What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pizza bases: All Romana and Classic pizzas can be ordered on a gluten-free base, served with a color cue (purple slicer) to indicate GF status.
- Gluten-free dough balls: Available as GF variants (Dough Balls Al Forno and other GF dough ball options).
- Gluten-free pasta: Most pasta dishes can be made GF when served with gluten-free Fusilli pasta (examples include Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, and Napoletana; some dishes may be excluded, so ask for the GF pasta option).
- Desserts and snacks: GF desserts such as certain gelatos and brownies are listed as suitable for Coeliacs; GF dough balls and other GF treats are commonly offered.
- Kid-friendly GF options: The Piccolo menu includes GF pizzas and pasta options, keeping GF choices available for younger diners.
- Allergen information and certification: The menu and in-restaurant practices emphasize GF labeling and Coeliac UK accreditation in several sources.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is some inherent cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen. Reports and menu notes indicate measures to reduce risk (color-coded plates, separate utensils, GF marking, and staff training), but complete isolation cannot be guaranteed.
- Some accounts reference shared ovens or prep surfaces in certain contexts, so it’s wise to explicitly confirm kitchen practices for your order on the day of dining.
- Overall, the pattern of recent positive experiences and explicit GF practices suggests responsible handling, but a cautious diner should still verify the current process with staff when arriving.
