We had 2 GF people at our table. We had a wonderful experience. The waitress and manager took so many precautions to make sure we were safe. They had a separate gluten sensitive menu and even showed us where we could look up all allergens for each menu item. They even brought out a crouton free salad for us to share, with the extra step of giving us prepackaged dressing to prevent any cross contamination with croutons. This was definitely one of the best experiences with safety I've had in a long time!

HORRIBLE. The options are basically a stripped down kids menu. I ordered the mixed grill ... no flavor at all and was burned.

Twice now, I have ordered the gluten free noodles with meat sauce with an added italian sausage, hold the croutons from the salad and obviously NO breadsticks, and it was terrific both times!

Limited gluten Free menu, but the staff was very accommodating and the steak with broccoli I had was delicious. A manager brought the food out as a cross contamination precaution.

Just had GF rotini and meat sauce with meatballs. I asked about the pasta how it was cooked and I was told it was in a separate part of the kitchen with separate tools and pots. The meatballs have no bread crumbs. Everything tasted great and there’s a lot of food!

I eat here often and I never get sick. I love it so much. The waiter always knows what they’re talking about. Sometimes the manager even comes out to talk with me. They have amazing portions. 10/10

My son, who is ANA to wheat and other grains, had an accidental exposure at this restaurant, even after we informed (and reminded) the server multiple times about the severity of his allergy. We ordered from their gluten sensitive menu, which they assured us was safe and gluten/wheat free, but he was served a gluten free pasta with their regular pasta sauce that contains wheat. We ended up in the hospital.
