Staff was very knowledgeable. Options for gluten free on almost everything - except lasagna and certain drinks. Food was fantastic and staff were great.

Rare specializes in dry aged meat and offer some pasta dishes. They offer gluten free pasta that is homemade. The ragu is delicious. GF options are clearly marked on the menu and they have a decent selection. Over half the menu can be made GF. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Fort Collins.

I am celiac. I have eaten here before and it had always been safe and trustworthy. They have outside dining. Since the pandemic I've found the hostility towards Celiacs to be worse. People seem to believe it's a food fad issue not a deadly immune disorder. The trustworthiness of staff has decreased dramatically. A friend was insistent we go there for my birthday and though I was afraid I'm tired of not living a normal life. Turned out to be all that I feared. I ordered the Risotto. When it came it was pretty soupy but I tried a few bites and the third bite I pulled up spaghetti. It was like someone had dumped the water from a pan used to cook pasta in my risotto. They brought a new bowl which had a completely different consistency. In the end Rare gave me my meal for free which was good because as we left I became sick and we had to pull over where I threw the whole meal up on the side of the road. Happy Birthday! I have been struggling with issues since September '23. It's really hard even for the most excellent Restauranteur like the owner of Rare to keep an eye on all their staff. Some staff are just sloppy, careless or lazy other are purposefully dangerous. The intentions here were good but all was thwarted but a bad member of kitchen staff.

Maybe the best GF pasta I have had. They had options galore, not just one or two menu items. And, their flourless chocolate torte was delish!

Delicious three course dinner. They safely prepare gluten free crostini for the antipasti platter. All steaks are gluten free as are other options. There are a variety of dessert options. Kiddo had ice cream for dessert. Zero reaction.

Amazing handmade, gluten free pasta! Our waiter, Andrew, was gluten free as well, so he really looked after me. There were only about three items on the menu that they could not make gluten free, all items were clearly marked, and anything that went into the frier (try the fried green tomatoes—amazing!) went into one just for gluten items. Wonderful flourless hazelnut chocolate cake. Everything we had was delicious.
