What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pizza bases for Romana and Classic recipes (the common way to render many pizzas GF).
- Pasta dishes that can be ordered with gluten-free fusilli (where offered as GF).
- Gluten-free Dough Balls (often served with GF bases and in clearly labeled formats).
- Gluten-free desserts and desserts prepared to standard GF options (e.g., brownies, gelato flavors) as part of the GF menu.
- Gluten-free beer options have been indicated in several reports.
- Piccolo (children’s) GF options, including GF pizzas and dough balls, are available in some locations.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risks exist in theory.
- On the other hand, there are robust, repeatedly cited practices in place: separate preparation spaces and utensils, use of rice flour, color-coded plating (e.g., black boards) to distinguish GF dishes, and dedicated pizza cutters for GF pizzas. These measures are frequently described as effective by many diners.
- There is at least some conflicting anecdotal evidence (e.g., a recent report mentioning the same oven being used for GF and non-GF orders). This indicates that, in practice, cross-contamination risk can vary depending on how strictly processes are followed during peak times. Overall, the majority of recent experiences depict a careful, safety-conscious operation, but a cautious diner should still communicate needs clearly and verify how orders will be prepared on the day of visit.
