It gets 2 stars because they are very friendly there and I think the service is nice, but they have terrible gf options. It's all a crappy penne pasta, and they did not cook it properly so it fell apart. I'm not expecting gourmet, but I do expect at the very least, for a $12 plate, it should be at least as good as the tinkyada pasta. I wish they would offer more and a bit higher quality gf noodle.
Staff are trained about gluten free options. GF pasta is very good. They are expanding their GF menu soon!

Reviews of this Chain
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.
