There is a severe lack of gluten free items on the menu and even when I get salad without croutons they usually have them in there anyway. Last time I told they waitress there waas croutons in my salad and she took it back, picked them out and gave me the same salad. Not good!

Poor GF menu choices and nothing you couldn't do at home that would probably taste a whole lot better - beware of croutons on the salads (ask for without)

Terrible gluten free menu. Barely any choices, and the ones you get are lacking in flavor. The staff is never knowledgeable about their gluten free menu. I have tried it a few times because my family loves the restaurant and they can eat gluten. I hate going there!

I only trust eating the salad here and a chicken breast. My son gets the gf pasta and it's pretty good.

Gluten free pasta was way over cooked. Sauce was good but gooey pasta ruined the dish.

I've gone several times and I have gotten sick every single time. The staff doesn't understand cross contamination for celiac. Besides that the food isn't very good the pasta is always undercooked and I always find crunchy pieces.

This is a go to spot. The Zappa soup is perfect. Salad is always nice. I do recommend checking the salad before eating something there is a crouton hiding. I unfortunately will feel that tiny cross contamination.

Review


The server took our allergies (wheat, dairy, soy protein) very seriously. The kitchen manager came to the table without us asking him to and they made everything perfect. They also have a tablet you can search each item for allergies. Highly recommend! We ordered the gluten free rotini with meat sauce, an Italian sausage, and broccoli.
