Review


We visited this restaurant based on the reviews and all the gluten free options. We were there at the end of their lunch hours and ordered one gluten meal and one regular. I needed gluten free and was happy when they brought gluten free bread to the table—until I tried it. It was typical gluten free “dry” and completely lacking flavor. We ordered gnocchi’s with gorgonzola sauce with pears and walnuts. The gnocchi were good enough, but the sauce was lack luster as well. A gorgonzola sauce should have a distinct flavor. We ordered gluten free tiramisu for dessert and that was very good. Good flavor and a definite repeat. The prices were in line with what other restaurants charge for similar dishes.

The service was fine, but as much as I want a restaurant that offers gluten free to do well this is not one that I would return to or recommend.
