Review of La Riviera Trattoria

I so wanted to love this place and patronize it frequently since it is very hard to find safe gluten free Italian prepared in a dedicated space in the kitchen to ensure no cross contamination. The owners daughter Maria was very assuring and explained how careful they are with GF. The first time I came here the GF food and desserts were delicious so I could forgive the very small portions and high prices for a restaurant that was not upscale and had outdated decor. The second time was a huge disappointment. The food was flavorless and the service was very slow and inattentive. My family who ordered from the regular menu said the food was flavorless as well. My daughter asked for spaghetti instead of penne on the side and they charged us $5 extra because they said they only offer penne. The only thing I enjoyed that evening was the GF dessert. We all left so disappointed because we thought we found a place we could go to regularly. I'm amazed at the great reviews because the food was so inconsistent.
