Review of Francesco's Restaurant

We placed a fairly large order for delivery; I called and spoke to a woman to place the order, and was specific that we had a celiac sufferer in the house and that the entire order needed to gluten free and taken care of. She assured me they knew what they were doing.

The food was good, and everyone ate a bit of everything, but my daughter (the one with celiac) started to be super nauseous at bedtime, and ended up vomiting that night and being miserable the next day (both her main symptoms of being glutened).

When I called the restaurant to ask about what could have happened, they said they don't take steps to prevent cross contamination; same oven for the pizza, same water/boiler for the pasta, etc. Not worth a fight, but we'll never go back. They're menu says "all prepared in a gluten free environment" which is apparently a lie.
