The food was amazing and everyone was really attentive. Magaly was an amazing server! Would a 100% come back again!

From the moment you walk into Clementina, you feel welcomed. The host is warm, relaxed, and genuinely friendly....exactly what you hope for from a true neighborhood spot without any attitude or pretentiousness. I've been there twice now, and somehow had the same waitress both times. I wish I remembered her name because she was fantastic. Super knowledgeable about both the wine list and the menu and the kind of person who makes the whole experience feel effortless. At this point I have tried most of the appetizers along with the branzino and the gnocchi. Every single dish has been packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. Nothing feels overdone or trying too hard. Just really, really good food. The interior also deserves a mention because it genuinely feels cozy and welcoming like a place that's already been part of the neighborhood for years. The whole vibe is comfortable, local, and unpretentious. Honestly, part of me doesn't even want to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place to myself. But Clementina is just that good, and I'm genuinely happy they are in the neighborhood. read more

Clementina is an amazing choice for folks with dietary restrictions, especially gluten intolerances! I came here for lunch with a couple of friends on a weekday, and it was not busy at all. I did make a reservation, and we got seated immediately, but there were still plenty of tables. Heads up, this spot does not allow outside food to be brought in at all. My friend was carrying a gluten-free lemon loaf from a bakery she had purchased nearby, and we were asked to dispose of it or eat it so that there would be no traces of gluten or cross-contamination. While ordering, we were struck by decision paralysis! There are a lot of options to choose from. We ended up selecting the below: *Focaccia sampler: The bread was chewy and airy. You could not tell it was gluten free. A critique we do have is that even though it was listed as a sampler, we had no idea what variations were on the plate. We wished there were signs or that we got an explanation from the server. All the breads ended up tasting very similar. When we did request a walkthrough, the person delivering to us was also unsure about the items we got. *Eggplant fritters: We thought it was going to be flat and crispy, but it was closer to an arancini ball. There was a nice crispy exterior, and inside the eggplant was nice and creamy. *Panzanella salad with added cheese: Even though it was delicious, we wished there was more peach on the plate to balance everything out. We did add cheese for an extra cost and wondered if the dish would have still been enjoyable without it. That being said, I understand it may be to accommodate folks with lactose intolerance. *Gnocchi with lamb ragu: The gnocchi was nice and pillowy and the lamb was seasoned well with no gamey aftertaste. I wish the tomato sauce base they used was a bit thicker. Overall, our experience here was good. It seems like a very casual Italian spot, similar to Pasta Supply if you have been there. I would say the service was a bit off, and the server seemed to not be as friendly or open to questions. read more

First time at clementina and was super excited as someone with celiac being able to go to a restaurant and not be concerned about getting glutened is an amazing experience. Food was fantastic and so glad we got to try lots of different things. Hands down top two favorite dishes were the mussels and the pizza. Everything tasted super fresh and the server coursed out of meal for us perfectly. Only rating four stars due to the fact that they were out of the focaccia bread and a few other items. Which was a huge disappointment seeing as they specialize in gluten-free dining experience it seemed frustrating that they didn't have the gluten free bread that I know all people with celiac would love to try, being that it is incredibly hard to get good tasting gluten free bread. Other downside is that you can't specify if you would like to sit indoor or outdoor. it's a take what you can get situation even with a reservation like I had tonight (booked like 2 weeks in advance). There is only two tables outside and I couldn't get a feel of the ambience or vibe of the restaurant since we were isolated outside. read more

I wanted to love this place so much. My partner has celiac, so he was very excited to try an Italian restaurant that could work for him. Reservations were made, we arrived, we ordered, and we were left impressed with some of the dishes, but disappointed by others. We each had a pizza, and they were good enough, but not necessarily any different than other gluten free pizzas. I felt like mine lacked pizza sauce. His had dollops of cheese, but he had to mix it together (which isn't what pizza usually is). He did love the eggplant fritters and the focaccia. I think the hype - adoring press, lots of social media enthusiasm - had us expecting something a bit higher end than a mid-range Italian place. Prices are fair (especially in San Francisco) and service is great. But it's just a good restaurant. read more

