Review of Ristorante Lombardo

Our waiter Michael was very attentive. The "special" gluten free menu was very similar to the regular menu as many choices are naturally gf I ordered pasta carbonara, inquired about ingredients as they make they're own pasta and I have celiac disease. .It sounded fine so I ordered.The next two days, I was sick, suffering my symptoms of being "GLUTENED". I called, spoke to the chef. Found out they DO NOT have a dedicated prep area for gluten free. They make homemade pasta with gluten as well so there is a good chance of cross contamination! The flour used Caputo's GF, first ingredient has wheat* starch, modified. It has 4 ppm gluten, not recognized as gluten free by some orgs. I wrote to Mr Lombardo explaining what happened and did not even receive a response! How sad and disappointing! Eating gluten causes intestinal damage to those with celiac! The pasta carbonara and octopus appetizer was not as good as in Tuscany either!
