What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread served at the start (warm and buttered in many experiences).
- Dana’s Parmesan crusted chicken (a repeatedly cited GF option).
- Short rib risotto and other risotto dishes that are described positively in GF contexts.
- Drunken shrimp, various GF entrées, and other GF menu items such as gnocchi and salads are mentioned in reviews as part of the extensive GF lineup.
- A broad range of GF-friendly desserts is commonly highlighted.
- Note: The gluten-free menu is documented as a separate, extensive resource, and items labeled GF are prepared with attention to cross-contact. Availability may vary by location and day.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some reviews across locations report occasional cross-contact concerns or mistakes, which underscores the importance of communicating clearly about true allergies (celiac disease) and verifying that the kitchen notes are followed.
- The restaurant group emphasizes safety through a dedicated GF menu, ticketing/notification systems, and, in many cases, separate prep areas or fryers. However, experiences can vary by location and day, so it’s prudent to reconfirm safety procedures when you visit.
- Overall, the pattern of responses is strongly favorable, but a small number of incidents remind diners to stay vigilant and to advocate for their needs.
