rustica - italian restaurant and bar

Server asked immediately if I had celiac and then I observed her notify the chefs, bartender etc in an effort to avoid cross contact on all food I ordered. Server made me feel well taken care of

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Somewhat

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

How much of the menu is available gluten-free?

— Some

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Excellent

I would give this no stars if I could. The hostess was clueless said “oh gluten is like in bread right?” And then went on to say we could have salad and flatBREAD. Do not trust their website when they say they offer gluten free. We left because the hostess didn’t even know what gluten was or what her menu was.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing, friendly staff. They are very accommodating to food allergies and as long as you let them know you are celiac, they use all new utensils/pots/ pans just for you. They have an amazing gf chocolate tort for dessert that I love, gf pasta, and delicious salads! Most things can be accommodated for celiacs except for a few things like the lasagna. Great place that also has live music on some nights!
