Definitely ceiliac friendly. The owner has been working towards expanding gluten free menu for 16 years. We had multiple dessert options, most of the menu could be made gluten free with a few exceptions. Staff very nice. Delicious food.

The staff are very knowledgeable about gluten free. They have free gf bread and vinegar and oil they will bring out for you when you arrive - just ask for the gf option! Super friendly and fast service! One of my favourite restaurants to go to!!

Awesome, staff is very knowledgeable. They provide gf bread and even have a different balsamic vinegar for dipping. Just about any pasta can be made gf. The gf pasta is rice pasta. I wish they had a better type of pasta, but it is okay. The service, setting, and prices here are so very good!

Have great servers and friendly service. You can get basically any sauce with the gluten free pasta and they also have gluten free bread. Only drawback is if you don't like rice pasta it's the only gluten free kind they have.

Excellent, they offer a gf spaghetti for whatever dish you choose & gf bread for dipping. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Wish they had other types of gf pasta, but still a wonderful place to dine.

After having to leave another restaurant nearby that had no gluten free options, we called here and were assured they were able to handle a wheat allergy. We were not disappointed. I ended up having the spaghetti and meatballs with spaghetti squash. They also have gluten free pasta. Staff seemed knowledgeable and were quite helpful. Only disappointment was that the only dessert option was vanilla ice cream (even the lemon sorbetto was a no-go).

My partner and I ordered gluten free pastas. There are plenty of options available, but the pasta was very over cooked and falling apart.
