We weren’t sure if we should visit Tello based on some conflicting reviews, but we are so glad we tried it! The food was great and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free items for me. My husband had the lasagna and the tiramisu. The tiramisu was huge! I had - glass of red wine, the gluten free bolognese, and raspberry & white chocolate gelato. All amazing. We will come back frequently!

They have limited seating, so be prepared to wait, but the wait wasn't too long. Once we were seated, our server was attentive and brought our drinks and food quickly and accurately. I ordered a gluten-free salad instead of a wrap and my companion had a poke bowl. The dishes were light, fresh, and delicious - just the right amount for lunch. The prices were reasonable considering the quality and location.

Tried ordering takeout from here as we were passing through town, phone rang endlessly without answer and could not order online. Once arriving to order in person, it was no longer surprising that no one was answering the phone as the staff were young and in all honesty seemed…. not sober. We placed our order and waited the 15 mins they told us, upon returning they had forgotten our meatball sub in the oven and it was too burned to serve, so we waited for a replacement. That sandwich and the gluten free pizza were decent, but we were laughing at the service.
