had a great experience with my family this past Sunday. Mia was our server and was so kind and helpful at explaining the food items on the menu. the TFK chicken sandwich was pretty good - I had to make an adjustment to a gluten free bun but both my brother and father enjoyed the original version. the margarita pizza we had was incredible! highly recommend as an appetizer. Can’t wait to come back and try the SZA CZA!

The farro and beet root salad I had was delicious. Three problems. I asked for chicken and it came without it; the hostess graciously fixed the problem, though it took a little while. Second, the menu says the farro salad is gluten free (important for some people), but farro is (lol) wheat. Third, I soon realized that there was no farro in the salad... Now that's comedy! The coffee was meh.

The food was good, fresh, and flavorful. They had tons of gluten free options making this very versatile for everyone with dietary restrictions.

I was REALLY looking foward to going here, after seeing the fully marked, gluten free menu online. After struggling to find parking, we finally made it to this restaurant. We were handed dirty menus ( visible spills on them) that were not labeled for gluten free. The waitress acted like the other menu never existed and mumbled something about kebabs. We got up and left, never to return.

I am originally from an Island with a pizzeria on every other corner. Most of it was pretty good, with some outstanding options. I moved to NJ in 2016 and have struggled to find pizza that doesn't have a diaper-crust and/or terrible cheese/sauce . I tried Lido on a whim and probably won't be ordering from anywhere else. The sauce/cheese is excellent quality and the crust is thin/crispy. Absolutely perfect and highly recommended. They have tons of gluten free options, I am unsure if the gf pizza is made in a separate prep area. Would love to know.

Great food! If gluten intolerant. They have gluten-free noodles. Yummy!

After being a Maggiano’s fan in Chicago, for many years, I was a bit disappointed that the food at this location did not taste quite the same, and the service wasn’t as good as it had been back in Chicago. That said, the restaurant ambience is still wonderful, I love all the old brass fixtures and chandeliers, and I would probably bring back friends and family. I appreciated that there were gluten-free options as well.

Love this place. Nice atmosphere. Today I had the mahi mahi w/mango salsa. Delicious!! Our server was great, my mojito was perfect and tres leches finished off the meal. Nice to see gluten free options on the menu.

Second time dining here, and my experience fulfilled me just as much as it did the first. Food seems fresh and is prepared deliciously. I was treated like royalty by the staff here and the manager was absolutely incredible. No complaints at all. Also, I was happy to learn that everything is gluten-free, really providing a viable option to those who have omitted said protein from their diets.

We received this board as a gift and it was spectacular. The selection of cheeses and meats, the condiments, and gluten free crackers was loved by everyone who shared it. Thanks for the care you put into the beautiful presentation.

This is a humble pizzaria, and food is quality! Rating : 4.8 stars We've ordered for delivery countless times, picked up once, and finally decided to dine in this time around. The staff and waitress are all very welcoming. Like most pizzeria, beverages are self serve. My Cajun grilled salmon is seasoned perfectly, and the scampi sauce is delicious. I love the extra lemon ! So if you prefer a less sour sauce, do let them know. Grilled veggie pie, this dish was our only disappointment. The pizza was lacking sauce, so we asked for extra sauce on the side other wise it would be too dry. The gluten-free crust is thicker this time when we dined in vs ordering for delivery, hence the crust seemed like it could be cooked another 2 mins. Baked lasagna, extra cheesy and made with extra sauce! Highly recommend! Maybe that's where our pizza sauce went. Food is amazing whether we are dining in, picking up, or ordering for delivery! Many customers dining in or ordering food to go during our meal. Parking is always guaranteed since they are located at an outdoor plaza with many parking spots!

Went here Saturday night with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. We haven't been here in years. The ambiance was nice. The staff were very nice and knowledgeable about Gluten-free options for my wife. We had the cold seafood platter for two for our appetizer. For our entrée we had the 14 Oz bone in filet mignon and the prime rib with horseradish mashed potatoes, asparagus and a side of truffle butter. Absolutely amazing! We finished off with Creme Brule. Great place to celebrate a special occasion. Very nice GF menu with lots of options.

The food was incredible. It reminded me of my childhood at my Italian grandmother's house. They had some really amazing gluten free gnocchi! I don't think I came up for air while eating.

Excellent sushi and great gluten free options

Talia Plaut

Such a good gluten free wrap! My life’s mission is to find good gluten free wraps and I rarely find them. This was one of the best ones I’ve ever had!!

I am so glad I stopped to have breakfast here! Everything from the decor to the wait staff is professional, and the decor is adorable. The food was awesome, and they have gluten-free bread, bun, and pasta! What a great meal!
