Penne Pasta Cafe

Rice/corn pizza crust just not my favorite. Sauce tasted more like spaghetti sauce and scanty cheese. Did not try any of the pasta options

They said they could do any pizza or pasta GF. Seemed to know their stuff. I’m not celiac so I didn’t deeply vet the kitchen. I got the baked penne and it was nice.

It’s maybe celiac friendly but the food was not tasty, small portions and overpriced.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered GF pizza advising multiple times of celiac allergy, were toppings GF, etc. Assured they use GF crust and toppings GF. After we placed order at counter I called from the table to confirm again the order was GF and was assured it was (was very crowded). Pizza came out I triple checked again with server that it was GF and she said no it was not ordered that way!! I had ordered extra cheese and the 1st one looked to have it but when they redid it with GF crust there was sparse cheese only covering about half of each piece and I paid for extra cheese. After the long wait ate the corrected pie and left. It was small and average I would not go out of the way to go for GF pizza there and make sure you TRIPLE CHECK that you did receive GF if you are celiac. Prices are reasonable as it is like a pizza/diner you place order at the counter, pay, they give a number on a little stand and deliver the meal to your table.

Small size pizza; very little cheese even if you pay for extra; triple and triple check that you do in fact receive the GF crust.

Awesome little place with extremely confident and protective practices for my Celiac daughter while on vacation! She enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo,but they told me almost anything could be gf modified. Separate pizza/pasta cooking area!

Best gf pasta on the island!! I’ve been going there for years and never got sick! I haven’t tried their pizza but their pasta is amazing and safe.

Gluten free pasta and pizza options but the dishes did not taste good.

Loved how much confidence the owner gave me! He said he has been doing gluten free for 17 years. His pasta and sauce and sausage was wonderful !!! Great to support a local small business on vacation!

Celiac friendly?

Gf pizza and pasta options - had the baked NY style (meat sauce with cheese). Not bad, but could have used a lot more cheese (personal preference!).

They also have lactose& dairy free cheese options!

This place was amazing! They had gluten-free pasta and pizza. The fettuccine bolognese was delicious and the penne pesto was very nice. The pizza was much liked and the chicken parmesan was rather tasty. We will certainly come back again.

Almost anything here can be made gluten free. The owner/chef super friendly, and was happy to share all ingredients in the pasta and pizza crust. He also went out of his way to make us a batch of fries in a separate pan so there would be no cross contamination. Great experience, highly recommended!

Great gf food. The owner was nice and knowledgeable. He’s trying to accommodate many food allergies and intolerances like dairy free, gluten free etc

The gf pasta and pizza were big hits!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Bleh. The pasta was way over cooked so the noodles just sorta disintegrated. And the sauce was watery and bland. Would have been off just eating a gf granola bar.

Amazing pasta for both my mom and I. It came out fast, they were knowledgeable, and really cared about us as customers. Most of the menu is available which was AMAZING. Definitely coming back here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very tasty gluten-free options with most of the menu available.

Very friendly owner and allergen friendly menu (for gluten and dairy free). I got the pesto and three cheese pizza on gluten free crust and it was so good I actually double checked to make sure it was gf. Very delicious!

Very kind owner, delicious meal.

Celiac friendly?

Delicious food and very accommodating! As previous reviewed stated, willing to make almost all entrees GF except meatballs as they have GF pasta and pizza crust. We had the baked penne NY and it was fantastic! My celiac son had a GF version of chicken parm (no breading) and enjoyed it very much. They even had GF dessert specials when we were there. Staff was very friendly. We'll be back!
