The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

We were guided by the reviews that gave it as a gluten-free location. And I must say that the whole family took advantage of it. Not only did we find several gluten-free dishes, but also the appetizers and soups were excellent. Especially on days when it often rains and the wind is felt, a nice hot cup is always nice. We enjoyed the Tuscan with tomato juice. We Italians appreciated it too. Giant salads and friendly staff. In fact, we returned for an aperitif the next morning. If you are in the Victoria Street area during lunch time, we recommend it.
