🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • GF penne dishes (pasta prepared with gluten-free penne and served with various sauces, e.g., Alfredo)
  • Mizithra cheese pasta with browned butter prepared on GF terms
  • Penne with seafood (e.g., seafood penne with marinara)
  • Mushroom penne and other GF pasta dishes described as safe when prepared with dedicated GF water and separate prep
  • Any dish that is explicitly ordered with GF pasta from the separate GF menu and confirmed with the kitchen/manager

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is a theoretical risk, especially during busy periods.
  • Some items (like certain desserts or dressings) may have gluten-containing ingredients or may be prepared in ways that could introduce gluten, so it’s important to ask and get confirmation for each component.
  • A recent guest reported illness despite precautions, underscoring that nothing is risk-free in a high-volume setting.
