We had a super nice server and they were more than willing to double check with the kitchen on things for me. My food was so so. The salad was great but the alfredo sauce was very bland. My husband, who isn't gluten free, said his gluten filled meal was really good. So maybe I just got the wrong dish. They did say the only penne pasta they serve is gluten free so be aware of that as a double check. No ill effects afterwards, just not a fan of my meal.

The food was okay. A bit overpriced for what it is. There is a GF menu and the staff appear to be knowledgable. However, they are pretentious and would prefer you to just shut up,eat and go. Which is the wrong attitude when the average dish is 20.00 for a plate of pasta. If it were homeade, that would be one thing. But its not... While I was greatful they had GF options, the service was awful. I don't think I will ne returning.

I have eaten here twice in the past month, there is only one item indicated it is gluten free, a Flatbread Primavera (they also offer gluten free noodles but none of their sauces are listed as gluten free) Today when I ordered the Primavera they fried the Spinach on top of it in a shared fryer and I only found out after I took a bite. Just be careful eating here.

The gluten free pasta is gluten free penne but definitely recommended. It’s not dry like some store bought pasta

I’ve eaten here numerous times. Lots of good options. Items are marked and most waitstaff knowledgeable about what they can serve/modify. The food is tasty and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. They’ve even served the pasta dishes over risotto for me before since I’m not a big fan of gluten-free pasta. I’ve not gotten sick here from cross contamination.

I have been to this restaurant twice and enjoyed spaghetti bolognese with gluten free noodles and have had no issues. They have other gf options including a chocolate lava cake that is delicious. The staff is very helpful and willing to listen to your needs. It has been hard for me to find Italian food other than gf pizzas so this restaurant I highly recommend.

I could have eaten 6 of the crème brûlée! Their pasta is delish and they will make it with almost all sauces!
