What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free shell pasta (GF shells) used in dishes like Mac & Cheese.
- Gluten-free fusilli used as a substitution in several pasta dishes.
- Pad Thai prepared with gluten-free rice noodles (explicitly described as GF in safety discussions).
- General GF pasta substitutions and the availability of gluten-free options in multiple dishes (as described by guests who ordered with allergy guidance).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possibility.
- A few reviews acknowledge that cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed, and some sauces may contain gluten.
- Positive experiences often hinge on careful staff communication, asking for allergy versus preference, and using dedicated equipment or separate prep when possible.
- Occasional reports of gluten exposure or mixed results remind diners to proceed with caution and clearly communicate needs at the point of order.
