They have a whole GF menu with lots of options. All pastas can be made GF. They do have GF buns for burgers. They even have GF brunch items on the weekends like GF French toast, or GF egg Benedict and more. They have GF bread that they use for bruschetta which is amazing! PLUS 45 different wines. They do get busy when events happen around the area but for the most part you don’t need a reservation but calling ahead wouldn’t hurt. They also have a wine club with tasting dinners. The street getting into the restaurant is weird so going into the Taco Bell parking lot to get to their parking lot is the best way to get in there.

We were there the week between Christmas and New Year 2023. It was our first visit. We were shocked that we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. The chicken was barely edible, It was so tough. The vegetarian pasta is made with figs…odd combination that isn’t tasty. The family that owns and runs the restaurant are certainly kind people, their food was not good at all!

I had an excellent lunch here. The owner told me they make everything in house and they understand gluten allergies and take precautions. I had a wonderful sandwich with homemade gf bread and a Caesar salad with gluten free croutons!

This place is amazing! If you have celiac they have a gluten free menu! They even have gluten free chicken parmigiana and bread prior to your meal! I also have a soy allergy and they were willing to accommodate me with that allergy as well! Heather our server was knowledgeable and super helpful when ordering. Owners were there and even came out to see how our meal and experience was. If you do not have any allergies the food is fantastic and should be a place you are considering!

Lots of GF options. It's rare to find a place with a GF menu that is the size of the regular menu. Very delicious. Server was great.

Our server was very knowledgeable about gf options. My sister and I both got a pasta dish which was pretty good. My favorite part though was the gluten free brownie with ice cream. Delicious!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food, helpful staff, great menu options, and very accommodating for celiacs. I would highly recommend this restaurant! And don’t leave without trying the brownie dessert!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrible place! We ordered GF pancakes and they tasted like undercooked flour- just awful! I had one bite couldn't eat them we ended up going somewhere else. Wait staff is not helpful either. 1st and last time we go there.

Just had the best eggs Benedict in years and all GF! Can't wait to try Lobster Benedict and stuffed French toast....I'm in heaven!

Really bad gf food. Appetizers were on toasted sandwich bread. Ok, but not impressive.

We had a party of 8, so we tried a good portion of the menu. All were disappointed. The pasta was mostly mushy and obliterated in the sauce, yet some hard clumps remained.

The steak was too tough to cut. The potato tasted like it had be filled with instant mashed potatoes.

It's rare that I've been to a place where everyone in the party was disappointed. We turned down a free birthday dessert so we could leave.

I realize the quality of gluten free foods is often different. But there are so many good options out there now, there's no reason to come here.

Restaurant is also located across the street from a very seedy part of the light rail.

Just... Go somewhere else.

While they do offer decent Gfree options, the quality has diminshed. To make crostini Gfree style, you must toast the bread to a crunch..it does not stand up to flop. Pasta was so so

Loved the bruschetta!!!! Service was great, burger was undercooked but had a nice experience overall

Food was good, ate there once no problem then second time got sick.... No for celiacs!

We went to Mesa for the weekend to see family, and came to eat here twice. We came for breakfast and for dinner.