The main reason we decided to try this restaurant was because I still had a gift card from the previous restaurant, and the owner was kind enough to honor it. I'm glad we gave it a try because we really enjoyed our experience. The pinsa is just as good as the one at Montesacro since it is owned by the same proprietor, and it is one of my favorite styles of pinsa. We tried also the fried fish as the appetizer, but the standout dish was the cotoletta my husband ordered. Not only was it impressively large, but it was also absolutely delicious. My daughter enjoyed the pesto gnocchi. Overall, we had a very positive dining experience and would gladly return. read more

3.75/5 I was so excited about this place! I've been gluten free for so long now and love the idea of not having to worry about things. We had an 8pm dinner and the restaurant itself was dark/dim lighting and very cute. The decor and theme was adorable. Once we got seated, the service was great and the staff was very attentive. The focaccia tasted SO good and was very bouncy. However it was cold. The salted butter helped! Eggplant fritters were warm and tasty! Very crunchy and honestly the flavor was perfect. 3 of us ordered the Guilia pizza and I wish we got a variety. I felt the flavors were a bit strange. I will be eating the leftovers today so maybe will have more thoughts. The crust though, was AMAZING. Crispy bottom, which is hard to come by at normal restaurants. I think they have their bread down! I need to try here again and order something else. read more

I dined here for a friend's birthday dinner recently. She has celiac, and had previously tried and loved the restaurant. We had an amazing time eating here and I was very impressed by the food. There are a lot of dietary restrictions in the group I was with (vegan, vegetarian, etc.) aside from gf, and this was probably the least stressful dining experience I've had. There was something for everyone. I eat a lot of Italian food and was honestly skeptical going in, but I was impressed across the board. The pizza was creative and delicious, and aside from the focaccia (noticeably fluffier than the traditional version, though still quite good), I wouldn't have known this was an entirely gluten-free kitchen. We had a flourless chocolate cake for dessert (not pictured) that was one of the better desserts I've had recently. The restaurant was busy so I would highly recommend booking a reservation in advance. read more

Clementina is a great option for anyone looking for delicious gluten-free Italian food. My friend and I visited for lunch on a Sunday and had a good experience. We ordered the Clementina Pizza and the Pomodoro e Burrata panini. The pizza was very filling, so we ended up taking the panini to go. The service was fast, and it was nice to eat somewhere where I did not have to worry about whether the food was truly gluten-free. Street parking was a bit challenging due to the farmer's market, but there are several parking structures nearby. read more

Mother's Day and Mom is gluten free. Everyone was delighted with Clemintina. It's authentic Italian and everything is fully gluten free. We started with beverages. Mom had a Mimosa and two of us had Chinotto, like an Italian version of Coca Cola. I always seek that out and it's a sign of authentic Italian food. We had three appetizers between us; asparagus with cheese, focaccia and fried smelts, which were excellent. Focaccia was a bit springy, which you expect for gf. Next up, we had a pizza, the branzino and costoletta all Milanese (pounded pork chop like a schnitzel), which is highly recommended and outstanding. Chef made it for us even though it wasn't on the lunch menu. We left stuffed and sated. Everything on the menu is gluten free, but the food is comparable to what you would get in Italy. Mom said it was so relaxing to be able to eat anything it's also fine for celiac too. It was cold outside, so we opted for bar seating which was a lot of fun and the service was excellent. We will be coming back. read more

I had heard so much about this place, so we were all excited to finally try it. It's a bit tricky to review because gluten free dishes that try to replicate traditional versions can be hit or miss, and with that in mind, I think they did a decent job. The ambiance was nice, and our server was warm and attentive, which made the experience feel welcoming from the start. What didn't quite work for me was the flavor balance. Some of the pairings felt off, like certain pasta shapes matched with sauces that didn't really complement them, and at times it felt like the flavors were pushed a bit too strongly. That said, I absolutely loved the cotoletta. It really stood out and was a genuinely great dish. read more

We dropped by on Father's Day and they had a preset menu that you can choose two appetizers from, a main dish, and a dessert. There were 4 choices of appetizers so we tried all of them and they were all excellent. I've been gluten free for years now, so I was excited to try their lasagna and it was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend! I also thoroughly enjoyed their tiramisu. I haven't had a gluten tiramisu before, and it was amazing! We need more gluten free restaurants, please show some support to this place. It's nice to be able to go out to eat without the anxiety of ordering something that will hurt me. Felt very homey and the place is very cute! Service was excellent as well! read more

