"Excelente atención y gran variedad de platos sin gluten. Ideal para celíacos. Antes de la comida te traen pancitos sin TACC, muy ricos. Las porciones son abundantes y sabrosas, y el personal es súper amable y bien predispuesto. Sin dudas lo recomiendo y voy a volver."

"Si pudiera le daría 10 estrellas sobre 5. Hermosísimo lugar, atención excelente, comida absolutamente espectacular, muuuy sabrosa y todo sin gluten. No tiene sentido lo excelente que es este lugar. Solo presten mucha atención si piden cosas veganas porque pedimos una milanesa vegana y nos la trajeron con queso normal"

"Pedimos la bondiola desmechada agridulce , ñoquis de papa con salsa de champigñones y una limonada de frutos rojos de 2litros, increíble el sabor de las cosas, el precio es un poco alto, pero vale la pena por lo buena que estaba la comida y lo abundante que son los platos. (Ambos platos eran media porción) 30.000$c/u Los tiempos de preparación fueron rápidos y la atención de los meseros también. Lo recomiendo... solo si querés comer bien."

"De lo mejor! Es increíble que toda la comida tan deliciosa sea sin TACC.. Yo sufro SIBO y pregunté si el plato venía con cebolla y se ofrecieron a hacerlo sin cebolla sin ningún problema.. Fuimos con reserva, recomendaría reservar porque no es muy grande.. La entrada riquísima y pidan la panera que también es buenísima.. El arroz con calamares fue muy muy muy delicioso y el tiramisú.... sin palabras! Excelso! Riquísimo. Gracias por la atención, volveremos!"
