Review of Tardino Brother's

My daughter is gluten and lactose intolerant. I called ahead before ordering online because my kiddo (14 yo) wanted spaghetti with meatballs — wanted to know if the meatballs had GF breadcrumbs (if any) and/or cheese in them. Turned out they had a choice of turkey and beef meatballs. Both have GF breadcrumbs added; the turkey has a little parmesan cheese (which my kiddo can tolerate and likes) but the beef only has the GF breadcrumbs. Toasted garlic bread comes with this entree as well. I had to check if it was GF (yes, some places give you regular bread with a GF meal). Yes, the bread was GF, but they use a special cheese/butter spread to make the garlic bread. Bummer. However, they were very happy to accommodate my daughter and make her garlic bread with a mixture of olive oil and garlic, instead. How outstanding is that?! The lady I spoke with at the restaurant was SO helpful! She even asked my name so that when I placed my order online, she’d be on the lookout so she’d know who needed the “special bread” (the rest of it can be tailored online). The food was excellent on top of everything! We took it To Go so I can’t say anything about their restaurant (although it looked nice from what I saw). But the food and service were exemplary! :)
