Ordered gluten free pasta and when it came out was not gluten free, had regular pasta mixed in very apparently, so most likely boiled in the same water. I'm celiac and was illl for days! Would not recommend.

They do offer a GF pasta and sauce. Ask for the salad without croutons.

They have a dedicated Gluten Free. The gluten free pasta was delicious with meat sauce. Salad without croutons was great. Waitress even let me try the gluten free pasta. Highly recommend.

They are very accommodating with an electronic allergen menu. The Gluten Free pasta was good but because I am also lactose intolerant I was very limited to what it goes with. I went the basic meat sauce and it was better than nothing. Tasted better warmed over with a little basil and feta cheese added. Just don't forget to omit the crouton in the salad.

Terrible. Ordered gluten free pasta and was served gluten free pasta with spaghetti noodles in the dish as well. Clearly no precautions were taken to not mix noodles. I did have an allergic reaction.

We still come here occasionally because my family likes it, and there are GF options, but they're not great. You can get soup and salad (no crutons), grilled chicken parm, plain salmon, plain steak, GF pasta with sauce... and that's about it.

The grilled chicken parm is OK, but the other options are bland and kind of depressing. And I still get stomach issues sometimes; if I was a more sensitive Celiac I probably wouldn't trust this place at all. And there are much better options in the area.

Celebrated my daughter's birthday here and they do have a gluten/allergy digital menu. I addressed my celiac concerns to the waitress and she was knolwledgeable and ensured our food would not be cross-contaminated. Overall great experience. Would come back.
