Waiter was very knowledgeable and told me everything I could and couldn’t have when I said I have celiac. For dessert, he even told me that several of the gelato flavors were gluten free but that they were made on the same equipment as non-GF gelato and to steer clear. Pasta was DELICIOUS, 100% the best GF pasta I’ve had since my diagnosis. Didn’t get sick and I’m very sensitive!
The server was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Most things are available gf and their gf pasta (made separately and safely) is outstanding! I’ll definitely be back.
I ate here recently and they serve spinach noodles that are cooked separately in a plate. All the sauces on the menu are gluten free. The staff are very knowledgeable and understand the issues of those with coeliac disease. The Graser salad was also very tasty and served GF. A little pricey but very safe and very tasty. It is highly recommended.

Delicious gf pasta. Understanding and accommodating of our questions and needs. Did not get sick!
They have a featured gf pasta each day, so I had a lovely creamy dish with gf fettucini. Staff were knowledgeable about gluten free and food was delicious
This place is soooo good. Delicious pasta - a spinach fettuccine. Almost every sauce can be served GF, and most of the mains too. I had the bolognese and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. My non GF partner had the prawn and mussel linguine and was just as happy as me. And the service was amazing. Felt super comfortable eating here as all the staff were knowledgeable on GF. Big portions and excellent value for money.
I was so happy to see Fino on the Ap! I’d been there several times and loved it but didn’t know they were so gf conscious for my daughter with celiac. The house made spinach fettuccine is delicious and they made it for her with an Alfredo sauce - you’d never even know it was gf. Wish they offered gf bread (Mariposa baguette would be great) but it was so nice to enjoy a meal with something for everyone! The atmosphere is cozy and service is amazing. Call for reservations - not a big place but they’re very accommodating. My go to for special occasion celebration!
Service was fantastic. Server was very knowledgeable about gluten issues. He said the food was prepared in a separate GF area. The food was even better. They had freshly made gluten free linguine. Apparently the chef is working on a GF pizza crust, but they do not offer GF pizza at this time. No other pasta was GF.
Food is wonderful, have never gotten sick. We will continue to go there every year on our anniversary, as long as it keeps serving safe gluten free food. I am a hard core celiac, so not many places that I am ok at.
Unfortunately, I got glutened badly after eating the pasta, even though the waiter sounded very reassuring.
I’ve dined here 5 or 6 times. Pasta and salads are delicious but I’ve been glutened here twice and will not be returning. So bummed, it’s such a treat when you can partake in eating (gf) pasta with others. Not great when it runs thru you
Great experience. Waiter was very on the ball with GF. Pasta & pizza options available
The first time I went was the best italian restaurant ever! The second time, I got sick all night; I ordered Fettucini and got sick, don’t know what happened
Food was not clearly marked and past reviews that they make their own pasta are no longer true, but was a very nice gf pasta, and they checked with the kitchen to make sure was gluten free for each item. The pear dessert was fantastic!
Can’t say enough good things about Fino. As a Celiac it is nice to dine at an Italian restaurant who takes gluten free seriously. They make their own GF Spinach pasta in house and have many gluten free items. Our waiter was knowledgeable about what items could be modified and made sure to tell the chef to cook it separately. He even requested no bread be brought to table without asking (I brought my own gf bread to enjoy). Enjoyed a delicious chicken piccata with lemon capers.
Service was so well-tuned to celiac's. Proactively described super safe process in Kitchen (e.g. separate water and cutting boards for GF pasta and food!) SO MANY desserts are GF. Absolutely delicious and amazing.
Many gluten free options and servers who are happy to help and accommodate. The special GF of the day was spinach fettuccine. It was great and so nice to have a more interesting option!
Amazing Italian food, homemade Gluten Free Pasta! Dined there and had absolutely no reaction. Delicious food and very knowledgeable staff, will definitely go back!
Amazing gf pasta - made in-house. So nice to have something other than penne... staff were really knowledgeable and helpful
Absolutely delicious and so safe. I am enthralled by how safe and knowledgeable the staff was about celiac
I've eaten here twice and can't wait to come back. They take care in listening to your needs and can substitute gluten free pasta for most of the menu. I love this place and can't wait to come back... Came back to update my review. I go here every time I visit the city. They really care about dietary needs and the food is outstanding.
I rarely eat Italian food out due to the concern of cross contamination. Fino takes cross contamination seriously!! Separate everything. I had gluten free spinach fettuccine - excellent!!! So exciting to find a safe place to eat! Bravo Fino!
Second time I’ve been here, and it didn’t disappoint! The gf pasta here is to die for - the best noodles I’ve ever had, even counting full gluten noodles pre-diagnosis. The sauces are amazing, the servers are lovely. They make the noodles from scratch and ensured no cross contamination - separate cutting boards and everything. Boil it in a separate pot too by default. They told me today that they’re working on a gf pizza dough too!! Can’t wait!
They make amazing in-house gluten free pasta! I've been here 3 times and have loved it every time!
