The staff was nice and gave me a gluten free menu. However there are signs posted everywhere and it is explicitly stated all over the gf menu that the kitchen is not safe. They use the same cutting boards for everything. They pretty much guarantee that cross contamination will happen. We left before ordering because I am too sensitive to risk it. If you’re not celiac or supper sensitive this may work for you.

Great accommodating GF menu. Provides a list of all their GF ingredients which allowed for a sort of create your own meal. I had Italian sausage with sautéed mushrooms and marinara over Brown rice. Was skeptical about the brown rice, but sold in the end. They do not currently offer gf pasta or pizza dough, but hopefully their research will change this.

Very accommodating to my gluten sensitivity. I was assured that I could choose any other entrée if I was not satisfied with my initial choice. I had the spicy shrimp caldo marinara on brown rice preceded by a tasty potato soup. Nothing was sent back!

The cauliflower crust was the worst I’ve ever had- mealy and completely tasteless. And it was either gluten-y or cross-contaminated, because I was up in the middle of the night yarfing my guts out. I hated it on the way down, and I hated it even more on the way back up.

I had the gluten free pizza at Orlando’s and it was the best I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh and the sauce was rich in flavor. The crust was crispy on the edges and did not fall apart. I ordered the meat pizza and added mushrooms and black olives. Reagan, my server, was friendly and knowledgeable on the gluten free options. I have been to Orlando’s before and substituted the pasta with brown rice. Delicious! Orlando’s is a place to go for great service, amazing ambiance, and authentic Italian food.

This listing should be changed. It says that the restaurant has gluten free pasta. Brown rice is not pasta. Brown rice pasta is pasta. But brown rice by itself is just rice.

They did not have any big gluten-free menu, but the food was very good. They substitute brown rice for pasta in some of the dishes. I had the shrimp scampi over brown rice and it was very good.
