Great experience at Pizzeria Uno. Medium deep dish easily feeds 2 people. Numero Uno pizza was delicious. All the toppings were cooked perfectly and were so fresh. We ordered bbq chicken pizza with gluten free crust and the gluten free crust is thinner than the regular deep dish.

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Beautiful Italian restaurant. They offer courses, so take your time and enjoy the food. They have delicious gluten-free options. I would absolutely dine with them again. It's an elegant yet family-friendly atmosphere. And I really appreciate that they didn't rush us out when we finished our meal, and let us wait for our Uber at the table.

My sister has celiac and hasn’t had fried chicken in over 20 years. She ordered it and was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The executive chef came to our table to ask how the meal was for her. The manager spoke with us and was very friendly attentive. She sent us a gluten free dessert to enjoy. This was one of the most enjoyable meals and experience we have ever had. The staff are exceptional.

This is a beautiful coffee shop and I’m happy we got to stop in but my only issue is, is that I assumed I would get more help with knowing my options for gluten free drinks. I had email them prior and they told me I’d be able to get help once I was there so that was my plan but once I got up there and asked if the coffee I wanted was gluten free she wasn’t sure so she went and asked when she came back to me she said it wasn’t. So then I asked her if she could tell me what my options were and then she had to ask them again which they told me I could only get a drink with milk, honey and espresso. They were super busy and I was very rushed. The drink was good but I was expecting a much better experience especially when I was told I’d have options. They do have gluten free bakery options but I didn’t get any of those and they do share a case with all the other items so keep that in mind. Lovely coffee shop just probably isn’t the best option for someone with a gluten allergy.

Clean seating areas, clean bathrooms. Food is amazing as always. As a celiac, I love that I can get a gluten free bun. I've never gotten sick eating here (gluten wise). Coming from MN this is a must stop!

Food was really good and the space was well decorated but the service could have been better. I wanted to try some of their desserts but needed to make sure they were vegetarian. After a long arduous debate with two servers who I had to argue with that vegetarian options are not the same as vegan or gluten free, I was initially told the desserts I wanted had gelatin. When I asked to speak to the chef to confirm, after initially resisting they called the chef who informed them that all desserts were vegetarian. I would expect the restaurant to know the difference between something like this or to confirm from the chef straight away.

It was a perfect meal, I just needed to start with that. After all these years of traveling around the world and having experienced some of the best (and worst) food out there, this is on my top 10 for pastas, hands down. If I could, I would give Torchio 10 stars. We have tried pastas from many Italian joints in the US and overseas, including some of our unforgettable experiences in Italy, we know well that underneath all of that simplicity lies much love in those dishes. Handmade pasta requires dialy efforts from 5am, this is when everything starts. The rest takes fresh ingredients and balance in flavors, but what stands out a pasta dish is always the sauce, everything we have tasted was perfect, from the basic marinara sauce to the meat sauces. The handmade pastas were definitely one of the best we have tried, the texture, consistency and the perfect balance between soft and chew...yummmm. I feel bad for the non-gluten eaters, and people who think the food here is over priced. When was the last time you had a perfect Gnocchi an inch in diameter and in length. We are glad to have found this place after it opened in 2019, and seriously we will start coming here at least once a week and try everything on the menu. Thanks Bill!
