My server Jordan was very knowledgeable about what items had Gluten in them and did a great job recommending alternatives. They even had a really amazing Gluten Free dessert!

They have gluten-free pasta and pizza! It also does not contain egg which is very exciting for me! I had the pizza and it was great! The server and manager took my sensitive very serious and were very kind! I would definitely go back

I’ve eaten there twice and had problems. The first time I ordered a scallop dish and my Nima tested gluten found. I notified the server and they remade the dish - gluten found again.

The second time I ate there, I ordered a salad. I didn’t test it, but my stomach was in knots for the rest of the afternoon.

There are better gluten free options in the same parking lot that I’ve had a better experience with.

My server was knowledgeable and doubled checked with the kitchen to make sure my order was safe. I got the house specialty bolognese with gluten free pasta. They are not kidding when they say it is their specialty, I savored every bite. We also had one of the desserts (the caramel one- I can’t remember the name) it was awesome as well. I had no issue eating here and plan on going back.

Server was knowledgeable about cross contamination and items that were safe! Menu is not well marked outside of denoting gluten free pasta and pizza crust, but servers knew what was safe! Didn’t get sick from Caesar salad, which had to be modified to not include breadcrumbs, and pasta was delicious!

Wonderful pizza crust! Crispy and chewy at the same time. Chef handled my pizza with care Ana baked it on foil and in a regular oven instead of the pizza oven for my safety. Waitress was knowledgeable about gluten free options and substitutions and was really great. Definitely worth the trip. They even have a gluten free cake on the dessert menu and an assortment of sorbets. They have gluten free pasta so most pasta dishes can be made gluten free as can salads.

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.

Server and staff were very knowledgeable. They were able to modify an appetizer we wanted and had plenty of gluten free entree options. Great service and excellent food.
