I live in West Chester and, as a celiac( severe gluten intolerance ) have about 4 options to eat out at. Ate here yesterday, got the GF truffle mushroom flatbread and GF pasta. The bartender (I sat at the bar to dine for lunch) was so knowledgeable when I asked "what GF items on your menu are celiac friendly?" All pasta dishes could be subbed out with GF penne. The bartender explained breaded chicken could be grilled, etc. it was really nice and reassuring to have such a knowledgeable restaurant staff member to accommodate my questions and dietary needs.
For the pizza, The bartender explained that the pizzas do share an oven, but the gluten-free pizzas are put on a grate to elevate them and separate utensils are used for handling. I was a little uncertain about this but ordered anyway.
Unfortunately the pasta dish was bland and not really seasoned (which is common with GF stuff). I wish the mushrooms on the flatbread were a little more sauteed, but great presentation.
I did not feel any side effects from potentially being glutened. 4 stars for the bartender's knowledge. Anywhere you go, do not assume GF labels mean celiac friendly. You have to ask!
This was a great find. We spent the day at Longwood Gardens and had made reservations here for a big group. Food was great! Everyone was happy with their food. Lots of gluten-free options. I always feel bad that there are only a few options, while the rest of us have a big menu to choose from. While the food was great, the whole experience was better, because the person in our group with celiac was able to have lots of choices and enjoy their meal. I do have to mention that we all love Italian food and some of the best "Italian" cooks I know were in my party, and we were all pleased with our meals and appetizers. That's saying a lot.
I would definitely go back if I'm in the area.
I hosted my wife's birthday party here and they knocked it out of the park. There were 8 of us and the worst thing about the whole night was that the specials sounded so good, but there were too many. There were so many we couldn't remember them. The service was wonderful and the meals were outstanding! I had the seared scallops to start and they were AWESOME! Seriously, I wanted to lick the bowl the red pepper sauce was so good. The Ama Caesar was a hit as well and my wife raved about the mushroom soup. They made me a gluten free version of one of the specials that was an incredible seafood filled pasta. Others at the table raved about the chicken parm, risotto porcini, and the short ribs (I think) looked amazing too. The portions were large, but not crazy. We even had some room for their excellent desserts. Our server had to deal with multiple food allergies and did an amazing job. My favorite thing was she didn't just guess, she asked the kitchen and gave us answers. I loved every minute of our meal. Will definitely return when back in the area. If you're in West Chester don't skip because it's just 15 minutes outside town. BYOB is also a nice thing. HIGHLY recommend!
Hands down the best gluten free pizza in Chester County. Owner's wife has celiac so he took the time to get the crust correct and makes it perfect. Lots of places offer gf pizza, and its just some pre-made cardboard they will half heat up for you and serve soggy - not Pizza Peddler, it is the same delicious crispiness that everyone loves about pizza.
Great food and the real candlelight adds a pleasant ambiance. Friendly staff and accommodating to dietary requests. Thank you for always having a gluten free pasta option! The only area that needs some improvement is the service (shorten the wait times for getting orders and make sure to check on the table throughout the meal). We skipped dessert only due to the fact that the meal took over 2 hours from when we sat down to when our leftovers were boxed up.
I was there for a luncheon after a memorial service. The staff were extremely accommodating, and made gluten-free variations of the food that was offered for the luncheon for my wife who has Celiac disease. And the food was great!
My first time here. The Atmosphere was great service was excellent and the food was amazing! The sauce was the best I've had in a long time. Plenty of gluten free options for me. I felt like I was home at a family dinner and reminded me of when I was a kid. The food is authentic and truly amazing!
Celiac friendly
