I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Great option for the gluten free eaters. Good wine selection. Ordered the gluten free calamari which was the best calamari I have ever had. No joke! My picky gluten free eating son ate the calamari and loved it. He wanted more. The gluten free ravioli was also good. The next big winner was the chicken fettuccini alfredo, my daughter gave it high praise.

Gluten Free items called out on the menu including gluten free fried calamari (which my wife hasn't had in years!) Everyone I our group found a dish they loved. Windows were open for fresh air. It was a great dinner.
