Excellent food, service and ambiance. Owner (from Venice) came to the table and was very attentive. Gluten free pasta with sausage was excellent. Large wine selection and several gluten free deserts. Amazing Italian restaurant!!!

This was such a disappointment. We drove 30 minutes to come here based on all the amazing reviews. They do not have gluten free bread or gluten free breadsticks. The gluten free pasta was ok. The gluten free pizza is a cauliflower crust. I was excited to have a delicious Italian dinner, came with high expectations and left knowing I will never return. The waiter was either too busy to care or didn't take gf seriously. I was sick after eating there and I'm not a celiac.

This place was amazing! When we walked in with a reservation they had our table flagged that someone had a gluten allergy. The staff was very knowledgeable and understood the precautions needed for no cross contamination. The server brought out gluten free bread for us and my meal came on a different colored plate from the rest of the table. I had the gluten free penne with a 4 cheese sauce. It was absolutely delicious!

Amazing gf pasta and eggplant Parmesan! Small restaurant which usually makes me nervous for cross contamination(especially with Italian food because of the flour) but this was great!

The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. The menu was extensive and I was excited to eat the mozzarella bruschetta (highly recommend). My guy is not GF so he had the chicken parmesan and it was okay, he prefers a less authentic sauce flavor. I ordered the carbonara with fettuccine. The pasta itself was beautiful, but the bacon was nearly raw. The sauce was a bit over cooked, because the eggs had actually hardened a bit. We enjoyed the wine. It was a decent experience. Maybe I made a bad decision not to order pizza. Worth a shot!

Wow, 80% of the menu can be prepared gluten free. Their GF pizza dough and pasta are both right from Italy and very good. The pizza dough is much less sweet than typical American options. Owner is from Venice, Italy where he owned a few restaurants. Very accommodating place.
