Very nice place to eat a dinner, very busy, huge portions, one order can feed 4 people. tons of dietary restriction food, gluten free, garlic free, etc. highly recommend.

They could not have made our anniversary feel any less special if they tried. When we booked, we made sure to note it was our 25th wedding anniversary. We did the same when we got to the restaurant, and the host acted as if he didn't even hear me. Which I thought for a minute that he didn't, because he seated us at a table next to a family with very rambunctious kids. When I asked about the more private looking booths (again, mentioning the desire for a romantic evening) I was told, 'they are all reserved'. I made my reservations over a month earlier, so I'm not sure how far in advance you might need to book to be treated to one of these booths. I may never know ... the likelihood of us going back is slim. The waiter seemed to be distracted all evening. As he was always looking somewhere else, and seemed unable to answer most of our questions, or even seem to hear them. It was as if he couldn’t wait to get us out of there. Keep in mind it was a Tuesday night at 6pm. The place was not overly busy. The only acknowledgment of the occasion came when he literally dropped a small cake on the table with a candle, mumbled something about, ‘happy anniversary’ and ran away ... Might we have liked a picture to capture the moment? Or even a chance to order a coffee to have with the desert (which was not gluten free .. even though my wife’s whole meal was GF). We were specially disappointed because we had been so looking forward to the experience. We had read about Angeline’s in New Jersey magazine and had heard so much about their wonderful service. There was also mention of their special gluten free options. Turns out they have one type of gluten free pasta and none of the deserts, bread or appetizers were GF.

Went to Harrah’s for a DECA state conference and went to La Strada because they have gluten free pasta. It was so good that I went there both nights in a row. The first night we had Signe as our waitress. She was more than welcoming and her hospitality was top tier. She was patient and more than willing to work with me and my dietary restrictions. La Strada was one of my best experiences that I had at a restaurant ever. Each of the waiters and waitresses were personable. No matter what happened they were friendly, respectful and courteous.

Nice, genuine Italian eatery that did not quite live up to the hype. We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Our server was polite but never cracked a smile (until the check came) or really made us feel welcome. We had high hopes for the cocktails but they were quite bitter. Appetizers were delicious but portions were teeny tiny. More like tapas than appetizers. The stars of the show were the pasta entrees. Both my bolognese and my wife’s dish were excellent. Deep rich meaty flavors and properly cooked gluten free pasta. The ambience at Girasole is sort of a Tucson patio theme. It’s more successful in the entry dining room by the bar than in the larger secondary dining room. Overall we enjoyed our meal, but at this price point there are better choices for good Italian dining in AC.

I was pleasantly surprised by this upscale but quaint little gem in Tropicana! To start off I have Celiac's disease so I am very selective where I go to eat. I called ahead to ask if they had gluten free options and they said yes so I made a reservation for that night. We got seated quickly and was greeted by our server Mark who was nothing short of amazing. He was very knowledgeable about gluten free and served gluten free rolls which were spectacular!! The chef specially made a flounder franchaise for me and everything from the apps to the wine selection was amazing! The manager was very nice and came over to the table to ask how everything was. We will be back very soon!! A must try in AC

Incredible food. Top 10 of my life, really. Super authentic Italian food, many of the dishes were prepared table side which is fun. Plenty of gluten free options as they make most things from scratch. Our friend made the reservation but I'm told it was very hard to do. You have to call ahead 2 weeks away from when you want to come in. Exactly 2 weeks as you can't book any further out than that and they sell out in just a few minutes. So call and call at noon exactly 2 weeks out. It's a small but very authentic venue. Service was OK, our waiter could have stopped by a bit more. Overall it was a great experience and I would go back for sure, if I can get a reservation!

This is a wonderful food! All most of their food is gluten free and dairy free. Totally recommend coming here if you have these allergies.

Plan on a wait before being seated in the Summer, but know that everything will be worth the wait! Extensive menu. Delicious food. Excellent service. Also, if you're eating gluten free, they have a different gluten free pasta each night, off menu. Just ask! Enjoy!
