They have a nice gluten free menu section but the French toast was not tasty.

My favorite Brunch destination! They have EVERYTHING! Bring your appetite because you will need it. It is like having breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all in one place. An example of my first plate was Prime rib, Ham, stuffed duck, tortellini, vegetables. My daughter who has ciliac came back with a gluten-free waffle! I was shocked! We all took 1 bite of it and headed over to get our own! There was a bourbon maple syrup to drench it as well as many fruits and chocolate chips...you name it. If you want an omelette they have a station that has everything. You want cheeses and cured meats they have it. Salmon and bagels and shrimp cocktail! I had wanted to take my kids there many years ago and insisted we had to go on my birthday this year. My adult children were beside themselves. They could not believe the food choices and the quality and frankly the price per person is reasonable. They have something for everyone!

The prices in the menu are NOT what they charge on the final bill. Confirm before you sign your check! We came because safe place for Celiacs to eat, food and margaritas are decent. However, the prices in the menu DO NOT reflect what was on our bill. We caught the $8 overage on the pitcher of margaritas (because we discussed the cost to split it prior). Our server fixed that when we pointed it out. Afterwards, discovered two of our three entrees were also over charged by $2 & $5, which was not fixed by our server when we asked her to adjust the margaritas. As a former server, this seems like a scam by the restaurant and not intentional from our server. If you do eat here, keep a menu on the table and check your bill against it for EVERY ITEM! We would have paid an additional $15, had we not done this!

My wife has celiac. She has strict dietary needs. While placing a takeaway order the hostess was not trained how to take an order for a guest with food allergies. When this was discovered at the time of pickup, the solution went from bad to worse. It still wasn't fixed and contained allergens once she left. Upon discovery of the second mistake she called and instead of understanding she was denied any kind of refund until speaking to management that wasn't available to talk. What kind of restaurant doesn't take food allergies seriously? The lack of training and understanding is scary. Do not trust this restaurant if you have a food allergy. They don't care!!!!!!

Best Gluten Free Pizza in town, by far, tastes like the real thing. Great service.

John Gil

We had a member of our party who is strictly gluten free. The staff was incredibly accommodating, made sure our items were gluten free. A great dining experience and will be repeat customers. Highly recommended!

Came for the gluten free pizza. Absolutely amazing! Will definitely be coming back 🙌🏽 The staff welcomed us in smiles. Service was great. Food came out quickly, fresh, and was steaming hot. Atmosphere is small and quaint.

Had a wonderful time and great coffee. Had one of the breakfast sandwiches and a gluten free banana bread.

Lovely little spot. Delicious food and friendly staff. Upon sitting down we got a bowl of garlic knots. Upon recommendation of our waitress I chose the avocado Caprese salad and hubby got linguine with white clam sauce. We ate every bite. They also offer gluten free pizza and pasta!! Next time trying the pizza. Looked delicious.

Great pizza with unique varieties. Some favorites are the bacon cheeseburger pizza (complete with ketchup, mustard, and pickles) and the loaded baked potato pizza, along with the more classic tomato and basil varieties. Check out the menu for all the options- too many to list here. The gluten-free crust is great, too- thin and crisp. Also a big fan of the salads, and they have a good variety of beverages (with or without alcohol), too. As for the atmosphere- there’s a nice,covered outdoor area, open indoor area on the main level, and, for train lovers, the upper level has two amazing model train layouts with working trains and views of the train station outside. The staff are friendly and willing to work with dietary needs, and service is usually pretty quick.

We dine at least once at Luigi's during our stay in Old Saybrook each year. The food is delucious and the service is friendly and efficient. Their outdoor patio is wonderful. I was happy to learn that they are able to accommodate my gluten-free needs.

My coworkers and I visit Sip frequently and have a lovely time each time we go! The wine is amazing and the cheese options even better (though I admittedly love cheese above all else). The staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. The owner, Derrick, is always interesting in hearing what we think or offering selection suggestions. I usually go for a flight which consists of three 2oz pours...I pick two and then ask for a recommendation for the third. Nine times out of ten his recommendation is my favorite (and it's the second favorite for that last time). Whether you are a wine connoisseur or just dipping a toe into the world of wines, Sip Wine Bar is the place to go. And if you like horseradish, I highly recommend you get the horseradish-cheddar spread as your side for the charcuterie board, you will not be disappointed. Oh! And they offer gluten-free crackers and are very aware of cross-contamination. Huge win as someone in my crew has celiac.

Holding back a star because lunch time can get SO busy in here, and the service gets veryyy slow if you order a sandwich. Online ordering is great, parking is convenient (and it's very easy to get to from the highway), and they have a ton of gluten free and vegetarian options (both in sandwiches, by-the-pound salads, and frozen meals). Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are also spot on -- thank you!!

Good food with an excellent selection of gluten free options. Friendly and welcoming staff. Be forewarned, cash only.
