Sorry but I need to tell the true about the place...

Their pasta and pizza are amazing!! Finally an Italian food place I can enjoy. :) The food is delicious! I've only ordered through UberEats. I haven't been there in person, but wow the gnocchi is like I'm back in Italy. I've had a gluten free pizza crust, which is difficult to get in the city and taste is not always to par, but they knock it out of the park! Here it is delicious, but you need to note it on UberEats for gluten-free. I called the restaurant to see if it was available and I ordered a larger pie to compensate/cover cost of the smaller gluten-free pie, since the crust is a surcharge. It worked out beautifully. I don't have celiac just a sensitive so anyone with a true allergy should find out more information through the restaurant. All and all 2 thumbs...
