What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (GF pasta available for most entrees)
- GF pesto pasta (explicitly noted)
- Gluten-free desserts (examples include a chocolate mousse dessert; budino options noted without crunchy toppings)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk exists despite precautions.
- Guests repeatedly report staff knowledge and willingness to modify dishes and confirm with the kitchen about gluten-free status, including instances of separate meals for strict gluten and dairy-free needs.
- Some menu items (notably non-GF pizzas) are clearly not safe for celiac disease, underscoring the need for careful menu navigation.
- While many recent experiences are positive, the lack of dedicated GF infrastructure means risk cannot be eliminated, especially for highly sensitive celiac diners.
