Colapasta Restaurant

went with some friends, one of them has a very severe gluten allery - as in, going-into-anaphylaxis type of severe. friend called ahead of time to ask if they have gluten-free options, as well as to specify whether they would cook the food separately to avoid cross-contamination. also specified the same details when ordering our food. when our pasta arrived, friend took 2 bites of their dish before starting to feel their throat swell up, and had to use their emergency inhaler twice. we suspect that there was some cross-contamination involved (perhaps the cookware wasn't sanitized properly?) even though we were assured that my friend's food would be cooked separately from other dishes. had high expectations for this place after tasting the food, but i feel like if an establishment so readily offers allergen-free options and claims there will not be any cross-contamination, they must hold themselves to a higher standard. if my friend wasn't careful and ate more, we'd be on our way to the hospital right now.

The best with gluten-free pasta!
