✅ Reported safe options
- House-made gluten-free pasta (penne and spaghetti)
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (e.g., GF spaghetti with pesto sauce)
- Limoncello dish with gluten-free pasta and shrimp
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contamination risk.
- Positive signals include staff confidence about cross-contamination and reports of separate water being used for GF pasta on at least one occasion.
- Diners should communicate clearly about their gluten sensitivity, confirm current kitchen practices, and be mindful of potential cross-contact in shared cooking spaces or utensils.
