Exploring and craving Italian food, I came across this location which has great reviews. Upon arrival plenty of parking , mid day place was empty with no wait time. Place is nice and clean and open with outside and indoor dining, I liked their gluten free options but disappointed because no bread is available to order during lunch hours only dinner and I love to enjoy my pasta with bread. I ordered the penne Michelangelo gluten free pasta, sauce was bland little oily and the pasta was cooked well. The order of the fettuccine cartoccio had several sea food, sauce also oily and the calamari was inconsistent with some under or overcooked. Lastly was the grande lasagna bolognese and it was overstuffed with ricotta cheese overpowering everything and a little oily as well. Not sure if its a place I would come back to but was disappointed with the oily, bland sauces and the no bread with pasta.

5 STAR - B E C A U S E of their Gluten-Free pizza! Never have we had it anywhere better! Most of the time at other places it's a cookie cut 10 inch pie that is always hard and such. NOT HERE! Great pizza... Get it White Pizza style. No red sauce. Or at least try it once. Delish! They know how to greet you and leave you with a amile! 🍕🍽💯 UPDATE: It's too bad you cannot give a review for every visit! 5 Stars x 1,000!!!!

Testo Pepesto is my FAVORITE Italian place. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a great place for date night and it’s decorated so cute! Also they have a huge gluten free menu and I’ve never been disappointed.
