NICO & VALI Italian Eatery

We came here for the first time this week as we heard great things about it. We were seated shortly after we entered, and we were the only ones there. It wasn’t quite lunchtime. Service was great until they got Busier. I requested a gluten-free menu which I was given, and I placed my order when we received our meal. I confirmed it was gluten-free With the waiter. It was NOT! The food was amazing and I should’ve known at that point that it was not gluten-free because of how good it was! I called a few hours later as it didn’t take long for me to start feeling symptoms and was told that the waiter was new and probably didn’t enter it incorrectly even after I confirmed with him I don’t wanna blame the waiter because he was new… I asked to speak to a manager there was no one available. I’m not looking for any type of compensation. I just wanted to mention the fact of how sick I already was and now I’m on day three of being ill and that maybe more education is needed in regards to gluten-free meals. I would love to try this place again, but I’m just not sure I can trust eating here.

We were a party of seven, celebrating a graduation. The food was excellent, with a varied enough menu to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions in our group (vegetarian, gluten-free, non-dairy). There were also some good wine and cocktail options. Service was fine, not exceptional. It would have been nice if they had acknowledged our graduate, as I had included the occasion on the reservation notes. Places aren't obligated to do anything special, but it always makes a positive impression when they do.
