Review of Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano

I had two great experiences here! I found the restaurant to be very celiac-friendly.

First time, our waitress was very knowledgeable. Chef came out to speak with me, took my order, explained the steps they take to prevent cross-contamination - which definitely put my mind at ease. They brought me gluten-free rolls (warm!) with a separate dish with oil/herbs for dipping - delicious! I ordered the caprese salad, GF penne alla vodka, and the flourless chocolate cake (with a scoop of vanilla gelato). It was very good, and I did not get sick! I ordered it again the second time we came. :)

I did feel a bit nervous the second time around - waiter was less knowledgeable (I told him I had celiac, and he said, "Allergy?")...and they were busy, and I could tell the chef was rushed when he took my order. But I didn't get sick, so thumbs up for that!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
