Lazzaro's Italian Bistro

Proceed with caution. Have had many delicious GF meals here but tonight got served regular, also delicious, NOT GF lasagna after stating I had celiac. Waitress appeared to understand and brought GF bread. Very sick and unhappy.

On the menu they have a symbol that says they can make it gluten free. Almost all of the pastas could be made gluten free. I got the fettuccine Alfredo and it came with a side salad, and all of the dressings are gluten free. While the table got bread with olive oil, I got my own gluten free bread with my own little plate of olive oil. The waitress seemed knowledgeable of gluten free diets and made sure I was accommodated, which was amazing. Very highly recommend.

Large gluten free selection, the waitress even brought out gluten free bread with a separate oil plate for my son, without us asking. The food was delicious, also!

There are many gluten free options on the menu, we ordered the gf stuffed shells, gf ravioli and gluten free linguine with clam sauce at our table. All excellent. Also served gluten free bread, a gluten free soup and dessert options. The gf pizza came with a disposable pizza cutter. 2 with celiac in our party and no issues. Will definitely go again! Grateful to have found this place while visiting the area.

Cross-contamination in my meal. But there are plenty of pros…I’d stay away from anything but the grill. Impressed by grilled gluten free dipping bread and my own plate of dipping sauce, ordered a dish w gf pasta which included a side salad which was very plain (aka safe). Got pretty sick afterwards - traveler beware. Was it the pasta handling? Shared cooking area? Shared utensils in the kitchen?

5-stars across the board! The atmosphere was great, the employees and guests were kind, and the FOOD was amazing!! Many GF options (I have a sensitivity to gluten and not full blown celiac). I wish I lived here so that I could try out more! The staff were gluten knowledgeable and brought GF bread with pesto oil, salad with no croutons and recommended different GF dishes. I settled on the cheese ravioli with blush sauce and I was blown away. The pasta pockets were not gritty, hard, or soggy. I cannot say more about this place. Just soo good! Highly recommend if you are looking for GF Italian in PA!!

Loved this place, super close to home. I ordered the fondue, side salad, and Alfredo, all GF of course. The waitress was super knowledgeable and friendly, she was very attentive with my concerns. I told her I had celiac and she immediately brought out GF bread. We went around 8:15 and stayed well past closing. The staff was very kind and allowed us to stay as long as we wanted. The kitchen staff said they would change their gloves and use new utensils to prepare my dishes!

1st visit was amazing, great food and great service. I did not get sick. I had the ravioli and bruschetta for appetizer.

2nd visit, food was good, service good. But within an hour of getting home I got violently ill. The worst experience of getting sick ever, so much so that my husband had to give me a shot of glucose (I’m also a Type 1 diabetic) and nearly had to take me to the hospital as the vomiting wouldn’t stop.

I got the lasagna, fondue and lava cake. The waitress was informed I was celiac and confirmed all my food was GF during the visit, but something was clearly not. We are calling them today.

this place is amazing! large gluten free selection, including desserts, you get your own GF bread and oil and if there are any shared apps, they will put the non-GF options separate! I had the bolognese and it was delicious! i also had the GF tiramisu, it was prepackaged but pretty good! as of right now they are BYOB and also have 5 house wines. the service was amazing, everyone was friendly, kind and helpful, I could not recommend them more!

My 9 year old celiac ordered GF Bruschetta and GF Lasagna. Servers and chef seemed knowledgeable. She was unfortunately very ill, and we do not think she was given the GF lasagna. Please be careful. I would not rate this as celiac safe.

Yum! Safe! Educated staff on GF! Can’t say enough good things about our amazing experience. GF food was delicious and I felt confident eating here. I had GF bread with my own dipping oil and gnocchi marinara with mozzarella cheese. Every GF item was brought out first to me and separate from my family’s food. Btw, my family LOVED their “regular” food as well, including dessert. GO!!!!!

If I could give 10 stars I would! This has been the most positive experience since being diagnosed. GF bread just for me, a separate dipping oil, and so many menu choices- it was perfect from start to finish. Our server was amazing and knowledgeable also. We live an hour away and will absolutely make the trip again- just to eat here!

The food is delicious with lots of GF options. I started with Bruschetta which was so good. I had the GF Lasagna and it was so good. I took home a slice of GF lemon strawberry cake which was also yummy. The atmosphere was great too. Local joint where staff know peoples’ names and quickly learn yours. Excellent service even on a busy night where one of the chefs was out. If you are visiting Hersheypark, skip the chain places and drive 10 minutes to this gem.

I had the GF ravioli, and it was excellent! It wasn’t “good for gluten-free,” it was really good! They are very accommodating. Our server (Marissa) verbally noted all the food items that were served as GF and separated those that weren’t on the shareable appetizer plates. She was very friendly and very knowledgeable, and I look forward to going back.

If I could, I’d post here the “Shut up and take my money” meme. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and GF is posted next to at least half of their extensive menu. Good gluten free bread is hard to find, but theirs is lovely. There are actually multiple choices for dessert - not just ice cream! - we had wonderful little cakes. The staff are knowledgeable, personable, and super conscious of allergens. Loud but friendly hometown bistro atmosphere. All in all, a perfect pick for excellent celiac-friendly dining in the area.

We will definitely be back whenever in the area. Can't say it enough as to how impressed we were. Definitely knowledgeable and friendly staff. I am Celiac's and no reaction!

EXCELLENT!!! This place was amazing... A lot of choices for pasta which was delicious and they brought GF bread to our table. I wish there were more of these places around!!!!

FANTASTIC! They were extremely knowledgeable, tons on the menu to pick from, and they even brought toasted gluten free bread to the table. I will definitely go back.

If I could give more stars, I would! The BEST Italian gluten free food around! The bread is fabulous. They will accommodate any dish on the menu to be GF. Staff is so nice, atmosphere is beautiful. BYOB! I will honestly say, first time eating out since celiacs diagnosis, that I didn't feel like I was eating a gluten free meal. FANTASTIC!

Wide variety of GF items including Pizza, Bread & Pasta. Willing to make special dishes avoiding allergens. It is a made to order, authentic Italian cooking kitchen
