Dolci Cafe Italiano

2650 County Hwy S17, El Cajon, CA 92019, USA
Exploring and craving Italian food, I came across this location which has great reviews. Upon arrival plenty of parking , mid day place was empty with no wait time. Place is nice and clean and open with outside and indoor dining, I liked their gluten free options but disappointed because no bread is available to order during lunch hours only dinner and I love to enjoy my pasta with bread. I ordered the penne Michelangelo gluten free pasta, sauce was bland little oily and the pasta was cooked well. The order of the fettuccine cartoccio had several sea food, sauce also oily and the calamari was inconsistent with some under or overcooked. Lastly was the grande lasagna bolognese and it was overstuffed with ricotta cheese overpowering everything and a little oily as well. Not sure if its a place I would come back to but was disappointed with the oily, bland sauces and the no bread with pasta.

A hidden gem with a chill vibe, known for its enjoyable atmosphere and a must-try Peach Iced Tea that keeps patrons coming back.
It’s not on the menu but they usually have Gluten Free bread for sandwiches, toast, and French Toast, plus GF waffles. Great service and Get the Peach Iced Tea! 😍

My favorite Broken Yolk by far .... staff is always friendly and attentive, not to mention the great food including their gluten free pancakes ! I enjoyed the Green Chilaquiles and eggs this morning. Yummy 😋
Denny's
Gluten-free options
13584 Camino Canada, El Cajon, CA 92021, USA
We were seated at a dirty table. Restaurant cleanliness, wait staff service and food safety are substandard as usual. It's like a Denny's standard to be this bad nation wide.There are no gluten free options because everything is cross contaminated. My mouth is swollen and I'm hacking up phlegm. Asked for decaf and it smelled sour. We asked for separate checks, didn't get it. Asked for crispy hashbrowns, didn't get it. Every trip to Dennys reminds me why I don't eat here and neither should you.
