Review of Garage Buona Forchetta

WARNING: ALLERGIES/DIETARY RESTRICTIONS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY

My daughter and I (Coronado locals) have celiac disease and went to Buona Forchetta for some gluten free pasta since it listed on the menu that they had gluten free options. We informed the waiter of our celiac disease when placing our order and asked if their gluten free pasta was cooked in different water to avoid cross contamination. The waiter told us they do not do that and were unwilling to do so because "if we did that for you this time, then we would have to do it for you and everyone else all the time". We informed him that this was not simply a dietary preference and a serious allergy/condition and they did not care and were not willing to accommodate us whatsoever. Their pizzas are also not safe for celiacs as they cook them in the normal pizza oven with regular pizzas and simply brush the flour off the stone. We do not recommend this place for anyone with allergies as they simply DO NOT CARE!
