I was initially nervous but confirmed they cook pizzas on separate pans and I am so glad! It was so delicious, I’ve been twice now
Offers a "Gluten Intolerant" menu. The GF pasta is only spaghetti and is used in all the pasta dishes. The pasta dishescome with a side of toasted GF bread, but i forgot to ask if it was from a shared toaster. For appetizers, I've tried the calamari fritti (my favorite) and haven't had any issues. I was told they only use gluten free flour for the calamari, but it does state on the menu that it is "prepared in common fryer oil." The fried ravioli and bocce balls on the regular menu are likely sharing the same fryer oil. I have not tried the GF pizza or sandwiches yet, but they are offered on the GF menu too. The dessert menu is limited - only GF options are ice cream or gelato.
When ordering, be sure to specify that the dish needs to be gluten free. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions.
If you have kids, they may bring out a small ball of dough for the kids to play with while waiting for the meals. It is made with wheat flour, so not safe for kids who are gluten free.
Overall, I had a great experience and the food was delicious.

We used to come here regularly. The. They changed their gluten free menu and now we always get sick. Not worth the risk :(
The waitress was not knowledgeable about GF. Ordered a pizza with GF dough, comes with a salad and I asked to leave off the croutons. She said they can't alter the way it's made. I said ok I'll pick them off. Salad arrives and I realized the croutons are ground up and sprinkled all over the salad. I didn't eat it and waitress noticed, apologized and took it off the bill.

This was the first place that came up when I googled GF restaurants near me. It was fantastic! They could make just about everything GF. They served the pasta with a baguette with butter. We had carbonara. We have been traveling and we just wanted some pasta but ended up having a really nice experience. The service was excellent and the atmosphere of the restaurant was just delightful. Definitely will return if I’m ever in Sacramento again.
Asked for the GF menu. It was a nice selection (see menu in pics). The food was tasty and safe. A nice neighborhood find.
Our server was extremely knowledgeable about GF alternatives. Everything was fresh and tasty. There were a lot of options for GF. The polenta fries were delicious. The pasta was fantastic.
I was very happy with the choices from their gluten free menu. I had fried calamari and spaghetti. I haven’t had anything battered since I had to go gluten free so this was a fun treat for me. Plus the pasta came with a piece of gluten free bread. Just make sure you specify that your order is gluten free.
I wasn’t offered a gluten free menu when I was at the restaurant but saw it online. That’s how I knew I could order the calamari. But the server was able to tell me the things that could be ordered gluten free from the main menu.
