North Italia

This place was great! I called ahead as it is an Italian restaurant just to ensure they were truly aware of gluten allergies and cross contamination. I was almost immediately put on the phone with a knowledgeable server. That evening, we had a different server who obviously knew about gluten allergies as well as my oldest daughter’s tree nut allergy. He knew which dishes were safe for me and her and how to alter any dish to make it safe. The kitchen put pistachios on a shared appetizer. The server(who did not bring our food) saw the pistachios and had the dish remade. The manager also came out and spoke with us Re: the mistake. She was kind and aware of both of our allergies. The appetizers we ordered typically had regular bread so I asked to have it removed but he said they have a gluten free option to replace it. It was a simple gf pizza crust but it was really good and I was able to enjoy my carpaccio and buratta on a “bread” for the first time in a long time. 10/10 knowledge, food quality, and service!

The server seemed well-informed about avoiding gluten and provided good info about menu items. When she didn't know, she checked with the kitchen and relayed cogent information about what wouldn't be safe, and why. Their menu does not identify gluten-free items, but they say that almost everything on the menu is or can be prepared gluten-free.

Clearly they are making a good effort to accommodate gluten-free customers. Even so, I had some discomfort the next day that tracks my exposure to gluten. I had steak with risotto and a lentil soup; I suspect that if anything the soup would have been at greatest risk of cross-contamination.

Apart from that, the service was good and the food was delicious. I would not hesitate to return, although I would order more cautiously.

I've eaten here somewhat regularly for almost 2 years, and only had one issue. The server just didn't seem to be well informed. But every other person I've encountered was great.

Staff was super knowledgeable, but still got sick. It's my fault after learning it's a scratch kitchen. Probably got cross contaminated by flour in the air. If you are gluten sensitive you'll probably be ok, but celiac maybe not. The food tasted great though. They said they do make the bread on separate pan. Two choices of gluten free pasta, either corn/rice base or vegetable, and have gluten free pizza crust. Staff was really nice. But still, be careful if celiac.

All the food was wonderful! The staff was fabulous, and they could switch most any dish to gf. They asked my daughter if it was an allergy and took care to not cross contaminate. They can do gf pasta, pizza, and croutons gf.
