What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta (penne) prepared with gluten-free sauces and often cooked in separate water.
- Gluten-free pizza crust; some reports indicate substitutions and careful handling to minimize cross-contact.
- Gluten-free bread and flatbread options used as appetizers or starters.
- Gluten-free desserts (gelato, sorbet, and a gluten-free cake mentioned in menus or reports).
- Salads or dishes that can be adapted (e.g., Caesar salad prepared without croutons or breadcrumbs).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a potential risk in theory.
- Practices cited in multiple recent accounts include separate pots, separate water for GF pasta, and in some locations a barrier or separate oven for gluten-free pizzas. These precautions are positive signals, but there are also older reports of staff not fully understanding celiac severity, which underscores the importance of clear communication at the table and with the kitchen.
- A few diners have experienced gluten exposure or symptoms, reminding us that risk is not zero and safe outcomes depend on consistent, practiced protocols.
