this is my second visit there and everything was just as delicious as it was the first time. The service is impeccable. Drinks are creative and well crafted. Lots of gluten free options and Bespoke small plates worth checking out. Definitely try the Fried Mozz!
Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.
I have celiac disease and our waiter Josh was very helpful, and patient, when it came to helping me find out what was gf. The food was absolutely amazing 10/10 experience definitely going back!
I had the gluten free butternut squash ravioli on Saturday and spent the following 24 hours fighting for my life from food poisoning. I see most reviews are stellar but a few have mentioned cleanliness. At a time when recalls and food borne illnesses are at a high it’s really important to be extra vigilant with food safety.
Sells gluten free pizza and bread based on my reaction this morning I assume they cook it all in the same ovens or just simple mishandle the product in the kitchen. Not great if you can’t eat gluten avoid here.
Prices are high and taste is boring wish I had my $75 bucks back on this one
Ordered sheet pizzas for my son’s birthday and not only did they deliver at time discussed but the pizza was excellent. Gluten free was amazing as well! Would recommend
They use stainless steel scrub brushes to clean their meat. I know this because I choked on a piece while eating the meat. 🤮
* Celiacs be warned * The waitress said this meal could be made GF. I think the cook was mad because I ordered it to be made GF. The GF pasta was raw. I ordered the short rib ragu and the meat was not shredded into a ragu. I had to do it manually. So many things wrong with the dish. This was no mistake. I will NEVER go back and will let all friends and family know to stay away.
Great spot for great eats!!! My family and I enjoyed a burrito bowl, some tacos, and a gordita. All was great. My wife has a gluten intolerance and was happy to find many options available to her. If you like it spicy, just ask. Try the pickled beets, earthy, sweet. and just the right amount of "kick". They are also a BYOB facility with a package store a few steps away
We took a chance on this place despite the old reviews here. We were pleasantly surprised that they were able to accommodate our need for gluten-free, even on a super-busy morning. We first asked the hostess, who said they could certainly work with us and cook my daughter's meal on a separate frying pan. They do have gluten-free bread, but not a gluten-free toaster, but were able to grill her toast on the same frying pan. It did seem that they don't usually have requests for gluten-free. The waitress had to go to the kitchen and ask, after we had already sat down. The owner came over and really worked with us, saying that one of the kitchen staff also has celiac and is able to avoid cross-contamination. He checked in on us several times, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Great breakfast, great experience and so far, no adverse reactions, so all good!
Truly a superb dining experience! Food quality, presentation, service and atmosphere are absolutely stellar. As good as any fine dining establishment I have experienced in New York City. Truly gourmet. My son and I have multiple food allergies to gluten and dairy- and they accommodated us with no problem. (And on a holiday no less!) The owner was a lovely woman who explained to me that they are a scratch kitchen and can accommodate easily. Instead of bread they brought us plantains and chimichuri sauce. My son and I had rack of lamb perfectly seasoned with delicious vegetables and an allergen free demi glaze made special. My son had octopus and I a delicious salad as appetizers modified to our needs. The meal was leisurely and the staff was attentive concerned that the meal was made to our satisfaction. My husband had the duck and calamari which they modified for his dietary needs (he is diabetic) and he raved about the delicate melt in your mouth flavors. We did not sample them but they offer gf empanadas too. (2 kinds) Do yourself a favor, when you are in the vicinity in East Lyme CT, stop in to Rossa Negra. You will not be disappointed, this is a top notch establishment.

Absolutely the worst service I've ever received. I just wanted a gluten free pizza for my birthday and the server did not acknowledge me. She acknowledged people who came in after me and opted to serve other people without even asking us for our order. The worst service. And by the looks of everybody in there as an African American woman I assume she has a problem with me because she did not acknowledge me at all I will never be back there ever again. this is the worst I've ever felt in this community. Happy birthday me 😔
We ordered 4 combo meals and 2 other meals but they were still ready in the promised 20 minutes. One meal was required to be "gluten free" and it was handled without issue. Friendly employees. The storefront and counter were neat and clean.
I would give 10 stars if that was an option. They were so warm and welcoming!! Our waitress was exceptional! My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and eating out is challenging. She had family with the same disease and was so knowledgeable and helpful when we ordered. She even brought my husband a gluten free brownie and asked her mom about a good gluten free bread. Kudos 👏 💐 And last but not least, the pizza was delicious. Hot and so cheesy!!
Celiac friendly
