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

Gluten Intolerant
2 years ago

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.

Drinks and pasta were delish. They made a GF bruschetta too! They have a GF menu online, probably in person too but I didn’t ask when I went I just pulled it up on my phone. Pasta comes with GF bread, had the waiter mark my meal as an allergy and felt totally fine after. Avoid anything fried it’s a shared fryer and also their pizzas are cooked on the same surface.

I LOVE Paesanos! All the staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free. Their pasta is amazing and comes with gluten free bread. Avoid the pizza as it is not cooked on a different surface than the gluten pizzas.

Nice ambiance, friendly service and a good size separate “gluten intolerant” menu. I had the suppressata hot honey pizza. The crust is definitely corn based and has a cakey thin texture. The edges are almost crunchy and reminiscent of a less flavorful parmesan crisp. The sauce was visibly there but couldn’t taste it at all. The hot honey, suppressata and generous mozzarella combo was great. Overall 7/10 pizza, I definitely expected more form their made-in-house crust. I would try the pasta next time

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.
