Review of Il Fornello

I called in advance to ask how the gluten-free pasta was prepared. The person who answered the phone went and spoke with the chef. After a minute, she resumed the call and told me that the gluten pasta is cooked in the same pot as the wheat pasta. And then it was further explained to me that "the heat would cook off the 'yeast' and that this is common practice throughout the city of Toronto.".

If I was still concerned after that information because it's a gluten allergy, she would understand if I did not want to make a reservation.....

Obviously whoever's in the kitchen has no idea about cross-contamination and this would not be a safe place for those with Celiac.
