- The menu also shows a variety of pasta dishes that can be prepared with GF pasta shapes, and at least one reviewer notes the pasta can be tagged for safety.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be entirely ruled out.
- Some diners have reported cross-contact concerns in practice (e.g., a bread course at the table).
- A few reviewers note positive precautions (e.g., separate cooking water, staff awareness, and labeled dishes), but there are also occasional negative experiences.
- One reviewer mentions that gf pasta is imported from Italy and that staff engage with guests about safety; another notes that gf items aren’t always clearly marked on the menu.
