What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bases for Romana and Classic pizzas (any can be ordered GF)
- Gluten-free Dough Balls (Dough Balls Al Forno options noted as suitable for coeliacs when served GF)
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (examples include Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana) when served with gluten-free Fusilli pasta
- Desserts and dairy-free options that are clearly labeled GF (e.g., brownies, sorbet, gelato options)
- Piccolo (children’s) GF items and options on the kids’ menu
- General GF offerings clearly marked on the main menu, with several items listed as GF-friendly
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated GF, so there is an inherent, ongoing cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen.
- However, multiple recent reports highlight strong controls: separate preparation spaces and utensils for GF dishes, color-coded plating signals, and staff who are knowledgeable about gluten-free practices.
- An older, negative experience exists in the collected information, but it is not representative of the recent safety signals observed in multiple recent visits.
- As with any shared-kitchen setting, it’s prudent to reconfirm safety measures with staff on arrival, especially if you have very high sensitivity.
