Pelato

Unfortunate experience with the owners wife. Before I dive into that- yes it has GF pasta, but other than that there isn’t much on the menu. The staff isn’t knowledgeable and doesn’t even seem to care about GF.

Food would have been good (we loved their NYC restaurant years ago and Luogo), but one entree came out and the other one still hadn’t come out after 20+ minutes. The owners wife came over, and Instead of offering an apology and taking significant charges off the bill, she came over to our table in a huff and offered to comp the missing entree and it would be out in 4 minutes. We expressed our disappointment and understood it was a busy night, but that we were bummed by the experience. The conversation escalated into the owners wife storming off after yelling at us that “20 minutes isn’t long in a busy restaurant.” She then went on to say they were going to offer us free dessert. When I said we didn’t want that, we just wanted our original food, she sarcastically screeched “reallyyyyyy.”

All I can say is 20 minutes IS long between entrees and we had to flag our waitress down just to ask what was going on. Avoid this restaurant unless you want your night ruined.

Incredible gluten free experience!! I’ve been twice now and both time the servers have been very knowledgeable about gf options. They have incredible gf pasta that they make in house, lots of great gf starters, and an amazing frozen espresso martini!

Pelato may be one of my new favorites in Nashville. The owner’s wife and daughter are celiac so they totally understand GF. Almost all pastas can be made GF (and it is one of the best GF pastas I’ve had out), and are cooked in separate water. Lots of stuff on the menu for GF, and some can be modified to be GF. I had fantastic mozzarella and prosciutto, great pesto pasta, and a peach melba for dessert. Will so be back! Super safe

Just ate there and spent well over $200 on food for a special occasion. It was totally worth it! I had the shrimp scampi and ended up ordering another one. The gelato was amazing and so was the Dark Chocolate Budino. Service was great!

Wowowow! Had an amazing meal here last night. The gluten free pasta is the best I’ve had in years. My waiter told me anything made in the fryer was not celiac safe contrary to what another reviewer said on here so I would double check if you go. We had pasta, salad, broccolini, escarole and beans, and a chocolate budino - it’s the next day and I feel totally fine. I can’t wait to eat here again!

Had a delicious and safe dinner at Pelato! They make their own GF pasta!!! Menu is via a QR code and is fully marked. Per my waiter, everything marked GF is cross contamination safe. Great new celiac option in Nashville.
