🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pizzas on a gluten-free base (Romana or Classic recipes) for multiple pizza options.
  • Gluten-free pasta dishes, especially when served with gluten-free Fusilli pasta (e.g., Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana).
  • Dough Balls prepared gluten-free (Dough Balls Al Forno and other GF Dough Balls options).
  • Piccolo (kids) gluten-free options, including GF pizzas and GF pasta.
  • Gluten-free desserts and gelato/sorbet options (GF brownies and GF dessert offerings are noted in experiences; some GF gelato flavors are described as safe).
  • Availability of two GF pizza base sizes (big and small) in some experiences, providing flexibility for appetite and hunger levels.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there remains an inherent cross-contamination risk when cooking in a shared kitchen.
  • Reported safeguards include: separate prep spaces and utensils, use of rice flour to minimize flour carryover, and signaling (colored plates and purple cutters) to differentiate GF items.
  • Some diners have noted occasional lapses or concerns about consistency, including experiences with miscommunication or safer handling not always being perfect, particularly during busy times or for takeout.
  • There is at least one recent takeaway experience reported as unsafe, underscoring that risk can exist in transport or non-dine-in contexts if precautions aren’t followed carefully.
