I went here for a wedding and asked the server what was gluten free on the buffet. They told me nothing and offered a menu to purchase my own gluten free menu. I needed to order and pay for my own food before asking for a manager. My food ended up comped, but I felt humiliated in that situation.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but had a wonderful experience with a very kind waitress. they have a gluten “friendly” menu saying they cannot ensure no cross contamination but the waitress was able to check with the chef who reassured me that he would prep my pasta dish in a separate part of the kitchen in its own boiling water. i had a great meal and did not get sick!
Service was a little slow, but very friendly. Nothing comes out of the kitchen labeled gluten-free and I wouldn’t trust them to keep regular pasta/pizza and gluten-free pasta/pizza separate or served to the proper person, but obviously gluten-free food like salad was delicious. I was served gelato with mini ice cream cones stuck in it twice but on the third try it came out plain. I doubt the wait staff or kitchen is trained in what gluten even is, but I’d eat the salad again.

We went to Pinstripes for dinner only. It wasn’t crowded but we went on Saturday at 4:30. They do offer a separate gluten-free menu. The short ribs with a risotto side (gluten free) was actually quite good. The pepperoni flatbread (not gf) was a little burnt on the edges but the pizza oven is brand new. The sliders are juicy. The cheeseburger (gluten free w/o a bun) was tasty. The pizza can be made with a gf crust and it is placed on a separate pan when cooked, so they try to avoid cross-contamination. Fries are NOT gf. We had two different servers but the food came quickly. Also, the chocolate gelato (gf) was very yummy. We’ll return for the food.
Dedicated GF menu. GF pizza was liked by all even non gf ppl. I did not get sick. Played bocce ball, fun place.
GF menu, not a lot of selection, only 1 GF beer. The Italian Jambalaya was good, not great. They had 3 GF desserts! Unfortunately, I wasn’t hungry enough to try.
Have had meals here and catered parties. They always do a great job.
I am a Celiac vegetarian and was extremely impressed with my food choices. I had the grilled veggie pizza, which had one of the best gf crusts I've ever had. On top, they have gf beer and cider. The even better part? Their service. They were extremely attentive due to my restrictions and could not have left happier or more full.

Pinstripes is very accommodating! The menu is labeled for things that are able to be gluten free. Sometimes things can be gf (sandwiches or pastas) but you just have to ask the server. They have gf bread (Udi’s) on a frequent basis. They have delicious gf pasta that is made in its own pot of water. Things that are fried are not gf, including fries and chips. We come here often and I haven’t ever gotten sick.
I was here for a family outing, and the gluten free pasta was ordered family style specially for me, so I felt obligated to eat it. It was chicken and goat cheese and not bad. I am glad they had a gluten free option, but as anyone with celiac knows, that’s not enough. Everyone else had a very nice meal, and staff and bowling were great. Unfortunately, I had a small reaction afterwards.
Bolognese is good. GF pizza is cooked in the same oven as non-GF. Overall have a fair amount of options and are aware of what could be problematic. Separate GF menu.

Be sure to talk to a manager about options. Items marked on the menu may come with sides that are cooked in a common fryer. Lowering my original safety rating.

We have since visited dozens of times, and each time the staff becomes more aware and accommodating. GF buns, pastas, salad, pizza, etc. It has become one of our more favorite places to eat.
Had a great experience! We went bowling and ordered food from the bowling area menu (Got the Italian Jambalaya.) Waiter was knowledgeable and menu is clearly marked with GF items. We didn’t get sick. Will definitely be back for a fun night out!
The GF pizza is not good. Crust is like cardboard. May have been given vegan cheese too.
