Palermo

I have eaten here for years and thought I would have to stop with my diagnosis of celiac disease. However the staff is very knowledgeable about celiac disease. They have gluten free menu items and prepare them without cross contamination. It is an safe place if you have celiac disease in my experience.

I want to give this place a lot of stars, but my mom and I got extremely sick from the gluten free pizza. I don’t know if they mixed up our order, but I remember saying that it tasted way too good to be actually gluten free. I found out later that it definitely wasn’t. Be careful here if you’re very sensitive.

We had a wonderful dinner. Server was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and what could be modified. Pasta carbonara was delicious. So was the house salad. It was difficult though, watching everyone else devour the garlic knots! Would have been nice to have something gluten free in place of the garlic knots.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Family Run business so our waiter was just as familiar with their GF options and food prep as the manager/owner. They went out of their way to accommodate us. My son wanted pizza and the we’re out of the GF dough. He offered him a cauliflower crust pizza and asked if plain tomato sauce was ok. Then he came back a few minutes later to tell us the truck just arrived with the GF dough and if we wanted to wait a few extra minutes he would see to it that he got his GF pizza as advertised and not the cauliflower crust. We were fine with either, but was so impressed by their willingness to go above and beyond!! The most important part was that the pizza was very good. The waiter also said he would hold off on brining the garlic knot bread to our table since my son couldn’t have any! Very thoughtful!!
