What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (explicitly available; multiple diners mention GF noodles and marked GF options).
- Salads ordered without croutons; some accounts emphasize dressing on the side to reduce risk.
- Protein mains that are commonly paired with GF sides or sauces, such as grilled fish or other protein-forward dishes, have been enjoyed by guests who specified GF needs.
- There are reports that dedicated pots/utensils exist for pasta in some visits, highlighting that staff can adjust to reduce cross-contact when asked.
- A dedicated GF menu exists in practice (items are marked as GF on the main menu), and staff often acknowledge the need to follow gluten-free preparations.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- There are a few recent and older accounts of gluten exposure or unsatisfactory handling when orders weren’t clearly communicated or when the kitchen workflow was not properly aligned with GF requests.
- Some guests report variability in how well staff understand gluten-free needs, underscoring the importance of speaking up and confirming specifics (e.g., separate cookware, no shared sauces, dressing on the side, etc.).
- Explicitly tell your server you have celiac disease and request separate cookware, pots, and utensils where relevant.
- Ask which dishes are prepared with GF noodles or without gluten-containing ingredients, and confirm if any sauces contain hidden gluten.
- Consider starting with GF-friendly staples (like GF pasta options or salads without croutons) and monitor your response closely.
