Bravo! Italian Kitchen

I have lots of food allergies. 80% of their menu you can order gluten free. The gluten free salmon salad I ordered was delicious!

Okay so I'll get right to the point...I stopped by here for lunch with my family and unfortunately life has dealt me the hand of annoying food allergies. Trust me, I hate it too. And I hate going out to eat because waiters always get so annoyed and I never know if I'll go home sick. Well my worst nightmare came true on a recent visit to Bravo and despite having an allergy card that I carry with me to help staff with my food allergies (one of which means I eat gluten free pasta) and the friendly waitress.... They served me a dish with regular pasta. I took one bite and was sure of it. I asked the waitress, who sent over a manager, and sure enough they sent the dish out with egg noodles... Which use wheat flour as a combining agent (as most pasta do). I went from starving to terrified. I had to cancel my plans for the rest of the day and take Benadryl immediately. They comped my meal and sent me home with a replacement since i was no longer hungry (my appetite was fully gone at this point). And unfortunately when I decided to eat the replacement pasta (which i honestly considered skipping) there wasn't any sauce in it. I was so confused. Needless to say i won't be back here again, which is fine. But at this point I can't tolerate when restaurants make an error like this and say "we're human we make mistakes" or "it was an accident"....because my life is on the line and i am also a human. Food allergies should be taken seriously.

If you are a pasta place and serve gluten free pasta you need to make sure that when people order gluten free they receive gluten free pasta. We went to dinner and I asked for a gluten free menu as soon as we sat down. And again when we ordered my gf ordered shrimp scampi gluten free. Well, after we ate, it became apparent that she got glutened and was sick for days over it. This is not acceptable and we will never return again. She has celiac and cannot tolerate gluten at all.
