Great place! Even on a busy Friday evening I felt safe with the options they offered from the gluten-free menu. The gluten-free pizza is prepared in the same area as the regular pizza so I went with a salad and pasta option instead since the pasta is made in its own pan.

Separate gluten free menu. Not dedicated area but told they wipe down/clean before preparing GF dough. Daughter had GF pizza and had no reaction; she has a severe sensitivity- Celiac’s disease.

We went to the Winter Park location. Not every location has gluten free pizza. Best gluten free crisp crust I’ve ever had! Tastes like regular pizza! Call their location before you go to make sure they have gluten free pizza.

The attempt and sincerity is here. I'm afraid the education and facility is not quite celiac friendly yet. If we lived here would attempt to educate further. Food is good just getting cross contamination. I didn't ask about making sure they cook the gf pasta in its own water. Had gf margerita pizza and gf chicken Verona pasta.

Wow this was awesome! And Italian restaurant with a gluten-free menu. We started with the bruschetta appetizer and really could not tell the crust was GF it was the best crust we have had! My daughter has the Alfredo, I had the shrimp with lemon sauce. After trying the crust I wish I had ordered the pizza pasta was great but the pizza was unbelievable. My daughter did not have any reaction

Wow, just wow. I ordered a gluten free white pizza. Not only did I get no symptoms of cross contamination but the gluten free pizza was the best I've ever tasted. Was also the cheapest! Prices were amazing as well as the food. A party of 3 eating for $30 at an Italian restaurant is unheard of. Definitely recommend!

Sadly not all their locations have the same practice. Lake Nona says it have GF, however use all the utensils to put topping and such on things like pies. If one kitchens staff is not correctly trained, are they all?

Not bad but today didn't match the previous reviews. We had pizza, steak and cheese, and fettuccine Alfredo. I had a pasta dish with sausage and veggies. Pasta was very tough. Nice people though and will give them another shot soon.

My husband and I came here for lunch and I enjoyed the Pizza Bruschetta and the Pasta Alla Gio Verona sub meat for shrimp. I truly enjoyed my meal here not just for the great food but because I felt very safe. Joe, the owner, ensured us his kitchen staff was trained and knowledgeable and not to worry about anything. The waitress was also very knowledgable which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend and will be heading back soon!
