Gluten-Free at BRAVO! Cucina Italiana

The menu was clearly marked with what can be made gluten free- but the waitress said they are getting updated menus soon as they have more available. They were very accommodating.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. DON'T TRUST THEM. NO GLUTEN FREE PASTA!

We went specifically because our daughter (celiac) wanted pasta. The server, and then the manager, confirmed that they cook the gluten-free pasta in the same water as the traditional pasta! Crazy but true. The manager then rudely and defiantly fed us some b.s. that the water temp keeps the pasta gluten free and they did not have room for a pot of dedicated water. Smaller restaurants are capable of doing it, why not them? "Gluten transfers to gluten-free pasta when cooked in shared pasta cooking water." - ScienceDirect

I ate there last evening. They did not have a gf menu, but a few items were marked that they could prepare gf. I chose the shrimp scampi. It was prepared with gf rotini, the only gf pasta they had. It was delicious. The dish came out with 2 pieces of non-gf garlic crostini. If you're concerned about cross contamination, I'd avoid this place. The only dessert they had that could be prepared gf was vanilla Gelato!

AWFUL! I got the chopped salad which I was told would be gluten free. Not only did I find a bug in my food but had an awful stomach ache after. the staff and chef were rude as well. Quality has gone down tremendously lately.

If I could give it a 0, I would, but I can't, so I give it a 1. They forgot to even give me my food after over an hour of waiting as the rest of my table ate :( the pasta is bland and worse than some of the box pastas I buy from the store. Could not accommodate for an egg allergy and made us pay $8 for lettuce and Parmesan cheese.

Server and service was fantastic but this place is not celiac friendly. Items on the menu that can be made gluten free are marked. I requested the Fra Diavolo pasta as it is marked that it can be made gluten free but asked to double check with the chef. The chef mentioned that the dish could not be made gluten free as it contains some Alfredo sauce that has flour in it. So use caution even when ordering menu items marked gluten free. I then went with the Caesar salad as I was assured it’s safe but there ended up being cross contamination as I was sick within a hour.

They have a gluten free noodle option and the types of pasta that can be made gluten free are marked on the menu. There are also a couple of non pasta dishes that are gluten free (filet mignon, NY strip, pork chops, salmon salad, caprese salad).

It is made clear on the menu that they are only gluten friendly and cannot guarantee that these items are completely safe.

Dec 10, 2022. Stopped for a quick lunch. Menu is very limited and our server did not give me any confidence when I was ordering. I reluctantly ordered because we needed to eat and be somewhere fast. I ate a grilled salmon salad. Dressing was supposed to be on side, but wasn't. Meal was fine and I didn't get sick, but the experience was not a good one.

The menu states to let server know and that food is prepared In shared spaces. Went with a big crowd, ordered shrimp/ GF pasta. Not super tasty and definitely had a problem. Kind of knew it walking in…… It is a popular place if you don’t have GF issues….

Gluten friendly but absolutely not celiac friendly. There is an extremely high risk of cross contamination as I found out after eating my food. Besides from that, their food is not great.

Placed an order for gluten free pizza and when we drove all the way over to pick it up, we were told they don’t offer it anymore!

Maybe change the online menu so people don’t waste their time driving out for gluten free food? And also alert the person on the phone that you don’t offer gluten free food.

Items marked GF on menu. I ordered the grilled salmon, along with my another member of my party. They brought the dishes and I asked before eating if I had the GF dish. The server said yes. About 5 minutes into our meal, the server and manager came over to our table and informed me I’d been given the wrong plate. The sweet potatoes seasoning was not GF. Was sick for 10 days. I gave this restaurant another try last night. I thought it would be safe to order same meal since I knew what to look for. Plate came out correctly, however I’m sick again this morning. Not confident with cross contamination here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience here! Not only was the food delicious but my server, Teresa, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about Celiac and ensured me she and everyone in the kitchen would take every precaution to ensure I did not get sick. I had the Gluten Free Pasta Woozie and it was amazing! I definitely would recommend this place; I will be coming back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very limited GF options. Do have GF pasta. Food was okay, but very bland.

