| Stracciatella |

| Polenta |
Well, it was fine. Not good. Not bad. Fine. The wait was 35 minutes for a 9:30 reservation on a Tuesday, pretty ridic. Our waitress was quite nice and pretty knowledgeable about the GF situation for the menu. She okayed my choices so I ordered the grilled octopus, mushrooms, polenta, and the home-made stracciatella (to be fair, at first glance, it doesn't look like there are a lot of GF options but these were what I wanted to order anyway so it worked out).
Octopus was good, nice charred taste, polenta was a creamy dream, mushrooms fine (perhaps a giant pile of mushrooms was a bit ambitious both on my part and theirs), and the stracciatella, well, a bowl of cheese is always delicious even if you can't spread it on bread.
According to my dining companions, I can report that the ribolita was delicious. That's one of those things I think wouldn't be worth even trying make gluten-free. It's an Italian bread soup that conjures up some lovely, culinary memories from my time studying in Florence, but I guess those memories will just have to suffice.
