giving a one-start overall rating because this is an app for gluten-free folks, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have to avoid all gluten. Without that, it would be fine.
