Maurizio Barca Italian Restaurant (Fresh Pasta, Pizza, Wine and Cocktails)

Do not try to eat here if you are gluten intolerant or celiac. I am the former and there were almost zero options on the menu: no gf pasta or pizza. Just 1 chicken dish and 2 fish. Very disappointing in this day and age! My pounded chicken dish was over priced and came with the worst seasonal salad ever: a handful of green leaves and literally one plumb tomato cut into two. That was it! The chicken was very nice and fortunately I added chips as a side or I would have starved. On the positive side, as a group of 4 we were pleased to be able to get in without booking after the Queen's club tennis. It was very busy, however, and the service was somewhat poor due to that.

I used to love this place and brought here any friends that came to town. However, today the menu had changed and gluten free options are no longer available. They offered seafood but those were the most expensive dishes in the menu and not within the price range I had budgeted for. I really hope they bring those dishes back soon.

We arrived after a few days of traveling, a group of 6 without a reservation. We were quickly accommodated and received exceptional service. With someone at our table having a gluten allergy, we started with delicious gluten-free focaccia bread before thoroughly enjoying our shrimp and crab ravioli, margarita pizza, and a side of pork with potatoes. We also sampled several desserts and paired our meal with a fantastic Chianti. The staff was great and the food was excellent!
