What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta dishes can be made gluten-free, with a separate pot used for the gluten-free pasta. Gluten-free options are reported to be available even if a dedicated gluten-free menu is not offered.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contact risk exists by default in a general Italian kitchen environment.
- Positive signals include staff checking with the kitchen about gluten-free needs and the possibility of using separate pasta pots for GF dishes.
- A notable positive recent experience mentions feeling totally safe, but the evidence is not from a dedicated GF operation and should be weighed with the general practice in mind.
