Pepp & Dolores

Really wanted to love Pepp post-diagnosis as much as I did in my pre-celiac days, unfortunately not the case. I only have “reactions” when I’ve had far too much gluten exposure. Tried pasta twice here, both times was glutened despite the server’s awareness and the notes made for my order. When I called and spoke with someone who worked at the establishment they told me that they try to accommodate gluten allergies but during rushes “accidents can happen.” Guess we will be sticking with the other spots in town.

Quaint little Sicilian restaurant downtown. Excellent service, our server completely understood what was gluten-free. We loved the beans and greens and fried artichoke. They had 4 pasta options that were gluten free.

Seemed very knowledgeable and good selection of items that could be made GF by request. Unfortunately was cross-contaminated and so would not recommend if you are celiac

They do not have a separate gf menu, but the waitress was knowledgeable in items that are gf and/or items that could be made gf.

All but two (sunday sauce and Swiss chard/sausage) of the pastas can be made gf. The wedge salad and green salad are already gf, and the gem salad could be made gf.

We did not get an appetizer but she noted the marinated cucumbers are gf and some of the other appetizers could be made gf.

I ordered the wedge salad and spicy vodka pasta. Delicious and the service was great. No issues, celiac.

Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable about what options were GF and how others could be made GF. They offer GF pasta that was great and many fried options can be made GF. Server even checked with the chef and let us know the peppers/onion are on a shared grill space as the bread. Never got sick and was a wonderful experience with plenty of options. Celiac.

Always love coming here!

The salads/most appetizers are all GF (highly recommend the marinated cucumbers) and they are always accommodating.

All pasta dishes except 1-2 can be made gluten free so just make sure your waiter/waitress is aware you want the GF pasta!

*the reason why I put safety as a 4 is that while they are VERY knowledgable and accommodating, they say for anyone severely allergic there is not a 100% guarantee that there won’t be slight cross contamination but they do their best to keep everything GF separate. I am celiac and have never gotten sick from here

They do not have a gluten free menu, but they do gluten free pasta. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about which pastas could be done gluten free. We got the vodka and the gricia and both were delicious.
