⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- No dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists in the kitchen and with fryer use.
- Calamari is labeled gluten-free in some notes but not celiac-safe due to shared fryers.
- Some desserts (gelato) are not gluten-free due to stabilizers; labeling for GF items may not always be visible, so staff confirmation is important.
- Some items are not clearly labeled as GF, so you may need to ask and rely on staff guidance to identify safe choices.
