Very tasty GF dish. I only gave 4 stars since I've only been here once. Restaurant was a rather noisy.

First off- it is celiac safe and for that I give it two stars. Okay, it's on 23rd, nice to have a safe reliable option, but being Italian, it wasn't very good and reminded me of Olive Garden. For those of you looking for good pasta to make at home, try Jovial brown rice pasta, closest one I can find to real pasta-and non gf folks cannot tell the difference. The marinara sauce was little bland- I say try maybe Alfredo sauce or something else. Overall-just eh and okay I suppose.

Excellent gf pasta dishes! The staff demonstrated they were familiar with gf & were happy to accommodate me. They use separate pots & have dedicated gf utensils. I have celiac & did not have any symptoms after eating there. Highly recommend it!

Two types of gf pasta available to sub for any of their regular pasta dishes. I can't report on cross contact. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. Was good.

One of our favorite go-to places. They're very accommodating for all needs. I'm the celiac one, but my husband is low-sodium, and they answer all our questions and requests.

Easy, quick option. I asked, and they explained that gf pasta is always cooked separately and they have a protocol for an “allergy”. I’ve never had a reaction. When I’ve tried to order online, there is not an option to mark allergy, so I call instead.

I loved it! I ate there every night on my week long trip. You can choose any of the pasta dishes and just tell them to use gluten free pasta! I recommend the pesto pasta, or the one with vegetables!
