I asked my server to remove any gluten containing items from my salad. She noted gluten allergy on my ticket, but they still served me something that had gluten in it. which I called to confirm after getting sick. What’s the purpose of noting a gluten allergy if your chef and servers aren’t educated?

The server was very knowledgeable! Wine bar with grazing boards, Panini's, and bruschetta

They have gluten-free bread that they can substitute on any of their bruschettas, Panini's, and grazing boards! They don't use the Panini press on their gluten-free bread. Instead, they cook the paninis on a separate pan. (So more like a hot sandwich I guess)

The food was absolutely delicious. It feels good to be able to go somewhere with friends and be able to order shared apps for the table that are tasty and safe. I haven't been able to experience something like that in a really long time!

Great food! They offer GF panini bread, but it’s made on the same skillet/panini machine as the non-GF paninis (cross contamination). I got the raspberry chicken salad & it was so good! The bloody Marys aren’t GF. The tuna tartare w/ GF bread is safe, but the sweet potato starter is fried in the same fryer as other foods. The server was very knowledgeable and patient when I asked questions! No reactions. We will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely love this place. Very safe for celiacs! They take allergies and celiac very seriously. They offer gluten free bruschetta, as well as gf bread for paninis. Unlike other gf bread, theres is so soft and tastes so delicious so you’re def not feeling kike you’re missing out. The servers are all knowledgeable and help guide you through the menu. Food came out and they distinguished which was gf and it was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

10/10!! They are very knowledgeable about what can/cannot be made gluten free. I ordered the Chicken Mozzarella panini on gf bread. They do not have a separate panini press, but assured me that all gluten free paninis are wrapped in foil to avoid Cross contamination.

They offer gluten free charcuterie and bruschetta boards which I can’t wait to try next time.

This place is great. They have super yummy gluten-free bread that they turn into a delightful bruschetta type appetizer or a wonderfully thick grilled cheese sandwich with perfectly crispy edges and also into yummy panini style sandwiches. The grilled cheese is so crispy and crunchy and is served with creamy tomato soup. It is quite a delicious splurge!

We had a great evening at Postino. There is a bar code on the menu where you scan for a chart of detailed allergens! Additionally, they seemed to understand celiac disease and cross contamination as they don’t serve the gluten free bruschetta on the wooden boards the gluten is served on. Gluten free comes out on a white plate/platter. They also stated gluten free when the order was delivered to our table. Great experience! Didn’t get sick.
