My wife and I had a date night here, and with my gluten and dairy allergy I figured inbound be getting something plain like usual. But no, I had an actual MEAL that the kitchen made to suit my allergy! Including DF sorbet! The waiter James was on point in checking in and always available when we needed him. Will be coming back here when we visit Hartford again!
We ordered Hawaiian pizza and did not expect it to have pesto, which i usually love, but Sorella's pesto ruined it for the other pesto I've ever had.. like this is how pesto is SUPPOSE to taste like! Their tiramisu also!!! It melted in my mouth.. every single bite was AMAZING!!! And best of all, was my son's pizza. Vegan gluten-free White pizza. He didn't even want a plate! He insisted on eating out of the box! I had a taste of his crust because I thought it looked a bit burnt. Omg! It was delicious.. I'm so happy to find this restaurant and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Very AUTHENTIC!!!
Normally, I love First and Last, been coming here for years...but tonight they were off their game. Pizza was a little on the oily side, our first server tried to rush us a bit since she was close to the end of her shift, and then the second server did not know the importance of keeping gluten free crust separate from regular pizza. It upset one of our friends who then couldn't eat due to cross-contamination of gluten products.
Again, for years the original location is the only one I would go to, and the one I'd take friends to as a way to show them how great Hartford is. This was a tough one, and I do hope some adjustments are made to make this the happy bustling place I expect it to be.
Absolutely terrified.. called in to ask if the osso bucco is gluten free. The girl who answered the phone said she checked with the chef and they said it's not gluten free but they use light flour so it wouldn't affect someone who is gluten-free. I'm sorry, but you are not a qualified chef if that's how you handle food allergies.. I let the girl know that she should be careful saying that to people because they could get in trouble for it, let alone the chef saying that. Makes absolutely no sense..