Appreciated the very gracious service! Buzzy ambiance and just the right amount of dimness. I couldn't tell the pastas were gluten free. - Gnocchi: unfortunately was cold, certainly needed more heating up. The sauce with the lamb interestingly tasted like chef boyardee - was hoping for braised lamb from the ragu description - Rigatoni al pesto: lacked attention to detail - the string beans still had their tough stems! The pesto tasted like store bought pesto, was expecting more flavor - Branzino: cooked perfectly and just rightly salted! Wished there was more done with the carrots and attention to detail on the fish - fins were intact and more bones than expected - Tiramisu: the shortbread layer was not fully soaked, lacked flavor. The cream layer was mostly whipped cream - did not get as much marscapone in it read more

Loved Clementina so nice to have a GF Italian spot that is soo yummy! My friends and I got one of each pizza for takeout. All were so yummy and dough was such a good texture. I then dined in and got the calamari pasta, focaccia, tiramisu, and flourless torte. All were delicious:) I especially loved the service. Our server was so friendly and inviting. The ambience was so cozy and rustic I didn't want to leave!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was exquisite! Equally good for those that are gluten-free... or not! The wine selections were excellent, service very attentive, but the star was the gastronomic experience. We started off with a peach and heirloom tomato appetizer, followed with the pulpo and patata, which was accompanied by the lightest with savory herb seasoning. For entrees we enjoyed the pescato (whole branzino with baby carrots that was moist, delicately but exquisitely seasoned) and what really rocked my world was the LASAGNA. Tomato-based with some creamy elements, pasta al dente that I sunk teeth into, cheesy, gooey goodness-- this was the best lasagna I've had in decades. We topped it off with tiramisu--heaven for a gluten free person. And did I say the portions were generous? We brought home so many leftovers! What makes it a cut above is that everything is gluten-free but it doesn't taste gluten-free!!! My husband is not gluten free, but he is also looking forward to going back!! read more

I'm not GF but was curious to try this new spot. I think they are still working out some kinks in the kitchen. The apps were overly salty (green salad and the cauliflower). The salad was overly dressed/salted and the cauliflower had both olives and capers in it which is major overkill on salt. The pastas were solid, the pesto rigatoni and the gnocchi with meat sauce had good flavor and texture. The rigatoni in particular I couldn't really tell was GF. The gnocchi was more dense than regular gnocchi but still good. The interior is well-done but certain tables are nicer than others. We were seated in the back and my friend was basically facing the wall where they run the checks. The service was attentive. Would come back to try again once they're more established. read more

It was our first time coming here after I had seen someone post about the restaurant on Instagram. I have celiac disease, so finding food and eating out is a complicated task. Our waitress, Brenna R.

I would highly recommend coming here for both Brenna and the food. read more

One of the best gluten free dining experiences I've ever had. I have been gluten free for almost 5 years now and this was hands down the best focaccia bread (actually just the best bread point blank) I've had since! It was warm and fluffy and bouncy! Two were regularly flavored and two were tomato I think, they were pink and adorable. Our server Julia was phenomenal and gave us a perfect wine recommendation. We got the FRITTURA DI PESCETTI (fried smelts) the PUTTANESCA DI CALAMARI (pasta puttanesca) and the GIULIA pizza ( we substituted the lamb for pork sausage due to an allergy). The food was phenomenal. We had the TIRAMISU for dessert and the flavor was awesome and the mini chocolate chips were genius but the only issue we could come up with was that there was just a little too little espresso, it was just a touch dry. But otherwise truly a fantastic experience. read more

Myself and friends came by for an after dinner drink bringing some leftovers from Pasta Supply. The staff asked us not to have the Pasta Supply bags on the bar or even on the floor near us. The staff took our food and put the two large bags we brought off in a corner on some bench. When we left, we said good night to the staff and nobody reminded us of our leftovers and we forgot ourselves. It's unfortunate but also negligent or worse. There's no official law about food containers in SF I've ever encountered and the staff noticed and admired the food from Pasta Supply. Guess I should say to Clementina staff, bon appetite? read more

