First time and I would come back. I like how unique the place is. It's rare that you go to a restaurant that doesn't have fries on the menu. It was nice and encouraged me to try something new, like the magic mushroom soup. They also offer gluten-freen and vegan options.

The owner, David, was very friendly and accommodating. I am celiac and he assured me that 95% of the menu is gluten free. He offered up additional information on labeling to assure me. I told him I was semi hungry and he recommended the salmon kabobs. It came with two different sauces and rice with a salad. It was fresh and delicious. I will be a new “usual” customer now!

The food here is delicious. The gluten free chocolate torte cake I had when I visited tasted like the version my mother used to make when I was a child. And the breakfast sandwich was heavenly. Light but filling!

The vegetarian options are not gluten free. The waitresses are loud & obnoxious as they shout at each other. Overpriced for crappy food.

Absolutely love this place! We went with my Sunday school class and they were very accommodating. Two in our group are gluten free and they had lots of options for them. The waitress Olivia was great especially for such a big group.

Excellent service and care. Started ordering by letting the staff know we have Celiac disease and the staff member immediately removed his gloves, washed his hands, and put on fresh gloves to serve us. He ensured he was the only one to touch our food containers through to check out. Plus, the food was stellar! So happy to have a safe place for my daughter to feel comfortable eating out.

I have dined here many times and the food and service have always been exemplary. By far and away the best Italian food on the Peninsula. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. I have tried other Italian restaurants in the vicinity, but none come close to the quality of the food at Azzuri. They also have gluten-free pasta, so I can actually enjoy noodles!

Went here for lunch recently. I’m gluten sensitive so opted for the lettuce wrap. The young lady at the counter asked if I had an allergy. I told her gluten. Not sure if they took precautions from there, but I had zero issues the next day.

I thought the food was going to be spicy, but I was wrong!! Was originally going there for a farewell dinner for coworker. Food was plentiful! I should have stopped munching on the nachos, lol!! Did not finish my meal (took the leftover home; had it for breakfast with eggs!!) Gluten free options?? Definitely will come back for another visit!!