A different handmade gf pasta everyday. Call ahead to find out what’s on the menu. Went twice - parpadelle one night and garlic fettuccine another. Both were great.
They say almost anything on their menu can be made gluten free. They also offer gluten free pasta.
I have a severe allergy against gluten and spend the night in the ER after eating here. I had gluten free pasta which I think was fine and I had the chicken which I believe was totally not fine but breaded. I told them 4 times I was severely allergic to gluten and they still messed it up. Do not go here!
Staff was well informed about GF issues, all the pasta dishes can be GF with a couple of different kinds of pasta. Delicious good, my non-celiac family liked it as well. Friendly staff with throwback Italian restaurant atmosphere, highly recommended!
Amazing classy restaurant. The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac disease and the pasta are delicious. I had an amazing time there (the day I went it was garlic pasta for gluten free pasta but I believe they change it regularly, anyway it was delicious). I also had a crème brûlée for the desert. Perfectly safe ans good!
Food was amazing! Had spinach linguine bolognese. The staff was super knowledgeable
I had the Gamberi with gluten free spinach linguini. Absolutely amazing meal and the staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating to make just about anything on the menu gluten free with very fresh ingredients. I am rarely impressed enough to write reviews but this place was absolutely fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼
Great food! Carpaccio was delicious. We had the Fino salad. We had the fettuccine pomodoro with grilled chicken added. The chocolate custard we had was great! The biggest disappointment was that they didn’t have any GF bread.
Love it here! The GF pasta is delicious, and almost anything on the menu can be made GF, dairy free, or both. All except three desserts are GF too so you won’t be left out there either! Waitstaff is knowledgeable about allergies. It’s a nice, slightly pricey restaurant but everything I’ve tried is delicious and the portions are much larger than I feel you usually get at this type of restaurant.
Their only GF noodle is a fettuccini. They did once accidentally bring me the wrong pasta before quickly fixing it and comping my part of the meal, but worth double checking as always in non-dedicated facilities that they’ve used the right noodles.
We went for Valentine’s Day. Beautiful place and so helpful with gluten free. The garlic fettuccine was delicious and also the salad. I am Celiac and did not get sick!
So kind and accommodating, per the waiter- you tell them what you want and they work from that point. I got the carbonara and their gf pasta of the day was a garlic fettuccine. TO DIE FOR!!
We tested the pasta with Nima several times and it came back as gluten found every single time. They were very defensive and their response was they’ve done this enough to know it’s gluten free.
Delicious food and one of the best GF pastas I’ve had in a long time. Most things could be ordered with GF noodles and they asked allergy or preference so they do seem to have a different method for both. Didn’t end up sick which is always a relief
Nice restaurant and our waiter was incredibly understanding and helpful with allergies! They make one fresh GF pasta each day. Today’s was spinach and my somewhat picky 12 yo still enjoyed it with plain tomato sauce.
What a nice restaurant with wonderful home made pasta. Nice Glutenfree beach linguini, our daughter loved it! They vary the kind of Glutenfree pasta every now and then. The gluten-free pizza dough is “ under construction “, it does not meet their standards yet. Make a reservation!
Great service.! Delicious pasta! We will be back😋
Great service. Delicious pasta; they make 1 gluten free noodle (rotates daily)that you can then pair with any of the toppings/sauces from the regular menu. Prepared separately. Server said every other table now has a GF request because of this app and its reviews! Limited dessert selection- but you’ll be too full anyway. Pretty small place located in the Andrews Hotel. So,Go early or make reservations.
Great gluten free pasta! I was able to request almost any of the sauce options with any changes/additions to them I’d like and then it was freshly made for me and added to my GF pasta! Delicious!
Believe the hype on this app about this place! It’s all true. This restaurant is outstanding! Our waiter knew about the Find Me Gluten Free app and said it’s brought in a lot of business. They are very knowledgeable about celiac and the fresh GF pasta is out of this world. I had the pomodoro fresco con Linguine and was it ever great to have a nice Italian entree of Veal Piccata with fingerling potatoes. It always seems that dishes like this are dusted In flour and are off limits. This was really special. We are returning tomorrow before heading home from our vacation.
Very good spot for Italian food! Amazing options and knowledge staff. Had a very good time!
This place is amazing! Fresh GF pasta and extremely knowledgeable staff.
Tucked away inside of a hotel, for those of us with celiac disease, this little gem has got some terrific gluten free linguine to substitute in most dishes. We ordered several entrees and shared family style; found everything tasty and stomach agreed! And yet it was the Primitivo that was the star of the show!! My goodness that bottle has aged perfectly and pairs with almost every dish on the menu. They even accommodated our +1 to our 4-top reservation. Great night, great food, absolutely perfect wine! Thanks Fino team. Please support this business
Very GF friendly. Waiter was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Many items to choose for including desserts. They take the necessary cross contamination precautions. The flavors were great but I didn't love their house made gf pasta (although I certainly appreciated it!). It broke apart and was a little mushy. The overall experience was great and next time maybe I won't get a pasta dish. Still highly recommend for a special night out.
