What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (GF pasta is available; staff are described as knowledgeable about avoiding cross-contact)
- Tomato basil soup (gluten-free option cited in reviews)
- Caesar salad prepared with no croutons (when requested)
- Gluten-free desserts (e.g., gluten-free dessert options noted by guests)
- Salmon salad and other GF-marked dishes (as referenced by diners)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so inherent cross-contact risk exists.
- There are conflicting experiences: some guests report safe experiences with careful preparation, while others have experienced sickness despite precautions (e.g., one recent review describing illness after a GF pasta dish).
- Some diners mention that there are separate handling practices (e.g., pasta cooked in fresh water) or dedicated stations, while others warn that cross-contact can still occur.
- The presence of gluten-containing items (bread) on the premises means vigilance is essential.
