    I had high expectations based on Yelp reviews, but it was just OK. Knowing that one of us has a gluten allergy, they served us warm gluten free bread, which was very nice compared to gluten free bread that we’ve had at other establishments—the crust was crispy while the white part no soft and moist. We had montepulciano by the glass, and really enjoyed it. We shared the crispy artichoke salad, which was pretty good. The artichoke was tender and cooked perfectly, albeit not really “crispy”. We then had the bucatini with clams and Lumache Pugliese (sweet sausage with broccoli rabe and garlic) made with house made gluten free rigatoni. The house made rigatoni was better than most dried box gluten free pasta, but it actually looked like a big elbow macaroni than rigatoni. It was cooked exactly al dente. The bucatini was also cooked al dente. Unfortunately both pasta dishes were way over salted, so we had to not get much sauce or broth on the pasta to make it palatable and thus was not able to enjoy the flavors of the dishes. The clams were small. We skipped dessert. Word of caution: if you are celiac or highly sensitive to gluten or seafood cross contamination, you might want to think twice because I had a very mild reaction the next day (I have very similar symptoms for exposure to seafood or gluten, so can’t really tell which I was exposed to) indicating some low level of cross contamination either by seafood or gluten. That usually happens when the kitchen doesn’t wash cooking vessels with detergent and only brushes it under the faucet in between dishes or uses the same cutting board for different things without washing in between.
