Lovely friendly family run restaurant. The daughter is coeliac so they understand the requirements of this specific gluten free diet and cook things separately. First time I’ve had deep fried calamari since my diagnosis in 2005! It tasted delicious as did everything we had. Great atmosphere and friendly staff too.

Separate kitchen for gluten free. The lasagna and pizzas are delicious, but my highlight are the gluten free cannolis, which are wrapped with a florentine in place of pastry. My gluten eating partner likes these more than regular cannolis, they are a truly exceptional treat!

Genuinely great food at this place. They take special care of coeliac needs, maintaining a dedicated gluten-free section in the kitchen and offering a variety of gluten-free options on the menu. They aim to make it a safe space and we certainly felt safe. It's worth noting that while not all pasta varieties is gluten-free, they make substitutions as needed. Food was excellent. The lasagna, in particular, was fantastic. The deserts were delicious. There were GF cannoli and cake on display that we didn't have room for. Something for Next time because We will return!

A dining choice that caters to gluten-free requirements without compromising on taste.

Separate preparation food for gluten free meals and lots of options that aren't usually available for coeliacs including Calamari and cannoli. The food itself is really nice and the staff in there are really friendly and happy to answer questions about the measures to avoid cross contamination.

The owner’s daughter is celiac, so she’s made a big effort to provide a huge range of options. I was amazed to see so many GF options of Italian and European pastries! I only tried a chocolate croissant : need to go back for more.

Amazing Italian family run cafe that does GF brunch / dinner options as well as a whole set of GF homemade cakes / desserts. I believe one of the owner’s daughters is Celiac (which is always a good sign!)

I believe GF pizzas are coming soon.

They even do a GF croissant!
