Do not go to this place if you have celiac. I had made a reservation , called and asked if they could accommodate someone that has celiac, they told me yes. When my husband and I got there, I informed the server and she said , we cannot eat here because they cannot accommodate me because I have celiac. We left right after that.

Rocca cannot accommodate gluten free diners. They do not have a GF menu, any notations (or even descriptions) on the menu, or any kind of allergy listing. They claimed on the phone they have GF options, but not really. As we were being seated, the hostess told me "we definitely have options for you, your server can let you know what's gluten free - but avoid the GF pasta since it is all cooked in the same water." UGH! That’s not gluten free pasta. The server was awful, he was flustered and agitated, asked me personal questions, made me feel unwelcome and high-maintenance, and kept saying they could not accommodate me and nothing was gluten free. We finally determined the mozzarella cart was probably safe (it was fantastic) and the fish was GF (huge, very expensive and meant to share.) The entire experience was awful and even though they had been told we were celebrating our 32nd anniversary, not one person acknowledged the event. We won’t be going back.

Tips


Celiac

The GF pasta they offer is cooked in the same pot and water as their regular pasta. They do not offer pasta that is actually gluten free.
