🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free calzones (made with gluten-free dough). Explicitly supported as a feasible option by multiple reports.
  • Gluten-free salads (salads that can be made gluten-free and prepared with precautions; Caesar salad can be made gluten-free by omitting croutons, per some guidance in the collected information).
  • Nutella banana dessert (gluten-free) as a clearly identified gluten-free option in the referenced gluten-free guidance.
  • Note: These items are identified as explicitly safe within the collected information. The broader menu can be adapted to be gluten-free, but not all items may be safe due to kitchen setup and cross-contact considerations.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact remains a risk factor to consider.
  • Some diners report that the gluten-free dough and regular dough share equipment or space (e.g., the same oven or brushes in some accounts), which could introduce gluten exposure if not strictly managed.
  • A portion of recent feedback acknowledges the staff’s efforts (gloves, separate prep areas, labeled orders) but also notes the possibility of gluten-containing ingredients or flour being present in the environment.
  • Recency matters: several positive experiences are from the last few months, but there are also more cautious or negative notes from other diners. This variability underscores a non-zero risk, even when precautions are followed.
