GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY DINNER

slightly modified menus also available for Lunch & Brunch

ABOUT OUR GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY MENU
Our GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY menu has been a welcomed blessing to our gluten free patrons since it was first introduced over a decade ago. Our GF pastas are made with corn flour, and our GF Pizza is made with an imported Italian Gluten Free flour. While we work very hard to keep all of our gluten free guests safe, Nizza is not solely a gluten free restaurant and there is always a risk of cross contamination.

From the middle of the meal (about 15 minutes after the food was served) until we were finished eating, we were rushed in not so subtle ways by the waitstaff. As soon as the food on a plate was finished, the waitstaff whisked it away. In one instance, the food was still on the plate, and we asked it for it back before the waitress walked away. I looked around, and there were open tables and no one waiting at the door, so we didn’t know what their rush was. We had not said that we were racing to get to a show. As for the food itself, it was ok, not as good as on previous visits, and smaller portions than in the past.

The plsce was hopping when we got there but our table was waiting for us. The host and waitress were lovely. We all got the $45 restaurant week special and the servings were generous and delicious. I hade Cacio and pepe, salmon and tiramisu. All prepared perfectly. We completed the meal with plenty of of time to make it to the theater . Would highly recommend !

Stopped in to enjoy their restaurant week menu.. the pasta starter was fantastic, but the chicken was the saltiest roasted chicken I’ve ever had. Sadly, it wasn’t enjoyable.

Great spot to grab dinner before a show! Seated is in the back at a booth, comfy and warm. Absolutely loved the spritz! Salmon- moist and delicious , Spinach Ravioli- kiddos licked the plate clean, branzino perfect. The gnocchi was the only disappointment, my daughter ordered based on waiter suggestion. It really just lacked flavor but there was plenty of the other dishes to share. Would go back again.

Lovely lunch and convenient location to our theater venue. We had a front window seat, which was fun until it got cold. The staff were attentive and gracious when we asked to be moved to another table for dessert.
