Delicious. They just got new GF pasta that is amazing. Such a yummy meal! Server very conscientious and detailed about good dishes for Celiac. GF dishes prepared separately. Will go back to this restaurant.

An amazing experience. Very knowledgeable staff, confirmed they could cater to celiac when we arrived. My son ordered the bolognese as gluten free and the waiter noted allergy saying that would make sure there was no cross contamination. Ordered the sorbet for dessert and the waiter again added allergy without being asked.

I don’t know about the rest of the menu but the hazelnut torte desert was awesome! We stopped here for desert after a more disappointing set of tacos around the corner.

I feel safe eating here and do not get sick. They can make most of the menu GF, but you’ll have to do some mods to eat most/any of the apps or salads. A lot have breadcrumbs etc

The staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac and very careful about the chicken I added to the salad. The waiter was incredibly helpful. They offer gluten free pasta and pizza but I’d suggest asking more questions about how they prepare those.

So tasty, but so not safe for a celiac. Ate here for dinner on Monday 5/6/2024. Service was great. Talked with the server about my gluten issue. Her assurance and that of the positive reviews led me to order bolognese pasta. Portion suffered from shrinkflation for sure. I am sure that I was glutened here. I had eaten at home for 3 weeks prior and this was the first thing I’d eaten that day. Very tasty and probably safe for gluten preference people but I can’t see why I’d ever go back.

This might be the best gf pizza I have had. The crust was light and crispy. It seemed to be the size of a normal pizza which was appreciated.

Delicious! And creative! Like another comment, I wanted the truffle bread, but gluten free, and they used their GF pizza crust to replicate the dish for me. By far the best GF pizza I've ever had! It's thicker and softer than places like Blaze and Mod and Maddio's. All pasta options on the menu are offered GF, and they'll try to find a way to make other menu items GF if requested. Have already been back! Definitely a new favorite.

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.
