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.
