Review


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.