Clementina is a totally gluten free Italian restaurant in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district. It is run by the same person that ran Bettola and also owns Montesacro, great pivot. No more market inside. They have one menu with some items not available at lunch. 3.7 on Yelp. Price are not cheap, welcome to inflation new order. 5% Employer Surcharge. Food is great for gluten free folks, and okay for the rest of us accompanying them. No sense judging it against normal food with gluten Service was solid but not exceptional, with some long pauses. Food Review: Crocchette ($18.00) Eggplant Fritters, Smoked Paprika Mayonnaise for 4 are large balls filled with warm eggplant. 8.5/10 FOCACCIA E BURRO ($8) House Focaccia, Whipped House Butter, Maldon Sea Salt. is great for GF people. Lots of cubes that are not powdery. 8.5/10 Clementina Pizza ($25.00) Mozzarella, Spigarello, Pork Sausage, Stracciatella are rectangular and could have had more meat. Better than most gluten free ones. 8.5/10 Gnocchi Agnello ($25.00) was made with the eggless pasta and Lamb Ragù, Parmigiano Reggiano. Much better than a simple penne and good sauce. 9/10 Tiramisu ($13.00) Coffee Soaked Pan di Spagna, Mascarpone, Eggs, Cacao is a godsend for GF folks. 8.5/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes read more

The service was very good, the atmosphere is charming, the beet salad is great, but the rest was not good. We had pasta and risotto. It was bland at best and oddly one dimensional. We were very excited about this and I'm sorry to say regretted going. read more

Walked down to Clementina for date night, and it was a wonderful experience! We'll definitely be back for the asparagus and gnocchi. Our server Julia was super attentive and our bar drinks came out quickly, perfect every time. Can't wait to come back! read more

Was very excited for this spot to open, as we loved the previous iteration and I wanted to bring my family here, because we have a few celiacs among us. Food was GREAT! I would eat here again as someone who does not have any restrictions. We had the beet salad (yuM!) one of the pizzas (the potato one!) and the tiramisu. Everyone enjoyed everything and it is so nice to not have to worry about contamination and restrictions. read more

My friends and I ventured from Oakland to S.F. to try clementina. I'm gluten free (my friends are not) and was sooo excited when I heard clementina was opening. I want to say that our service was great and everyone was friendly. We did have to reduce our reservation from five people to three and we ended up being sat at stools by the window. Wasn't the best but we made due. On to the food. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flavor and seasoning. The two standouts were the focaccia (so soft!) and the lamb pizza. The pizza was delicious, the lamb cooked perfectly. The crust, very good. However, I have to say that Lucia's in Berkeley is still the best gluten free pizza. Unfortunately, the squid ragu was flavorless and could have at least used some salt. I would never get this dish again. The asparagus with mozzarella was okay, but the huge plop of burrata made it hard to eat the dish. Perhaps consider smaller amounts of burrata on top of the asparagus. The dish itself was lackluster. Overall, I won't make an effort to come back to clementina, it's too expensive for dishes that are underwhelming. I do appreciate that the restaurant is celiac safe - I didn't feel ill or have any reaction after eating dinner. read more

Either Clementina has taken the feedback or a lot of the previous reviews were one off growing pain issues. I'd say I have a pretty high bar for restaurants, particularly Italian food, and I had a wonderful meal here. My brother (not gluten free) also agreed that everything was fantastic. Service - stellar, Julia was incredible and gave some great recommendations. Food - focaccia medley was great, very fluffy and moist for a GF bread. - mussels with Gorgonzola, tasty, crispy, creamy. Focaccia was perfect for dipping in the remaining sauce - gnocchi with lamb ragu, did not have the same experience as others here. Sauce was rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet as others indicated here. Gnocchi was top notch (I'd say better than Bella Trattoria for those GF folks comparing) - artichoke, potato, and lamb sausage pizza. This was a standout. Among the best GF pizza crusts I've had in the US. Sausage was tasty, and the whole pie had a nice spice to it. Really delicious. - tiramisu was very good, not overly sweet, and the cake base had great texture. One nit would be the chocolate chips throughout. Overall not the textural contrast I'm looking for in a tiramisu, but that could be a personal preference and I could see others liking that. Ambiance - gorgeous space, great lighting, lively but not too loud. Would recommend, and definitely a place all would enjoy, not just gluten free folks. SF is really short on "destination" restaurants with gluten free options, and overall I've been disappointed with the gluten free scene in SF. Clementina is a step in the right direction for the city! read more

