Review of Cucina Basilico

WOW!! I am so impressed with this restaurant. First off, the owner Sara is Celiac and we very much bonded over that. Then I found out she has type 1 diabetes like myself too!! The food was incredible. You can order any pasta dish with GF pasta for +$2 and the menu is VERY clearly marked with GF, dairy-free and vegetarian options. Plus the staff is quite knowledgeable if you ask. We ordered a couple of appetizers (artichoke hearts and Arancini) and I got the GF pasta with Vodka sauce. They had Omission beer which was a nice addition to the meal also. I very much trusted that I was eating safely. They cook gluten free food separately, no shared oil or water. Loved my experience here and can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town!
