A waiter at Formento’s surprised me with gluten free bread and olive oil to enjoy with the rest of my table when the bread was brought out. Totally unexpected and so kind!

Went here on a date and they were able to seat us immediately on a Saturday evening! They asked about allergies at the start of the meal and brought me GF bread separate from my partner who had her gluten filled bread. I felt good after and even ate leftovers the next day no problem!

This was some months ago but I called to confirm they had GF fried calamari, the day before my birthday. The lady on the phone said they did. I called the day of my birthday to place the order and, as we know to do when dealing with dietary restrictions, I double checked, I asked the man on the phone to confirm the fried calamari breading was gluten-free. He said it was not. I don’t know which of them was telling the truth for sure but I did not want to take that chance with my money and my stomach.

They do not have a dedicated fryer but do make an in-house GF fresh pasta.

The staff was amazing. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. No separate menu but they know what can be modified, which is a lot. Ate dinner there for restaurant week and will definitely go back. Props to the chef who not only made an excellent meal but was willing to alter anything.
