Ristorante Barbatti

Absolutely wrong!! We had dinner with our 2 children. Our daughter has celiac disease, so we got gluten-free fries from McDonald beforehand. My wife and I ordered from the menu. A short time later the service manager came and said the little one wasn't allowed to eat fries here: We had to order the food here. We explained that our daughter has celiac disease. He insisted. Just left the restaurant without eating. This behavior is absolutely wrong, especially when it comes to a 5 year old child with allergies. The restaurant was mainly concerned with us consuming more instead of acting wisely. Abroad, things are much more relaxed when it comes to dealing with children!

Found this place after doing my intro walking tour of Luzern for a late lunch. The beautiful individualized chandeliers and old polished wood signaled I was in for a treat. There were large Italian-speaking families gathered about the restaurant. Another signal of a good place to eat. I appreciated that they checked with the chef for gluten-free offerings. I ended up with a delightfully dressed (really fresh) rucola and Parmesan salad, a smaller appetizer portion for black truffle risotto (yum!) and a nice glass of Italian Pinot Grigio.
