What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Spaghetti Parmesan (gluten-free version)
- Gluten-free meatballs
- Minestrone (no noodles)
- Caesar salad (no croutons)
- Gluten-free bread or rolls
- Gluten-free dessert options (as noted in experiences with GF-friendly dessert offerings)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This inherently carries a higher risk than a dedicated GF facility.
- Historical reports exist of gluten-related issues at the restaurant, including at least one past incident of feeling glutened. However, more recent feedback emphasizes improved safety practices, such as separate GF prep, clearly labeled GF dishes, and staff education.
- Several recent patrons report positive experiences with safe, clearly labeled gf meals and staff who are knowledgeable about gluten-free needs. There is ongoing emphasis on asking questions and confirming preparation details to mitigate risk.
