As someone who has been a diagnosed Celiac since 2008, I've found that almost too many restaurants now serve 'gluten free' food, but haven't necessarily trained their staff to know what that means. I often worry at chain restaurants about cross contamination - or worse - that I'm getting entirely the wrong thing. \n\nAt Ottavio, the back of the menu lists all gluten free items and explains that they've provided a Celiac-friendly menu since 2007 (i.e. Before it was cool). I was immediate more at ease.\n\nThe server brought me gluten free bread as a starter. It was on the house and - wait for it - served piping hot as opposed to dried out and terrible. My partner (a typical gluten eater who no longer sees bread as a novelty) had originally declined his serving, but after stealing a few bites of mine, he decided he definitely wanted his own bread.\n\nI had the granite (or garlic bread with cheese if you're from outside of Montreal) and GF Californian pizza. The crust was good - maybe a little dry, but very satisfying with a ton of goat cheese. Everything came quickly. The portions are big and I left with half a pizza for lunch tomorrow so that we could save room for dessert - cr\u00E8me brule. To top things off, it's BYOW."^^ . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ .
