- Side Salad (gluten-free by default).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a consideration.
- Prep areas and equipment are often described as shared, with precautions such as glove changes, clean surfaces, and separate trays or foil used for GF orders. While these practices reduce risk, they do not eliminate it.
- Some menu items (e.g., meatballs with breadcrumb coatings, garlic bread, or other wheat-containing components) are off-limits for celiacs unless explicitly confirmed gluten-free, so it’s important to follow the GF guidance for each item.
- Occasional notes about GF bread stock shortages or recalls mean you should call ahead to ensure GF bun availability on the day of your visit.
