Review of Tavola Rustica

I wanted to love this place but it was so incredibly disappointing. I was looking forward to the meatballs, since they were mentioned several times. But when I asked the waiter for choices beyond pizza, he told me there was nothing gluten-free (and seemed irritated that I asked). The pasta is cooked in the same water, and the meatballs are not gf. I ended up ordering the pepperoni pizza, and for $23, I received a small, cracker-thin object that was burnt to a blackened crisp. They did not bring my food until everyone else was done eating. I salvaged what I could because I was starving, and ended up with a killer headache for the next 24 hours. Everyone else loved the food, so clearly they just do not want to accommodate gf diets. It would be nice if they just said that upfront, as there are so many other great restaurants that appreciate our business.
