Piccione Pastry

I had GF desserts purchased from here once and they were good. Went back yesterday for bfast and a canoli. I got a migraine a few hours later and my first thought was maybe canoli was in shared fryer. Came here to read reviews and low and behold. They really need to disclose the shared fryer part because I cannot tolerate anything in a shared fryer. Ugh.

They advertise GF cannoli, but they fry all cannolis in the same fryer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Shared fryers!!!! Don’t eat here. Was told “we are clear there’s lots of flour here...” No they aren’t. It’s says gluten free....

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free cannoli options make this place worth it. They prepare those separately and on accession have some other GF desserts available.

Staff told me cannoli is fried in same fryer as everything else. They only have one fryer. I had the gf tiramisu and merengue cookie. They were good. Glad we asked about the fryer.

I had the best chocolate chip gluten free cannoli. I am also allergic to tree nuts and corn syrup and the manager took new filling for me. The shells are kept separate in a freezer so there is no cross contamination.

I had the GF pistachio cannoli and GF Baci (see photos). They were both very good. I've also had GF cannoli at Modern Pastry in the North End of Boston and I preferred this one. I think the cannoli shell was untraditional in that I think it was baked, not fried. I was surprised how much I liked it though. I'd go again. BTW, the GF cannoli are made to order. The guy changed gloves and appeared to take precautions. I have Celiac Disease and did not have a reaction.

How was this lovely bakery rated so highly as being safe for those with Celiac Disease? It most certainly is not. Items on the SAME tray with gluten containing items, on the same shelf along side gluten products, and stored on shelving underneath gluten products, no separate wrapping, dividers, etc. Cute place, probably delicious treats, but not safe for those with Celiac Disease or other medical concerns. Fine for the people who choose to eat gf but not for those who must.

Unbelievable! My wife has Celiacs and this place has amazing gluten free. Eggs Benedict is soooooo good! The cannoli's and other pastries that are gluten free are great. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities. Stop in you won't be disappointed.

Amazing GF offerings for dessert and brunch. Check out their weekly specials. Cannolis, Cheesecake, Baci, Tiramisu, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Gelato...all GLUTEN FREE

Family favorite are the peppermint merengue cookies at Christmastime! I am not a fan of fried foods and their cannoli tasted oily to me-filling was yummy, just my taste buds

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Well, I can now say I've had a gluten free cannoli. It was delicious! They have many options! I highly recommend this place. I'd share a picture of what we are, but it's gone!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome GF cannolis! They make them in front of you with dedicated equipment. Worth a stop on Tuesday nights when they're half off!

Based on the other reviews, I decided to stop in and very glad I did. I tried their gf flourless chocolate cake and a gf coconut macaroon...both were delicious, we will be back, just not too often.

LOTS OF OPTIONS!!! This place is amazing lots of GF options from cannoli to tiramisu to flourless chocolate cake. We eat here every time we're in STL and I've never had a problem with my Celiac! Took my non GF friends and family and they are hooked now too. Don't forget to join their rewards program if you live in or frequent the area 😀

Yes

Went with family for them to enjoy. I was surprised to see a few things labeled GF. And then they recommended the GF Flourless Chocolate cake to my sister as one of their favorites. I found this funny and commented on it. Told them I had Celiac disease and they immediately told me about their GF options. They told me about the steps they took to ensure no CC but did caution that flour could be in the air so no 100% guarantees. I did try their GF chocolate chip cannoli, which was great. I tend to react strongly and quickly even to small CC, but had no problems. Also, their coffees were GF and fabulous!
