Everything was outstanding! The ambiance, the staff were especially great, and the food was fantastic! The cocktails and bartender were awesome. So great to have a gluten free fine dining experience in our area. Bravo!

Really did enjoy most of our dishes. The lamb shank was delicious. Meat just fell off tje bone. Special pork chop with polenta was also delicious. The gastrique was a bit too sweet but did not ruin the dish for us. Service was fast and efficient. They request your stay is 90 minutes, and we were out well before. It's not very relaxing as your dish is cleared the moment you finish, but would definitely go again for the food!

This was our second time here. The food is fresh, delicious and unbeatable. It's about an hour drive to get there and completely worth the time. We took our daughter for her 16th bday - she was able to eat anything on the menu since everything is gluten free. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The wine selection is great and my husband enjoyed a gluten free IPA. We had the best dinner full of delightful food, laughter, smiles and family time. Thank you!

Delicious food offering. Booked purely because it was highly rated and looked quality. Bonus that everything is gluten free. Desserts are exquisite. We had the lemon ricotta cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake - both favorites. The pork chop was delicious and cooked perfectly, sauce was surprisingly sweet. Too much for my taste usually but still enjoyed it. The space is very small and quaint, so ambiance was quiet to moderate. Loved the real candle on the table. Haven't seen that in a restaurant in years.

A real gem. Gluten free and wonderful. I bring guests there all the time who love the food and are very surprised that it was completely gluten free. Tonight my son and I both has super flavorful and unusual Caesar salads, followed by tasty scallops and risotto for me and the always yummy chicken parm for my son. We shared our favorite lemon ricotta cheesecake. Oh and their Paloma tequila cocktail is a winner too! Such a great small restaurant vibe. One of a kind!

My spouse has Celiac so what a joy to find a restaurant that is completely gluten free and the food is outstanding. Being able to choose anything on the menu is a real treat. The restaurant is very small and the front door is hard to find in the dark but once you are inside, it's cozy and welcoming. The GF bread served at the table rivals any non-GF bread in texture and taste. The food was perfectly prepared and made with high quality ingredients. The Polenta is fantastic and my only complaint is that I would love more of it!

Great restaurant for someone who's gluten-free, overall the restaurant was good. The hostess greeting us was fantastic, she was very friendly and Kept checking on us... The waitress on the other hand was just OK, she waited on two other tables that came after us before taking our order... (very small restaurant only maybe 10 to 12 tables) I had to ask her if there were any specials explaining that this was our first time there.
Great food.Service from hostess and assistant server were warm and welcoming.The actual server was rude to us and had a completely different energy when it came to the regulars who so happened to be everyone else that evening. How do we know? Because of the loud "oh hey!" loud yelling between the other tables. First we showed up on time. We sat and were given menus. Server returns and asked if we ever been there before. We say no and it's only been 15 seconds and they are snapping the specials to us. No "welcome it's your first time" speech. Like. Why ask? Then they got one of the three specials wrong and repeating themselves. I felt like they were wanting our attention but I'm intently looking at the menu. This was not the typical smooth upsell spiel and they were annoyed at us? . Then they ask if we wanted any drinks. I said yes and they ran off no questions even though I'd assume the / sign on the menu means x or x? Felt like I was in a diner.When they came back we said our orders but we couldn't say the names well. They repeated it back to us, but not in a let me confirm and correct you way. It really started to upset the energy.They didn't even collect the bread plates. We had to move them ourselves. Server and assistant just showed up with the main plates. This wasn't a big deal but it's already not going well. Like again the rushing of us. Like here's your food be gone! Hurry up! We don't have time to clear your appetizer plates like a normal service. Why? They have a 1.5 hour timed for reservations. We had time. Lastly we had an older parent with us. I really expected better and more patient service. For example, the tables that filled up later, were softly spoken to, laughed with and just like how you expect a server at a place like this to be, but others are favored because they're regulars. However it's so off putting to be the "other" when spoken to.The food was amazing and I would come back but only because it serves the dietary restriction of a family member.I really felt like the server was annoyed at us and wanted us out ASAP... even though we did everything right in terms of making a reservation and being on time. We couldn't enjoy the time we were there and isn't that the point?

Fantastic to have a completely GF restaurant nearby. Starters, mains, and polentas are delicious. Focaccia is soft and fluffy, but the breads could use a little warming or toasting. GF breads are best when warmed or toasted. Desserts were meh - they've discontinued a lemon ricotta cake that was very good. We had espresso panna cotta - it was good but not great. We also had cannolli - it was not much, and not very flavorful.It's a small place, which can be nice and can create intimacy, but this night there was a table with two babies - ok I can understand that noise - but their adults were watching the 9ers playoff game on phones and actually screamed when big plays happened - rude and unforgivable.We've been here other times and it has been quite nice. The servers are friendly and attentive. The drinks are generous and well made, and as I noted earlier the GF food is delicious. We love the meatballs, the arancini, the short rib, chicken Parm and other dishes, and it's a revelation for my celiac family members. Be warned - it's not inexpensive to eat here - it's definitely a special occasion place. Attention to a few details would help to justify the high price tag for more frequent visits.Dietary restrictions: Dedicated gluten free

This place is cute and intimate! Theres at most 7 tables, and 2 seats at the bar. They have candles at every table for dinner. Surprisingly, they dont do any birthday specials like free dessert. They give complimentary bread thats super soft, but wish this was toasted. To make up for it, We ordered a Bruschetta flight with the piedmonte, yvonna, and calabria. These were huge and nicely toasted. They gave us knife so we can cut them into pieces and split them. Really enjoyed the brie on theseI ordered the mushroom polenta with alfredo sauce and was a bit disappointed at the amount of polenta. I expected more. My friend got the special where it was porkchops on top of polenta. I didnt notice how much polenta she got but she received 2 huge pieces of pork. There's no specials menu, the server told us the specials verbally. On the bill, it was $40.For dessert, I got the cannoli. I would not get this again. The shell tasted very burnt to me.In the end, I would definitely visit again and try other dishes. The service was nice and the setting was cozy

Food is excellent! Gluten free bread is so soft. The roasted garlic and butter are great accompaniments. The pork chops were tender and succulent. The polenta is so yummy! The Arancini is crispy and the sauce, savory but light. Service is top notch. Ambiance is lively, intimate, and elegant.
