🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pasta (penne) is available.
  • Gluten-free pizza dough has been referenced in diner discussions.
  • Some sauces and preparations may be compatible with gluten-free needs when paired with GF pasta; several reviews note “lots of GF options” when using GF pasta.
  • Separate fryer usage is mentioned in at least one account, which may reduce cross-contact risk for fried items like parm fries.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • Cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out, though there are reports of accommodations (e.g., staff arranging for celiac needs) and, in some accounts, a separate fryer for gluten-free items.
  • Gluten-free pasta and gluten-free dough are available in some cases, but not all dishes may be automatically GF; confirming specific items with staff is advised.
