🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free crust pizzas: prepared as GF to minimize cross-contact (GF crust baked in a pan in wood-fired ovens).
  • Gluten-free pasta options: meals can be prepared using gluten-free spaghetti.
  • Many items on the menu can be made GF; items that cannot be made GF are marked on the GF menu.
  • The dining approach emphasizes separate handling for GF items and staff knowledge to guide safe prep (as reported by recent diners).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which introduces inherent cross-contact risk in a shared kitchen.
  • There are historical reports of illness tied to gluten-containing dishes, though many more recent experiences describe successful GF prep and safe dining when properly managed.
  • Some accounts mention dedicated GF space/equipment, while official data indicates the absence of a dedicated gluten-free facility. This mixed messaging means there is potential risk, but mitigations are in place and often effective when staff follow protocols.
