What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free desserts are available (three GF desserts were mentioned in a recent review).
- Gluten-free bread option is available as a substitution (GF garlic bread is explicitly suggested in dining discussions).
- Pasta and buns can be swapped for gluten-free versions at times (a longstanding practice noted by guests).
- Gluten-Friendly options exist, with stated safety measures for safe preparation (no dedicated GF facility, but a framework to minimize risk).
- A reviewer described a safe experience covering salad, entree, and dessert course, highlighting safe preparation across courses.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment does not have a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination is a material consideration.
- Several guests specifically note staff awareness of cross-contamination and modifications; combined with safety-focused language in a 2025 update, this suggests precautions are actively pursued, though not eliminating risk entirely.
- The menu is not always GF-labeled in-practice, so proactive communication with staff remains important for any gluten-related concerns.
