Review of Mama Rose's Restaurant

Our waiter had a heavy accent but was willing to ask others when we hit a bump in our questioning about how safe the food was. The minestrone soup is actually just veggies and beans in a vegetable broth and is naturally gluten free. I ordered the chicken and sauteed vegetables. Both components of the meal sauteed in clean pans.

The minestrone was pretty good with white potatoes, spinach, onions, bell peppers, celery and kidney beans.

The chicken and sauteed veggies was very bland, like they didn't even add salt or pepper. My husband had the gluten filled fettuccine with an order of the veggies and said the veggies were bland and the fettuccine was bland but less so than the veggies. After calling the other highly review places in town, this sounded the safest, so if you want safe come here but bring your own seasoning salt.

The location right on the river and the building inside wasd nice. Guests were a little loud but it was a Friday night.

Edit on 9/7/19: Came back the next day for lunch. The lunch menu was very limited, only three gluten free options (minestrone soup, a lobster caesar salad and grilled veggies). I ordered a bowl of the minestrone (I ended up having two bowls because the bowls aren't large) and the waitress commented that it's the safest option for a celiac. My husband had the pork sandwich and even tried some of my minestrone (when I wad done with it). He liked the pork sandwich the best, said it was well seasoned, probably marinated. He also liked the minestrone. So my suggestion is to have the minestrone if you come.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
