Mambo Italiano

This place showed up on my app, and since it was near other GF restaurants at the Forum that I've tried, I decided to give it a go. According to their menu, most of the dishes that don't contain fried items can be combined with GF pasta (Barilla brand, which is one of the better GF pastas). I had a shrimp dish that I thought was excellent. Those with me (not GF) spoke very highly of the bread and its authenticity. Alas...not bread for me! I had a gelato afterwards, but the waitress messed up on it the first time by sticking one of the waffle cookies in it. I reminded her of the mistake, she pulled it out and was going to hand it back. I had to explain that once it was in the gelato, it was contaminated and she'd need to bring me a new one. I don't think she was as knowledgeable about how things work. But I enjoyed the restaurant and plan to visit it again to try another item on the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Contemporary casual Italian restaurant offers gluten-free pasta, or you can substitute grilled veggies in most pasta dishes. (Their online menu does not show these options.) Food is good and service is reasonable.
