"Had found this spot online and thought it looked good by the reviews. Got cocktails to start which were nice. I informed the waiter that I was allergic to egg and nut (in French and English as I know it can get mixed up with the language barrier) he repeated and said he understood. We ordered the buffalla and tomatoes to start, which arrived with pesto on it (wasn’t listed on the menu). Thankfully, before trying it assuming my nut allergy had been passed to the chef, I asked another waitress that was walking past if there was nut in the pesto, and she said there was pine nut (the original waiter was running around and I could not get his attention). I informed her that I was allergic to nut and had already specified my egg and nut allergy to the other waiter, so she brought it back to the kitchen and another plate without the pesto was brought out. For main I ordered the tuna which included Gnocci. I know from previous experience that it can be made without egg, so having specified the allergy twice I tried a few. I started to feel ill and asked another waiter if there was egg. He checked with the kitchen and confirmed that there was egg in the Gnocci. I had to rush to the bathroom to get sick before the allergic reaction got worse. All pharmacies around were closed and I had run out of antihistamine. Thankfully, one of the waiters had antihistamine with him and kindly gave me the remainder of the packet. As a result of the food allergy and 20+ minutes in the bathroom trying to get sick, they said we didn’t have to pay. Had I assumed the food allergy was passed to the chef and had eaten the pine nut, it would have been a completely different situation resulting in a night in hospital or worse. The fact that the food allergy wasn’t highlighted even when the burrata with pesto was brought back to the kitchen is extremely disappointing, and dangerous. Had the food allergy not been an issue, I would have given 3 stars, as the food was mediocre (I was dining with someone who does not have food allergies)."
