I was very excited to try this restaurant which is close to my house. The menu indicated that many items could be made gluten free, including two of my favorites: gnocchi (which I've never seen/had GF before) and penne alla vodka. I asked the waiter to confirm that the gnocchi could be made GF. He said, "Yes because they're potato dumplings." I told him there was actually flour in gnocchi and asked him to confirm with the chef. He came back and said they they could not be made GF. So I asked for the penne instead and was told the only GF pasta they had was spaghetti.

The food was good but more employee education would be better along with another pasta option.
