What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- House-made gluten-free pasta (in-house)
- Gluten-free bread served at the start
- Gluten-free tiramisu
- Gluten-free gelato
- Polenta (gluten-free, noted in weekend brunch discussions)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which introduces inherent cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen.
- Notable caveat from a guest experience: a fried calamari order was questioned for GF status, highlighting the importance of explicit, item-by-item confirmation with staff.
- Some accounts emphasize strict staff guidance and separate handling for GF items, but the absence of a dedicated fryer and the non-dedicated facility means vigilance is still needed.
