⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The venue itself is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, and there is an explicit warning about cross-contamination potential.
  • Some dishes and preparation areas may share equipment or ovens (e.g., clay oven use for pizzas), which can complicate strict gluten avoidance.
  • Public feedback includes both highly positive experiences with GF meals and occasional reports of adverse reactions; recent positive experiences and safety cues are weighted more heavily, but older negative experiences still exist.
  • As with many non-dedicated GF kitchens, the safest approach is to communicate clearly with staff, verify plate-by-plate, and consider personal risk tolerance.
