What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta
- Gluten-free penne with sundried tomato sauce
- Gluten-free eggplant parmesan
- Gluten-free chocolate cheesecake
- Poached pear salad (GF-friendly preparation noted)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact is possible, especially with shared fryers/equipment.
- The kitchen can prepare safe pastas without a dedicated fryer, which is positive for gluten-free prep but requires clear communication to avoid cross-contamination.
- Some GF desserts may contain other allergens (e.g., almonds in a GF chocolate cheesecake); check ingredients if you have nut allergies.
- A number of older reviews mention labeled GF options being limited, reinforcing the need to ask questions and confirm with the kitchen about any dish.
