Review of Ciao Italian Bistro

If you are very sensitive or have celiac, I WOULD NOT recommend this restaurant. The owner assured me that they are very careful and could make any pasta dish gluten free. I ordered a salad and it came out with croutons. Then, I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs that they make with penne pasta. I asked again if it was safe and they said yes. It came out and I asked the waiter if the meatballs had breadcrumbs and he was very unsure so he went to check. He came back and said, "yes there are some breadcrumbs in the meatballs". I asked how they could call it gluten free and he said, "most people just want the gluten free pasta for no carbs, so they don't care about the breadcrumbs in the meatballs." I ended up not eating at all. They were very apologetic and nice, but that does not help the fact that I would have been very sick had I not checked and double checked.

Celiac friendly?

No