First time trying Clementina and I'm obsessed. I've been gluten free for a few years now and it's such a treat to be in a restaurant where I can eat everything so freely. The focccocia was light and fluffy- the butter it came with was delicious as well. We loved the fried smelt and the lamb ragu pasta, and the tiramisu tasted as good as I remember from my gluten eating days! Our server, Carolina was great at describing the dishes and helped us pick a perfect wine for the meal; 10/10 service. Excited to be back for more gluten free date nights! read more

Fell in love with this place, the vibes were immaculate, food was beautifully crafted and tasted amazing !!

My kids have celiac disease so finding a restaurant that is 100% gluten free seemed amazing. We decided to try it for Father's Day. We were woefully disappointed The restaurant itself is super cute . Nice ambiance, cute decor. Staff is friendly and attentive. Everything about that service was superior. Water glasses never empty. Empty plates never lingered. Server was always making sure we had what we wanted. I'd go back for the service but not the food Father's Day only offered a prix fix menu which looked amazing and for kids who can never eat lasagna or gnocchi in a restaurant, tbis menu seemed like a dream come true. Sadly the food failed. Meatballs. The sauce was super sweet and tasted like someone poured way too much sugar in the marinara. The meatball itself was nothing special and actually kind of small Fried squash blossoms. Where's the squash? It was mostly fried batter that was so overcooked I thought I was eating a potato chip. Buratta. Best starter they offered but nothing special about it. It would have been lovely with a crisp or fresh peaches. Lasagna. Suffered from the same fatal flaw as the meatballs. That sweet sauce. It overpowered any flavor or spice from the sausage and the lasagna was very greasy like the noodles were cooked in butter Gnocchi. The sauce was too rich and had way too many mushrooms. Ribeye. Cooked to perfection but the veggies on the side were soggy and we couldn't eat them. Broccolini would have been better. Tiramisu was dry. The food was so rich and we couldn't eat taste all the butter and oil and sugars used that we all had stomach aches after. We felt sick for the rest of the night. So sad because we loved the venue and staff but the food failed to meet the mark esp for the price we paid and expectation that since it was all gluten free we would not be sick after. read more

My son has celiac and LOVES Italian food. We are always looking for good gluten free options. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Standouts for us were the rigatoni pesto and the costoletta - really just outstanding. We will definitely be back again and again! Grazie mille per offrire cibo senza glutine buonissimo a San Francisco!! Noi che abbiamo figli celiaci non abbiamo molte opzioni davvero italiane qui. Grazie davvero!!! read more

So i have some friends that have Celiac. It is a tough thing. What they usually say they miss the most? Italian. Pasta, Bread Pizza,,,all the things I take for granted. Now there's an amazing Italian restaurant that happens to be gluten free! now their other places have the options but not the totality of Clementina. Some of the diners here didnt even know that was the case. Its lkind of how I find some vegetarian cuisines like many regional indian ones, dont have to say theyre vegetarian, they just are and you dont find yourself missing the meat, Our stomachs where not able to take on the whole menu we just need to come back. But the beets/blackberry, vitello tonato, risototo Milanese and the cotoletto were all amazing. We like their other restaurants so we kind of knew we would enjoy it and we sure did. A welcome new place in the area and we'll work our way down the dishes we didnt have next time! read more

Our waitress at Clementina was truly lovely--attentive, kind, and easily the best part of the entire experience. Unfortunately, everything else fell far short. My partner has celiac disease and a dairy intolerance, so we were genuinely excited to try a place that seemed like it could accommodate dietary restrictions. Instead, we left extremely disappointed--and honestly shocked at how underwhelming and overpriced the food was. Across the board, the dishes lacked flavor, balance, and basic execution. Several items even had an off-putting fishy smell, which made them hard to eat, let alone enjoy. We rarely leave meals unfinished, but this was one of those times where we simply couldn't continue eating. GNOCCHI AL RAGÙ DI AGNELLO - The gnocchi itself was fine, but the lamb ragu sauce was a bit too sweet for the gamey-ness from the lamb. I expected this to be savory dish and it came out almost sweet. 5/10 RISOTTO CROCCANTE E MIDOLLO (vp) - The bone marrow tasted genuinely off, borderline spoiled, which is unacceptable. The risotto itself had no real flavor to redeem it. 0/10 MARGHERITA (no cheese) - We understand removing cheese changes a dish, but this was still disappointing. The crust was decent, but everything else lacked seasoning or character. Oddly, the olives were the most flavorful part. 5/10 VITELLO TONNATO - Extremely underwhelming and especially frustrating given the price. Completely lacking in flavor and finesse. 0/10 POLPO E PATATE - A good blend of flavors but missing salt. 6/10 INSALATA DI CAMPO - Not cohesive at all. The fennel and arugula created an overwhelmingly bitter profile that wasn't balanced properly. A few pieces of clementine weren't enough to save it, and the dressing did nothing to tie it together. 0/10 For the price point, this was honestly unacceptable. Good service cannot make up for food that is this poorly executed. We came in excited and left regretting the experience. Definitely not a place we'd return to. read more

