il Canale

The pasta was very good — not the best Italian food I’ve had but tasty for sure. My friend who’s gluten free really enjoyed the gluten free pasta as well. The service however was lacking, the server did not check on us nearly enough & we had to repeatedly make eye contact to have him come over to refill our waters (it’s in the 90s outside & probably around 70-75 in the restaurant). We also were not checked on when our food arrived & when he finally did check on us (after 10 minutes & me making eye contact), our request for parmesan was met with a shaker (which is fine & not on him, but maybe something the restaurant should consider improving upon). I’ve worked in the restaurant industry before & I understand busy nights where service maybe be less responsive. However, he paid significantly more attention to other tables in his section (which appeared to only 6 tables total, & only 4 were sat for over half our meal). I’m not sure of the reasoning — my friend & I are younger women in our 20s so maybe he assumed we wouldn’t tip well? Which fine, but also we both ordered drinks & generally tip 30%. Very disappointing & may not come again. Food wasn’t good enough to justify the poor service.

Absolutely delicious food! They have incredible gluten free pizza which is hard to find. Amazing service! Erind took care of us and he was so attentive to our needs, careful making sure our food was gluten free, and very friendly. I cannot recommend this place more!

Did take out from here after searching for gluten free pizza on Google maps. Great gluten free! Really appreciate they stamp the box with “gluten free” — it is so fluffy it is suspicious as someone who’s been GF for 20 years. I wouldn’t really call the focaccia “focaccia” like I’ve had in other cities- but their gluten free crust with some herbs. Not bad but just not what was expected- but there were no pictures on door dash to know what to expect
