Rosti Tuscan Kitchen

Found this restaurant through both a Google Maps search of “gluten free” restaurants and confirmation via the “Find Me GF” app.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the number of GF offerings — and the care taken by the team — the menu was clearly labeled and I felt like the team cared about providing good food.

However, for the price of $28 dollars for a GF pizza (which was no bigger than 6 slices), I truly expected a lot more flavor and quality of dough. This pizza, while I appreciated the offerings of toppings and creativeness of pizza creations, the crust was overcooked on the bottom, bland, and all around in memorable.

Thinking it was only my GF pizza what was lacking flavor, I asked my dinner companions who had the roasted chicken and a salad — and both reported than while the dishes were “fine”, they were not worth the price point. I share this review recognizing that restaurants can have off nights — we all ate our meals and expressed no concerns to the team at the restaurant because maybe our expectations on flavor were not what the restaurant offers. The ingredients appeared fresh and the service was lovely. I would simply note that for the food we experienced, we would probably go somewhere else if we visited the area again.

I spoke with the manager. She said pasta is boiled and handled separately but everything else will be subject to cross contamination during the cooking and handling process. So, pasta is celiac safe but not the pizza or sandwiches.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

The gluten free pasta is cooked with separate utensils and pot from the regular pasta, whether you state you have an allergy or not. Have eaten here several times and not gotten sick. Stay clear of the pizzas, those are cross contaminated.

My only complaint is they charge an additional $4 for gluten free pasta, and an additional $7 for substituting the default bread with gluten free. Hence my 3 star rating.

They have an entire menu that is full of gluten free options, including paninis, pasta, risotto, etc. And the staff knows what they are talking about as well if you have any questions for them. Totally recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I don't have an issue with gluten, but I cannot eat any dairy or soy. I have found this restaurant to be very accommodating to my dietary restrictions and I am so happy to have a safe place to eat.

Went here after seeing their awesome gf menu that states they use separate boiling water, very careful etc, etc. tried thei spaghetti. It tastes too good to be gf. So I asked the server. She went and asked the cook. It wasn't gluten free. They gave me wheat pasta by mistake. My advice the only way to know what u are getting is to make it yourself. I'm waiting to see what happens to me
