Top 5 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Marco Island

Breakfast lunch or dinner do not even hesitate a while. The abandon of gluten-free options available on the menu makes you lose your mind for all the items. And they are not only on the menu, but they also have them in reality, and they are so amazingly good and tasty that we made it twice to that place. Once we made it for breakfast to have the gluten-free pancakes and French toast, and the second time we made it to lunch to have a gluten-free pizza with cauliflower crust. Both times it was a feast, fresh, very well prepared, very yummy, and confirmed that is gluten-free. If you're a vegetarian, also can you wanna introduce some changes to the menu? They are totally open to that and patient to your picks, because this is exactly what we did when choosing our breakfast menu as a combo with those pancakes and French toast, they were totally OK with us excluding meat from combo.

The pizza was so light, fresh, and simply delicious! I ordered the Tre Formaggi with gluten-free crust. One of the tastiest gluten-free crusts I’ve ever tasted and the taste of the pizza was just memorable. I dreamt about it in my sleep. If you ever want to have the carb pleasure without the guilt, have pizza here at DaVinci’s.

So we chose this place for birthday celebration, and It was a very good choice. We were very well taken care of served with our gluten-free options as well as vegetarian options. Food extremely fresh, very good quality, well served, and meticulously prepared. Overall dining experience and the taste of food made us feel extremely special. You can tell that those meals were prepared and designed by a highly skilled team of professionals to whom we are grateful and thankful for making that day so special to us. Special thanks to our waiter George from Romania who made that dinner very pleasant experience also by adding proper martini and wine to go along with the food and was taking such a good care of us.

Really disappointed to be writing this review after being a loyal customer of this restaurant for years on our annual trip to Marco Island. To begin, we were seated 20+ minutes after our reservation. Why offer reservations if they mean nothing? The ambiance is overwhelming - the live music is far too loud and honestly, painful to listen to. When it came time to order, we requested to place for food and drinks all at once due to the significant wait we already had for our delayed “reservation”. We asked for lemon wedges for the table in addition to our beers; please note: this restaurant does not have a liquor license so options are limited. The server brought literally 3 slices of lemon for a table of 5 - how generous! We ordered 3 chicken piccata dishes (one gluten free) and 1 chicken parmesan. The gluten free is a $6.50 up charge, which is the highest I’ve ever seen for an allergy accommodation. As I mentioned, we come here annually and it has always included 2 chicken breasts per dish. Apparently shrinkflarion has really gotten Davide as it came with one minuscule chicken breast each. The chicken parmesan was cold. At this point, we had been over an hour since we had ordered and were starving with a dog to get home to. As such, we just ate the cold food. We said nothing and asked for our bill, just wanting to get out of there. The owner stopped by as we were waiting for the checks to return and asked how everything was. A member of our party said “slow and cold but besides that fine.” The owner suddenly became aggressive and defensive, asking why are we just now complaining? In response, we corrected him that we were not complaining, he asked. He stormed away and sarcastically told us to have a good night. We finished up the checks and departed for our vehicle in the parking lot. The owner followed us into the parking lot and told us to never return to the restaurant. For what? Telling you the hard truth about the poor experience at your restaurant? Feedback, unfortunately, is not always positive but as an owner, or just a human in general, you need to learn how to be receptive to it and respectful when receiving it. Perhaps the owners Napoleon complex is getting in the way. Dine elsewhere where you will be a respected patron with warm, timely food.
