We order a chicken Parmesan with gluten free pasta expecting it to come with a gluten free chicken Parmesan . The meal came with a breadcrumbs ( gluten )on the chicken with gluten pasta which kinda beats the purpose. I think a lack of oversight by the restaurant and the doordash app .This is just a lack of common sense and care for people’s with health issues for a business in the food services industry -Guess what? some people have allergies in the world and they deserve to eat too. If you can’t offer gluten free food it is best you don’t offer it at all that way you can stop pretending to care. Thank you

Well they say they have gf pasta and pizza but I came at 7pm and they were out of everything gf. No understanding of gluten. I ordered a veggie pasta that was confirmed gf and asked for no meat specifically and it came fully with pancetta and meat. There was nothing I could eat.

I ordered the chicken pesto with GF pasta and a salad. The salad was good. The pasta was partly hard and crunchy so I sent it back. They tried to tell me that GF pasta is firmer than regular but I know better. The manager assured me they would cook it longer and the next serving I got was fine. They didn’t charge me for the meal. I was surprised they didn’t know to cook it longer than regular. Everyone else in my party, non GF, enjoyed their meal. The food was good but not anything special.

The food was AMAZING! Best GF pizza! Staff had no idea what gluten free was. At one point when I asked if something was gluten free she replied, “ well it’s just coated in flour and fried so I think you’re good”.... but the food was great, just need to know what your ordering

The staff was knowledgeable about the difference between gluten free and actually being celiac safe. The kitchen is trained in handling allergies. GF pasta was delicious.

I go to this restaurant often with my job and family and order the same safe meal. I always tell the waitress about my allergies. But this time I was glutened. Hoping this is an isolated incident because it’s one of my favorite places to eat. But also afraid to try it again because the pain isn’t worth it.

I had one of the best meals I’ve experienced since having to go GF! They have GF pasta and I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. Would recommend and would go again for sure.

Had options for GF pasta and pizza. There was 3 of us all that were gluten free with different sensitivities. By half way through I could tell it wasn’t gluten free and had issues. And by the time the other two got home they also had issues

Ordered a salad without bread as the GF options were only penne pasta and premade cauliflower crust pizza. Kale salad was good with salmon atop. Server was good to point out where cross contamination might be possibe.
