For a true celiac, pasta or the entree’s are your only option. Chef came out and said they could make sauce GF. Pizza is in shared space. No apps or desserts are GF. Had GF pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce. Spicy and tasty.

Certain sections of the menu, like pasta say "gluten free upon request". They were able to sub gluten free pasta as well as revise the sauce in the pasta to ensure no gluten was used as a thickener. Prepared in its own pan, with a glove change and prepped by someone who does not work near the bread station. Waiter and chef were very familiar with prevention of cross contaminating. Very pleased with the knowledge of this establishment!
