Symptomatic Celiac

Delicious food! But: husband has severe NCGS. The options seemed great: we ordered GF calamari, GF pasta, and GF tiramisu. We know the pasta was safe because he had leftovers and eating that he had no reaction. But the calamari was cooked in a shared fryer with regular food and was contaminated. He got very sick as a result.

Edit to add 6/6/24: The restaurant manager reached out to me personally after I contacted them about our experience and informed me they are taking increased measures to inform waitstaff about cross contact and marking items better on the menu. They do not yet have a separate GF fryer but will no longer list their fried items as GF even if they have GF ingredients. I hope this improvement works out!
