What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta
- Gluten-free bread
- Gluten-free pasta prepared in its own water (preparation practice explicitly noted in at least one account)
- Many dishes can be served with gluten-free pasta upon request
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- Some diners report positive experiences where staff described separate prep or careful handling; others report discomfort or safety concerns, including a bread-on-plate incident.
- Fried items may not be safe for some diners, according to one account.
- As with many non-dedicated GF venues, clear communication with staff and explicit confirmation of ingredients and preparation methods is essential.
