Review of Cortese Restaurant

This is one of my few go to restaurants. I have loved the food since I was in my 20’s (I’m now 48) and have been able to eat there both pre and post celiac diagnosis. I always tell them my meal is GF and I warn them I’ll ask when it comes out. I have been served once something that we realized wasn’t the GF version but was saved by doing this. I have never gotten sick from eating there. The staff is super friendly and they remember us when we come in. The owners are attentive and care about the food served. Make sure you double check your food but I do that everywhere unless it’s truly an all GF establishment. Also, this is the only place I’ve found GF veal Parmesan and it’s AMAZING! And no one ever knows if the prime rib Au jus is GF but it is. My daughter gets GF a pasta and they clean everything thoroughly and use a fresh and separate pot to make it in. She tried Alfredo last time and it was delicious. Enjoy!