Took my partner to dinner here for his birthday. Everything we got was delicious! We shared the foccacia (with yummy butter), rigatoni pesto, the Alice pizza (made with quinoa flour crust!) and flourless chocolate cake. We arrived at 6:00 for our 6:30 reservation just to check that they had us on their list, but they had an open table and seated us early. So appreciated. Service was fast, super friendly, and they made my partner feel special for his birthday. Ambiance is lively bordering on loud, but festive and fun. Highly recommend. We will be back! read more

Was only able to get a pizza to go as the place was packed. Friendly staff. Margherita pizza was

I really wanted to love this place but it didn't WOW me, I am very glad it's 100% gluten free and as someone with celiac disease this was a must try. I ordered the lasagna al pesto, which waiter explained was not layered lasagna (totally fine) unfortunately it came out on the colder side and some of the pasta was overcooked/burned which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. They brought it out at the same time as the costelleta alla milanesa (pork chop) which was good also. The bread was very fluffy and delicious that was probably my favorite thing..cute environment, they had a movie playing on the projector as well. I'll definitely give this place another chance. read more

This gluten free restaurant is a refreshing change of pace. The decor is welcoming and fits the food. The staff greeted us and sat us before our reservation, which was nice. Our servers Kiara and Brenna were very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu was not as expansive as I expected, but it was the lunch menu and I think dinner had more items. We ordered the gnocchi which was DELICIOUS! The texture was really pleasing and the meat sauce was tasty. The tagliatelle sauce was a bit bland, but we enjoyed the texture of the noodles. The margherita pizza had a nice crust but didn't have the bold sauce and mozzarella flavor I'm used to. Focaccia was soft and fragrant. Finished off with gelato- pistachio was too tier. Overall it was a pleasant experience. read more

wanted to like this place, but service, quality and price points are incongruent. our first time so we wanted to order from all the menus. greeted by host who asked us "what's up guys?" (really?). seated next to a two top that was already on second course. service was slow, spotty until they presented dishes -- rushed courses. i asked to taste two white wines to decide and the server said "we don't taste wines, it's policy". cue utter bewilderment and facial contortions. (fact: restaurants sell more wine when they taste the wine to ensure the guest likes it, i.e. they will buy another glass. bad 'policy'). not a great start. took 10 min to get a glass of wine after that. server finally realized we were actually going to buy a bottle (which I said i was not going ask her to open to taste -- the joke landed flat). onto the food: the eggplant fritters were crispy, but needed salt, just a squishy gob of glue inside; the cavatappi was an improvement, but was missing something, maybe a bit more garlic and more pesto; the clementina pizza ("pinsa") crust is nice, but it's actually pre-made, so nothing special here. the costoleta and "blistered" tomatoes was nothing special, the cutlet was pounded too thin, overfried and half of it a dry, leathery jerky. it came half way through our pizza. we left well before the other two top and were not eating very quickly. will go across the street to buy my own gluten free pasta. read more

Just finishing up our meal at Clementina for their opening night. Superb! Standouts were the pizza, lasagne (the béchamel was incredible), and their meringue dessert. The owner and staff are super pleasant and up beat, service was excellent and the vibe in side is very tasteful. It almost threw me off that nothing is labeled gluten free but indeed EVERYTHING is gluten free. They have focaccia! So glad to have a new spot to eat at. Can't wait to come back and bring friends. read more
