What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta substitutions for most pasta dishes using gluten-free penne (commonly offered; can be requested as the default substitute for many dishes).
- Sauces and dressings prepared gluten-free when customized for celiac safety (servers and chefs often confirm these details at the table).
- Salads with gluten-free dressings; croutons can be avoided or removed as needed.
- Desserts such as gluten-free crème brûlée.
- Chicken dishes that can be prepared gluten-free (with modifications like using a gluten-free breading alternative such as potato-chip crust in some preparations).
- Pasta dishes that use GF penne instead of traditional noodles; some reviews indicate “all pasta can be changed to GF pasta.”
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free environment, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle. However, multiple recent reports describe proactive avoidance strategies (chef consultations, separate preparation spaces or methods, and confirmation of GF ingredients).
- There are occasional negative anecdotes (gluten exposure or miscommunication) in the broader history, which underscores the importance of explicit, early dialogue with staff and the chef.
- On particularly busy nights, the risk of missteps can rise if orders aren’t clearly communicated and verified at the table.
