The waitress was knowledgeable and there were some good options. However, the pizza is cooked in the same oven as the regular ones and the fried items that they can make “gluten-free” are made in a shared fryer. Most of the salads, the risotto, the GF penne, and the fish options were gluten free.

We had the GF pizza and risotto and gelato and it was all amazing. There were also multiple risotto options which is fun because that’s naturally GF. Will definitely return when we are in Dunwoody.

My daughter had the GF pasta with pink sauce. We were too nervous to try the pizza while traveling, since flour is such a CC risk. She enjoyed the pasta and the rest of us enjoyed our non GF entrees.

Asymptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


We have been longtime regulars and recently visited again for the first time after a celiac diagnosis.

Learned the following from emailing with the owner beforehand:

* While they have GF dough for pizzas, it is stretched on a surface used for regular dough, and they cannot prevent cross-contamination from the oven surface, so they do not recommend the GF dough for people with celiac.

* GF pasta is cooked in water that has not been contaminated by regular pasta. They use clean tongs and a clean saute pan to try to avoid cross-contamination.

* Gelato scoops are thoroughly rinsed between flavors, though cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed. Getting gelato from backup containers in the freezer is not possible.

* Entree items like steak, chicken, and fish have a much lower risk of cross-contamination.

* GF items are not marked on the menu because items are being updated constantly. Ask the manager on duty if specific questions.

Server asked about allergies up front and was appropriately sensitive.

This time, we had the burrata salad with salmon and the risotto mantecato. We got gelato directly from the counter and informed the gelato server of the allergy and politely requested an extra-good cleaning of the scoop.

Celiac friendly and so delicious! I always remind the staff to change gloves, use fresh utensils, clean pans, etc, and they always do a great job. They have so many GF options, including flatbread, pizza crust, and pasta.

I’m Celiac & very sensitive to cc. GF pizza is the best I’ve ever had but I’m so sad to say I got very sick from it. I don’t think they have a separate oven, so that is why (no such thing as gluten burning off in an oven). All other food is delicious and servers take care in listening to allergy concerns.

They have the BEST gluten free crust ever! They make it from scratch and it's delicious. I am very sensitive so I tell them I have an allergy so they take it seriously and they are kind, aware, and work to accommodate me. I have never gotten sick here. Would highly recommend.

Pizza not celiac safe, the oven is likely to be cross contaminated. I got the fish entree, they cook it enclosed in parchment paper. Was delicious.

I’ll preface this review by sharing I’m non celiac gluten intolerant. If I ingest more than 1 bite of gluten, I will get very sick, but I’m not generally impacted by cross contamination. That being said, this is my absolute favorite gluten free pizza in all of Atlanta, and trust me I’ve had quite a bit of it. The crust is puffy and delicious. The toppings are fresh, flavorful, and authentic. This is where I go when I really want to treat myself to something delicious!

I’ve never had a problem with all good being gluten free. The staff are either knowledgeable or know you find someone who is. The GF Focaccia is fantastic as well as the gelato. Pizza crusts are GF & excellent. They also have GF fish and GF pasta.

After seeing positive reviews we stopped in for the pizza, and left without eating after asking questions. Pizza is prepared on a shared surface - which they told us was safe due to dusting it with rice flour and the fact it was an anti-bacterial granite surface. They also told us any gluten residue would be destroyed in the 500 degree oven, which based on the science I've read is not true. We asked about the pasta and when I asked about using a safe colander, they did not answer but said we should avoid it if we are very sensitive. We concluded neither pizza nor pasta was safe for celiac and left.

It’s rare to be able to eat pizza and not get sick from some cross contamination. My table ordered the mushroom risotto (to die for), four gluten free pizzas and gelato. Not only did I not get sick but the pizza was the best I’ve had outside of a place in NYC. My only complaint is the manager that night wasn’t knowledgeable about gluten free when I was asking about cross contamination and kitchen practices, she had no clue how to answer me, but knowing celiacs that have eaten there I still tried it and glad I did!!
