What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free mushroom caps
- Gluten-free pasta (notably linguine and penne forms mentioned in reviews)
- Vodka sauce penne (gluten-free)
- Amaretto-flavored gluten-free dessert cookie
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- The kitchen states that allergens are handled and GF options are available, but cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed.
- This creates a meaningful but not insurmountable risk for people with celiac disease, particularly for dishes prepared near gluten-containing ingredients or shared prep areas.
