- Gluten-free fusilli (can be used to build various dishes).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk.
- Some diners report getting gluten when sauces or shared cooking surfaces aren’t fully controlled; others report successful avoidance with proactive staff communication and kitchen precautions.
- Best-practice steps for a celiac diner: clearly indicate allergy vs. preference, verify that GF components and utensils are used, and consider asking to see allergen guidance or speak with a manager if you have concerns about specific sauces or preparation methods.