Great food. I didn't get sick and am very sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the Pasta Woozie! It wasn’t soaked in Alfredo sauce - just enough. They could make most of the pasta dishes gluten free. Waiter was very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pasta made separate. I have eaten here a few times and have not gotten sick. Lots of calories, but no gluten problems

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I started going here based on the reviews on this app and input from the local Celiac support group. I've gone twice. The first time was great. The female server was very thoughtful and careful. We got our food and didn't have any Celiac reactions. The second time we went, the server was flippant about it and even brought a salad with gluten containing croutons despite telling us that it was gluten free. I actually ate two bites before I saw the croutons underneath the lettuce. We had been very clear to the him about the seriousness of our condition. He comped the salad but that doesn't matter if i get sick. I will call the manager. I will note that the food is not great. It's not bad but not great.

Celiac friendly?

No

May 29, 2019- Ate dinner of Salmon salad. same menu as other Bravo restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was so good and new what to do never go sick

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Restaurant closed last year - 2018

No dedicated menu in restaurant. I did find one online. Staff had minimal knowledge on GF. Ordered pasta woozie GF and my friend had regular pasta wookie. They gave me an identical plate as my friend. The staff was apologetic and switched out my dish. Thankful I pointed out the noodles matched. Not sure if the sauce is gf. I did have a mild reaction. Won't go again

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. As soon as I told my waiter that I had Celiac, he took note and assured me that the gluten free pasta was prepared separately. I ordered the Pasta Bravo, and after my order was placed, the waiter came back and informed me he talked to the chef too. My food came out by the manager, and was very good. When it came to dessert, I asked if there were any options since the menu listed none. The waiter went and checked, and the Creme Brulee was actually gf - it was amazing. All in all, great experience, and no adverse reactions. I'll definitely dine here again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress was so nice and very knowledgeable about gluten allergies. I had the filet Mignon with green beans and asparagus...it was delicious! I will definitely return soon!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not safe they got our order wrong twice and said the pasta was gluten free and it was not. So they either have no idea or don’t care and put me daughter at risk so waste of money and time and not safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

It’s easy to tell their gluten free pasta apart because it’s spirals. I ended up with part of a regular fettuccini noodle in my gluten free pasta :-/ the manager assured me he’d talk to the kitchen staff about it but I was very disappointed because I have previously had very good experiences at other Brio and Bravo restaurants

Celiac friendly?

No

They have changed their menu. Only a few pasta dishes and steak or salmon. I ordered a pasta dish but the waiter realized it was not gf noodles. They made the dish again but it wasn’t anything great. I didn’t get sick but it will be awhile before I go back.

I had lunch with a friend at Bravo! and enjoyed the food. I would recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Me and my grandmother both order a gluten free pasta. The cooks messed it up the first time but before even bringing the food out they corrected it. And they gave us a free salad and free dessert. It was delicious and a little high but worth it!!!!

10-15-2018. Several GF menu options. I had the grilled salmon salad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly staff. Excellent salmon salad. Have celiac and did not get ill.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had one of the worst meals eating out here. My dinner took over an hour to be served. I ordered my steak medium and it was rare. My mashed potatoes were gummy. I didn't get sick, however, I will never go back to this location. Not sure if celiac friendly.

I ate at this location on August 23rd, 2018. Their menu has several items which are clearly marked 'GF' including gluten-free pastas which they prepare in a separate area from all other pastas. I had a salmon salad and found it to be really tasty and did not get sick. My one complaint was that I wish they actually offered a separate gluten free menu so that I wouldn't have to see all their other pasta dishes that I can't eat. :-(

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My wife has been a celiac for 14 years. She is very careful and rarely has a reaction. She recently ate at this Bravo location and was violently sick for 3 days. She was obviously served wheat pasta instead of GF pasta. Do not trust the staff at this location. By far the worst reaction she has ever had eating at a restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was glutened on friday July 20th. Would not suggest. Definitely not safe!

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was very knowledgeable and offered gluten free options. Everything tasted amazing.

The risotto was very good, many GF options, including lobster Mac & cheese. Overall we liked it. However...Prices were a bit high for the portion sizes. Service was S-L-O-W...we were there nearly two hours for a one course meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I did not feel our waiter took my request seriously. I called the manager to our table and she personally checked on the order and gave us a complimentary dessert.

They did a nice job.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gf menu however limited options. 3 pastas, salads and steak.
