The restaurant staff is very friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is delicious. We will definitely be back again. Especially since they are safe for celiacs. We recommend them!
Rick's place is an absolute gem!
We recently visited and had the most amazing night!
The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements.
We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion.
Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all.
Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough!
Looking forward to our next visit!
Perfect place for all gluten free people and their friends. Food is amazing and even coeliac friendly. Suitable for everyday meal or special occasion. We vere very happy to decide to have our special dinner here.
Total ripoff trying to charge $6 for a different type of flour. This is unjustifiable. You don't prey on people with a 25% fee because they're born allergic to gluten. It tastes worse, never has a good texture and you want people to pay more for the suffering? No thanks.

Great place in ballarat for anything you want . Also have quite a few things gluten free on the menu. Wonderful place having a meal looking over the lake.
I was walking past and the staff assured me they could do gluten and dairy-free. Then pointed out the suitable options on the menu. I had the Paella, they confirmed it would be safe for me and it was delicious.
Booked a table for 3 on 22/09/24 based off the recommendation from Atly. This trip to Melbourne had been amazing so far, but unfortunately despite letting the wait staff know I was GF, I had a reaction here. Was quite sad given the feedback from other users, and the food tasted really nice. Not sure what it was, but it was (barramundi, gf bread and olives, gf marg pizza), but something got me good
We recently held my father’s wake at The Victoria Hotel in Woodend, with close to 400 people in attendance, and I cannot thank Emily and Tash enough. They are, hands down, one of the most amazing and supportive teams I’ve ever come across. Everything ran so smoothly—from the service to the atmosphere—but what truly stood out was the care and attention they gave to our family.
They made sure we were eating, had a drink in hand, and never once let the scale of the event affect the warmth and personal attention they offered. A special thank you for the thoughtful care shown to me as a coeliac—it meant so much.
We’ve had countless comments from guests about how beautiful the venue and service were. Thank you again, Emily and Tash—you helped us honour Dad in the most wonderful way. Highly recommend.

Had a glorious long weekend lunch here, staff all very well informed on coeliac/cross contamination and most options can be made coeliac friendly. The Totti’s bread is famous and the GF is fabulous.
Worst pizzas we have had in a long long time. $41 for a gluten free ‘Gourmet’ takeaway pizza that was bland and tasted like cardboard is appalling.
Chips (which weren’t included with our burger, cost an extra $7.50) were cold.
Carbonara was brown and tasted like beef stock.
Also paid $34 for a lamb pizza that tasted very strongly of fish and salty olives which made it inedible.
Spent over $200 to feed 5 people for a takeaway meal is an absolute ripoff especially for the quality of the meal.
Senior staff (owners?) being condescending to the younger staff in front of customers is also disappointing.
Upon discussing with others in the local area, we have heard similar reviews particularly about the treatment of the staff which is unfortunate.
Will not be coming back.
I’m coeliac and their gluten free options were so fab. Really kind staff! They have a seperate fryer. I got salt and pepper calamari and chips and it was yummmm 💝
I discovered Pasta Forna on a gluten free Facebook group and I'm so glad I did, I havent been able to enjoy lasagne this good since I was diagnosed Coeliac (and arguably ever??). Even my non-coeliac friends and family love the gluten free pasta (i havent tried the normal wheat pasta but if the gluten free pasta is anything to go by it would also be amazing). Full of flavour and the balance of ingredients and texture is spot on, not mushy like a supermarket lasagne. It's very easy to order online, and Aime provides wonderful service, she treats you like an old friend. I've had the lasagne for dinner parties and all I need to do is follow the instructions to heat the the oven. So easy when entertaining.
