I think people need to temper their expectations with the fact you're in basically rural Oregon. This isn't a city, it's definitely a small town.
I came here after finding it on the Find Me Gluten Free app. I came here because I have Celiac disease and read the owner of someone related to the owner is also a Celiac.
Ambiance is definitely Italian restaurant in small town America. It's at the end of a strip mall near the Albertsons market.
My menu was a printed paper that had gotten wet and then dried so the ink for the drink menu was smeared.
Waitress was nice. She let me know that the fried foods and the desserts were gluten-free. I was disappointed to find out that making the food gluten-free is an undisclosed upcharge and that there wasn't any gluten-free bread.
I got the appetizer of fried mushrooms for $15 which I felt was a bit much for button mushrooms rather than a fancier fungi.
I had the $24 gluten-free chicken parmesan and while it was fine, I think I'd go with something else next time.
My husband got the regular pasta and ordered the $23 carbonara, not even looking at his menu. That was a mistake because their carbonara is a mushroom cream dish and my husband hates mushrooms. "Carbonara" is a specific dish - cured pork, eggs, hard cheese and salt and pepper. Imagine ordering bolognese and it being full of mushrooms as the default. It's odd.
My husband ordered wine and I got an Italian soda in guava flavor. Usually I'm sucking down 4-5 glasses of water but the water here was the local tap water which has a strong mineral taste.
Overall, the meal was okay but I was a bit disappointed as a Celiac.
