Delicious chicken meatballs (also dairy free!) and the gluten free pasta was also great. Very quick service too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Simply Delicious! Great service asked if I had celiac pointed out lots of options. Only one gluten free meatball which is chicken and really savory! You can eat all the sauces I had the classic tomato and the risotto in a bowl! Couldn’t even eat it all portions are big! Also had a yummy Cosmo! A very happy celiac!

Had nice glutenfree chicken meatballs with pesto & glutenfree penne. Loud music but great atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

4 options in the menu but all are incredibly delicious. Server was knowledgeable

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chicken meatballs are gluten free and the offer gf risotto, polenta, and mashed potatoes along with salads. Be sure to tell them no bread, I specifically said I needed gluten free and my plate came out with bread.

The server was relatively knowledgable in pointing out the gf items on the menu. He says the chicken is the only kind of gf meatball and pesto and tomato are the only gf sauces. Side options included risotto, polenta, beans, and lots of veggie sides. No sickness on my end. They also have a half off happy hour from 4-7 on weeknights- get a $4 sangria!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious meatballs and sauce. Beans are NOT the only side, you can get mashed potatoes, the different vege sides, or the salad. The chicken meatballs are delicious and filling and you can get pesto sauce, classic tomato, or spicy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very limited menu

Chicken meatball only. Pesto or tomato sauce only

Beans are the only side

The only GF option is chicken meatballs so had that. I made a big deal about my allergy. The dish arrived with bread sticking in it. I asked to confirm if the bread was GF. It wasn’t. The same server I had told about my allergy was surprised when I flagged the bread. He then had a conversation with the cook convincing him why it needed to be done over again. When it came back it was undercooked. Because I was with others did not make a drama about it. It was also quite expensive for all that. That happened over the summer but reviewing it now.

Be careful — they have farro listed as gluten free, but it is very much NOT! Also, if you order online, they sometimes have buttons for “gluten free option” or “gluten free pasta” — be aware that what you’re ordering with it (for example the chicken Parmesan, or one of the sauces I think that comes with the chicken meatballs) may not or will not be gluten free.

The pesto with chicken meatballs might be one of the best pastas I’ve ever gotten at a restaurant. The menu was very clearly labeled. They even differentiated between items that are naturally gf and ones that can be made gf. It was only +$2 for gf pasta which is very fair considering it was already $23 and the portions are huge. Our server was super knowledgeable and made sure to point out which items were and were not gf when they brought over the dessert menu. They also double checked to make sure there were no other allergies or restrictions. Cross contamination wasn’t an issue for me at all. (They also have bottomless drinks on their brunch menu which are SO worth the money). I’ll definitely be going back

I ordered for pickup. Online experience is very clear and efficient. Order was ready in 20 minutes. Can get many pasta GF and GF sides. I ordered the pesto pasta with chicken meatballs. The pasta was delicious. The meatballs were a little salty but balanced with the pasta. I’m not celiac though so I can’t comment on any cross contamination.
