The Sharp Sickle — Restaurant in Rome

2:30 on a Wednesday. i am 12 weeks pregnant and very sick. today i made myself some food at home and ended up not being able to hold it down. i have great intentions for my diet and pregnancy, but this is tough!

it’s also a really hard day in age to have an allergy in general, but gluten allergies aren’t fun. i feel like i regularly miss out on things because i can’t consume gluten.

not at The Sharp Sickle. the entire menu is gluten free and that’s so exciting for me!

today was my first time visiting, although i’d eyed the menu several times. i was greeted so warmly upon my entrance and tyler was so helpful when i mentioned it was my first time coming in.

i didn’t mention my pregnancy to tyler, but this gentleman saved my life today. i got a few different sandwiches, one for the husband and one for me to have later if needed. i decided on the turkey basil pesto sandwich to try first.

i am in pregnant girl heaven right now. i needed this in my life today. i greatly look forward to trying my other sandwich and i even was able to get a cookie sandwich, too!

there was another gentleman working today but i can’t seem to find his name on any receipts. he and tyler both were so warm and welcoming. i will be back probably tomorrow.

thanks...

Besides the fact of being treated like I was stupid because I didn't know enough about the place. The place was not busy there was only one other person standing there. I had to ask where do I go to order and I also had to ask what I do after I order do I just stand here do I sit down where do I stand where does the food come from? All valid questions that had no answers. Very...

This is my favorite coffee shop in Rome. There are other nice shops but they either only have one or two sugar-free options or they kept caffeinating me when I specifically ask for decaf. I've been to Sharp Sickle more than 6 times now working my way thru their flavors, for me, all decaf, sugar-free, and non-dairy milk and each one has been delicious. I don't feel like I'm missing anything and it's a nice treat for myself. My husband has no dietary restrictions and can drink any kind of coffee, has tried mine and agreed they are delicious and you can't tell the difference. We love the...
