Cranelli's Italian Restaurant

This became one of my favorite places when I became Celiac. I’m not sure if the portion sizes have gone down considerably, but I wouldn’t recommmend getting food to go on a specialty occasion such as Mother’s Day, etc. The food is amazing! You can tell it’s made with love, however the portion size I received on Mother’s Day could’ve easily fed my toddler. I think they were super busy just trying to keep up on orders so the food was being portioned out scarcely. For $39 for a gluten free marinara spaghetti I expected a little more; especially in these economically tough times.

It's really tough to find a high quality italian place with allergen friendly dishes. This place nailed it out of the park. Gluten, vegan and dairy is visibly listed on the menu. Marinara does contain dairy but select dishes do allow for modification of sauce choice. Prices are shockingly good. 15-20$ a person is very doable. Service was phenomenal with managers walking around greeting guests. The patio area is gorgeous, sitting outside was really comfortable. Overall I'm really happy I came here. Only complaint if any is parking kinda sucks. Id probably run a reservation depending on the time of day.

My wife and I didn’t eat. We started with the Gluten Free Garlic “Knots”. They offer free garlic knots but you have to pay for gluten free. I’m used to this, but the knots consisted of 4 anemic strips of maybe GF pizza crust? Very disappointing. While waiting for them we looked over the menu. They do offer several gluten free options, but you cannot get the half order of anything if you choose GF and there is a 6 dollar up charge. This is absolutely ridiculous. Being GF for 17 years, I’m used to paying an up charge, but with the entrees at $26, paying and additional 20% for GF noodles I just couldn’t bring myself to pay. It is the principal plain and simple.
