There are limited choices here but all pretty good. Be aware the gluten free pizza & bread (their pizza dough) is baked in the gluteny oven so not safe for celiacs. The catering manager went out of his way to make me a gluten free version of the lamb on offer at special events I’ve attended there. So appreciated. Plus, great cocktails!

The gluten free pasta is amazing! Best we've had in 15 years. They import it from Italy. The server was very knowledgeable. We had pasta with pesto cream sauce and carbonara. Would highly recommend!

Careless wait staff served me pasta with gluten despite asking multiple times for gluten free. Manager offered to make me something else, as if I could trust the kitchen at that point. Avoid at all costs.

Great food and knowledgeable server about celiac needs. Katia was awesome. I had the carbonara with GF pasta and she suggested adding peas. She assured me the pasta would be cooked in separate water. It was delicious and I had no issues. I rarely eat GF pasta because of the texture, theirs is spot on. Loved ❤

Waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great meal without any issues. And I’m super sensitive.

Review
Food is yummy here and they can substitute anything with gluten free pasta. However the gluten free bread ( which is a GF pizza crust) was baked in a regular pizza oven and got cross contaminated. My kid who is highly allergic to gluten started coughing right away after eating it. Just be careful of that. Otherwise it’s a great restaurant.
Review
Great pasta they will also fix their pizza crust as bread sticks so you can enjoy "bread" with your salad
Review
They do a great job with gluten free here. It's a nice, fancier place to eat at. They have gluten free pasta, gluten free pizza, and some other gluten free entrees.
Review
