Caffe Buongiorno - Norwood

WARNING FOR FOOD ALLERGIES!! Was there for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of people. Would not recommend if you have food allergies as they were dismissive, rude and uneducated. Was told by a staff member that she could not speak to the Chef regarding an allergy order and a gluten free order as he would get mad! WHAT?!!!!! This kind of service is completely unacceptable and if I was there with just my girlfriend we would have walked out. Our order was for 2 bowls of gluten free pasta, one came out but the other never made it to the table, then we were told they had run out. So we had to reorder one meal when everyone else was eating. Needless to say I will not be back. The caffe was overbooked and overcrowded like a train station with people coming and going. In fact, the staff could not hear what you were saying because of the noise level. The food wasn't great and the service was average. Tip., go somewhere where you are treated with respect.

We've been coming to Caffe Buongiorno Norwood at least monthly (sometimes weekly) for about 10 years. It's always fantastic, and the gluten-free options are great. I'm coeliac and never have a reaction. They are also easily able to alter menu items to make them vegetarian (although there are also lots of vege options already!). Definitely recommend for a filling and friendly meal!
