🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free dough balls (Dough Balls Al Forno / Gluten-Free Dough Balls)
  • Gluten-free pizzas made on a dedicated GF base (Romana and Classic recipes on GF bases)
  • Gluten-free pasta dishes when ordered with gluten-free Fusilli pasta (examples include Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana; see GF pasta options on the GF menu)
  • Gluten-free desserts such as chocolate brownie and various sorbets/gelatos
  • Piccolo (kids) gluten-free options, including GF pizzas and GF dough balls

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. While robust precautions are described (separate prep spaces, utensils, color-coded signaling, and separate serving methods for GF items), the non-dedicated status means there remains a non-zero risk of cross-contact in theory.
  • Signaling practices (e.g., GF plates and color-coded pizza cutters) are designed to minimize mix-ups, and staff are typically knowledgeable about gluten-free options. However, as with many chain venues, occasional lapses or variations between locations can occur, particularly during busy periods.
