Big gluten free menu, including several parades and entrees. Food is good! A bit on the pricey side.

Really unimpressed with the food, we had the peppercorn chicken and pasta bolognese, the chicken was dry and bland and the pasta was that tough gluten free type pasta that has that waxy consistency. Service and ambience is great, but the food just isn't worth the reality high prices.

No GF menu, but there are some options (including pastas) although they’re not marked on the menu. I had the salmon dish which was delicious and a chocolate gelato for dessert.

My mother and I who are both celiac went here and ordered the same pasta dish with gluten free pasta. We informed our waiter of our celiac disease and that we need to ensure it is truly gluten free and there is no cross contamination. He assured us that everything would be GF. When our food arrives, we have two different shaped pastas so I asked the waiter if he was sure both dishes were gf. He asked the chef to confirm and they in fact were not. They went on to remake the dishes and sent management over. When they brought the new plates over, I asked our waiter if he was SURE it was GF. He said “well, let me go ask the kitchen again”.

They do NOT take allergies and food restrictions seriously. We will never be going back.
