Amazing food, so flavorful and fresh! They can make almost all of the dishes gluten free, including the pasta. The staff is very knowledgeable on allergy/celiac vs preference and make sure the kitchen is notified so they can change gloves and clean spaces. They have multiple dessert options that aren’t a flourless chocolate torte! The space is really open and great for larger groups. Will definitely be going back

Plenty of gf options and very knowledgeable staff. The bread (ask for it!) was so good. They even said for pasta they will change out the water. They definitely take gluten free seriously! I had the branzino, gem salad and chocolate panna cotta. All great! Cool space too!

Great place and safe for those with Celiac or gluten sensitivities! Drew helped us out, he was super kind and even asked if I had celiac so I knew I was in good hands. They had amazing gluten free bread for an appetizer and delicious gluten free pasta, and both are hard to come by!

Scopa was lively this weekend. Overall great meal, ambience, and service. The waiter was super knowledgeable about what options can be made GF. Your good to go with many cold options, entrees and 75% of the pastas. With any of the apps make sure to ask for GF bread - the other night it was sliced baguette with oil and then warmed/grilled. I had the mushroom pasta and would have never known it was GF.

Best Italian food I’ve ever had (includes trips to Italy). Everything is so amazing and high quality. I could eat four loaves of their bread.

So crazy that they do not advertise that they offer GF. If not for this app I would have never tried this place. The food was incredible. Server knowledgeable and guided me in regards to what I could eat. For apps I got the tuna nicoise which was surprisingly bright and fresh! Prosciutto and burrata app was also delish. They GF bread was perfect, sooo good. Most of the pastas can be made gluten free with corn noodle - tasted absolutely amazing. I got the short rib pasta. We shared ricotta cheesecake and chocolate panna cotta. All in all highly recommend.

Amazing experience! The server immediately brought over the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. For an entree I had gluten free pasta with pesto, which was also delicious. My non gluten free friends also raved about their dishes. Must visit if in LA!

The wait staff was very helpful and pointed out all the gluten free options on the menu and asked about cross contamination. The gluten free pasta and bread were very delicious.

Delicious! They brought out gluten free bread, which was very good. Stay away from any of the hot appetizers, none are gluten free. Pretty much all the cold apps are good-to-go. I had the branzino and the chitarra pasta. The pasta was fantastic! Only thing I’d note is that it’s rather noisy, but not unbearable.

The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. They cook the pasta in separate water and pot from regular pasta. Delicious dinner and dessert!

Tremendous food! Awesome service!!! Our waiter, Craig, was on top of not only my gluten free needs but also the vegan requests from another guest. They took care of us: appetizers, salads, bread, pasta, entrees & dessert. Very impressed with this restaurant.

Waiter told me meatballs were GF. I asked if he was sure since most meatballs have a bread filler. He told me meat has no gluten! Helpful. I asked him to check with the chef. Came back and told me I was right and that they are not gf. Food is good but be careful.

Super knowledgeable about Celiac. I was even informed the pasta would take longer because they would need to boil fresh water, etc. GF bread is awesome. Many of the appetizers CAN be made gluten free and safely. I've never gotten sick. After dinner, check out the speakeasy-if you can get in!

Although the gf options aren't listed, they have a gluten free pasta (angel hair) that they can substitute for most pasta dishes. They also have gf bread which was delicious! Keep in mind to make early reservations as once they run out of gf pasta they don't make more. I have celiac and I felt great afterwards!

Had a great meal here and only found out about the restraurant from this app. Very strange that gf is not listed anywhere on their menu (and the restaurant has no sign out front). Got the pasta which was yummy and most sauces gf. Even came with bread-woohoo!

Gluten free pasta - the noodles are corn noodles and just okay, the sauces are amazing! Very loud inside the restaurant. Most hot appetizers are not gluten free. The cold appetizers come with very good gluten free bread.

Delicious meal. Went for brunch. Gluten free bread substitutions available - even on French toast (perfect for our mixed needs group!) Food was delicious. Italian style.
