Had the GF penne bolognese. They brought GF sandwich bread and roasted garlic(brought one for me and one for my husband, I didn't even have to mention cross contamination)Our server was very knowledgeable. I'd recommend it. And there is a dedicated GF bakery nearby as well.

Not as many options available as others had listed. They do have GF pasta, but they overcooked it leaving it a mushy mess.

Best gluten free pasta I have tasted by far. Ever! Staff was very accommodating. I had the pasta with chicken and Parmesan sauce.

Terrible good. My gf farfalle with chicken was lukewarm and the bread was dried out and like a cracker. I sent my food back because it was cold and the microwaved it. That made the chicken to tough to cut. They ended up taking off the charge for my food. But pleased at all. Don't waste your time

We had the Chicken Farfalle (w/gf penne) & Rigatoni Calabrese (w/gf penne), gf bread to dip in olive oil, and creme brûlée. Server was knowledgeable about gf options. Food was very good, best in the Disney area.

So delicious. Chicken farfalle was good and creamy. They brought me gf bread to dip in garlic. So helpful. We split one plate and I was stuffed. Sarah at the bar was nice. I'm not as gluten reactive as some people, so you might need to be careful if you worry about cross contamination

I was not excited to try this place due to the other reviews. Our service was actually pretty good - not lightning fast, but our waiter was attentive and I don't remember anyone's glass getting empty without a refill. The food was so so. I ordered the chicken cacciatore. It was served over polenta - which was an interesting flavor combination, but nothing I'd order again. I was a little disappointed when I was told they had gluten free bread and all I got was two pieces of toast! However, they were knowledgable about food allergies and I did not get sick. Not my best gluten free dining experience, but certainly not the worst.

WORST dining experience in the entirety of the Disney park system. The management here needs a serious overhaul. We had read all the other bad reviews about the service but wanted to try the restaurant anyway, and what a mistake. Every negative review is true. The service is awful. But don't bother complaining because when we finally spoke to a manager about our non-existent waitress who was in too much of a hurry to finish taking orders before leaving our table, never brought drinks, etc., he defended her as having been here for so long that she's above reproach, and called her over to our table so she could start arguing with us. Literally started to become a shouting match in the dining room. The most uncomfortable moment in a restaurant ever. It only ended when we held up our hands and asked them to both please get away from our table and neither one ever come back. How any of these people stay employed by Disney is beyond explanation. The manager would not even stop defending her long enough to let us tell him what had gone so wrong. As for the food? Some was decent. Some was inedible. All in all, the worst Disney experience we've ever had, to the point we will be filing a formal complaint because these people like this should not be representing this brand. Avoid this excuse for a Disney restaurant at all costs.

Before we even received our drinks, we noticed that the majority of the silverware on our table had NOT been washed. It was all dirty and one of our glasses looked like it had mold growing in it. Instead of apologizing for the problem, our waitress dismissed our complaint as if it was a normal occurrence. This restaurant does not come highly recommended at all.
