Grandpa Sam's Italian Kitchen

Our waitress Nicole was so knowledgeable and understanding. She notified me immediately when a sauce i was about to order had trace amounts of gluten in it and prevented me from eating it accidentally, while directing me to a safe option. there are numerous options for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. i had the arancini, gf pasta with marinara, and la bomba for dessert. truly exceptional!!

Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about what was GF and what was not. She brought the salad bowl out with the crutons on the side without me even having to ask to do so. The GF spaghetti and GF sauce were both absolutely amazing as well. But I couldn't get over how knowledgeable my waitress was!

The waitress was very uneducated on gluten free and didn't even seem to know what gluten was. She kept insisting it was cheese and milk and meat. My pasta dish had pieces of other macaroni in it and although I took them out I either missed some and accidentally ate them or just the lack of care in the kitchen and having gluten macaroni touching my gluten free macaroni was enough to get me sick. I was sick before I finished my meal. The one positive thing was they brought me out a separate salad without croutons without me asking.

Our server was educated about the gluten free items offered in the menu and also made a few other suggestions. Mini clams, greens and beans were excellent appetizers. The entree was steak with baked potato and vegetables. I'm newly diagnosed with Celiac and have a hard time stressing the point I can't have cross contamination. I also could've done without the long hair draped across my plate. My meal was replaced rather quickly for being steak, that concerned me!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was totally glutened even after I ordered the gluten free pasta and explained in detail that I have Celiac disease. I was sick for 36 hours after eating there. It wasn't busy and the waitress acted like she really didn't care. I will NEVER go there again. Beware and eat there at your own risk. I think they say they're gluten free just to get people in their restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not a huge selection of gluten free items but what is there is AMAZING!!

I had the gluten free pasta with marinara sauce. Best sauce I ever had at a restaurant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was amazingly delicious. I haven't had a meal so yummy in a LONG time. The family really enjoyed their meals. Service was slow, but that's the only reason why a star was deducted.
