The staff is very accommodating & helpful. We all had a great time. I went with a big group of 30 friends & everyone’s food looked & smelled sooooooo delicious! My pasta was beyond over cooked and slightly slimy/falling apart. My friend who can eat both and enjoys gf pasta time to time even tried it and grimaced. She had to eat another bite off someone’s plate to get the flavor/texture out of her mouth. I’d skip this meal next time.

Went for lunch this week. Only gf options are penne pasta or salads. Was told all sauces are gf. I ordered the penne, but within a short time, I was sick. If I were to go back, I’d stick with a salad to be safe.

The service was good and she knew the gluten free options...however, I ordered the gluten free pasta and when the food runner brought it out they even said it was gluten free but within minutes of eating it, I knew I had something that was not gluten free. I don’t know if the kitchen made a mistake or if it was too much cross contamination but I had to leave a friends birthday dinner embarrassing early. I would just advise to proceed with caution

Lunch visit. Hostess informs there is no GF menu. After server speaks with manager, I am presented with (the only) GF option, which is a lemon chicken dish with polenta and veggies. I asked for GF pasta in lieu of polenta, and server informed me that I also had to give up veggies too. Odd, but ok, until we see the bill. After forfeiting the polenta AND veggies, were the undisclosed GF upcharges really necessary?!! The chicken was very bland, so much that I asked for lemon to squeeze on it for flavor. We only had to wait 10 minutes for that (after the food had been served). My kid ordered plain GF pasta (no sauce although offered on menu), but again they were sure to upcharge for GF. It was overcooked and mushy, she didn’t eat two bites. My husband who does not have celiac and is not GF enjoyed his turkey meatball parm sandwich. Won’t be back until we need to set our money on fire to keep warm.

Went there last night and was highly disappointed. The staff knew very little and acted very dismissive when I was asking questions. They did away with a gluten free menu and when I asked further was told "you can have GF pasta and most of our sauces". Not helpful. When I did get my pasta is was not good quality at all. I could seriously have made better at home and not risked the contamination (and saved about 25 bucks). Also there is an up charge for GF pasta which isn't shocking to me but was never communicated to me. When I saw the bill was when I was first informed. Will not be returning.

A short but sweet gluten-free menu, which I requested from the host. My heart skipped a beat when the host offered rolls, but when I asked of they were gluten-free, he said no. Anyway, the lone appetizer that was safe was the mozzarella and tomato, which had mealy tomatoes and way too much sea salt. Coffee was weak, too. Since these two items were also part of the regular menu, I was quite surprised. Pasta was ok, passable.
