Very limited options for gluten free, but do have gluten free pasta that tastes great and hasn’t made me sick. Limited options for sides as well especially if you have a concurrent dairy allergy.

Service was great but the GF pasta was only so-so. The only option is penne and it barely held its shape. I've had much better GF pasta else where.

Ordered the salmon, it was very good. Several gluten free entrees are available (pasta, chicken parm, sirloin, salmon) and also a soup and salad option. The manager came to the table to confirm my order. No problems, I would go back.

I was surprised to find they did seem to understand and have options that were gluten free. I talked with the manager who assured me and assisted the waitress in understanding what I could and couldn’t eat. They had a list on the tablet left on the table what food had or didn’t have specific allergens in it. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars for taste is that I’m not a fan of this type of chain, Italian style food. Unrelated to gluten I wouldn’t pick it but my friend celebrated her Birthday there so I was thrilled to have safe options and join the group.

Gluten Free Pasta was good. Sauce was tasty. I got it with the grilled chicken pieces, which tasted slimy, undercooked, and boingy. Really the only meal option for Celiacs. I would go back again for the ambiance, but the price wasn't great, and there are better options out there.

They understand a gluten allergy well but the GF pasta isn’t the best

Food was good, staff seemed knowledgeable. On the tablet, at the table, you can find the gluten sensitive menu, as well as seeing items marked on the menu.
